But I don't agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, such as fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things everyday. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening.For example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and try not to order more food than we need. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best to form the habit of saving. ( )1.

One of the main reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two—thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill millions of birds each year, as well as millions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice. They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard(院子).Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife; it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.Keep your pet cat inside!

Answer the questions.Your Nose is Busy and ImportantYour nose has many important jobs, and is always busy.SmellingSmelling helps you gather information about the world around you. A good scent (气体), like flowers, brings you pleasure. A bad scent, like smoke or sour milk, warns you of danger. Most things around you release scent particles (微粒) into the air. These invisible chemicals enter the nose when you breathe. Nerves in the nose send information to the brain to identify a smell. You are able to recognize thousands of smells. BreathingMost of the air you breathe enters through your nose. The nose uses hair and mucus (粘液) to clean dust and germs (细菌) out of the air. The air that enters your nose contains oxygen. Your body uses oxygen to unlock the energy in the food you eat. Even when you sleep, your body needs energy to keep your heart beating and your brain working.TastingYour nose helps you enjoy food. Flavor is a mixture of taste and smell. The smell of the food helps you identify what you are eating. The sense of smell contributes more to (贡献) food flavor than the sense of taste .When you are sick and have a stuffy nose, your food doesn’t taste as good because without smell, food loses most of its flavor.Smell memorySmells can bring back memories. Your brain uses a process to create a picture in your mind from the odors(气味)you smell. Smells can affect your feelings because the part of the brain that helps you identify smells is close to the area that affects your emotions, mood and memory. More smell memories are collected as you get older.Your nose has many important jobs, and is more than just a smeller!76.How many important jobs does a nose do according to the passage?77.Smelling helps you recognize thousands of smells, doesn’t it?78.What does the nose use to clean dust and germs(细菌) out of air?79.What happens to your food if you are sick and have a stuffy nose?80.How do smells bring back memories?81.What do you think of your nose?
