Turn on the tap (水龙头) and the water comes out. Getting water is so 11 that you may think that there is an endless supply (供应量) of it. But it is not true. 70% of the earth is covered by water, 12 most of the water is salt water, leaving only a small percent of fresh drinking water. Some 13 including Italy, Spain and South Africa even buy water from other countries.
Each person in the UK uses about 150 liters of water a day. However, each person in some countries 14 uses 5-10 liters of water a day. We should help save water. Let's have a look at 15 you can help:
Don't leave the water running while brushing teeth. We brush our teeth twice a day and by turning the tap off when we brush, we 16 save 5-10 liters of water.
Don't use the toilet 17 a wastebasket. Every time you flush (冲) used paper, waste food or other small bits of rubbish, 18 water is used.
Make use of 19 . Collect rainwater in water buckets (桶) in your garden and use it to water your plants.

We have only one earth. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier than it was 21 years ago, but it has brought some new problems. One of the biggest problem is pollution. We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has polluted the 22 . The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so 23 people. When the land was used up or the river was not clean in the place, man went to 24 place. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world.
25 pollution is still the most serious, it's bad for 26 things in the world.
Many countries don't let people burn 27 for air in houses and factories in the city. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of pollution. It's caused by heavy traffic. People say it's 28 to ride bikes. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But even in developed countries,
most people don't go to work by bike. It's not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It's because the number of cars on the roads become larger. So more people 29 their bikes and go to work by car, then things are getting worse and worse. We should have special roads only for bikes and make it 30 difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to using their bikes.

For twelve children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the art of cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay 280 for the course where their children can have
fun and learn how to make good food.
Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom's cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we've made."
Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn't too keen at first. I'm really glad I decided to come, though."
Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn't always as tidy when they're cooking! As adults, we're always learning more about food. If parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they'll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home.”

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely.“It is unbelievable！” shouted the king.“How could you make it happen？”
The farmer replied, “It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

A．He kept them on the branch of a tree. B．He sent them to a farmer in the forest.
C．He made the best falconer train them to fly. D．He set them free and let them fly in the sky.
42．Why did the king call all his falconers together
A．Because he wanted to get more falcons.
B．Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.
C．Because he wanted them to see his falcons.
D．Because he wanted to know more about falcons.
43．Who finally made the other falcon fly in the sky

44．How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky
A．Excited. B．Moved. C．Worried. D．Relaxed.
45．What is the best title for the text

In order to reduce the waste in your classroom, make a goal to form new classroom habits. The new habits you form can protect the environment. Check out these new habit ideas for reducing the waste in your classroom.
Recycling Cut back on the rubbish you throw away. Get a large box or bin. Place the bin next to the garbage can. Throw the paper into the bin instead of throwing the paper here and there. Take the bin to a recycling center once the bin is full of paper. Many schools earn money for the waste paper they are able to collect and recycle. Help your school by recycling paper.
Reducing Reduce the paper you use. Make it a habit to write on both sides of your notebook paper. Also try writing your words smaller so you can fit more on the paper. The more words you can fit on both sides of your paper，the less paper you will need. Do not write too small，because others need to be able to read your handwriting.
Saving Turn off the lights when you are not in the classroom. Also, turn off computers when they are not being used. Closing the window blind(窗帘) will also help save energy.
Reusing Use paper from the recycling bin. Create art projects or paper for math problems. Turn your classroom waste into treasures!
By doing these over and over again, the habits will become part of what you do without even thinking about doing them.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students(NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.
A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes，earthquakes, fires and sports injuries(伤害)．

When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.
Earthquakes are common natural disasters(灾难). When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.
When there's a fire, follow the teachers' instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.

作文
One-off chopsticks are very popular，but now using them causes some problems.
Some people think we shouldn't use oneoff chopsticks any more. On the one hand, we need to use a lot of wood to make them. On the other hand, they pollute the environment after we use them. What's worse, many one-off chopsticks are not clean enough for people to use. They are bad for our health.
But others think we should keep using oneoff chopsticks. Because it is very convenient to use them. Next, it is much cleaner and healthier to use them than the traditional chopsticks which can be used and washed again and again.And it is helpful to save water because we don't need to wash them after using.
In my opinion, we should use fewer oneoff chopsticks so that we can save more trees. And we should also use clean chopsticks to keep healthy.
