If you can be a volunteer and do some work for disabled people, that would be very nice.

23、A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits. Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.
Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.
Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.
Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.
Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(拒绝) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.
Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.
【1】The underlined word "vegetarian" in the first paragraph most probably means " ".
A. a person who eats healthy food
B. a person who eats meat and vegetables
C. a person who only eats meat, fish and seafood
D. a person who only eats vegetables,grains, and fruit

A. Doctors suggest switching to totally vegetarian diets.
B. It takes more water and land to produce a kilo of crops.
C. Farm animals give off methane gas and pollute the environment.
D. Carbon dioxide is more responsible for global warming than methane gas.
【4】The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refers to " ".
A. a vegetarian diet B. animal source
C. necessary vitamin D. health reason

24、 Why is that many teenagers have energy to play computer games until late at night, but can't find the energy to get out of bed in time for school? According to a new report, today's teenagers are getting so little sleep but their health is in danger.
This raises serious questions about whether being short of sleep is influencing children's ability to pay attention at school. Research has shown that losing even just half an hour's sleep at night can have deep influences on how children perform the next day.
So why aren't teenagers getting enough sleep?Some experts suggest that televisions, computers and mobile phones in children's bedrooms may cause problems.Instead of reading a book at bedtime,children are playing computer games,surfing the web,sending messages, or watching television.As these new pre-sleep activities have become more common,more traditional ones such as reading have become less,Dr.Luci Wiggs,a researcher at Oxford
University's Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry said,“One of the problems with these pre-sleep activities is that they do not have clear start and end times which leads to being short of sleep.”
Research has shown that teenagers have different sleep patterns from adults.Human bodies produce melatonin(褪黑激素)to help fall asleep. Most adults start to produce melatonin at
about 10 pm,while teenagers only begin to produce it three hours later.It is possible that this delay in melatonin production is caused by the behaviors of teenagers such as playing with phones late at night.
Problems about sleep- who needs how much and when -are usually connected to students' achievements. But modern brain researchers say it is time that more schools wake up to both biological and social facts and make a better timetable for their teenager students.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.It's very common for teenagers to have less sleep.
B.It doesn't matter if children sleep half an hour less.
C.Being short of sleep has influence on children.
D.A good night sleep at weekends helps children study well.
【2】According to Dr.Luci Wiggs,.
A.too many pre-sleep activities take up teenagers' sleeping time.
B.playing computer games before bedtimes does harm to health.
C.fewer and fewer children read books at bedtime today.
D.teenagers shouldn't watch TV before they go to sleep.
【3】What does the underlined word 'delay' mean?
A.Rushing. B.Changing. C.Putting off. D.Cutting off.
【4】What can we infer from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A.Schools need to offer more biology classes.
B.Teenagers may be kept awake by themselves.
C.Melatonin influences teenagers' achievements.
D.It's necessary for schools to start classes later.
【5】Which can be the best title for this passage?
A.Wake Up Sleeping Teenagers
B.Let Sleeping Teenagers Lie
C.Keep Away From Electronic Products
D.How to Sleep
25、Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
Today my speech topic is “Learning to get along with our parents”. These days, most of us feel it hard to get along with our parents. We often get angry with our parents and e【1】 don’t talk to them for several days.
Here are some of the reasons. F【2】, our parents only care about our marks and it makes us stressed. Second, we don’t want to communicate with them.
It’s time for us to c【3】. First, we should communicate with our parents by sharing our joys and worries with them. Then, we can help do some h【4】 to show our love for them. Finally, we should achieve a b【5】 between our schoolwork and hobbies so that they won’t feel worried about us.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
