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

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

A.they will control the use of alternative energy

During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing situations. Allow me to share some with you.

But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.

I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and rent a flat. What’s more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday.

The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher’s lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.

The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met!”

I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley.

1.The writer comes from ______.

A.Japan B.China C.England D.France

2.The writer made a huge mistake because ______.

A.he didn’t check the weather before coming

B.the weather in California was changeable

C.he brought a lot of clothes with him

D.he didn’t take a mobile phone

3.When the writer’s classmate said “I think we already met!”, he meant .

A.they were old friends

B.Americans needn’t shake hands when they meet again

C.he was not used to shaking hands with others

D.the writer might forget about their last meeting

4.We can learn that ________ according to the passage.

A.California was sunny all year around

B.students in America are never late for class

C.life in Berkeley is enjoyable for the writer

D.people in California are not so friendly

5.According to the passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______.

A.his experience at UC, Berkeley B.the relationship between classmates

C.his advice on studying abroad D.the difference in attending a class

When Vivienne Harr was 8 years old, she saw a photo she would never forget.It was a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs.These children were the same age as Vivienne.But they did not have the same freedom and opportunities(自由和機(jī)會(huì))that she had.

In some parts of the world, children have to work hard long days and they can't go to school. Vivienne wanted to change this.“ I want all kids to be able to go to school and play, ” said Vivienne. “I want them to be happy.”

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
