is is a story of two friends — one is blind, the other has no arm
s. Although the two are “disabled”, they are a powerful team toge
ther. They have changed part of their village in North China’s He
bei Province into a rich, green forest. Their story began in 2000
. Haixia was blind in his right eye. Wenqi lost his arms in an ac
cident. Neither could find a job, so they decided to team up. The
y rented(租) some poor land and began to plant trees. Haixia and W
enqi never imagined that they would create an environmental parad
ise(天堂). Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of bird
s and many other wild animals. It also saves the village from riv
er flooding(洪水泛滥) during the rainy season. When the friends work
together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. T
heir day begins at 7 a.m. Haixia carries Wenqi across the river t
o get to their work place. Since they cannot afford to buy young
trees to plant, the two use branches（树枝）from trees. Haixia climbs
to the tree-top and picks up the perfect branch. He then digs a
hole and plants it carefully. Finally Wenqi waters the tree.The t
wo men don’t make much money but they are proud of themselves and
they still work hard. As Wenqi says, “We stand on our own feet,
so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi
cares about money. As a team, they already have everything they
need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best f
riendship in the world!Haixia and Wenqi decided to team up becaus
e ______.A. Haixia wanted to help WenqiB. neither could find a jo

our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means

SharksSharks have lived in the oceans for over 450 million years
, long before dinosaurs appeared. There are now about 360 kinds o
f sharks, whose size, behavior, and other characteristics differ
widely.Every year, people catch and kill over 100 million sharks.
They hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Exper
ts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has incr
eased because many parts of a shark are valuable. Collectors pay
thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. Shark liver oil is
a popular source of Vitamin A. The skin of a shark can be used li
ke leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark
fins.It takes most kinds of sharks10 to 15 years to begin reprodu
cing (繁殖)and most sharks reproduce only every two years. And they
give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over
-fishing of sharks is the special danger to the future of the ani
mal.Influenced by movies and popular novels, most people see shar
ks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the truth. Every y
ear, a few types of shark injure about 100 people worldwide and k
ill about 25. Most attacks are by great white sharks, which often
feed on sea mammals, just like sea lions，sea dogs and dolphins.
They sometimes mistake human swimmers for their food, especially
if they are wearing black wet suits.If you are a typical ocean-go
er, your chances of being killed by a shark are about 1 in 100 mi
llion. You are more likely to be killed by a pig than a shark and
thousands of times more likely to get killed when you drive a ca
r. According to the studies, most sharks can live 20 to 30 years.
Although sharks cannot live as long as human beings, they have t
he similar aging process. Sharks help save human lives. They are
helping us learn how to fight cancer and other diseases. Their hi
ghly effective immune(免疫的) system allows wounds to get better and
their blood is being studied in connection with AIDS research. S
harks are needed in the world’s ocean ecosystems(生态系统). Although
they don’t need us, we need them. We are much more dangerous to s
harks than they are to us. For every shark that bites a person, w
e kill one million sharks.27. The second paragraph is mainly abou
t ______.A. why people kill sharksB. who makes sharks in dangerC.
what causes people fear sharks D. how sharks produce their babie
s28. The word ‘‘aging process’’ in Paragraph 6 probably means “ _
_____”.A. sharks have their own family B. sharks live from baby t
o the oldC. sharks have their own languageD. sharks raise their c
hildren all the time29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Peo
ple find dinosaurs have lived long before sharks.B. One hundred p
eople are killed by sharks every year.C. Sharks are helping peopl
e fight diseases like cancer.D. Sharks give birth young babies ev
ery 10 to 15 years.DBottled water has become the choice for peopl
e who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the worl
d. But some say the planet''s health and people''s health may be su
ffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans m
ay not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America
said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bott
le, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New
York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “re
ally just tap water in a bottle—sometimes cleaner, sometimes not.
”It is not tested that bottled water is better than tap water. Ni
ck Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environment
al Management said, “The high mineral content(矿物质含量) of some bott
led water makes them not good for feeding babies and young childr
en.” Also, most bottled water doesn''t have fluoride(氟化物), which c
an make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and
less fluoridated tap water, and some say that''s behind the recent
rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem. Placed near heat,
the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water. Sto
re bottled water appropriately. Bottled water, like many foods an
d drinks, should be stored in the appropriate way to keep the qua
lity and safety of the product. Keep bottled water out of the lig
ht and heat. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, s
ome 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle wate
r each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to
break down.For energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. On
e report said that if water and drink bottlers had used 10 percen
t recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have sa
ved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about
the effect of bottled water on the earth, you can take the follow
ing four steps: Step 1. Drink from your tap. Unless your governme
nt warns against this, it should be fine. Step 2. Get a container
(容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking contain
er, and clean it between uses.Step 3. Keep it cool. Don''t drink f
rom a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, don''t store it nea
r chemicals, and don''t reuse plastic bottles. Step 4. Choose glas
s containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle! 30
. What can we learn about bottled water from the passage?A. Plast
ic bottles are not expensive to make.?B. It is tested that bottle
d water have high fluoride.C.?Bottled water may cause the rise in
bad teeth.D. The?plastic can be broken down in less than 400 yea

umansB. plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water
in cool placesC. babies and young children need bottled water wit
h high mineral contentD. gas can be saved if water and drink bott

Do you know your neighbors? Do you often talk with them? Good nei
ghbors are just like our friends and relatives. They are the impo
rtant people in our lives. They make our lives more pleasant and
give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a mem
ber of the community. Here’s how to develop your relationships wi
th these very important people in your life.Start a conversation.
Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. However most
neighbors enjoy making small talk with each other in their commu
nity. You can ask how their kids are or what they think of the pr
ices at the supermarket. But the best way to break the ice is to
smile, wave, and say hello to your neighbors. Be friendly to the
newcomers. Your new neighbors may be feeling lonely, especially i
f they’re far from home, and might expect a friendly face. If the
y have kids, tell them where the children play in the neighborhoo
d. Introduce the best places to eat and shop. Invite them over fo
r coffee or tea, give them your phone number, and point to your h
ouse as you say good-bye.Develop better relationships. Return any
thing that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good rep
air and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Make sure that your
car is not blocking their doorway. Such small actions will help
you build up a good relationship with your neighbors.Make time fo
r your friendship. If you value a friendship with your neighbors,
spend time with them. Why not invite them to a barbecue or weeke
nd party? You can write a card to invite them to your party. Then
, you can make a call to them ahead. In this way, you will know w
hat your neighbors like. You can plan for proper food and music.C
are about the details. In a good relationship, it’s really the li
ttle things that count. When your neighbors carry a lot of things
, you can give them a hand. Help to bring in the mail for the eld
erly neighbor when it rains. If you care about them, they will gi
ve you a surprise, too. The respect for your neighbors'' feelings
can develop your relationship with them.Are good neighbors import
ant people in your life?35.What is the best way to break the ice
