The old man liked her very much. He made a beautiful cage(笼子) and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn’t find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn’t escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.

But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.

After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts.“Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?”one shopper replied.

But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easiertohandle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—the coming of the shopping cart.

【1】What do the underlined words“chromeplated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Shopping carts. B. Suitcases.

C. Private cars. D. Baskets.

【2】What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?

A. It was to reduce the burden of his employees’work.

B. It was to prove him to be a good inventor.

C. It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.

D. It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.

【3】Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.

A. attract people to buy things in his market

B. make his market different from the others

C. keep the groceries from being stolen

D. encourage people to use his shopping carts

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.

B. Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman’s invention.

C. Goldman’s invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.

D. There will be nothing that can replace Goldman’s invention.

I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many child disliking fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.

When the accident was happened, I was standing near a bus stop. There I saw an old lady waiting a bus with her umbrella. The bus soon arrived. There were too many passengers hurried to get on it that the old lady couldn’t get on. A driver closed the door without looking careful and drove away.

Dear friends,

May I have you attention, please? I'm going to talk about something focusing in Protecting Wildlife. So far millions of species have died off or, have endangered mainly for two reasons. For one thing, man has been killing them for food or other commercial reasons. Take antelopes for example. Poachers hunt them for their fur, that can be made into luxurious shawls. For another, human civilization has been developing very fast that man has invaded and destroyed wild animals' natural habitats. Human activity have greatly threatened their existence. If all the wild animals disappear one day from the planet, humans would feel lonely. The world is beautiful for its diversity. Besides, some animals are extreme useful in the field of science, while others are especially adorable, unique, and keep us a good company. However, we should learn to share the earth with them. Thank you for your time.

One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State,in the Pacific Northwest.Several years ago,thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields.The geese began to eat his carrot crop.Biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away.These efforts apparently succeeded,which made the farmer quite happy.

Wildlife Services also has a livestock(牲畜)protection program.The program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them.Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens,sheep and other animals that could be attacked.They also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept.And they advise people who see coyotes around their property to chase them away by shouting,making loud noises or throwing rocks.For home gardeners,a two-meter fence might help keep out deer.To keep out rabbits,a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high.It should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it.If snakes are a problem,remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places.And to protect livestock,consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys,which are very effective.Due to its effective work,ever since the Wildlife Services was started,it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico.

【1】The underlined phrase “unwelcome visitors” in the first paragraph refers to 　　　.

A. animals that attack the farmers

B. people who don’t care about wildlife

C. animals that do harm to the crops or livestock

D. people who pollute the environment of the farms

【2】It can be inferred from the second paragraph that 　　　.

A. the farmer didn’t have a gun to kill those Canada geese

B. Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its group

C. the carrot crop was eaten up by the Canada geese

D. the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much

【3】What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. Ways to protect livestock. B. Ways to deal with coyotes.

C. How to protect crops. D. How to find wildlife.

【4】How is the program getting along?

A. It remains to be improved.

B. It is very popular among experts.

C. It is well received by the local government.

D. Farmers in the U.S.,Canada and Mexico think it effective.

Last Wednesday our class organized a environmental activity whose theme were “Joining Together to Build a Civilized City” in a community. The students divided into three groups. Group 1 went from door to door recycling the using batteries. Not feeling tired, the second group had cleared up the posters and advertisements on the walls as good as the rubbish on the ground. The last group hand out the leaflets of the environmental protection and they also invited the resident（居民）to take part. The locals praised us with our practice and gave us many support.
