  In most situations, light helps us see.But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.

  When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies(星系).

  According to scientific research, about 2,500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment(设备).But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city.In most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.

  Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky.Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.

  When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles(圈)until they drop from tiredness.Sea turtles(海龟)need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights.

  Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that.They are still learning more.

  In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution.Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night.Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed.They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.

  Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.

(1)

Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点). Yet their parents are still eating and talking…and talking…and talking.
“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”
All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.
Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.
The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.
On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.
So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.
小题1:Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?
A.Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.
B.Because the dessert isn’t served in time.
C.Because they can do nothing but wait.
D.Because the food there isn’t delicious.
小题2:What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?
A.Children don’t like eating fancier food.
B.Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.
C.Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.
D.People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.
小题3:What conclusion can we draw from the research?
A.It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good food and play areas.
B.Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.
C.Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.
D.It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.
小题4:What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A.Cities need to help develop restaurant business.
B.Children are supposed to be much more patient.
C.Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.
D.Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.

  She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number.The telephone rings.Linda picks it up.

  “Hello, Mum.Is that you?”She says.

  “Yes, Mum.”Linda puts in.“I just wanted to ring to…”

  Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.

  “Yes, all right,”says Mrs Lee,“But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work…”

  “Four pounds fifty,”says David.

It’s over three years since I began to learn English. I’m glad that I am getting on well with it.

I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammar  I knew little about English idioms(习语).I thought each English word had the same meaning in Chinese. When I learn to say“I see a book on the desk,” I thought the English word “see ” was just like the Chinese word “ kan ”,So one day when my teacher asked me,“ what are you doing?”, I answered, “I’m seeing a book.” “That’s wrong .”  the teacher said, “you don’t see a book, You read a book. You can’t use English word like a Chinese one.. Be sure not to make the same mistake again.”

After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a“ high mountain”, but a“ tall man. ” In Chinese we use the same word “gao ” for both.。Again in English we say“ take part in the sports meeting ”, “ attend the meeting ” and“ join the army,”  while in Chinese we can use “can jia ” for all three. Interesting ,isn't?

So to study English doesn't only mean hard wok, it can be great fun,  too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idioms. We can learn English well only in the way!

But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I’ll try my best and work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I can work well when I grow up.
