As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish   1  in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is   2  every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are   3  energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait  4  my ideas on how to promote it.

First，we should   5  a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy.   6  the no-car day, neither students   7  teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time，just walk or run. Use our   8  and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags   9  . No one can stand the “white pollution”，   10  it is wise to use cloth bags which can   11  again and again.

12 ，one thing   13  we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn   14  the lights the moment we leave, use  15  sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these：no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.

Mistakes choosing food

University kitchens serve(供应）many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food，because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.

Eating right

If you，re careful, you don，t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas：

Think more about what you eat.

Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.

Don’t eat desserts full of sugar； have fruit after dinner.

Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.

It，s all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.

Write down the foods you eat.

Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!

Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First , we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(隧道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

On the fifth day a tragedy happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over.

All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm .

My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness . They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.

Although much time has passed , I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world , but it taught me much more.

Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork . Working together , the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves . I also learned that they should be admired for their hard word.

But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity is a natural part of life , and must be accepted . Unlike the ants ,we cannot give up when we are sad . We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone , we must building another .

Giving up , I say , is not a good choice.

A小组工作     B团队合作     C辛勤劳作     D不停工作

4.What did the writer come to realize a few years later?

A．Working together is useless.               B．Teamwork is important.

C．He can’t accept adversity.                D．Working alone is amazing.

Each country has many kind people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high school and university students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospital or old people’s homes. They read books for the people or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of the sick people. They clean up their houses or do the shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers there is an organization called “Big Brothers”. University students and other people take these boys to play baseball games and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Each city has a lot of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or take part in other activities. Some of these clubs show movies or have short trips to the mountains, the beaches or the museums. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and university students as volunteers because they can understand the problems of these boys and girls more easily.

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

下面文章中有5处（第71—75题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题。

Have you ever rubbed(擦) your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction(摩擦). Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!

●________1.__________

Soap        Water         Your hands

●________2._________

(1). Make sure your hands are dry.

(2). Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.

(3). Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery(滑的).

(4). Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.

(5). Please write down what has happened.

●________3.__________

Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.

●________4._________

(1). Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.

(2). Ancient people made fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.

●_______5.________

Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not too hot, touch the tires(轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
