【題目】 Joe, 75, lived very happily and had a beautiful family. He had four grandchildren, and they all visited him during their holidays.

Before they came to visit, Joe got his home ready for the children: cleaning the house and buying their favorite food. But while he was working, he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife. She died when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much. He was sad.

When his grandchildren came, they told Joe that they would find the watch. One granddaughter asked, "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?" Joe answered, "I think when I was cleaning the barn (谷倉)."

All the children went to the barn to look for the watch, except little Mike. They stayed in the barn for more than two hours but couldn't find it.

After they came back, Mike went to look for the watch in the barn. Joe asked why he was going there. The little boy just asked the other children not to follow him and to keep silent. He was there for about 15 minutes and then ran quickly to his grandfather. He found the watch!

Joe was very surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy answered, "I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so quiet. After a few minutes, I heard the' tick, tick' sound and found the watch." Joe hugged him and thanked the little boy.

【題目】 Good morning everybody! I am very glad to stand here to share my topic.

When preparing for this topic, I just want to search some articles and copy them down. I read a lot of articles, some from the university teachers, some from the famous stars, and even from the students of my age. But after reading them, I gave up the idea, I even felt shameful. Because the topic I want to talk about today is a serious topic full of pride.

We know that our country is full of sunshine, and we are the future of our country. So my dream is to be the hope of our motherland. I don’t want to talk about big events( 大事 ), I just want to call on young people to show the side of courage, good and confidence. We must learn to develop our own thoughts, correct the wrong ones and change our direction to the right side in future life. We should try our best to make our Chinese Dream come true.

Perhaps the strength (力量) of a person is small, but when he is connected with the motherland, he will be a big hero. Perhaps a dream is tiny, but when it becomes the dream of a country, it will be huge. Perhaps I can’t change our country on my own, but if thousands and thousands of young people work for the dream together, our motherland will be stronger and stronger.

I’m looking forward to realizing our Chinese Dream with all of the young people. Thank you for listening. That’s all.

【1】What does the writer think of his topic?

A.Funny.B.Serious.C.Shameful.D.Popular.

【2】What is the writer's topic probably?

A.Being a big hero in the future.B.Talking about some big events.

【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?
