When people talk to each other, write letters or make phone calls, words of the spoken form or the written form can send any message they want to pass on.
But besides words, do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people? Rich expressions on your face can be one of them. A smile on your face shows that you are happy. Tears in your eyes tell others that you 're sad or excited. Body language can do the same job. When you put your hand up in class, the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask. You shake your head from side to side and people know you're saying“no”or refuse others' requirements. When you nod, people will understand that you are saying“yes”or agree to others' opinions or suggestions.
Other forms can also carry different messages. For example, a sign at a bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take. The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders. Sound from the school bell tells the students and teachers when to begin or end a class. A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks about the world around him. Music and films also convey the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors. So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music, take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it.
( )16. When people want to use the words to communicate with others, they______.
A. write letters B. cry aloud C. keep silent D. make friends
( )17. According to the passage, you just need to________if you agree to others' suggestions.

Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests. It was home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom now. There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-six million. Three quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new met hods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in the fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland, there are only about 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.
Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this“rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years,over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more- but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack(袭击) sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests- but soon there might be!

C. Because pollution is much worse than before.
D. Because people use new methods of farming.
( )18. What does the underlined word“rewilding" possibly mean in Chinese?
A.再度圈养
B.仿野生

( ) 21. Sally often takes a banana to school for lunch. She often puts a banana in her bag in the morning, and when she opens the bag at noon, the banana looks as if someone drove a car over it. ( ) 22. Rose wants to know whether her breath smells nice or not. But it’s difficult to know, because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. ( ) 23. John used to have a watch that can tell him the time and temperature during the day. However, it doesn’t work these days and he wants to buy something that can be worn more easily. ( ) 24. It is reported that many people die because of breathing smoke from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves. Anna wants to buy a cooker to solve this problem. ( ) 25. Bruce often reads the news about food safety from newspapers, magazines or TV. It has great influences on people’s health. He wants to find something that can help him check whether the food is safe or not. Apple Watch It can not only tell you the right time and the temperature. It also has a set of technology that can collect a lot of health data. It can record your every movement and even tell you whether you sleep well or not. Alarm Fork Well, this special fork has two lights: one green and one red. When the green lights is on, it’s OK to take a bite of food. The fork “knows” when you take a bit, and soon the red light goes on. Wait for the green light before you take another bite. Smell This Smell This is a useful for you to make sure your breath smell nice or not. Smell This covers your nose and your mouth, so it is easy to smell the air that comes out of your mouth. Banana Suitcase Are you worrying about the banana in your bag? If you put your banana in the banana suitcase, it can keep your banana safe, delicious, and looking like a banana! Sol-4 Cooker The cooker is much “friendlier” than other cookers because it produces less smoke and the user would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke. Time Temp Glasses These special glasses show the time above your right eye and the temperature above your left eye. It is surely easier than wearing a watch, and you never have to guess the temperature. Kuaisou The new chopsticks, called Kuaisou, are able to pick up a variety of reading on food freshness, acidity(酸碱度) and nutrients(营养). They allow people to take food safety into their own hands through an app on smart phones.

Taking away a city s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we keep these things we will soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities, the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾倾倒场). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is often broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets,kitchens, bathrooms and other places.
To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'll never know that there has once been an old rubbish dump.
In other cities,the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal(金属). Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles(堆) where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质),which looks like black earth.

What are the basic ingredients(要素) of good manners?
A strong sense of fairness is one of them.
A friend once told me an experience that he had. When he was driving along a one-lane( 单行),unpaved(未铺路的) mountain road, the car ahead of his produced clouds of choking dust(呛人的尘土)and it was a long way to the nearest paved main road. Suddenly, the car ahead stopped at a wider place on the road. My friend thought there must be something wrong with the car ahead. He stopped and asked if anything was wrong.“No," said the other driver.“But you’ve endured my dust so far. I'll endure yours the rest of the way.”
Another ingredient is empathy(同情心). It makes a person see into the mind or heart of someone else. Recently I happened to read such a story in a book.
A man was having dinner alone, and he was trying to open a bottle. But he failed. Then he asked a waiter for help. The waiter took the bottle, turned his back and opened it without difficulty. Then the waiter closed it again and turned back. He pretended(假装) to make a great effort to open the bottle without success. Finally he took it into the kitchen and returned very soon. He told the man that he managed to open it, but only with a tool.
Yet another ingredient is the ability to treat people alike(一视同仁). No matter who he is and what he does, everyone is worth respecting.
( )1. The driver in the car ahead stopped to_________.
A. repair the car
B. have a rest
C. ask the way
