Unlike many of my classmates, my idol（偶像）is not a film star or a famous writer. Neither is he a world leader, nor an important person from 17 . My idol is my dad.
Most people believe that a man should go out and work. However, when I was a baby, I was very ill and needed attention all the time. Since my mother and father both worked, and my grandparents lived very 18 , this was a big problem. My dad knew how much my mum loved her job, so he stopped working to stay at home and look after me.
Many men in this situation would want their wives to stay with the child, but my dad always thinks about others before himself. My dad 19 took a job and worked at night. He chose the job so that he would only be out of the house when I was sleeping.
Ever since then, my dad has helped and supported me in everything I do. The most important thing he taught me was never to 20 . I remember when I was learning to ride a bike. My dad would run behind me for hours. He held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so 21 because I knew he was near. I did not 22 when he stopped holding me. Soon, I was riding by myself.
My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. My dad is my idol because he has shown me that the most important things in life are family and love.

Saving water is an important part of going green. Water becomes less and polluted more, 23 conservation（保护）becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less waste water will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that 24 water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said before, cutting down on water usage is one of the most 25 things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting（收获）water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small 26 that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl 27 under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully（完全地）turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower—all those little drips can 28 to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing（减少）your usage of water is reducing your dependence on（依赖）the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can 29 a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way.

五、阅读理解
Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）
In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name ‘El Nino’, meaning ‘the baby’. It is called ‘the baby’ because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects（影响）the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains（包含）a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire（整个）world’s weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods.
There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world’s weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite（卫星）pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.

A．a storm that hits every two years B．a huge area of warm water
C．a wind from the south D．some cold water in the Pacific Ocean
31．It happens ________.
A．every year B．every month

32．El Nino ________.
A．makes the weather better B．affects the weather

A．everybody B．just farmers
C．only fishermen D．only students
35．We can help the world’s weather by ________.
A．finding out more about El Nino B．being careful during the floods
C．driving cars D．stopping the greenhouse effect
