Americans won’t live without cars! Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets, as millions of new cars are produced.One of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car.However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars.The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car that does not pollute.That’s what several large car factories are trying to do.But to build the new car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take place of the car engine by something else.Engineers are now working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live.Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike.Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily.A large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down.And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Large car factories are trying to build a clean car,        

A.which is clean itself
B.which is used to clean streets
C.which does not pollute the air
D.which is easier to make

If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem in American workers is       

A.to have no work to do B.to keep the air clean
C.to get a better life D.to go to work by bike

What is the conclusion of the writer?

A.Bicycling is the only way out.
B.The number of ears must be cut down.
C.Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.
D.Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family were rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had,the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning,the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem.” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement,I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

Every student wants to learn English well, but how can we learn it well? It’s a good topic for English learners. Here are some good methods, which can help you improve your English quickly.
First of all, you must have correct attitude. Please love English, not hate it. And you don’t feel shy when you say or speak English. Remember one sentence: Put your face in your pocket.
Secondly, I think grammar rules, new words and phrases are important, but they are not enough. For example, some people are quite good at grammar and learned a lot of English words and phrases. But they can’t speak English when they meet foreign friends.
The most effective way to learn English well is to often use English. Don’t be afraid and don’t laugh at others. We’d better listen, speak, read and write more. You can go to English corner, talk with foreigners or talk with your friends. If you have time, listen to the radio or English program. Listening to this good material can help you improve your listening and understanding. And then, you can read English books, newspapers or novels. They are wonderful. You can use the internet, chat with net-friends or write E-mails, dairies …Through these ways, you can get more for your English.
English isn’t so difficult that we can’t learn it well. As long as we set our mind to learn English well, I’m sure everyone will be successful.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don‘t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.

A.eat too much B.don‘t work hard
C.waste things D.throw rubbish everywhere

What may happen in 100 years?

A.We may still have enough oil.

D.We may have no coal or oil to use.

Which of the following is right?

A.Waste brings problems.
B.Waste can bring no problem.
C.China is rich in fresh water.
D.Students never waste things.

Which is the best title of this passage?

A.Stop Wasting
B.School life
C.Waste in the School
D.Rich Resources in China
