In cities all over the world, it is common to see beggars (流浪汉) in the street. Some of them might ask you for money. Some of them might ask for food. Some of them might be disabled (残疾的) or seriously ill. But in nearly every case, they come from a situation where they have to ask strangers for some kind of help.
Is there anything you can do for them Of course there is. You can give them some money, or perhaps buy a cheap meal for them. You can listen to their stories-even just listening can help. Many beggars like to tell stories about themselves.
Some people will tell you to stay away from them.

Some even say that they work for some kind of criminal organization (犯罪集团)---they don't keep the money for themselves, but hand in to the organization. And unluckily, these people are sometimes right.
However, I think it's better to think more optimistically (乐观地). Will it really hurt to help them in some small way You never know what they might have been through. In life, we mainly listen to our heads when we're trying to find out what we should do. But sometimes, it is just as important to listen to our hearts as well.

You may have heard the saying "The Yangtze River is China's mother river." It is almost 6,400 kilometers long. As the world's third-longest river, it covers one-fifth of China's land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China's total population and GDP.
On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river's Chinese paddlefish has died out there. There's also decertified (沙漠化的) land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze's natural waterways, including its major tributaries (支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly limited in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river's water to decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development.If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.
8. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River
A. How old it is. B. Why it's important. C. What problems it has. D. Where it joins the sea.
9. What do we know about the Yangtze River Protection Law
A. It was passed on March 1, 2021. B. It came into force about ten years ago.
C. It has increased the population of the area. D. It's the first law to protect a waterway in China.
10. What does Paragraph 3 explain
A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.
C. When Chinese paddlefish died out D. How the river will be protected.
11. What does the underlined word "decline" in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Disappear. B. Become worse. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to control.
12. According to the passage, which is true about protecting the river
A. People can't fish in the river's major tributaries.
B. Digging sand will not be allowed in the river anymore.
C. Companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.
