     Founded two years ago, All Green Electronics Recycling is a full-service electronics recycler and
collector. It offers pick-up services as well as hundreds of convenient drop-off locations, nationwide.
Currently, it collects more than two million pounds of electronics per month. All Green Electronics
Recycling announces its new national headquarters' grand opening on January 13, 2011 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. ---- a Green Carpet Event ---- followed by a free, three-day electronics recycling event
aimed at giving back to the local community in Orange County. Both are open to the public and are
located at: 15561 Del Amo Ave. in Tustin.
     "We are particularly excited about the promising new job opportunities available for California
residents," says Arman Sadeghi, CEO, All Green Electronics Recycling.
     All Green is growing at jaw-dropping rates. While many companies continue to cut back and lay
off valuable employees, All Green has hired a new person every 4.1 days since its incorporation and
is predicted to hire another 100 employees in the next six months.
     In addition to new jobs, many local non-profits and schools will also benefit. All Green is creating
community partnerships and setting up collection events while donating a percentage of the proceeds
from the recycled electronics.
     Rather than allowing old televisions or computers to end up at the dump, All Green provides
the public with a way of recycling their old working or non-working electronics safely and responsibly
for free. In fact, those with at least 10 computers, monitors and televisions can go to:
http://www.allgreenrecycling.com to schedule a free pick up in many areas.
     Unlike many of its competitors, the company sorts and separates all e-waste within their warehouse
and does not ship anything overseas for processing. It also ensures that any electronics placed in its
care will never find its way into a landfill.
     All Green already has a recycling facility in Sacramento and is set to expand its New York
operations within 60 days.
     For more information: to check out the Electronics Recycling Carbon Footprint Calculator; or to

      "It's over! Thank goodness!"
      School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.
      Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛) by talking. I try to listen
politely, but usually I'm too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening
to.
      "My father's ill," she said to no one in particular (特别地). I could see worry in her eyes. I had never
seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.
      With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, "What's wrong with him?"
      With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, "Heart trouble." Her eyes lowered as she
continued, "I've already lost my mum, so I don't think I can stand losing him." I couldn't answer. My heart
ached for her.
      I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died.
      I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn't want anyone to go through that.
      Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of
family and cares too.
      I shouldn't have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged
her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
     I shouldn't have been so selfish and self-centered.
      Understanding people is an art.

3. The writer felt herself selfish because she had _____.

[ ]

A. thought of Janie as nothing but a driver

      On 27th February 2008, something very unusual happened in the UK; there was a rather large earthquake.
It was the biggest earthquake in 25 years in the UK. There have been very small tremors in the past but they
pale into insignificance compared to this one.
      It was felt in a large area across the country too, from as far north as Edinburgh in Scotland to as far
south as Plymouth on the south coast of England.
      The epicenter of the earthquake was in a small town in Lincolnshire, which is an area about two and a
half to three hours north of London by car. A magnitude of 5.2 was registered on the Richter scale.
      There were lots of reports in the news from people who felt the earth move. One man said, "We had
loads of vibrating and wall shaking and stuff, noise coming off the roof. I came outside-the chimney's on
the floor!"
      A collapsed chimney was the cause of what was probably the worst injury from the earthquake; a man
broke his pelvis when the chimney fell on him.
      Another man who spoke to the BBC described the moment the earthquake occurred, "Everything was
shaking. As soon as it happened we all went outside and saw everyone else down the street, coming out
and just realized it was an earthquake."
      The huge rumble, which was felt by a lot of people, surprisingly caused very little structural damage to
property.
       Most British people would be surprised to learn that there are 200-300 earthquakes in Britain every year,
but most of them are so small, they go unnoticed. The magnitude of this earthquake is fairly small in
comparison to some other natural disasters that have made international news, but for the people affected, it
certainly came as quite a surprise.

1. Before this earthquake ______.

[ ]

A. there was no signs of any shakings at all.
B. people did not feel anything unusual.
C. many people realized there would be a bigger one to come.
D. some small quakes were only too small to be ignored.

2. From this passage we know ______ is in the south of Great Britain.

[ ]

A. Lincolnshire
B. Edinburgh
C. Plymouth
D. Scotland

3. This earthquake _____.

[ ]

A. hardly caused any damages to the people's belongings
B. brought down many buildings in England
C. scared many people to death
D. made the world greatly surprised

4. After reading this passage we can infer ______.

[ ]

A. people in England faced the earthquake bravely
B. this earthquake seemed to be felt all over Great Britain
C. this earthquake is the biggest one in history
D. the chimneys in Britain are the most poorly built parts of the houses

    A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign which read, "I am blind,
please help." There were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad.
    A man walked by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box.Then he took the
sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would
see the new words.
   Soon the box was full. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who
had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you
the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
    That man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written
was, "today is a beautiful day and I can not see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were
saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
    Great men say, "In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a
good conscience (良心)."
    It's a beautiful thing to see a people smiling!And it's even more beautiful to know that you are the reason
of a person's smiling!

1. When did the man pass by and change the blind boy's sign?

[ ]

A.In the morning.
B.At noon.
C.In the afternoon.
D.At night.

2. Why did the second sign have a better effect?

[ ]

A.It told the truth in a straight way.
B.It told the passing people a lie.
C.It told people to buy some tickets for the boy.
D.It told people to feel lucky for not being blind.

[ ]

A.No pains, no gains.
B.Different ways, different results.
C.The early bird cathches the worm.
D.When the cat's away, the mice will play.

C.to be the reason of a person's smiling.
