2、June 5^th is World Environment Day．This makes us pay more attention to our environment and the need to protect it．When Wang Boxuan，a Beijing high schoolboy，used up his exercise books，he does not throw them away．Each one is stored at his school with hundreds of exercise books given by other  students． Then they are sold to a Beijing paper making factory．

  The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school．At the same time，83 the money made from the sales goes towards schools in Inner Mongolia for planting trees and grass. 84 This place is one of the sources of the sandsorms that often attack Beijing during the springtime.

  Wang’s school is one of the schools in the capital that take part in the “Green

Promise” environmental protection activity．So far, nearly 210,000 students have taken part in the activity， collecting more than 87 tons of waste paper．

    With the Olympic Gaines coming to Beijing in 2008，students are eager to help make the capital a more pleasant place，“There are some environmental problems in the city．Such as sandstorms”said Wang．“We should do our duty and encourage others to do so as well．”

    Vice—premier(副總理)Zeng Peiyuan has written a letter to the teachers and students to encourage them to go on supporting environmental protection．

You and your parents can stop worrying- Edison, Pasteur, Darwin and many others were far from being "bright boys " when they were under twenty. Some of them, in the eyes of their teachers, were day- dreamers or slow pupils. So, young men or women, if you have the same experience, don' t fed disappointed.

It is always the case that parents prefer giving mere inspiring examples to encourage their children. If you take piano lessons and are not practicing hard, your parents might justly complain and show you the famous picture of little Mozart in his night- shirt, playing the piano at midnight. But the fact is that he didn’t appear to have much talent(才干)for music when he was quite young. It was not until 22 that Mozart suddenly became fired with a great liking(愛好)for music.

In the sciences, there have been thousands of people who showed great interest in certain subjects from their earliest years, and hundreds who had no idea of what they would do in the future. The well-known French chemist Pasteur displeased his parents because Louris did nothing but drew pictures and went fishing. Pasteur was twenty years old before he showed any interest in science. You have the Wright brothers, who showed great talent in engineering when they were quite young. And you have Thomas Edi-son, whose teacher tried to get him out of the class because his brain was often confused. You have the Nobel Prize Physicist Enrico Fermi, who at 17, had read enough mathematics for a doctor's degree. But there is also Charles Darwin, who hated to go to school when he was young. His farther was once so angry and shouted, "You care for nothing but shooting dogs and rat - catching. You will put your parents to shame."

So who knows what might happen in the future? It is, of course, better for the young people to know what they want to do in life . But they needn’t despair if they don ' t . There is still plenty of time and it’s never too later for success.

1. Before the age of 20, Pasture, Darwin and Edison__________.

D. became greatly interested in music

4. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Most successful adults are failures before the age of 22.

B. Early schooling is not important for later success.

C. People who show no signs of great talent when they are young might turn out to be greatly successful as adults.

D. People who show signs of great success when they are young might turn out to be failures as adults.

5. Young people should not despair (喪失信心) if they are not successful because________.

     B. they have more years to live than adults

     C. they still have a lot of time to work for it

     Who's building the new China? It's not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. It's someone else. It's the people who have left their homes to follow their dreams, the dream of a better life.

     We see them every day, on every street comer, on every construction site in cities. They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas, and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are China's migrant workers(民工).Young and old, these men and women are building the new China from the ground up.

      More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money for their family. And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination (歧視) from the people in cities.

      When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. You can see them playing cards along the streets. Many are living far away from those whom they love. I can sometimes feel their pain, knowing exactly what it feels like to live so far away from home in a city where I walk a different walk and talk a different talk.

     Yes, they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits(習(xí)慣), but they work hard to make money. The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments(政府)refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children.

     If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to be changed. The first is discrimination need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China. They may not make as much money as some people in cities, they may not have everything we have, but they are good honest people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to China' s economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)) development and have become an important force(力量) for the change of Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should lend our hands and help them.

24、One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking a  1   how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very s  2   , gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, and I thought “P  3   this is not the right thing to talk about. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”

“Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without s  4   it. The Great Wall is wonderful.” “Yes, it is one of the wonders in the w  5   . And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him m  6   about it, he stopped me again “You don’t say!”

I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”

“Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, gently surprised.

“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?” I asked again.

Hearing this, the foreigner laughed l  7   . He began to e  8   , “ ‘You don’t say!’ means ‘Really!’. Perhaps you know l  9   about English idioms（慣用語）.”

Wow! How f  10   I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
