Think of space! What comes to your mind No. I’m not talking about planets or aliens. I’m talking about the space we live in! The world is full of different space. We can think about space in three different ways: public space, private (私人的) space and personal space.
PUBLIC SPACE
Public space is the social space for everyone to get together. It belongs to everyone. But wait! Before you camp in your local park or throw a party at a library, remember that there are rules. The rules are set down to keep the space clean and safe.
PRIVATE SPACE
The private space is for our own. We all need private space like homes, where we can relax and stay alone. We are not allowed to enter private space freely.
PERSONAL SPACE
This is the space where we sit and stand. Everyone has different feelings about their personal space. People may feel uncomfortable or even get annoyed when someone they don’t know gets to close.
We should respect (尊重) all kinds of space. We should respect public space. We can’t leave a mess (乱七八糟) or take away anything that doesn’t belong to us. It’s important to leave no trace (痕迹) in public place.
We should respect private space by asking for permission (允许) before entering. And we should respect personal space by finding out how much space a friend or classmate needs to feel comfortable.
Respecting all space helps make us be better people. It also helps keep our community safe and fun.
26. In public space, we’d better ________.
A. keep the place clean and safe B. take away something useful
C. bring everything together D. leave a mess everywhere

It was started in 1942 in England during the Second World War to provide relief to war victims in Europe. When the war was over, Oxfam continued its work, sending materials and money to the poor throughout Europe. Since then, Oxfams have been founded in 12 countries, such as Oxfam America, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam Hong Kong and so on.
Twenty-eight years later, a group of volunteers started Oxfam America. It was first in Washington, DC, then in 1973 Oxfam America moved to Boston. In England, Oxfam organizes many charity activities every year to raise money. It also runs many charity shops. The shops receive things donated by people and sell them to those who need them. The money from the sales will be used to help the homeless and the poor in different parts of the world.

The “April snow” is here! It’s not real snow, of course—it’s catkins (飞絮) from willows and popular trees (杨树) in spring. For some people, this “snow” is not welcomed. Catkins can cause allergies (过敏), making people’s noses, eyes, and skin uncomfortable.
In spring, female (雌性的) trees grow lots of flowers. When these flowers finish growing, they bear cotton (结出棉花)—like seeds that spread through the air.
Luckily, scientists have found many ways to control catkins. Doing “gender change surgery (变性手术)” on willow and polar trees is one of them. People cut off the branches of female trees and replace (代替) them with branches from male (雄性的) trees. This cuts down the number of catkins. However, this way is slow and expensive. A skilled worker can do the “surgery” on less than ten trees a day. Scientists in Wuxi, Jiangsu, use special injection (注射剂) to reduce the number of catkins on trees. These injections make the trees mainly use their energy to grow bigger and get more leaves, not to reproduce (繁殖) and make catkins. Xu Qinming, an expert in Wuxi, told Science and Technology Daily that this method is safe for the trees. However, the trees need to get injections every year to keep the catkin number under control.
Besides injections, the trees can take “medicine”. The medicine can be sprayed (喷洒) onto the trees before the catkins form, which can quickly reduce catkin numbers. Still, people need to be careful about how much of the medicine they use and when they use it, or they might hurt the environment.
33.According to the passage, _________ cause some people feel uncomfortable.
A.the snow in winter B.branches from male trees
C.special injections D.catkins from willow and polar trees
34.How many ways are mentioned to deal with catkins in this passage
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
35.What’s the disadvantage (缺点) of using injections according to the passage
A.It costs a great deal of money.
B.Trees are needed to be injected every year.
C.It needs many skilled workers to do it.
D.It’s safe for the trees and environment.

Fortunately, we had insurance (保险). But until we could receive some money, we had to live with friends and family and make do with what other people gave us.
The main impact (影响) was on the children. My autistic son really had problems dealing with any changes. He couldn’t even accept the fact of having to wear a new pair of shoes. Yet we had to tell him that he would be living in a whole new house and that all of his clothes and toys were gone.
Thinking about what could have happened, I couldn’t help but feel frightened. I was just thankful that my kids were all alive. Everyone was so nice.
