What do you think of the
“new” hat I made for my
sister It used to be my mum’s
sweater.
New uses for old clothing
Nowadays, we’re more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the
costs. We need to start living more responsibly-but how One answer is to upcycle （再生利用）.
If you’re like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as
storage space. Did you know you can apply（应用）the same way to old clothing You just need imagination!
I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my
interest. Do you upcycle If so, what new things have you made If not, why not give it a try
Reply
Terry B Posted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018
Why don’t you give your old clothes to people in need I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear
anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Reply
Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 11th February 2018
Good point! I’m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room-the clothes that are too old to be worn by
others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be
eaten, for example, using it to make soil
Reply
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2018
I’ve made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks.
Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I’m living less
wastefully.

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, doctors and teachers may be your answers. It’s easy to imagine
smart cleaners and robot factory workers, but some jobs really need human thinking and creativity（创造力）.
Nowadays, robots already do a better job than doctors in hospitals in some way. Could there be a place for robots in
education
British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He believes in 2027 robots will do the main job of passing
information and teachers will just help. They can even read students’ faces, movements and brain activities.
However, it’s not a popular idea and it’s impossible that robots will really connect with humans like another human
can.
But one thing is certain. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t
enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get
tired or move somewhere for a better job. Perhaps the question is not “Can robots do everything instead of
teachers ” but “How can robots help teachers ” If robots could help to save the time teachers spend on students’
homework and reports, teachers would have more time and energy（精力）for the parts of the job humans do best.
59．Anthony believes in 2027________.
A．robots can do a better job than doctors
B．robots will do the same job as human teachers
C．robots can understand students from their faces
D．robots will move for better jobs like human teachers
60．Why could robots partly solve the problem in Paragraph 3 ________
A．They can teach anywhere. B．They can’t get tired easily.
C．They can’t waste time on homework. D．They can do everything instead of humans.
61．What does the writer think of robots in education ________
A．Thankful. B．Smart. C．Popular. D．Helpful.
62．What is the best title for the passage ________
A．Robot Doctors. B．Robot Teachers. C．Abilities of Robots. D．Jobs of Robots.

On Oct 8, Louise Gluck became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature. Louise Gluck has had
many other awards over her career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her
collection of poems. Her work received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014.

end. This is often the case in Gluck’s poems, being able to feel joy in the end.
Although she’s already a well—known writer, Gluck didn’t expect to be given the Nobel award. When asked

Erik Weihenmayer was born legally blind. By the age of 13, he lost his eye sight completely.
In 1991, Weihenmayer graduated from Boston College with a degree in English and started teaching. Two
years later he moved from Phoenix to Colorado and decided to join a gym. Travelling to the gym by bus, he got off
at a park whose roads he could navigate(导航) alone. However, Weihenmayer ended up walking into a lake because
of the snow on the roads. So he returned to the bus stop and tried again and again. When he finally did reach the
gym, it was closed. “Faced with that kind of trouble,” he said. “You can see life as a bad dream or as an adventure. I
chose the adventure.”
In 2001, Weihenmayer became the first and only blind man who managed to climb up to the top of Mount
Everest, an achievement that put him on the cover of Time magazine.
Weihenmayer climbs not because he’s a superhuman, but only because he’s a human. Although he could not
enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the top of Mountain Everest. He hopes that his success will
change how people think about the blind. “When people think about a blind person or blindness, now they will
think about a person standing on top of the world.”

It’s reported that we waste 1.3 billion tons of food every year. This is too much wasted food. However, in
many areas, there are millions of people that don’t have enough to eat.
When we put food waste into the landfill(垃圾填埋场), it produces a dangerous gas that can keep heat inside
of the earth’s atmosphere(大气). That’s why it’s one of the causes of global warming. There are also chemicals that
come out of the food and go into the soil. When it rains, the chemicals then go into our rivers and lakes. As a result,
food waste harms our bodies through water.
________ A lot of water is used to grow plants that make food. We use a lot of energy because we need
fuel(燃料) to transport food from the fields to the supermarkets, and then to our homes. If we waste the food, we
waste our planet’s natural resources.
For these reasons, it is important and necessary for us all to reduce our food waste. If we do like this, our
environment will be much better.
70．From the first paragraph, we can know ________.
A．food is wasted too much every year B．everyone has enough food to eat
C．food waste is bad for humans D．food waste is good for the environment
71．Why is food waste harmful to water
A．Because the harmful gas that comes out of the food goes into the water.
B．Because people often throw food waste into the water.
C．Because the chemicals that come out of the food go into water when it rains.
D．Because the landfill is close to rivers or lakes.
72．Which of the following can be the missing part in Paragraph 3
A．Do you know how food is made when you throw it away
B．Do you know how much food is wasted every year
C．Do you know which country wastes most seriously

Respecting our parents
Our parents play an important role in our lives. So it’s important for us to respect our parents.
Here are the reasons. They give us our life. The food we eat, the clothes we wear and the
education we accept all come from our parents’ hard work. Also, respecting our parents is an
important part of Chinese traditional virtues.
What should we do to respect our parents Here is my advice.
First, we should remember our parents’ birthday. Second, we’d better try our best to help our
parents do something, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, doing some cooking and so on.
Third, be polite and grateful to our parents.
