When I was young, my family led a(n)  37  life in the country. As you can imagine, many country roads are difficult to walk on. One   38   we were visiting some relatives and the   39  was very bad. It began to   40   on our way back home. Dad carried me on his   41  . Mom gave her overcoat to my   42  . We walked together through the rain for more than an hour.

I was fat at that time and Dad must be   43   to hold me for such a long time. He almost   44   down many times. In hope of   45   my father’s burden, I tried to carry myself,   46   I achieved nothing since I was just a little kid.

When we arrived home, the inside of our house was   47   with rain water. The rain had come   48    our leaky（有裂缝的）roof and water was everywhere.

Mom put bowls all around the house to try to   49  the rain. Then she put me and my elder brother to   50  , carefully placing us on the remaining   51   place. I fell asleep soon. When I opened my eyes, I found Dad and Mom were   52   in chairs, both having caught bad colds.

    This is my very earliest   53  . Though the evening has long passed, and now we live a happy life, I won’t forget the rain we   54  together. The rain, that evening, and especially my parents’  55  , will stay in my mind forever.

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.

But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.

4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

   A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

   B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.

   C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

   D. Other products are better packaged than food.

5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

   B. Needless material is mostly recycled.

   C. People like collecting recyclable waste.

   D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

The Japanese economy is at a standstill，Japan ’ s government has said, as concerns about the

strong yen(曰元）continue to grow. The recovery in the economy was “pausing"，the Cabinet Office said in a monthly statement.

It is the most negative that the government has been about the economy in nearly two years. The rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for Japanese exports were blamed for the setback.

In recent months, the government has insisted that the economy is “picking up". But it said it now expected the economy to Femain weak for some time, with “weakening" exports a chief concern. It said shipments to Asia in particular were becoming weaker, further hitting exporters that are already suffering from the strong yen.

The yen remains near a 15 - year high against the US dollar, despite the financial interfer-ence ( 干预）in the currency markets last month for the first time in six years.

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan(菅直人）has also passed a $ 63 billion stimulus(剌激）package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their prof-its. At the close of markets in Tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off the high of 81.27 yen.

"If the economy turns out as expected, we may end up describing the current situation as a soft patch，” one of die government officials said ’ “ But if it comes under further downward pressure, it could end up slipping into recession (衰退）.”

The Japanese government think the current bad economy situation is partly due to   .

A. the decline of the strong yen    B. the unsatisfactory exports

 C. the government' s mistaken policy   D. the decline in the quality of goods

In recent months, the government has a(n) attitude towards the economy situation.

A. shocking B. negative C. optimistic   D. aggressive

From the passage we know the government has taken measures mainly to   .

A. protect the foreign markets  B. protect profits of its hitting exporters

C. monitor the yen exchange rate    D. stimulate domestic demands

The passage could probably be found in .

A. government white paper   B. a science fiction

C. a travel journal D. a newspaper report

When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying (腐烂) and adding humus (腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.

In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.

It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation (轮作) of crops.

According to the passage, the land will become poorer________.

A. if all the dead leaves are cleared away        

B. if the humus is increased after the harvest

C. if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves 

D. if waste plant material lying about is buried

We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered_______.

A. when grasses and other plants appear again

B. when the treatment is given by nature alone

C. after new grasses and other plants have decayed again

D. after nature has been left alone for several months

A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because_______.

A. the productive power of a new field isn't higher than that of an old one

B. there are few free fields left for him to do farming

C. it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new field

D. there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow crops

It is most likely that the author will go on to ______ in the paragraph following the passage above.

A. introduce other methods of planting crops     

B. deal with how to prevent land getting tired

C. start another topic of how to make use of land

D. explain what the rotation of crops is
