Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.

Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Costa Rica. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.

Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco­friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.

A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco­friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.

Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco­friendly “green” way to treat storm water.

What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.

Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.

Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don’t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco­conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.

1.Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?

A. They are good for living conditions.

B. They increase pollution.

C. They can beautify the community.

D. They improve the environment.

2.Which of the following is the eco­friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?

A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.

B. They can keep the rain and storm water.

C. They can be healthy for the people around.

D. They can make the environment more beautiful.

3.One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that .

A. they cost less and are much easier to get

B. they may attract local wildlife to come

C. they require little care from the local gardener

D. they are more used to the local growing conditions

4.What do we know about rain gardens?

A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.

B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.

C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.

D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.

“Beauty is only skin deep." This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality. Some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.

In America，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health

experts advise against what is called“tanning”because of its links to akin cancer. In the African country of Senegal（塞內(nèi)加爾），some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite.

An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and

soaps. The World Health Organization says that 25％of Senegalese women use skin-lightening production a usual basis. These products can contain chemicals，like mercury（汞）， hydroquinone（對苯二酚），etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the akin. They can actually burn the eyes and skin.

Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results. She users a cream that is made from carrots，not the strong chemical，hydroquinone. She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Some women want to be black every day，but for her，she likes to be a shade of brown. Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband， to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.

This thinking troubles Senegalese film-maker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So，she made“This

Color That Bothers Me"，a film about the subject of skin lightening. She said，“I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man，to he loved or they want to please society，to succeed."

Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of skin-lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

1.The underlined part“the opposite" in Paragraph 2 means some Senegalese women ．

A. use sunlight to darken their skin

B. try creams to prevent skin cancer

C. use products to lighten their skin

D. take health risks to become beautiful

2.According to Adama Diagne，women shouldn't believe ·

A. beauty is just a personal choice

B. a cream from carrots is healthier

C. it is beautiful to be black every day

D. a product can make you beautiful quickly

3.We can infer that women in Senegal ．

A. attract attention with shockingimages

B. don't consider dark skin to be beautiful

C. find it hard to understand the true beauty

D. put beauty in the first place in their heads

4.What is Sall's attitude towards skin-lightening products?

A. Unsupportive. B．Casual.

C. Responsible. D. Positive.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Stay on the brighter side of life

One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well - being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you' re grateful for.1.

Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone , try acting like you' re happy-even if you aren't. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually f'ool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. 2.Reassure yourself that everything is good- even if you don't feel it。

“ 3.If you're stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly, too," says Anne

Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, you' re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that you're stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you'll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.

Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. 4.You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.

5. Try making someone else's day better .A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non volunteers. Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well - being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.

A. Try to help someone in need.

B. Want to give your attitude a lift?

C. People tend to think in an either - or way.

D. Act in an optimistic way-smile, laugh, tell a joke.

E. You'll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.

F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.

G. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around.
