When people put chemi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cals into the land，they go into our soil and into our water.When people and animals drink the water it makes them sick.They may not realize it right away but finally they feel it.When chemicals get into the ground it affects the whole food chain(食物链)—The insect，the animal，the plant and the people are affected.
When people cut down ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trees they reduce the amount(数量)of oxygen(氧气)and they take away homes for animals.Most people don’t realize how cutting down trees hurts people and animals.

Ever feel like no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one really understands you Well “ Pepper” could be about to
change all that. Peppe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion
recognition f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unctions, Pepper can react to people when it is near them－- making
jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.
The man-like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.
Pepper can examine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.
Pepper gets power f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, making them laugh, it can also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.
Pepper goes on sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le in Japan for around $2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit.

5.In February, 2015
Like many other pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )imary school pupils, nine-year-old Minnal went abroad with her parents during the recent school holidays. It may come as a surprise to learn that she neither shopped at a mall nor ate at a fancy restaurant. She climbed a mountain.
For eight days in M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I thought this was the most meaningful trip for me.” It has not been confirmed if the Primary Four pupil is indeed the youngest Singaporean to reach the base camp, as no such records are kept.
Everest’s south base camp in Nepal is where climbers planning to climb the world’s highest peak, stay to get used to the altitude(海拔高度). However, it will be some years before Minnal can actually climb the Everest as climbers have to be at least sixteen years to climb the peak.
How did it all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )start It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge. This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.
Minnal shared that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, with the help of three local guides. Luckily, she added, nobody fell ill with altitude sickness. She also said that she is thinking of climbing Everest in the future.

At the start o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f a new year, students will usually write articles to review last year’s work and set goals for the coming year. Well, the Chinese government does this too---it writes the Government Work Report.
Every year in spring, the National People’s Congress (全国人民代表大会) meetings are held in Beijing, and big issues (议题) of the country are discussed. At one meeting on March 5th, Premier Li Keqiang brought out this year’s Government Work Report. This year is quite special because 2016 is the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Thus, this report lays out (制定) a big plan, which China will follow over the next five years.
For a long time, Ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ina has seen fast economic development. Both the country and its people have been becoming richer and richer. But last year, China saw the slowest economic growth speed in the past 25 years. The report pointed out that people don’t have to worry because China is welcoming a “new economy”. Goals for the economy are always one of the most eye-catching parts.
China used to rely( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )依靠)a lot on industries like making clothes and toys, which don’t need much science or technology. But now China is changing. It will focus more on developing high-tech companies and service industries like tourism, according to the report.
The report also plan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to help people have better lives. The government needs to make sure that city air is clean 80 percent of the year. China will also help more people get good medical care, and they want to increase the average person’s lifetime by one year.
Although facing differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent kinds of problems, the report believes in a bright future for China. “From the start, China has been developing while dealing with challenges. There is no difficulty we cannot get beyond,” wrote the report.

(Any reasonable answer can be accepted)
You can be proud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖).
WAY 1: Bring your own ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
WAY 2: Turn off you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r computer. When in standby mode (待机模式), your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds.
WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.
WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing.
WAY 5: Plant a tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ee. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5,000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

2. What is happening when your PC is in standby mode
3. Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things
4. How do these ways do good to our environment
5. What do you usually do to protect our environment （请自拟一句话作答）
1. Five (ways).
2. It is still using energy.
3. Way 3 and Way 4./ Ways 3 & 4.
4. They produce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )less greenhouse gases./ They help limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
5. I usually go sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pping with my own bags/ I usually take shorter showers to save water./ I usually turn off the lights when I leave a room to save power./ I usually do more exercise and watch less TV./ …
Your smartph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one may seem like the centre of your entertainment, but a Kent State University study shows that too much phone use is taking the fun right out of our spare time.
Researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )watched a group of nearly 500 students and recorded their daily smartphone use. Those who were considered in the “high-use” group experienced more stress during their spare time than the other group.

Mr. Henry St ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one is a well-known writer. He is now in a writing class at Beijing Sunshine Secondary School. He is very glad to share his writing experiences with the students
“Ok, I watch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people a lot, I do that when I travel, I have been to many countries such as Britain, Italy, and Sweden. So I spent a lot of time at the airports, while waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple, they were buying magazines at that moment, they were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase, every few seconds, the women looked around, I wondered someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and, you know, ( reminded, of, me , a story, in the newspaper , that day , This) : a banker stole one million ponds a week before and disappeared with his wife, there was a picture of them in the paper, the couple really looked like the thieves, maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other. And the woman walked away. Oh, they are not the thieves, she came to see her husband off. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing.”
