Can you imagine that someone could cure all the diseases in the world? It seems like an impossible job， But Priscilla Chan wants to make it come true.

Chan， 31， is from the United States. Many people may know her as a wife of Mark Zuckerberg(扎克伯格)， the founder of Facebook. But Chan herself has done a lot to help people.

Chan and Zuckerberg said in September that they would give out $3 billion(十亿)， that’s about ¥20 billion in the next 10 years to help deal with all of the world’s diseases. As a doctor for children， Chan was a big driver in this decision. “By investing(投资) in science today， we hope to build a future in which all of our children can live long and meaningful lives，” she said.

She cares about not only children’s health but also their education. Before becoming a doctor， Chan taught science to the 4th and 5th graders at a school in California for a year. That year she started a project called The Primary School. It provides education for children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.

Chan herself knows how important education is to a child. She has a Chinese father and a Vietnamese mother. Her parents didn’t come to the US with much. But they worked hard to make sure Chan and their other two daughters had the best opportunities(机会) possible. Chan went to Harvard University in 2003 and now works as a doctor.

“I realized that I was so lucky to be what I was，” said Chan. “It drives me to make sure others， no matter what background they have， can have their opportunities， to reach their dreams and their full potential(潜能).”

15．Over 30% of the natural world has been seriously destroyed by humans （人类） over the last 30years．This is because the number of people living on Earth is nearly six billion （十亿）．All of these people need food，space and energy．As a result，lots of Earth's natural resources will be used up．When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil，animals often lose their living space．They cannot have enough food，and they will get hurt or die．
The World Wide Fund for Nature （WWF） is an international charity．It tries to prevent humans from destroying more of nature than is necessary．For example，in China WWF is working with the local government to reconnect （重新连接） some small lakes in Anhui Province to the Yangtze River and to create（创造） more protected areas so that China's natural beauty will not be lost in the future．WWF works in more than 50countries，saving rainforests and stopping hunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are in danger of being lost．WWF's main goal is to encourage development that does not harm the environment and the animals that live in it．Even though the charity is known all over the world，and a lot of people support the goals of WWF，not so many donate money often．This makes it difficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do．
54．Why has over 30% of the natural world been destroyed？D
A．Because hunters are killing rare animals．

3．Did you have a favorite plastic toy when you were a child？Did it break？Did your parents throw it away？Well，I know where it is．It's floating（漂浮）in the Pacific Ocean．Well，let me explain how it （89）can get（get） there．
Many countries put their garbage in the Pacific．Most of the garbage sinks．But plastic floats and   （90）moves（move）．The North Pacific Gyre（环流） pulls things towards the middle．So，all the plastic ends up in the same place．One scientist says the area looks just like"plastic soup"．
This"plastic soup"（91）was discovered （discover） about ten years ago．Since that time the amount of plastic in his area （92）has increased（increase） a lot．And this plastic will not just go away，it takes 400years for plastic to degrade（分解）．And，even worse，fish and sea birds are eating the plastic．They think it looks like food．The plastic doesn't kill them directly，but the fish （who are not smart!） think they are full．So，they stop （93）eating（eat） and die of hunger．Dolphins and whales will also eat plastic and die．
Governments are starting to work together to clean up this area，but it will take many years．That's why we should always try （94）to recycle（recycle） plastic…even our old toys．
20．
happen，around，help，not，sorry，need，back，usually，future，because
I don't like waiting in line when a shop assistant has a long telephone conversation．When that happens，I usually say，"Would you mind （66）helpingme？"And I don't like it when shop assistants follow me （67）around．Then I say，"Could you please （68）not follow me around？I'll ask you if I（69）need your help．Usually the shop assistants say they are （70）sorry，but sometimes they get mad．If that happens，I won't go （71）back to that store again．
I get annoyed（烦恼） when someone talks to me while I'm reading．This （72）happensto me all the time in the school library．When it happens，I （73）usually talk to the person because I want to be polite．But （74）becauseI'm polite，people don't know I'm annoyed．So they do the same thing again．Perhaps in the （75）future I should try not to be so polite．
1．Do you often throw away things you don't need anymore？Have you ever thought about how these things can actually be put to good use？Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind．We should rethink，reuse，recycle!We should save the earth!（45words）Savetheearth．
