One night, I was on my home for my Christmas holiday when my car broke down. It was complete dead, and I was a few miles away from my home in that cold, wet night. I decided to walk around a little after accepting that I’d have to spend the night in the car. Maybe I can find a telephone. Actually, I didn’t have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light shone from the sitting room. I knocked the door and was delighting when a pleasant old man opened the door and listened to my story carefully. He said he had no telephone and that it wasn’t any within walking distance, but the old man who offered to go to repair my car.

Well, today is the day. Microsoft is officially pulling the life support plug on Windows XP. And while the majority of PC user have 【1】 (obvious) moved on to newer operating systems(OS）, some people stuck 【2】 Windows XP over the last 12 years. As is reported by The Washington Post, 【3】 enormous number of government machines are still running the old OS, 【4】 could probably create a security problem.

Clearly, over 13 percent of PCs in the United States are still running Windows Xp, 【5】 Microsoft announced the end for support over two years ago. As many as 10 percent of US government computers, thousands of PCs holding sensitive information 【6】(include), will now be without 【7】 (far) security updates.

Yesterday, the Guardian reported the UK government has paid Microsoft 5.5 million pounds for a one-year 【8】 (extend) of support. And if you think the problem is only at the desktop and notebook level, you can be quite wrong; don’t forget as many as 60 percent of ATM machines in the US 【9】 (be) still running XP.

So, what’s the solution? These business, government agencies and consumers will have to upgrade. And whether they choose Windows 7 【10】 Windows 8, either is probably better than a security breach(漏洞）.

How to Help Save the Environment

Cleaning up the existing damage to our environment and preventing further destruction is a huge job. It can seem that there is no way one person, especially a young person like you, can make a difference. 【1】 , starting with changing some simple everyday habits and working with others to spread the importance of protecting the environment. Here are a few suggestions.

Avoid unnecessary driving (or being driven). Every teenager looks forward to a driver’s license and a first car, but automobiles are one of the primary causes of air pollution. If it’s too far to pedal a bike, take a bus or share your car ride with someone else. 【2】 , but it undoubtedly benefits the environment more.

Unplug electrical equipment when possible. Even when turned off, some appliances may still use power. 【3】 . So it is best to unplug anything that you do not expect to use in the next 36 hours (or more).

Carry a bag and a reusable water bottle. 【4】 . On the contrary, plastic bags and disposable bottles may bring convenience to you, but the environmental damage caused by them is almost permanent. Every plastic bottle not made and plastic bag not used helps a little bit.

Raise awareness. Talk to family and friends about simple changes they can make, and why they should do so to help protect the environment. 【5】 . It’s acceptable to just show them that you have thought a lot about the subject, are passionate about making a difference, and really could use their support.

A. But you can make your contribution

B. This saves you money with fewer trips to the gas station

C. It might not seem as cool as driving yourself

D. They may be the secret sources of the large number on your electric bill

E. This can help start a dialogue in your community about a particular environmental issue

F. You don’t have to give lectures or force them to accept your opinions

G. They don’t take up much space but can prevent a lot of waste

【題目】--- Did you try to _______the manager to come to attend the lecture?

【題目】Fascinated with images from the Mars Rover? It turns out you don’t have to go to space. The following spots may look like they are on another planet, but they are right here on earth.

* Socotra Island, Indian Ocean

The largest of the four-island Socotra Archipelago, the island has about 250 species of plants that are not found anywhere else in the world. This includes the canopy-topped dragon’s blood tree, which has blood-red resin(樹脂）that runs down if the trunk is cut deep. It can grow to 10 feet with a bulbous(球根的）trunk that swells with water absorbed in case of dry weather.

See it for yourself: There are regular flights from the Yemen capital of Sanaa on(Felix Airways) ($ 180 each way)

* Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona

This wilderness in Northern Arizona/southern Utah is home to some of the most striking landscapes in the American Southwest. The nearly 300,000-acre site is known for its abundance of colorful shale（頁巖）and Navajo sandstone that has been eroded(侵蝕）by the elements to create cliffs that rise as high as 3,000 feet. In the northwest of the park is the Coyote Buttes, where you’ll find The Wave, a wall of red sandstone that twists and turns in a way that just doesn’t look natural ---but is.

See it for yourself: Permits are required to hike in Vermilion Cliffs. Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch permits are available at on-site pay stations or in advance ($5 per person).

【題目】The world consumes hundreds of billions of single-use plastic bags each year. They are difficult to recycle, wasteful and damage the nature. Environmental activists want to ban plastic bags or---as many communities have done ---charge a fee for them. But the plastic bag industry defends their use, saying people reuse plastic bags, and industry officials argue recycling is a matter of personal responsibility and should not be forced.

City officials say New Yorkers use 5.2 billion plastic bags each year. They are offered free with nearly every supermarket, or convenience store purchase. Many people like them, even if they sometimes feel guilty about using them. But what happens to those bags after they’ve been used in a huge environmental problem. They are found on beaches. They are caught in trees. They are swallowed by marine life.

Plastic bags are made of petroleum products and natural gas, and do not biodegrade (分解). And they are difficult to recycle. So New York City spends nearly $ 10 million dollars a year to send 100---thousand tons of plastic bags to landfills out of state.

In Washington, D.C., a five percent charge on all single-use bags led to about a 60 percent reduction and in Los Angeles County in California , a 10 cent charge on single-use bags led to a 95 percent reduction. With a 10 cent charge on bags, customers are much more likely to stop and think about whether they need a bag or not. And that’s really all that these laws are doing.

【1】Who object to the limit of using plastic bags?

A. Plastic bag makers. B. Government officials.

C. Stores and supermarkets. D. Most of the consumers.

【2】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _____.

A. the difficulty about dealing with plastic bags

B. the popularity of plastic bags in New York

C. the great convenience brought by using plastic bags

D. the usage and problems of plastic bags in New York

【3】What measure does the writer introduce to reduce the use of plastic bags?

A. Reducing the production of plastic bags.

B. Charging for the use of plastic bags.

C. Offering paper bags instead of plastic bags.

D. Making people realize the harm of plastic bags.
