Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Turning rubbish into new earth
My father is a quiet man. He has his thoughts, but he usually keeps them to himself. There is one thing that really gets him excited. Just say the word “rubbish” to him! Or I should say, he is keen on solving the rubbish problem!
“We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Rubbish is everybody’s problem.” My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (核) when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area!
However, there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish. For example, if we carefully deal with food waste, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料). This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well.
“I bought a compost bin today.” Dad said at dinner one night. “From now on, instead of throwing away all our food waste, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.”
It took a while to get used to it, but soon, we were taking our food waste to the compost bin. In three months, we found it full of rich compost material!

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：
Pu Cuifen, a villager from Yunnan Province, experienced that an elephant visited his house two years ago. The elephants were harmful to no one, but had com and beans on the farm. The villagers lost nearly 50,000yuan. Earlier than that, villagers would drive away the elephants to protect their crops, which made the animals angry and led to human injuries or deaths.
Now the government has helped to pay the money for the crops damaged (损害) by elephants. Such things will help protect the interests of farmers and elephants. The government has also created “dining halls” for the wild elephants to grow their favorite food, such as elephant grass and bamboo. Villagers now simply leave the elephants alone.
Yunnan Province is not the only example of protecting wild animals. In Tibet, Migmar used to be a hunter, but now has become a rescuer at the wildlife rescue station of Qomolangma. He and his friends take turns to go around to check there’s no trouble or danger for wild animals every day. The wildlife rescue station was set up in 2019. From then on, they have saved 17 wild animals. During this period, they learned to tie up the animals and clean their wounds, and set them free into the wild when they got well again. “Animals don’t talk, but I can feel their trust. We should protect them,” said Migmar.
Examples of taking care of wild animals appear more around us. From damage to protection, people see more changing on human-wildlife relations. Even the simplest change and action can make a change to the world.
7．The elephants were harmless to people in Pu’s village, weren’t they
8．What happened when the villagers drove away the elephants
9．Why did the government create “dining halls” for the wild elephants

When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult to me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eye. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many ” I told him the truth.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habit. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter ”
“I didn’t think about that.” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said, “But a good person should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.”
I understood. After supper, I did the right thing.

Instead of playing with toys, Yang loved making models himself when he was little.
His parents bought him model cars and airplanes, but he preferred using plastic bottles to make his own.
When he started middle school, Yang began putting even more effort into making model air-planes. Once, he locked himself up in his room to build a 5-meter-long wooden hang glider. He covered the frame with his bed sheet as he couldn’t afford the proper material for the wings. Yang wanted to try flying the glider by jumping off a hill, but his father found out about his plan and thought it was too dangerous. So his father destroyed the plane.
But this didn’t stop Yang from building model airplanes.
When he entered university, the mechanic and electronic know-how he learned in class helped him build more sophisticated models. He founded a model airplane club and became the best airplane builder on campus.
His parents give him 1, 000 yuan every month, of which he spend more than 700 on model airplanes.
He didn’t know his expensive hobby could actually help him make money until 2011, when he met his high school classmate Tang Yinlong who told Yang that aerial photography is a profitable business.
“One aerial photo can be worth 5, 000 yuan, ” Tang says. With Tang’s business knowledge and Yang’s mechanical expertise, the two founded an aerial photography company.
Yang spent another year making preparations. “For the first two months, I practiced my control skills. Then I spent 10 months improving the photography skills to get good pictures, ” he said.
Although he had hypoglycemia because of overwork, Yang never complained. “If this business idea succeeds, it could support my hobby. When I thought about that, I felt excited, ” he said.

John Wesley Powell
Every time I go whitewater rafting, I think of an explorer named John Wesley Powell who was an amazing figure in the American West. Powell was fearless and thought nothing of hopping in a boat and rowing down an unknown river. Along the way, he studied geology, plants, and wildlife, teaching himself much about the natural world.
In 1860, Powell joined the army in the Civil War. He was injured and lost his right arm. When the wound was cured, he went back into battle! In 1865, he retired as a major (上校).
Powell took a teaching position as professor of geology even though he had never gone to college himself. During this time, he began to develop a daring plan. He wanted to explore the Grand Canyon by rafting the Colorado River. No one had done such a thing before.
In May of 1869, Powell set out with ten men on the Green River in Wyoming for a ten-month trip. Everyone who saw them leave thought they would be done for.
No wonder! They were facing the unknown with every bend of the river. No one knew what rapids (急流) lay ahead or how dangerous they’d be. But Powell refused to give up. He had courage and carefulness. He did what he set out to do. He got a river’s-eye view of one of the most unbelievable natural formations (构造) on Earth. And he lived to tell the tale.

Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a huge sound. The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise came from and found that part of the hillside above the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping.
As soon as the day broke, rescue workers began digging for people alive. They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks. For two days, rescue workers never stopped digging. On Thursday evening they found the first body. The next day they found two more. They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5: 37 a. m. on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement.
Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent. Everyone stopped talking, and no one moved. A fireman lay down over to a hole in a large piece of concrete (混凝土) and shouted down, “Can anyone hear me ” “I can hear you,” came the reply.
Worried that their digging could start more rocks falling down the mountain, rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man. By 10 o’clock, a small hole had been made. At 10: 10 a. m. , rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole, one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink. Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man.
For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him. They found out that his name was Stuart Diver. By the time he was found, he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued.
Finally, at 5: 17 p. m. on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy. In thousands of homes, people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their television.

Plants: more than we thought
Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways.
Protecting (保护) themselves
One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms.
Plant communication
Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe.
Plant memory
Do plants have memory One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter.
Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do.
45．What can tomato plants do when worms eat them
46．What do plants mainly use to talk to each other
47．Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter
48．What’s the main idea of the passage
49．How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us
Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Sophia’s Big Day
It was Sophia Taylor’s big day. As a reporter for her school newspaper, she would interview Ramon Fuller today, the star player for the Green-port football team.
To Sophia, this meant a lot. She planned to be a professional football player, just like Ramon. Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. “Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,” he often said seriously.
At school, Sophia went over the questions again and again before the big hour came. When she finally saw Fuller, Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady (稳重的) in a suit. For some reason, he reminded Sophia of her brother.
Sophia began to ask Fuller how he got started in sports.
“My talent showed early,” Fuller continued to tell Sophia how he won competitions and became famous. “But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school, That was when I met my hero.”
“Who was that ” Sophia was interested.
“Dr. Philip Taylor,” Fuller smiled.
“My dad ” Sophia shouted, “Why was he your hero ”
Fuller told Sophia how her father encouraged him to do his best in football after treating his knee. But with four operations on the knee, he couldn’t imagine playing football for long. Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities.
“That’s why I started studying medicine in the university,” Fuller continued. “When I retire from football, I want to be a doctor like your father.”
“But you are rich enough,” Sophia felt curious. “You don’t have to work.”
“It’s not about money,” Fuller said. “I want to achieve more with my life. Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.”
The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day.
50．What was Sophia Taylor’s job for school newspaper
51．Why did Sophia’s father only allow her to train after she finished her homework
52．How did Fuller look when Sophia interviewed him, exciting or steady
53．What happened to Fuller in his last year of high school
54．How did Dr. Philip Taylor influence Ramon Fuller’s football career

When I was ten years old, Mother found a dog by the roadside that had been hit by a car. She immediately took him to a vet as one of his back legs was badly hurt. His leg took some time to get better. Since Mother could not find the dog’s owner, we kept him and named him Chip. Chip and Mother were always together. He was Mother’s shadow and followed her everywhere. Whenever she left the house, he would whine sadly.
One day, on our way to my grandparents’ house for dinner. Mother stopped at a minimart. “Mary, let’s buy some fruits for Grandma and Grandpa and a snack for Chip.” Mother told me as she got out of the car. I went along to take the chance to buy an ice cream for myself. Soon, we were on the road again.
Half an hour passed when mother asked suddenly, “Where is Chip ” Chip was a quiet dog, so nobody realized that he was not in the backseat. None of us remembered seeing him out of the car at the minimart.
It was dark by then and raining very heavily. Worried sick, Mother decided to drive back to the minimart. When she stopped in front of the store, she was shocked. There sat Chip, soaking wet, with water dripping off his long ears. Mother rushed out of the car and quickly flew towards our pet.
“________!” the minimart owner exclaimed when she saw us hugging and patting chip. “He must have been waiting for you to return and has not moved from this spot even though it was raining.”
That night, Mother gave Chip as many snacks as he could eat as a praise. “I’m so glad that you are safe and sound!” she said cheerfully.

Our tour was excellent. The van was very comfortable and the lunch was very good. However, the services for pick up and drop off were poor. We got a message that we would be picked by taxi at 6:15 a.m., but the driver came 10 minutes later. After lunch, our driver told us she could drop anyone off at different locations in Paris upon our return if we had dinner plans. Instead of heading to our location, she drove to the agency. We were finally at our hotel at 7:45, hot and tired. I paid almost 500 euros for 2 passengers and I had to leave my hotel earlier and return almost 2 hours! We were not treated fairly. This was not our experience with prior (先前的) tours with your agency.

“Have you finished your lesson, George ” said Mr. Prentice to his son, who had laid aside his book and was busy making a large paper kite.
“No, Father,” replied George.
“Why not, my son ”
“Because it is so difficult. I’m not sure whether I shall learn it. I can’t remember it after I learn it. My memory is so bad.”
“If I were to promise you a holiday on the thirtieth of the month after next, do you think you would forget the date ”

Many years ago, one of the dullest boys went up to repeat his lesson one morning. As usual, he did not know it. “Go to your seat!” said the teacher angrily. The poor boy went back to his seat, and bent his eyes again upon his lesson.
“It is of no use. I cannot learn,” he said in a whisper to a friend who sat near him.
“You must try hard,” replied the kind-hearted boy.
“I have tried, but it is of no use. I may just as well give up at once.”
“Try again, Henry!” whispered his friend in an encouraging tone.
These two little words gave him great encouragement.

Children all around the world are familiar with fairy tales such as The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Pea and The Emperor’s New Clothes. The characters from his stories made us laugh and cry throughout our childhood. They gave us a beautiful memory.
Andersen was born in the slums (贫民区) of Odense, Denmark, on April 2, 1805. His early life was not easy. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwomen. He received little early education. As a child he was very emotional and was laughed at being feminine (女性化的) and tall.
Things got even worse when his father died in 1816 and Andersen had to go out to work, first in a tailor’s shop and then at a tobacco (烟草) factory. At the age of 14 Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. He struggled for three years until he had to leave the theatre when his voice broke in 1822.
Andersen went to a grammar school after he left the theatre. Having done well he was admitted to Copenhagen University in 1828. He began to publish his fairy tales in 1835.
Although Andersen lived a hard life, he tried to make people laugh in all his stories. He wrote because he didn’t want children to have a sad childhood as he did. “Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s (天鹅) egg,” he once said.
His stories brought Andersen world fame (名声), but he remained a lonely man. He loved three women in his life, but none of them loved him back and he never married. His friends were not close to him, they only paid for his stories. “Only living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” he said.
Andersen died on August 4, 1875. His home in Odense is now a museum and thousands of people visit it every year.

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.

You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search (搜查) our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed. You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever. But it was the greatest shame (耻辱) of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly.
“Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson ” The old man answered. “Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch. I was looking for it in everyone’s pocket.

One of the most surprising trees in the world is known as the baobab. This kind of tree mainly grows in South Africa and Australia.
Sometimes, it is hard to tell what the name of a tree is because they look like each other. But this is not a problem with the baobab. Its appearance is quite different, so people can’t mistake it for another tree. The baobab is very wide, people often enjoy the shade under it. One Australian baobab was so large that people were able to turn part of the tree into a small room. The tree itself was so strong and wide that it could hold a large group of people. The strongest tree in the world is over 1,835 years old now.
People also call it the “giving tree”. The tree’s fruits are very delicious and a tasty treat in many African countries. The fruits are also very healthy and people make porridge and soft drinks from the fruits. Since the tree grows in dry environments, it has to store water. The tree soaks (浸泡) in water when it is wet. During dry seasons, the baobab tree can use the stored water. Some baobabs can store thousands of gallons (加仑) of water and people can get the water from the trees when they need it.
Sadly, in recent years, the baobab trees are dying because of climate change. Scientists are trying hard to take action to save them.

Surviving the Fire
It was a cold, dry February afternoon in 2017. I was in my house with my children. Suddenly, a fire broke out in my autistic (患自闭症的) son’s room. In a few minutes, the fire spread across the living room and then the whole house.
My children and I all escaped the fire without physical injury. However, we lost all of our possessions, except for the clothes we were wearing. We didn't even have shoes on. I watched the fire go up through the roof. We lost our home. We had nowhere to live.
Fortunately, we had insurance (保险). But until we could receive some money, we had to live with friends and family and make do with what other people gave us.
The main impact (影响) was on the children. My autistic son really had problems dealing with any changes. He couldn’t even accept the fact of having to wear a new pair of shoes. Yet we had to tell him that he would be living in a whole new house and that all of his clothes and toys were gone. My youngest daughter had asthma (哮喘). Thankfully, the headteacher of her school came and brought her the medicine she kept at school.
Thinking about what could have happened, I couldn’t help but feel frightened. I was just thankful that my kids were all alive. Everyone was so nice. People went out of their way to help, not just on the day the fire broke out, but also in the weeks afterwards. Their kindness is the thing that has really stuck in my mind.
