【题目】We recycle rubbish , so why not language ? Recycling language means using vocabulary(词汇)that you have learned before again and again . However , unlike rubbish that piles up(堆积)in our environment , if we do not recycle language , we simply forget it . So how do you recycle language? There are basically three ways to do it .

The first is through reading . Go back to your favorite articles and read them once more . Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item . If there are some that you are not sure about , make a guess and you will probably guess right .

The second way to recycle it through writing. Look at some of your favorite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don’t worry if you have made mistakes. You should learn from mistakes.网]

【题目】Today there are more fires than in the past . Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America . Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires and Australia has about 60,000 each year. These fires destroy(损害)huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes .

Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change . In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer with strong winds in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives .

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire as quickly as they could. They didn’t allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result , today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被)which provides more fuel(燃料)for fires . So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow some fires to burn naturally. The fire makes old trees thinner. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore , if a fire is not a serious threat(威胁)to people , firefighters may let it burn naturally .
