It doesn’t take special skills or even a huge amount of effort to help the environment . Small, simple things you can do every day can make a big difference. On April 22, people around the world well celebrate Earth Day. But kids can help the Earth all year round. Here are a few kid heroes and their creative projects to protect the planet. Now it’s your turn to follow their lead!
Accidental activists
In 2015, Alex Weber went for a dive in the cold waters near Carmel Beach, California. She was surprised to find thousands of golf balls on the ocean floor. Alex asked her friend and fellow diver Jack Johnston to help collect them. They are harmful to sea creatures that mistake them for food. Since their first dive, the two have removed 12000 balls from the ocean. They also created the Plastic Pick-Up, an organization that warns people of ocean pollution. “Some golfers have no idea this is happening , Jack said , “so it’s about raising awareness.”
Bird-watcher
Desmond Dessi Sieburth, 14, fell in love with birds when he made his first bird feeder as a Boy Scout, six years ago. Now he runs his own program called Protecting Our Birds.
The Los Angeles, California, native studies birds and has a website that teaches people about how to help them. He also builds bird boxes. Dessi has interviewed biologists, written articles, and spoken to local branches of the Audubon Society, an organization devoted to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. “Studying birds is actually very important to protecting them,” Dessi said, “In order to protect a species, we have to learn and really know about it” .
Ivary-trade fighters
Willow and Isabella Poschman, 11, live in Aspen, Colorado. But they want to help the African elephant. After learning that the animals are hunted for their ivory tusks (象牙), the twins founded a non-profit, Kids Saving Elephants. They sell handmade elephant greeting cards and donate (捐赠) the profits. They raise an average of $1000 at farmers’ markets and have helped save about 15 elephants. “Elephants deserve to be on this planet just as much as we do,” Isabella said.

The United States has more tornadoes than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail. Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas，not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didn’t touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

Michaela Clovis is a neighbor of mine. Last year, one of her classmates made fun of her hair. “She said it doesn’t look right and doesn’t match my skin,” said Michaela. Michaela is Irish, German, Native American, and African American. She has pale skin and reddish yellow hair, but she is not white.
Soon, a few classmates joined the teasing. Michaela said she felt “small and alone”. But she stopped the teasing without getting angry. Here is how she did it.
First, Michaela talked to her parents. Her mother, Donna, told Michaela’s teacher and also suggested that Michaela not face the teasing alone. Next, Donna told Michaela about the different people in her family, and their love for each other. She taught her that people of all races are beautiful.
“Everyone’s skin or hair color is beautiful and you have to believe that for yourself. You have to learn to be confident and comfortable in your own skin and hair. Forget what your classmates say, as it is just a period most kids go through picking on others because they are different ! Just don’t let it get to you and you will be okay! Be proud of who you are and love yourself for being a kind and generous human being,” Michaela’s mother said.21-cnjy*com
This made Michaela feel better. After that, Michaela was more confident. The next time she was teased, Michaela said, “I know that I’m proud of it”. She stuck to that answer until the teasing finally ended.
28. Some classmates hurt Michaela by teasing her about her ________
A. skin B. hair C. neighbor D. family
29. What did Michaela first do to deal with the teasing?
A. She believed in herself and kept silent
B. She asked the author for advice
C. She talked to her teacher
D. She told her parents
30. The underlined part “picking on” in paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. searching for B. fighting with
C. laughing at D. forgetting about
31. What can we learn from this story?
A. It’s possible to end a bad situation without anger
B. Students should be taught to love each other
C. People who tease others should be punished
D. Teasing is popular among classmates
D
Do you think horseback riding is easy? Well, you are wrong. Horseback riding is one of the most challenging sports in the world today.
As you know, a horse has the instinct to run away when afraid. When he becomes puzzled, he becomes afraid. When your silent communication is confusing, he does not ask you to repeat what you have said. Instead, he runs forward, he jumps to the side, he kicks out, or he freezes in place. Most of the time, however, you won’t know your communication is confusing until it is too late. When he runs forward, you will fall back. When he jumps to side, you will fall the other way. When he kicks out or freezes in place, you will fly over his head.
If you want to be good at horseback riding, you must practice. Being ridden does not come naturally to horses. They have to be trained. For example, to ask them to go forward, you usually tap them with your heels. But, if you get on untrained horses, they won’t know that a tap means go. Instead, they will most likely run around like a wild animal out of fear.
Contrary to popular belief, horseback riding does take skill. If you believe horseback riding doesn’t take skill, you most likely have only ridden at a farm that provides a well-trained horse. To me, that is not actual riding. And although it may seem easy to you, you were not the person to teach that horse that a saddle is not frightening. You were not the person to fall off that same horse at the beginning of his training. When horses are first taught to be ridden, all they do is run, kick out, and rear, which is the act of standing on their back legs only.
32. What does the underlined word “confusing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Embarrassing B. Interesting
C. Exciting D. Puzzling
33. In paragraph 3, the author uses the example to ________.
A. prove communication is important in horseback riding
B. prove it is hard to master horseback riding skills2-1-c-n-j-y
C. show horses for horseback riding need training
D. show some horses can’t be trained
34. According to the last paragraph, most people believe that ________.
A. training a horse is easy
B. horseback riding is interesting
C. horseback riding doesn’t take skill
D. riding a well-trained horse isn’t actual riding
35. The text is most probably taken from ________.
A. a newspaper report B. a biology textbook
C. a research paper D. a sports magazine

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pollution
Pollution happens when the environment is dirtied by waste, chemicals and other harmful substances. Pollution is a problem all over the world. But it is especially bad in large cities with a lot of industries and cars. _36_
Wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial chemicals cause some air pollution. But most air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料). These include coal, oil, and natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels may release (释放) harmful gases. Air pollution may cause such diseases as cancer and asthma. It also leads to polluted rain that can harm living things.
_37_ Finally, air pollution damages the ozone layer (臭氧层), which is important because it protects Earth against harmful rays from the sun.
Causes of water pollution are easy to see. People dump (到) garbage and dirty water into rivers, lakes and oceans. Factories or cities sometimes release poisonous chemicals, and other wastes into water. These chemicals may make the groundwater unfit to drink. _38_
Littering, or throwing garbage on the ground, is a form of land pollution. Litter can destroy the habitats of plants and animals. The buildup of dangerous chemicals in the ground is another form of land pollution. The chemicals may come from farms or factories. _39_ They may even harm people who eat the polluted plants and animals.
Many governments, environmental groups, and ordinary people are working to control pollution. Governments have passed laws to keep people from releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. _40_ Instead they are getting power from the sun, wind, water, and energy sources that produce less pollution. Many communities use recycling to reduce pollution.
A. Farmers use chemicals to help crops grow.
B. This type of pollution may be seen in big cities.
C. They also can harm fish and other forms of life.
D. These chemicals can spread to plants and animals.
E. In addition, air pollution may be a cause of global warming.
F. There are three main forms of pollution: air, water, and land.
G. Some companies and people are trying to use fewer fossil fuels.

In my freshman year, I asked myself, “Why am I in school?” I thought I was forced to be there, but I decided just to get along with it until I could find it _41_.
One day it finally hit me. We were studying Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in our _42_ class. Each of us was asked to _43_ a part, and I jokingly _44_ to play the nurse. They all laughed, thinking that I, a boy, couldn’t play it, _45_ I decided I was going to be the best nurse ever to appear on the stage of the freshman writing class. On the day of the _46_, I walked slowly onto the stage and put my heart and soul into the play.

In British literature class, I chose to write a song for a creative project on Sir Gawaiti and Green Knight. _56_ these creative activities, I made classes interesting not only for me, but also for my classmates and teachers.
In short, I have discovered that _57_ is not something teenagers are forced to experience. _58_, learning is a way teenagers grow. What I want to _59_ my classmates is that I am a brave and creative actor, musician and writer, whose _60_ each of my teachers knows by the end of their first class, and will be reinforced each day through my brave behavior.

It is several years when we moved to California. I remember that I enjoyed fly non-stop across the whole country and that I wasn’t happy about leaving my friends. Despite of my unwillingness, my Dad thought it’d be good for we all to live in a suburb instead of in the middle of a city. And Uncle Jeff, his brother, whom had been living in California for about 20 years, was always telling us what wonderful California was. That would be easily for Dad to get a job driving a taxi, which had been Dad’s job in New York. So we all agreed to try it for one year.

Recently haze pollution has happened in many cities of China. It’s one of the most dangerous weather conditions. Many accidents have occurred due to low visibility caused by haze. What’s worse, it also affects our health. If breathing in haze, people may feel uncomfortable and get ill.
The reason for haze is air pollution. It results from waste gases released from cars, factories or construction sites. In view of the above, we need to protect ourselves from haze pollution. Firs of all, in case of haze pollution, we shouldn’t open the windows or take exercise before the sun rises and after sunset. Besides, we’d better wear masks when we go outside. What’s more, we should eat more fruit, from which we can get enough vitamins to build up resistance do disease.
