2.On an airplane as she was flying across the United States,Dr.Jane Goodall noticed a woman sitting next to her.She asked the woman why she was so tired,and the woman said she was absolutely(21)A because she'd been up at two in the morning trying to (22)B the water.
Her young daughter was in an environmental group at school and her daughter's passion had turned to making sure her(23)B was eco-friendly.They were staying at the house of the woman's brother the night (24)D her trip,and in the middle of the night her daughter woke up to the (25)A of a dripping faucet.The daughter asked for (26)C turning it off as the faucet handle was (27)D.The only way to (28)A the leak was to dig to the pipe in the front lawn to find the main valve to turn the water off,and her daughter wouldn't go to sleep until the leak stopped.So at two in the morning (29)C in the family was out in the yard helping to(30)B to turn off the water.
Young people have much more(31)A to start and accomplish changes than what(32)D may believe.When children make a change in their lives,families are(33)D along to become environmentally friendly.
The story also shows that (34)B actions can have a big impact.We (35)B to think about (36)C events like Clean and Green Week.Instead,a lot of small changes can make a (n)(37)B.If hundreds or thousands of students(38)C their families to turn off the tap to save water,move the air conditioning temperature (39)D a degree or two in summer,drive less and make other environmentally-friendly changes,the (40)C family may change its behaviors.

1.The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette,or good manners,used to be the glue that held society together.(16)DSadly,these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by,a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.(17)F This has now almost entirely disappeared----and it is not entirely the fault of the men.I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them.They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by,whenever a person received a gift,they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible.(18)EParents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note.It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
(19)B
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.(20)C After all,a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present.It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left,it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.

A.Arriving on Time.
B.Leaving at the Right Time.
C.People leave with various excuses.
D.It enabled people to get on well with each other.
E.This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.
F.It could be the lady they were driving,or a stranger.
G.We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.
19.Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been(41)Da couple of times,but I could hardly claim to know my way around the(42)C.Moreover,my knowledge of foreign languages was(43)Bto a little college French.
I(44)A.How would I,unable to speak the language,totally unfamiliar with local geography or(45)A systems,set up interviews and do research?It seemed (46)C,and with eonsiderable (47)B I sat down to write a letter begging off.Halfway through,a though (48)Athrough my mind:you can't learn if you don't try.So I  (49)Bthe assignment.
There were some bad (50)B.But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced (51)D.And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote places,(52)Cguides or even advanced bookings,confident that somehow I will(53)B.
The(54)Ais that the new,the(55)C,is almost by definition scary.But each time you try something,you learn,and as the learning(56)Cup,the world opens to you.
I've learned to ski at 40,and (57)Dup the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I'll(58)Adoing such things.It's braver or more(59)Bthan others.I'm not.But I'll accept anxiety as another name for(60)Dand I believe I can accomplish wonders.

18.Students in British schools learn from an early age to give presentations as part of
their regular classroom activities.Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects they bring in to school-called"show and tell."(36)B Even so.a great many native English'speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group.A study shows that speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number one fear of the average person,while the second most common fear is death.
Needless to say,speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students
and employees.The best way to improve is to practice public speaking.Learners need to receive feedback(反馈)about what they are doing well and about their mistakes,(37)F One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters,an international organization that holds weekly meetings at which members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style in a friendly environment.
Charles LeBeau,the author of Speaking of Speech,is a professor and public speaking consultant in Toastmasters.Speaking of Speech tells about some methods of public speaking for non-native speakers.(38)E  In the book,to help them understand
presentation skills,Mr.LeBeau divides public speaking into three parts:the physical message,the visual message and the story message.
(39)DIt's the way that the body,as a speaker,is talking to the audience.Then there's the visual message.The visual message refers to the slides that we make and show the audience.The third message is the story message,the content of our presentation.It also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.
The simple approach has proved to be very effective.Mr.LeBeau says learners
improve quickly and do a good presentation after a few days of study.(40)G

A.He has also written books on the subject.
B.This training is a basis for later public speaking.
C.Speaking English is really necessary for students.
D.Body language is what he calls the physical message.
E:.English language learners around the world use this book.
F.There is a large industry of consultants training public speaking.
G.But he stresses it can take years to improve general English speaking ability.

16.Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November every year.It is about family (41)D,big dinners and being thankful for the things you have.
For me,Thanksgiving is about (42)A.It's about the warm feelings coming up in your spirit when you see your family.It's about the warmth of the holiday season,which (43)B a wall against the bitter cold weather that  (44)C much of the US this time of year.It's about the warmth of the burning wood(45)A in the fireplace,and the warmth of the first (46)A of Thanksgiving dinner.
Mom prepares all my favorite foods on Thanksgiving.The dinner table sits (47)D under the weight of plates of roast turkey,golden macaroni and cheese,expertly cooked greens,and hot cornbread.It's a lot,and each year I'm (48)C at how she manages to put everything together.
The first,most (49)D meal begins once all the food is ready.Everyone sits around the table,a prayer(50)B,and our glasses filled with wine.While eating,we go around the table to take(51)B to talk about what we're thankful for this year.Talking is quite a(n) (52)A when your mouth is full of delicious food.
