There are many ways for us to reduce (减少) waste. For example, we can reuse paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers, glass, and cans (易拉罐)      1    new things. Here are some useful      2     to reduce waste.
Write on both sides of paper
Many people write on only one side of their paper. Why not try using both sides? Some students only use half the pages of their      3    before getting new ones. Try to use up all the paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to     4      e-cards (电子贺卡) instead?
Don’t throw away your old batteries (电池)
Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the soil      5     . This is because they have poisonous (有毒的) parts in      6     . So, don’t throw away batteries.     7    them together. Try to use rechargeable (充电的) batteries for your games and CD players.

根据短文内容．选择正确答案。

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?“ Mum said nothing. The next day. mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, "Now it's time for the great prize game. It’ s the following riddle..." It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

1.The two girls and John were in the same________

A. group B. family C. team D. class

2.John' s family may be very according to the passage.

A. far B. poor C. rich D. small

3.How did John get the prize, during the party?

A. By helping others. B. By asking for help.

C. By getting good grades in study. D. By winning the math game.

4.John _________with the shopping certificate after the party.

A. watched a basketball match B. saw a movie

C. bought something to wear D. made a phone call

5.The two girls felt ______when they found John wearing his new clothes.

A. happy B. sorry C . sad D. angry

选词填空。从方框中选出可以填入文中空白处的选项，并将其填入短文后相应题号的横线上。（其中有两个选项是多余的）（10分）

A. necessary B. comes C. well D. up E. hold F. habits

G. parents’ H. dressed I. forget J. nothing K. how L.from

Now lots of parents will buy everything that their children want to have. If they go on with the habit, their children won’t know the money 1 from hard work.

Some parents like to 2 birthday parties for their children. If they keep on doing this, their children will think it 3 for them to enjoy birthday parties every year. Year after year, maybe they will forget their 4 birthdays and only remember their own. It is against traditional habits.

Many parents don’t let the children do housework. They think children have only one thing to do. They should study hard and do 5 in their lessons. If parents go on doing this, the children will only learn to open their mouths to be fed and stretch out (伸出) their arms to be 6 every day. When the children grow 7 , they will be able to do 8 , and they won’t even find a job. Parents should teach the children 9 to do housework because it can help them start good 10 of working by themselves.
