It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1.  Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
2.  Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3.  Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（壓平）and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
4.  Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐爛的）apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5.  Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society（社會）. But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
小題1:_______ can be recycled.
A．Only hard thingsB．Many thingsC．Few soft thingsD．All things
小題2:The “recover” rule mainly requires us _______.
A．to throw waste things awayB．to cover waste things with earth
C．to get back the useful partsD．to throw the whole things away
小題3:We can infer（推斷） that the writer of this passage may live in _______.
A．ChinaB．JapanC．AustraliaD．America
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．We will have no resources（資源） of nature unless we can do with the waste.
B．Recycling is the best way to save resources.
C．If we waste less, we can save more resources of nature.
D．More things are wasted in developed countries than in developing ones.

The rules（規(guī)則，常規(guī)） in American schools
Greetings
You needn’t greet your teachers when you come into a very big class. If you are late for class, you may go into the classroom quietly. But you should say sorry to the teacher after class.
Answering questions
Don’t talk when somebody else is speaking. If you have something to say, you have to wait. When someone is speaking, you shouldn’t interrupt him or her. If you want to answer the teacher’s questions, you may stand up and speak loudly. It’s impolite to keep quiet when your teacher asks you questions. If you don’t know the answers, you can say “I’m sorry”.
Other interesting rules
Some American schools don’t allow students to wear caps, sunglasses or too large trousers. And they can’t bring any bananas to school. The school bags for the students are usually sheer （透明的）, so teachers can find what’s in it easily.

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation.
In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people great each and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
小題1:Small talk ___.
A．is a kind of conversation with short words
B．is a greeting when people meet each other
C．is to let people disagree about something
D．is something we talk about to start a conversation

A．we should learn about the transport system of the country
B．we should only master the grammar and vocabulary

小題4:When we say “Great game, isn’t it?” we in fact___.
A．a(chǎn)sk a questionB．have a conversation

A．different language has different grammar
B．small talk is an important part in a language
