The land was wet and forested, and made a home for the birds, other animals and many different plants.It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tailed hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.Suddenly it was announced that the "empty" land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds.When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built.

Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(摊位), everything was as environmentally(有关环境的) friendly as possible. The festival was powered by solar energy(由太阳能供电). There were specially labeled bins(贴有标签的垃圾桶) so that the waste could be used again after the festival. Free fresh water was provided for everyone so that guests didnˈt need to buy drinks in plastic(塑料的) bottles.I found the experience really interesting. Itˈs exciting to find myself sitting in a chair eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking tasty juice. There were many stalls for everyone, from little children to the old.This seems like such a great idea, to make something very fun and not cause great pollution to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the world!I really hope that there will be more events like We Love Green.

Environmental Protection PracticesDOn the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar (农历), all Chinese people celebrate one of their traditional festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival. Their celebrations include eating zongzi, rice wrapped in reed leaves in the shape of a pyramid, racing dragon boats and sticking mugwort leaves on their doors.In 2007, the central government decided to add the Dragon Boat Festival, together with two other traditional festivals—Tomb-Sweeping Day (清明节) and the Mid-Autumn Festival—to the list of public holidays.According to tradition, our ancestors (祖先) believed the hot weather in midsummer might causedifferent kinds of diseases (疾病). So to keep off diseases and drive out evil were the main purposes of the Dragon Boat Festival. Parents used colorful threads to make necklaces and bracelets (手蜀) for children, gave them beautiful embroidered bags (荷包), and painted the Chinese character for the "king" (wang) on their foreheads to drive away bad luck. The Dragon Boat Festival was also called "the kids festival" in some places. Spending such happy hours with parents, young children began to understand the festival as well as the traditions and culture behind it. Repeating the customs year by year makes it possible for kids to learn the traditions, accept them and pass them on when they become adults.41. How do people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?A.

We can read the passage from a magazine called ______.A. American HistoryB. Chinese HistoryC. Western FestivalsD. Traditional FestivalsEWe come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father's store, "Our Own hardware-Furniture Store" in Mott, North Dakota. We started working by doing odd jobs like dusting, arranging shelves and wrapping, and later graduated to servingcustomers. As we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than survival andmaking a sale.One lesson stands out in my mind. It was shortly before Christmas. I was in the eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was wearing a brown dirty worn coat. His shoes were scuffed(磨损的) and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me—too poor to afford to buy anything. He looked around the boy section, picked up this item and that, and carefully put them back in their place.Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes smiled and the dimple in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas present to buy for his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his time and look around. He did.After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy plane, walked up to my dad and said, "How much for this, Mister?""How much you got?" Dad asked.The little boy held out his hand and opened it. His hand was creased with wet lines of dirt from holding his money. In his hand lay two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he'd picked out was $3.98."That'll just about do it," Dad said as he closed the sale. Dad's reply still rings in my ears. I thought about what I'd seen as I wrapped the present. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn't notice the dirty, worn coat, or the Singles torn shoelace. What I saw was a radiant child with a treasure.46. When we started working in the shop, we did the following EXCEPT ________.A. serving the customersB. dustingC. arranging shelvesD. wrapping47. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We could serve only when we graduated from high school.B. I learned the lesson from my father when I was eight.C.

In some special situation, you can sell something that is worth $3.68 for 27 cents.B. Christmas presents should be sold cheaper.C. We should treat different people with different attitudes.D. Work was about something more than making a living.50. Which of the following can most probably be the title of the reading?A. A Special ChristmasB. The Meaning of WorkC. A Surprising GiftD.
