先阅读（A）、（B）两篇短文，然后根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列四项任务。

A

give    country    serious    take    many

Some countries are better than others at looking after the environment. In Europe, Germany and the northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. People in   1   such as Germany put their garbage into different bags—paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. The garbage is then  2   away and it possible, recycled. Chemicals which are found in refrigerators are not allowed. There are laws that do not allow people to burn too   3   coal. In the 1970s, as people learnt more about environmental problems, the "Green" movement began and soon spread all over Europe. The “Green” movement tries to get governments to think   4   about the environment and how to look after it. It collects information about how industry is damaging the environment and  5   this information to newspapers.

B

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind the culture of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.

In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day(校友返校日). Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance(预先).
Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of some school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.
During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
