Have you ever stayed in a hotel ? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes , toothpaste , shampoo, and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own . But , if you travel to Beijing , remember to bring your own things. Starting from now on , some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment . Do you know , one Chinese person makes as much as 400Kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing , people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel , bring your own things and use them again and again .
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place .Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags , not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag , wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen(食堂), use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things ?
| A．Let their guests be convenient during their travelling . |
| B．Hope their guests use less disposable things. |
| C．Wish their guests to save money. |
| D．Want their guests to use more disposable things . |

On very cold winter days , a group of Japanese children travelled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood , wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking. They were not homeless children or modern Robinson. They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special “ hardship (艰苦) camp”.
Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children’s spirit of bearing (忍受) hardship. Such places as thick forests and far-off mountains are chosen as camp places.
The Japanese education circles usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy and improvement in the people’s living conditions. The experts think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle against nature in modern society.
It’s said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents. Many Japanese children set up camps in far-off mountains or forests to ____________.
| A．be modern Robinson | B．experience hardships |

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will notice the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always change according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts(天赋) of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.The word “audience” in the third paragraph means ________.
| A．students |
| B．people who watch a play |
| C．people who are not on the stage |
| D．people who listen to something |
Students in a good teacher’s class are always ________.
| A．active | B．quiet | C．noisy | D．sad |
In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s?
| A．The teacher must learn everything by heart. |
| B．He knows how to control his voice better than an actor. |
| C．He has to deal with unexpected（未预料到）situations. |
| D．He has to use more facial expression. |
From the passage, we can infer(推断) ________________.
| A．Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class. |
| B．A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class. |
| C．A teacher must speak louder than an actor. |
| D．A teacher must have a better memory than an actor. |
