Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer.During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings.However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring.We need to look at ourselves, set new goals(目标), and decide how to improve ourselves.

In England ,people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year' s resolution(决心).These can be anything from improving one' s health through exercise or giving up bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance.

Luckily, we don' t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people.We can do this whenever we like.The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.

Sometimes it' s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there." I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier.

The trick(技巧)with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic(不实际) goals. If we do this, it's easy to lose heart, because the final goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals that you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.

1.In Paragraph One, the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time _________.

A.to take a walk around outdoors B.to enjoy fresh air and bright colors

C.to set goals for a fresh beginning D.for animals to have babies

2.According to Paragraph Four, the writer agree with ________.

A.Be swift to hear, slow to speak. B.All that ends well is well.

C.Well begun is half done. D.All roads lead to Rome.

3.What does the underlined word "daunting" probably mean in Paragraph Four?

A.changeable B.difficult C.lovely D.dangerous

4.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.If you see no progress, you'll be sad. B.Whatever happens, stick to your dreams.

C.Never lose heart when meeting with difficulties D.Your goals should be realistic and small.

If the population of the earth continues to increase , there will not be enough resources (资源) left to keep life on the planet. We will use up all the oil that drives our cars sooner or later .One possible way to work out the problem, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.

Sagan believes that before the earth’s resources are completely used, it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus(金星) and create a new world almost as large as Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a little water there.

Sagan suggests that algae organisms(海藻组织) can live in very hot or cold temperatures and at the same time produce oxygen. They should be bred(养殖) in conditions similar to those on Venus. When this has been done, In a short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.

When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will finally fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.

1.The population growth on Earth will cause the lack(缺乏) of _________.

A.food B.oil C.space D.resources

2.What is one of the difficulties for the human race to live on Venus?

A.The shortage of the algae B.The shortage of carbon

C.The much hotter weather D.The much cooler weather

3.Which of the following statements about the algae is NOT true according to the passage?

A.It can live in very hot temperatures. B.It can live in very cold temperatures.

C.It can break down the carbon dioxide. D.It can provide enough food for man.

4.This passage is mainly about __________.

A.the possibility of living on Venus B.the population of the earth

C.the American scientist Sagan D.the weather of other planets

Mobile phone history

Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government officers in society. In the US, mobile phone users were about 340,000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phones users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phones explosion(激增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phone users has also increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to 2.4 billion worldwide.

Mobile phone waste

When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials like lead, mercury and cadmium。 They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to people’s health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don’t know their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.

Benefits of recycling mobile phones

Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194,000 US families electricity(电) for one year.

How mobile phone recycling works

Many people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine(使结合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt(融化) down and separate parts of the phone in order to get the valuable natural resources, such as gold and platinum. Plastic and glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.
