We can all contribute to a greener world．Just follow these ten golden rules:
●Stop getting junk mail．Billions of junk mail can be sent every year．Half of it is never opened．Get-your name off mailing lists．If 100,000 people stopped getting junk mail today, it would save 150,000 trees a year．
●Stop reading newspapers．All over the world, millions of newspapers are thrown away every day, 44 million newspapers in the USA alone —that's half a million trees a week．Either recycle your newspapers or read the hews online．
●Buy clothes made from organic materials．Conventional cotton farming seriously pollutes the environment, most of which uses ch
emical pesticides （农药） and fertilizers． Organic is better!
●Switch to solar energy．In one day, the sun will provide enough energy to power the planet．Why aren't we using it?
●If you have to drive, share the ride．Most cars in the USA have only one occupant．Also, 25 percent of car rides are less than 1．5 kilometres．Get out and walk!
●Unplug your PC, TV and VCR．Simply turning them off isn't enough．Sets left on standby are still using 25 percent of their power．
●Hold on to your balloons．Helium-filled balloons which fly away usually end up in a lake or river, where they can choke aquatic (水生的) creatures．Sav
e your balloons and use them again．Or better still, don't use them at all．
●Feed the birds．Wild birds need food, especially in v/inter when other sources can be scarce．The greater the range of foodstuffs you put out for them, the more types of birds you will attract．
●Plant a garden at your school．Learn the connection between the land and the table．Plant vegetables to eat, flowers to admire and trees to improve the air．

as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in V
formation, the whole flock at least 71 per cent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
Individuals who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more
quickly and easily because they are travelling on the pushing force of one another.
When a god se falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone,
and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we
have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the same
way we are.
When the head goose gets tired, it moves back in the formation and another goose flies point. It is
sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. What messages do
we give when we honk from behind?
Finally -and this is important -when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of
formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection.
They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then do they launch out on
their own, or with another formation, to catch up with their group.
If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.
B. see the direction ahead clearly
C. fly at a higher speed and reach a further place
D. greatly reduce the risk of being hit by gunshots
B. To move.
C. To cry.
D. To fight.
B. We should work together with those who share our dream.
C. We should take our share of responsibility in a huge task.
D. We should encourage those falling behind to keep on trying.
B. To announce some new findings about geese.
C. To prove the similarities between humans and geese.
D. To persuade us to find more about life of geese.
The modern mobile phone is a more complex version of the two way radio, which was a very limited means of communication. As soon as the users moved out of range of each other’s broadcast area, the signal was lost. In the 1940s, researchers began experimenting with the idea of using a number of radio masts (天线塔) standing around the countryside to pick up signals from two-way radios.
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modern mobile handset. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modern cities began to feature sharpsuited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became synonymous (等于) with the “yuppie”, the new breed of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us swore that we would never, ever own a mobile phone.
But in the mid-90s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 80s had evolved into smooth little objects that fitted nicely into pockets and bags. Cities suddenly had a new, postmodern birdsong.
Alexander Graham Bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: “That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.”
60．Modern mobile phone technology is based on .
A．the “yuppie” B．the Internet
C．the two way radio D．global positioning system
61．More people bought mobile phones in the 1990s because .
A．they were bad at timekeeping
B．they wanted to take photographs
C．mobile phones became a lot cheaper
D．traditional phones didn’t work anymore
62．The underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A．broken B．changed C．cut D．taken
63．What does the text message “Gr 8! Will call U 2nite.” mean?
A．Great ! I’ll call you tonight.
B．Great! I’ll be two minutes late.
C．Great! Please call William tonight.
D．Great! Please call me sometime tonight.
