Animals are unlike people. They can't speak. They are not able to express themselves even if they feel pain and sadness. 【1】  Now ,we can learn from Sophie Smith and be animals' true friends— a volunteer working for animals.

On Feb. 3, 2014, a girl from Massachusetts, the US, said that circuses（马戏团）should no more use hooks（钩子）or chains on elephants. And the government should do something

【2】 They can’t walk freely. And chains bring them great pain. Some people even use hooks when they train elephants. The hooks are sharp and bring elephants much more pain. Circus actors even push a hook into an elephant's body to move it along during a show. “After some time, the elephant's skin breaks down. It feels the pain, but it can’t say anything. It can' t say no to those cruel people." Sophie told local newspaper Marblehead Reporter. She also said that it would be bad for children.

【3】   Back in 2011, as a sixth-grader, she searched for different animal protection groups online and helped them.

So when she spoke in front of 70 people at the state house, Sophie was not afraid. She was full of courage.

“Elephants aren’t treated with kindness.  【4】  I speak for them with my voice, and my love." she said.

25、How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young，we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”，Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things，make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials，such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words：reduce, reuse and recycle.

【1】What is the passage about?

A. How to produce things. B. How to burn things.

C. How to help others.   D. How to be green.

【2】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box ?

A. You can burn them.

B. You can use them again.

C. you can throw them away.

D. You can change them into something else.

【3】To protect the environment. we should remember these three words：

A. waste，reuse and recycle

B. repair，burn and recycle

C. reduce，reuse and recycle

D. reduce, waste and recycle

【4】The passage may come from   .

A. a menu   B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. a magazine

27、One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

◆ “What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”

◆ “I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”

◆ “Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”

You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.

【1】 This passage tells us mainly about _______.

A. the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language

B. how to guess what one is going to talk about

C. some examples of right guessing

D. how important it is to guess all the time

A. She is one of the most famous film stars.

B. She is one of the most beautiful women.

C. She is one of the most famous speakers.

D. She is one of the most talkative women.

【3】 From the passage we can infer(推断)that guessing is _______ in learning a foreign language.

A. the only way

B. more important in spoken English than in written English

C. more important than any other way

D. more important in written English than in spoken English

28、   How time flies! We're just leaving our lovely junior high school. I have to say 【1】 to my teachers and classmates. I'll never 【2】 the happy days we have spent together.

29、   Grandma has never been to school. When she was young, her family was poor and could not___________________her schooling. So grandma can only ___________________one or two Chinese words.
