“When it comes to Earth, there’s no time to waste,” says the Earth Day Network. And that is right. Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was 1 in 1970 to raise people’s environmental awareness. On April 22, People around the world celebrate Earth day.
Every year there is a special 2 , and this year it is “Trees for Earth”, so Earth Day will be all about planting trees. Their goal is to plant 7.8 billion trees 3 the next five years.
That’s a big goal, and you might wonder 4 trees are so important. Well for one, they can help stop climate change. Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) is a chemical in our atmosphere, but 5 make too much of it. Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Trees 6 carbon dioxide and protect the air quality. Planting new trees is important because people cut down 7 trees. Last year, there were 3 trillion(万亿) trees in the 8 , about 139 billion in China. But according to Time, the world’s total number has been 9 cut in half since human civilization (文明) began. That’s because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to replenish (补充) the ones we’ve lost. One tree can take in 48 pounds (21.8kg) of carbon dioxide per year. And it’s still one of the cheapest and 10 ways to get rid of carbon dioxide.
But don’t forget that you can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy or water you use every day. Every little thing helps!

13、 A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (笔试).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the
air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑战). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?

“
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help
me, I’ll lose my life...”

The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

14、 You may have heard about the woman who spent a year living on just a pound a day. But in Germany, a
woman named Heidemarie Schwermer has given up using money completely. Her decision probably has something to do with her experience as a penniless refugee during the Second World War(WWII).
After the war, she led an ordinary life. She worked as a teacher for many years, and then she became a psychotherapist. But her memories of what it was like to have nothing stayed with her and she decided to do something about it. She came up with the idea of an exchange network which allowed people to exchange things and services without using money. Even though the program turned into a great success, she wanted to do something crazier. So she made the decision to leave her home and close her bank account. At first her daughters thought their mother had made an awful mistake. But gradually, they have gotten used to her unusual lifestyle.
Heidemarie sleeps on peoples sofas and wears second-hand clothes people don’t need anymore, Shops give the food they can’t sell, and she knows she could always go to a soup kitchen ( a place where food is offered to the hungry for free or at a very low price).
People are interested in learning more about Heidemarie’s experiences, so she has written several books about her life. she has given away the money she made—often to complete strangers.

15、BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity(重力).
However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show, because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic(大西 洋月刊) in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow(流动) down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go-they just stick(粘) to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off of your eyes...They just kind of stay there."
Besides making your vision(视线)unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is stinging(刺痛) like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of(除去) the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe(擦) the tears away. Another choice is to just wait-"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eyes and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.
There are lots of small things-things like crying-that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.
Therefore, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."
1． From Paragraphs 2 and 3 , we can know that_______.
A． astronauts are unable to feel sad in space
B． astronauts produce fewer tears in space
C． tears produced in space flow down more slowly
D． tears produced in space don't flow downward
2． What effect do tears have on astronauts?
A． They cause physical pain.
B． They bring comfort to them.

C． They make their vision clearer.
D． They float around and cause trouble.
3． The underlined phrase "take them for granted" in paragraph 7 means _______.
A． find them important
B． consider them useless
C． need them during an emergency
D． fail to notice their presence(存在)
4． The second-to-last paragraph (paragraph 7) is mainly about_______.
A． suggestions of how astronauts can stay comfortable in space
B． other basic things that are difficult to do in space
C． why burping is impossible in space
D． things human can't do without gravity

16、 In life, everyone once struggles for a dream, whether it’s successful or not. I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school.

I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again.
However, after about a year, that terrible experience became a funny memory. I realizedthat I didn’t need to care about

losing that dream, because I made a new and more realisticone. I’m good at English, as well as other subjects. I made it
