21、   Li Ruyan, 13 years old, did something special last summer with his classmates in Shanghai. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking (乱穿马路). As part of the school project, Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community (社区) work. After the half day of exhausting work, Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.

“I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility (责任感),” he said.

Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service before graduation. In America, those who have finished 1,400 hours of community work can be awarded nearly $5,000 (33,000 yuan).

Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grades.

Qian Lijun, 16, and her classmates in Suzhou, Jiangsu went to a local elder care home this winter. They put Spring Festival couplets (对联) on the walls and cheered up the people living there.

Li Xiaotian, 15, in Anshan said he used to clear flyers (小广告) from telephone poles (电线杆) with his classmates. They brought tools, towels and buckets and worked for three hours under the summer sun. “It was tiring, but seeing the clean poles without ugly ads, we really felt proud,” he said.

22、Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the top of Qomolangma in 1953. It was an important event in the mountain climbing history. Also, it was a turning point in the lives of Sherpa (夏尔巴) people.

Before 1953, Sherpa people led a very simple and peaceful life. Most of them worked on farms. They had very little connection with people from other parts of the world. Now things have changed, and thanks to technology, the Sherpa world is much better connected. Tourism (旅游业) is also a main force in changing the lives of Sherpas. After 1953, especially in the 1970s, the number of tourists to Nepal (尼泊尔) increased greatly. Today, tourism is the biggest source of income (收入来源) for Sherpas. Many Sherpas now have a richer life.

Back in 1953, education and health care in Sherpa villages were poor. These days, however, there are many schools and medical clinics (医疗诊所). Changes have also come to Sherpas dinner table: they eat healthier food than they used to. They can also get food from other places. Besides, they are able to get and use quality building materials (建筑材料). The new buildings are much safer than they used to be.

There are some Sherpas, however, who like the old way of living their lives. Some older Sherpas are upset that people seem to be moving away from the traditional way of life.

23、   How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.

REDUCE

Reduce means “use less.” Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary— or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products （产品）if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.

REUSE

Reuse means “use again.” Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

RECYCLE

Recycle means “change things into something else.” Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

【1】Why is it better to choose local products if possible?

A.Things from abroad do harm to our environment. B.Local products are much cheaper.

C.To choose local products means that we love our country. D.Things from abroad aren’t necessary.

【2】According to the passage, when we find our clothes are out of fashion, what should we do?

A.Throw them away.

B.If they are still suitable, keep them.

C.Clean the floor with them.

D.Give them to others and buy new ones.

【3】What is the helpful activity in our daily life?

A.To shop with plastic bags. B.To use paper cups.

C.To collect old newspapers. D.To burn fallen leaves.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A.We should learn to grow vegetables.

B.People mustn’t produce waste any more.

C.Children are too young to do anything to save energy.

D.The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world.

【5】Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?

A.Always buy new things and throw away old ones. B.Use china cups instead of paper cups.

C.Recycle something that can be recycled. D.Think first when we want to buy something.

24、   As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about wrecks (沉船) . He read a lot about the Titanic. “My lifelong dream was to find this great ship,” he once said.

On September 1, 1985, Ballard’s dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying about four kilometers under the sea. Using a video camera(摄像机), Ballard looked around the ship.

In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time, he got to see the inside of the ship and took a lot of photos with the help of underwater cameras. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too.

When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in a very bad state. Other people had taken away about 6,000 things from the ship. Some even took pieces of the ship. Some people think the Titanic should be moved to a museum, but Ballard doesn't agree. “The deep sea is the earth’s largest museum,” he says. He thinks people should make where the Titanic lies a historic site (历史遗迹).

25、   Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(资源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at l______ one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can t______ along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.

B_______ transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供给) of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) a________ a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to p_______ electricity for their homes and industries.

However, large cities and industries that are located on rivers often cause problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with c_______ and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of these natural resources.
