Oindrila Basu from India, 25, is a key member of a global forestry organization.
Back in her youth, she had to be taught the importance of nature.She used to ruin nests of the bulbul bird just for fun.Once, her mother caught her and forced her to find the eggs and replace the nest.With a heavy heart, the girl realized she had done something terrible.
This is just one way that Basu's parents shaped her understanding and appreciation of nature.Living in the countryside, she spent her youth studying ants before a rain, watching sunbirds drink bottlebrush nectar (花蜜), counting fireflies and watching seedlings grow.Then her parents decided to move to a nearby city with better educational opportunities and she stopped having first hand experiences with nature.
As she struggled to choose a college major, her mother suggested a career in forestry.That's when her journey began and she fell in love with forestry.Away from the crowded concrete cities, in the lap of the Himalayas, she got her bachelor's degree in forestry from Kumaun University, India.When she went on to study for a master's in forestry from the Forest Research Institute, India, she finally got introduced to a_like minded_group_of_people,_dedicated to the same cause — the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA)．
IFSA is a global organization connecting students to exchange knowledge and participate in forestry activities.The youth joining IFSA are encouraged to undertake its task — to enrich forest education and spread a love for nature through events and intercultural exchanges.
After six months of exciting international conferences and workshops, Basu found her home — a family that loved forests as much as she did.She felt rejuvenated (重生的); her passion had a direction.Now she wanted to do more.

In the past several months, some famous companies have all launched their newest smartphones and other products.But in the process, this may also be adding to a growing problem: electronic waste.
The limited lifespan of many tech gadgets (设备) has caused the issue of e waste to increase over the years.“People tend not to realize that all these seemingly insignificant things have a lot of value, especially in large amounts，” Pascal Leroy, director general of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement.
How to solve the problems of e waste is much more than just cleaning out space in your junk drawers.Actually, large amounts of e waste are shipped to developing countries that lack the power to refuse and safely recycle these imports.The WHO warned that children, with their smaller hands, are often used to deal with mountains of e waste in developing nations in search of valuable elements such as copper, silver, palladium and so on.The WHO said the health of more than 18 million children are being affected negatively as they are employed in this informal e waste processing industry.
Personally, what can you do to reduce the e waste burden Find an e waste disposal (处理) service.The impact of recycling e waste can be staggering.For every 1 million cellphones that are recycled, 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered.Meanwhile, environmental advocates say the most important step to deal with the mounting e waste problem is simply to try to use your electronics for as long as possible.
8．What might come along with companies launching new e products
A．More electronic waste.
B．Few optional tech gadgets.
C．Limited lifespan of the devices.
D．Important things for consumers.
9．Why are children greatly influenced by e waste according to the WHO

A．Interesting.　　　　　　　 B．Surprising.
C．Annoying. D．Challenging.

A．What is the source of e waste
B．E waste — a serious problem

D．What to do with your e waste

The Sequoia National Park in California's southern Sierra Nevada mountains is best known for the Giant Forest, a collection of 2,000 trees that includes half of the Earth's largest and longest living trees.This past weekend, the ancient wonders came dangerously close to being burned by the KNP Complex Fire.But thanks to resourceful firefighters, the precious treasure has been saved.
The fire personnel had taken the standard measures of clearing bushes and setting controlled fires long before the fire began heading toward the Giant Forest.But they knew more needed to be done.On September 17, 2021, they took the unusual step of covering the base of some of the oldest trees with protective aluminum “blankets”．High on the list was General Sherman, the world's largest tree by volume.The park officials believed the specialized foil (锡纸) would help block some of the heat from the flames and enhance the natural insulation provided by the ancient trees' thick bark.They were right!
On Sunday, September 19, 2021, the officials reported that the extra prevention measures, which also included 24 hour timed sprinklers (洒水装置) on General Sherman and the nearby park buildings, had worked.Jack Owen, a spokesman for the KNP Complex Fire Information Office, said, “There are no trees that have been burned yet, as far as in the Giant Forest.Fire crews are pouring everything they can into it as long as it's safe.That area is looking good.”
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the rest of the national park.The KNP Complex Fire has burned through 21,777 acres.Meanwhile, the Windy Fire, which started further south on the Sierra slopes on the same night, has burned over 21,598 acres.Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and allow firefighters to gain control of the massive fires, which are now beginning to threaten nearby communities.
12．What did the firefighters first do to protect the Giant Forest from fire
A．Cover it with specialized foil.
B．Put it on the list of protective steps.
C．Set up a fire prevention belt around it.
D．Identify the features of the complex fire.
13．Why was the specialized foil applied
A．To prevent some heat from the fire.
B．To stop the fire from spreading.
C．To keep tree roots from losing water.
D．To test the survival ability of the trees.
14．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．Fire crews are ready to leave.
B．General Sherman is comparatively safe.
C．Nearby buildings have been abandoned.
D．Some trees in the Giant Forest have been cut down.
15．What does the author think about the safety of the rest of the national park
A．Worried. B．Optimistic.
C．Discouraged. D．Unconcerned.

David and Roy decided to go for a bicycle ride with three other students: Robert, Helen and Betty.But Robert's father couldn't afford to buy a bike for him.So they were going to borrow one for him.
The students had planned to meet at 8 o'clock.But Robert, Helen and Betty were half an hour late, for they had to come a long way since they found the bridge over the stream had been washed away.
When they told the bad news to David and Roy, David said nothing and kept silent for a moment.After a while, an idea came into his mind, “Do you think we could rebuild it？”
All of them agreed and started to consider this seriously.They decided to rebuild the bridge before they went for the bicycle ride.Betty said she could ask her brother to make a plan for them.
The biggest problem was to get enough wood.The next day they visited nearly every house in the village.Mr Robinson agreed to supply the wood so long as they did the work.Several people promised to give money if they could build a new bridge because it was a short cut for them.
The students worked for nearly a week under Mr Robinson's guidance.At the end of a week of hard work, the bridge was completed.They all agreed to ask Mr Robinson to officially open the bridge.“He has helped us most，” David said.
“And tomorrow morning we can go around to all the houses，” added Roy, “and tell the people that the bridge will be officially opened at six o'clock.Then we can remind them about their promises about money，” Roy added.
“But we don't really want that, do we？” said Robert.
“Yes，” said Helen.“We need it and I think we should collect it.” She glanced quickly at the others, who nodded.
The next day, the students visited all the houses again.They were surprised when they saw how pleased the people were with them.By two o'clock they had collected over a hundred dollars.By five o'clock, unknown to Robert, they had spent it.

参考范文：
Personally, a lowcarbon lifestyle means saving more energy and producing less waste.In daily life we can do something to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
First, it makes sense to turn off water and electricity when we don't use them.Besides, using reusable products like cloth bags is a good way to reduce pollution.Finally, we can travel on foot if possible, which is both environmentally friendly and beneficial to health.
Every individual's efforts count for a lowcarbon society.Let's start with ourselves.
