Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (氣體) into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.

Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gas. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label （標(biāo)簽） ® are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package — three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.

58. The passage is mainly written for     _.

A. car producers     B. school students   C. parents   D. housewives

59. The underlined word "carpooling" in Paragraph 2 most probably means_     .

A. sharing a car      B. pulling a car      C. selling a car       D. improving a car

60. From the passage, we can learn that      _.

A. turning off the electricity when it isn't needed can save a lot of energy

B. electricity will cause great trouble to our environment'

C. cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air

D. recyclable products are marked with the ENERGY STAR label ®

61. Which of the following can be the writer's opinion?

A. No pains, no gains.                  B. Rome was not built in one day.

C. Little things can make a big difference.  D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大腦）to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.

Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information .And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.

In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.
