Man has a big brain(腦). He can think, learn and speak. Scientists always say that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that dogs, rats, birds can learn too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy. Apes(類人猿) can understand some things more quickly than humans. One or two of them can learn a few words. But they cannot join words to make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language(語言). They can never think about the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man can build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animals learn to speak. How do children learn it? Scientists do not really know. What happens inside our body when we speak? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you try to make your dream real?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑戰(zhàn)). You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible(不可能) for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing(實(shí)現(xiàn)) your dream.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart(心臟). Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of(由...組成) many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

 As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

1.The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from ______.

A.yourself B.your friends C.your school D.your parents

Pollution means adding dirty or harmful things to land, air, water and so on. As a result, they are no longer pleasant or safe to use. Pollution is bad for animals and plants, and it even makes people's health in danger. In our daily life, we can see different kinds of pollution in many places. There are three main forms of pollution: land pollution, air pollution and water pollution.

Land pollution is caused by solid waste, such as cans, bottles and some plastic things which aren't broken down quickly. It makes the environment look very bad. However, air pollution is more serious than land pollution. It is much worse in cities and towns because of the fumes(廢氣)from traffic and the waste from human activities. When people drive their cars, fumes which are most made up of CO2, NO2 and SO2 are given off. After the gases get into the air, they may mix with clouds. Then they will become some harmful chemicals falling on the ground with rain. It is one of the reasons for soil erosion(土壤侵蝕)which is one example of water pollution.

Various kinds of pollution will cause many health problems. People have realized they must change this serious situation. There are many ways to control pollution. To develop alternative energy(替代能源)is very popular in many countries. China, for example, has made up its mind to be a leader in this field. It is trying hard to make full use of energy from the sun and wind. It has paid plenty of money to make electric cars and trains instead of traditional traffic. We should also take action to make our environment cleaner every day. Take cloth bags while going shopping and drive cars less. We have only one earth. We must take small steps now to help protect our environment for the future wherever we are.

1.The underlined word “solid” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A.氣體 B.液體

C.固體 D.土壤

2.When people live in a polluted area, ________.

A.they will control the use of alternative energy

A.to introduce the kinds of pollution and the problems it causes

B.to introduce the kinds of pollution and the ways to control it

C.to introduce the harmful chemicals and soil erosion

D.to introduce the alternative energy and the way to use it
