【題目】 At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of crazy kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.

One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing tool and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said seriously, “Einstein, you’re so crazy about playing that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”

“What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing?”

“My boy, you can’t think like that,” his dad said. “There is a story that people tell in our hometown. Listen to it now.”

“There were two cats playing on the top of a house. One cat was careless and fell down the chimney(煙囪) while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot(煙灰) on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the soot-faced cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. The soot-faced cat saw the clean-faced cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just walked down the street happily.”

“Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’. You have to think for yourself. If you follow others, you will never learn.”

Hearing this, Einstein laid down his fishing tool and returned to his room. He studied hard and didn’t follow others from then on. This allowed him to be successful.

So, what kind of people do you usually hang out with? Do they study a lot or do they just want to play all the time? Don’t blindly follow others.

【題目】 Why do we need to throw less away? There are two reasons. One is that some resources(資源) are nonrenewable(不可再生的). That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world. One example of this is oil. When we use up all the oil in the world, there will be no more.

There is another reason for throwing less away. All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Often, it is put into garbage dumps(垃圾場). Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The dumps will be filled up with all this trash.

There are three ways to cut down on trash.

One way is to recycle. When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again. Old newspaper may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted(熔化) and made into a bottle.

Another way to cut down on trash is to reuse things. You can wash and use again a bottle that can hold mustard(芥末醬) or something else.

The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the amount of trash you make, stop buying thing that you don’t need in the first place. That reduce the amount of the earth’s resources that you use.

【1】How many reasons do we need to throw less away?

______________________________________________

【2】Will the dumps be filled up with all this trash?

【3】If a broken plastic box is changed into a plastic ruler, what is the way is to cut down on trash?

【題目】 In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.

Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated(使絕緣) from heat or cold with paper.

However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.

So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cup instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.

In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.

【1】People in China began to use paper in ________.

A.the 5th centuryB.the 6th centuryC.the 7th centuryD.the 15th century

【2】Canada became an important country in paper making because ________.

A.it was a large countryB.it had lots of forests

C.it was a very rich countryD.the inventor was from Canada

【3】In Finland, paper is used for ________.

A.making bedsB.reducing wasteC.making umbrellasD.keeping warm

【4】According to the passage, ________ trees are needed to make one ton of paper.

A.10B.17C.2800D.48000000

【5】Paragraph 5 mainly talks about ________.

A.how paper boots are madeB.how paper was invented

C.how we can save paperD.how we can make useful thing
