The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.
Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow.
1.The main purpose of the passage is to tell people _______.
A. the disadvantages of working in an office
B. the waste produced in an office
C. to save resources when working in an office
D. how to save water in a restroom
2.From the passage we can infer that in the office ________.
A. using computers is a waste of resource
B. many people don’t turn off the computers after using them
C. computers are to make electricity
D. a computer is not a must for working
3.It is suggested that we use both sides of the paper at the copier because _______.
A. we are short of paper B. the printing is not important
C. we should save paper D. we have to pay for the paper
4.The underlined word mugs is most likely to be _______.
A. a machine that makes coffee

C. a paper product for tea
D. something that can only be found in an office

Dearest darling girl,
Today is the beginning of the next stage in your life. We head off to your new home at Stanford. Where do I start in telling you how proud I feel to be called Mummy by you? We've laughed at how you burst into this world with a scowl on your face, how determined you have always been right from feeding yourself to making big decisions for your life. There were days during your illness that I wasn't sure you had the will to make it. Telling you that you needed to want to get better was the hardest and yet the greatest day. From that day you took responsibility and decided you wanted to beat anorexia（厭食癥）．
I don't think I've ever felt so proud of you as when you came home to say that you wanted to go to West Africa between school and university. You chose to go alone, and to raise the money yourself. You have such strength of character and determination. It is at times hard to believe that you are only 18. You experienced something in that month that few dare experience in a lifetime.
So, Viv, here are my words of wisdom to you as you start your next big adventure. The world is a beautiful place but often a few things can make it seem difficult. God's temple is made of love. It's man's temple that is built of stones. Open your heart to goodness and never ever let negative people or thoughts take hold of you. As Minor Myers put it, "Go into the world and do we’ll. But more importantly, go into the world and do good:'
It is true that with every passing day, I will grow older and weaker. A day may come when I will become forgetful. But even then, you with your bright smile, will light up my heart.
Your Alo
1.What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A. She was once a trouble maker. B. She's a freshman in Stanford.

A. To do what others dare not. B. To show her determination.

A. To be a positive and kind person. B. To avoid the negative part of life.
C. To be cautious of cold-hearted people. D. To explore the beauty of the world.
4.How did the author feel when writing the letter?

Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.
1. Use active instead of passive voice.
In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. The passive voice usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 1. It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers.
2. 2.
Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong doesn't mean obscure, or more complicated. Don't say "utilize" when you could say "use." 3.
3. Cut the chaff.
4. You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for using multi-syllable words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 5. If you notice that your writing is filled with "-ly" words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus.
A. Use strong words.
B. Show, don't tell.
C. Good writing is simple, clear and direct.
D. The main exception to this is science writing.
E. Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.
F. "He sprinted" is not necessarily better than "he ran."
G. Don't write "screamed fearfully" -- "scream" already suggests fear.
