In the past, Nezha’s hometown was a paradise with clear rivers and green mountains. Birds sang in forests while children played in open spaces. But everything changed when factories were built in the n 1 area. Thick smoke and chemical waste slowly t 2 the land into a gray desert.
“Father, we u 3 to swim in these rivers!” Nezha said to Li Jing, his father who once worked in a steel factory. Li Jing said sadly, “I realize that progress shouldn’t harm our e 4 .”
Nezha decided to i 5 the situation, and gathered all villagers. They removed plastic waste and planted new trees. Although the task seemed i 6 at first, their hard work started showing results.
Nezha’s mother, Yin Shi, organized women to clean the block around the ancient temple. “We must c 7 until every street shines,” she said, her hands covered in mud. Even the children helped, carrying water in tiny buckets.
After months of effort, fish r 8 to the rivers. At a village meeting, old Mr. Wang said, “This is the most fantastic view I’ve seen s 9 my childhood!” Everyone cheered when a butterfly landed on Nezha’s shoulder.
Nowadays, the villagers keep in touch through online groups to p 10 their home. As Nezha says, “True magic isn’t about fighting monsters, but guarding the beauty around us.”

The world is not only hungry, but also thirsty. This may s 1 strange to you, since nearly 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered w 2 water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Humans can only drink and u 3 the other 3% the fresh water from rivers, lakes, the underground and o 4 sources. And we cannot even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still e 5 for us. But our need for water is b 6 larger and larger—almost day by day. We should take s 7 to deal with this problem now and in this w 8 we can get away from a serious water shortage(短缺) later on.
We all have to learn how to s 9 wasting our valuable water. One of the steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent into a sewer system(排污系统). From there it r 10 to the sea or runs into underground places.

I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf, the s 1 as all my brothers and sisters—other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.
Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the f 2 . It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she t 3 me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a litter bin. I have never felt so empty and a 4 in my life.
Early the next morning, a man took me out of the litter bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the b 5 of a truck. There were so many awful smells. Then I was pushed together with the r 6 of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I cannot believe how thin I became.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found m 7 in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had nasty smells. I felt afraid. I kept h 8 that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a lot of soil.
I asked another bottle w 9 would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this crowded place, but would stay here for t 10 of years.
“Why can’t they reuse or recycle us ” I cried.

The earth is our home. Some things we have done are good for the earth w 1 some are bad. We have polluted the earth, and it is sick now. We cut down too many trees, so lots of rich land has c 2 into desert. Factories pour wastewater into river. Pollution has caused many s 3 problems. The earth is crying for help. What shall we do to save it We should be different from many consumers (消费者) and become “green consumers”. This means that we can buy and use things f 4 to the environment. We can also recycle as many things as possible. We should also try to be “greener people”. We can plant more trees. We can ride bikes or take buses to r 5 air pollution. We shall never leave a room with the lights on. We can save water by taking shorter showers and t 6 off the tap when brushing teeth. We should r 7 to separate waste into different groups before throwing it away.
After all, we have o 8 one Earth. We should do everything to p 9 it, or we will be punished and lose our home. Lean to live in new and different ways, and we can make a d 10 .
(20-21八年级下·江苏南京·期中)Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So in 2007, the city began a plan to improve the s 1 .
Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or a 2 bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t r 3 it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are h 4 (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of t 5 in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations.
Paris is not the f 6 city to have a project like this—not even in France, where Lyon started a “free” bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to t 7 across the city, they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce(减少) air pollution levels in the atmosphere.
Everyone know about global warming and great climate changes—this is partly b 8 there’s so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a much h 9 life. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But if we don’t anything now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to r 10 , so the problems in our environment will get worse.”

As for take-home gifts, don’t buy products made from plastics. Or give up traditional gifts and give someone a picture you take yourself i 7 , which can be more special.
It seems l 8 a difficult task to take all the actions immediately, so begin small and take larger steps towards a plastic-free life. Don’t be afraid to s 9 your stories. Many people’s actions can change the world for the better. If we can help o 10 make the change to a plastic-free life, we’ll be doing the world a huge favor.

What is Earth Hour
Earth Hour is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually at the end of March every year. On this evening, people “go d 1 ,” that is, turn off lights in their homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour.
Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it has grown into an i 2 event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State Building. E 3 astronauts on the Space Station have taken part by reducing their power use on the station, and Google has shown its s 4 by making a dark homepage for the event.
What’s the idea b 5 Earth Hour
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for a 6 to protect nature. It’s true that switching off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the b 7 .
On one level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of environmental issues and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature. For example, eating less meat, using low-energy electrical items instead of high-energy o 8 and using green forms of transport all help the planet.
But on another level, a large number of people all acting t 9 sends a powerful message to governments and companies. It p 10 them to take action on a large scale by considering green issues when making big decisions.

(20-21八年级下·江苏南京·期中)Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So in 2007, the city began a plan to improve the s 1 .
Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or a 2 bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t r 3 it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are h 4 (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of t 5 in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations.
Paris is not the f 6 city to have a project like this—not even in France, where Lyon started a “free” bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to t 7 across the city, they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce(减少) air pollution levels in the atmosphere.
Everyone know about global warming and great climate changes—this is partly b 8 there’s so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a much h 9 life. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But if we don’t anything now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to r 10 , so the problems in our environment will get worse.”
