Different types of maps have different uses. Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.
Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wuhan, you just follow G70 Road and keep looking at the road signs.
Distribution maps(分布图) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether rice grows in certain places.
Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体) into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.
Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gas. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label （标签） ? are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package — three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.
58. The passage is mainly written for _.
A. car producers B. school students C. parents D. housewives
59. The underlined word "carpooling" in Paragraph 2 most probably means_ .
A. sharing a car B. pulling a car C. selling a car D. improving a car
60. From the passage, we can learn that _.
A. turning off the electricity when it isn't needed can save a lot of energy
B. electricity will cause great trouble to our environment'
C. cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air
D. recyclable products are marked with the ENERGY STAR label ?
61. Which of the following can be the writer's opinion?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Rome was not built in one day.
C. Little things can make a big difference. D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
D
