When I walked into the house after school, I found my dad at home.
“What are you doing home already ” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was laid off (解雇) today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home ”
Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and was proud of himself on his career (职业). My father’s unemployment (失业) created many changes in our lives. He was home all day, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected (影响) his self-esteem (自尊心), though he tried to be optimistic (乐观). He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my pocket money, though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired (羡慕) how much time and energy he spent on it.
One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn’t interfere (妨碍) with school,” he said, which sounded like a yes.
I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really touched me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through clever problem-solving, I can always find plans, ask for help, and take risks.

Here is the story of a drop in the bucket(九牛一毛).
During the Han Dynasty, there was a historian(史官) named Sima Qian. One day, the emperor(皇帝) received a message from northern China. It said that the general(将军) Li Ling had given in(投降) to the enemy. The emperor was very angry with Li Ling. But Sima Qian didn’t say a word.
The emperor asked Sima Qian what he thought about the matter. He answered, “The enemy has 80,000 soldiers, but Li has only 5,000 men. He has been fighting hard for more than ten days. Li only gave in because they had run out of food. I believe he is waiting for another chance to attack.”
When the emperor heard his words, he got even angrier. He sentenced Sima Qian to castration(宫刑). Sima Qian felt so humiliated(受辱的) that he once wanted to kill himself. But in a letter to his friend, he wrote, “If I were to die now, it would be like one of nine cows losing one hair. I don’t want to die like a nobody. I will first finish the history book that I am writing.”
Later, Sima Qian did finish the book, Records of theGrand Historian(《史记》). It became one of the most famous books ever written in China.

When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs(肺). What about bees and butterflies They can’t wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading, UK. Their study found that air pollution is harmful(有害的) to pollinators(传花粉者)-insects like bees and butterflies. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen(花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seed and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food. We all need pollinators.
To do their study, Ryalls’ team built eight areas. Then, they piped(吹送) nitrogen oxide(氧化氮) and ozone(臭氧) into six of these areas. The other two areas had normal air. They were the control group.
“The results were much more severe(严重的) than we thought,” said Ryalls. The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to “normal road traffic”. In such conditions, 70 percent fewer insects entered the area. Once they were there, they didn’t hang around. Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents(气味) of flowers. This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal(合法的) in the UK. Shannon Olsson, a scientist in India, called the results “important” because they show that “safe” levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
“Air pollution is another stress on insects,” said Ryalls. “That adds to all the other stresses causing their numbers to decline(减少).”
46.What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C.They can’t smell flowers, so they spread(传播) less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
47.How did the scientists do the research
A.They recorded(记录) insects’ activities on farms next to busy roads.
B.They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C.They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D.They compared(比较) insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
48.What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution
A.They found food more easily. B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out(外出) more often. D.They visited flowers less.
49.What does Paragraph 7 show
A.Pollinators will only work in a “safe” environment.
B.Even “safe” levels of pollution influence(影响) pollinators badly.
C.The law will have less control over air pollution.
D.An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
50.What is the experiment in the passage mainly about
A.The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B.Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C.Stresses that insects are facing.
D.Causes of air pollution in big cities.

The changes in my hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived a poor life. The houses were old. The pollution was serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not very convenient so few people came here.
Now great changes have taken place here. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers are cleaner and the sky is bluer. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit my hometown.
I’m sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
