Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true.
Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work^ such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力)to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?”
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
【小题1】People don't always agree on whether to e»et up early.
【小题2】   In the passage the writer gives four reasons for early rising.
【小题3】   Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.
【小题4】Early risers don't look as healthy as late risers.
【小题5】The writer encourages people not to sleep late.

As prices and building costs keep rising, “the do-it-yourself”(DIY)trend(趋势) in the US continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Kose, “and we didn’t have enough money to buy it.” So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling (努力)to make a home when the cost of living is very high. The Koses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was very upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car myself. ”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how to do things yourself.

Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).

【小题3】According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.
A.washing fruit and vegetables under a tap
B.using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables
C.making sure taps are fully turned off all the time
D.turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth
【小题4】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Save Water by Turning off the Tap
B.How to Treat and Clean Wastewater
C.Keep Your Garden Green with Rainwater
D.Save Water Starting with Small Changes
【小题5】From the passage, we can know that_____.
A.we can get enough water by harvesting
B.most people pay no attention to saving water
C.we can practice rainwater harvesting in a small way
D.harvesting water is more necessary than conserving it
