24、   It's important to learn things about protecting environment. Here's a 4Rs rule for us.

●Reduce

If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with waste in big cities, so it's necessary to reduce waste.

●Reuse

You should always think of reusing the usable(可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don't use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.

●Recycle

Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they're smashed flat(压平)and smelted(熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.

●Repair(修理)

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it's better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

【1】The "Reduce" rule mainly requires us ___________ .

A.to use things wisely B.to cut down many trees C.to use paper carelessly   D.to use more and more things

【2】What's the right order of recycling cola cans?

a. smash them flat 

b. collect the used cans 

c. smelt them 

d. send them to a factory

A.a-b-c-d B.d-c-b-a C.b-d-a-c D.b-d-c-a

【3】Which sentence is about the "Repair" rule?

A.When you leave a room, turn off the lights. B.Take a cloth bag when you go shopping.

C.Don't use plastic bags. D.If your chair is broken, you can repair it.

【4】Which is the best title for this passage?

A.A 4Rs Rule B.Protect the Environment C.Save Energy D.Good Habits

27、The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face the researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully.

A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?

The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again.

Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats (鼓声) than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

【1】The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is mainly about the baby’s ________.

A．sense of hearing

B．sense of sight

C．sense of touch

D．sense of smell

【2】According to the passage, babies have a strong sense of changing in ________.

A．the size of cards

B．the colour of pictures

C．the shape of patterns

D．the number of objects

【3】Where does this passage probably come from?

A．Science fiction.

B．Children’s literature.

C．An advertisement.

D．A science report

As we all know, Beijing opera(京剧) is the quintessence(国粹) of Chinese culture. But is it the only one treasure of our 【1】/'neɪʃ(ə)n/? Of course not! Chinese calligraphy(书法) is also the 【2】/praid/ of China. It has a very long history and there are lots of calligraphers, 【3】 as Wangxizhi, Qigong, Yanzhenqing, Zhaomengfu and so on.

I think Wangxizhi is widely 【4】(know) to all of us. He had been very 【5】(interest) in calligraphy since his childhood. Every day he practiced 【6】(write).
