I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room． In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom． I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装)．
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good． She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should．" In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink． It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think．
My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor． She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore． She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too． She never lets me do the things that I just have to do．
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels． I don't have the energy to teach． I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean． I don't have the time to sit and play． Don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife． I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear．
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes． So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore ．
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another．What was the little girl doing with her doll?
| A．She was dressing up her doll． |
| B．She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie． |
| C．She was talking to her mother． |
| D．She was punishing her doll． |
How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?
| A．Worried． |
| B．Regretful． |
| C．Disappointed． |
| D．Sad． |
What can we learn from this passage?
| A．The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter． |
| B．The mother should spend enough time with her daughter． |
| C．The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many． |
| D．The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words． |

Food is a major part of every culture． After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when．
Egypt
Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread． Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal． In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p．m． But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p．m． Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p．m．
Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat．
France
France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously． Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals． Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee． They eat lunch at around 1:00 p．m． and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p．m．
The French consider eating a social activity． Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of． The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same．
Brazil
Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast． Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables． Between 6:00 p．m． and 8:00 p．m．, people enjoy a smaller meal with their families．
Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车)． But they always finish eating before walking away．
The United States
American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ． Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast． Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast． For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers． Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns． American restaurant servings tend to be huge． But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common．People of Egypt usually start a day with ________．

Going Green
Green is no longer just a color. It is a new way of thinking about the world and a way of living your life. It’s catching on all over the world. More and more people decide to “go green” because they know that we only have one planet to live on. We won’t be able to live on it much longer if we keep wasting energy, and destroying(破坏) our home with air, land, and water pollution.
“Green Living” means:
Understanding that your choices affect(影响) not just you, but everybody everywhere.
Understanding that your choices affect not just today, but the future.
Understanding that when we talk about “saving the planet” or “saving the environment,” we are actually talking about saving ourselves!
You may be thinking: “Hey, I’m just one person, on a planet with billions. I can’t really make a difference.” Well, have you ever seen a group of people do “the wave(波浪)”? It always starts off with one or two people, jumping up and down like crazy. Soon thousands of people are joining in. “Going green” is just like that. It starts with small, simple actions. It can soon build into a wave that will change the whole planet and lead us all to healthier, happier lives.
Many students have already shared with us their efforts to help the environment:
Gabrielle, 12, writes, “I have helped my community plant a garden and I ride my bike or skateboard to school.”
Kaitlyn, 10, says, “Lots of paper towels are thrown away, so I use a reusable cloth towel to dry my hands instead.”
“I always recycle(重复利用)” says Natalie, 13. “You can call me a recycler! I always look at the bottom of things. I want to see whether they have the little sign that tells you it can be recycled. So I almost recycle everything!”
Now it’s your turn to think about how you can “go green”. Make important choices and take actions to improve the environment right around you and the health of the whole world.What does the expression “catch on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
| A．Go worse. |
| B．Come to an end. |
| C．Get help. |
| D．Become popular. |
From the passage we can learn that ______.
| A．our choices can’t affect the future |
| B．one person can’t make a difference |
| C．our planet is destroyed by pollution |
| D．going green starts with small actions |
The writer may agree that ______.
| A．going green is hard for students |
| B．going green means changing others |
| C．going green is actually a choice |
| D．going green remains far away from us |
