1. Dear Sir or Madam.
Last Thursday. I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn't come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn't give us any reasons for the delay(延迟). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What's more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily. we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning (空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we reached King's Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service. I feel you should pay me compensation（赔偿）．
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Roberson

Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties，a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help．That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us．
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县)，Henan Province. When he was only 11，his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl．A year later，Hong’s mother left home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband．Everything hard fell onto the young boy’s shoulders. He managed to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen and go on to study as well．
Although his life was hard, Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister. He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family．He climbed tall trees to get birds’ eggs for his sister．He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school. A few years later，he studied at a college．To take care of Chenchen，he worked hard to rent(租)a room near his college for her，and send her to school．
After Hong’s story went public，he became a hero in people’s eyes．But Hong refused offers from others．He said he felt encouraged by kind offers，but he could depend on his own work．
Through his hard life，he has grown up from boy to man．

【小题1】   up from boy to man

4. You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit CO₂and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖).
WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
WAY 2: Turn off your computer. If you don’t do that, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO₂ by 750 pounds.
WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. Oil that is used for making just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.
WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced(替换)one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing.
WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot CO₂ each year.
【小题1】How many ways are mentioned in the passage?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【小题2】What will happen if our PC is turned off when it isn’t in use?

A．It will help to save much money.

B．It will help to reduce a great deal of CO₂.

C．It will save a lot of oil that runs your car for a mile.

D．It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.

【小题3】Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things?

A．Ways 3 & 4.	B．Ways 2 & 3.
C．Ways 3 & 5.	D．Ways 2 & 4.

【小题4】How do these ways do good to our environment?

A．They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity.

B．They all cut down the number of the use of paper.

C．They all produce less greenhouse gases as a result.

D．They all help protect our trees and forests.

【小题5】What are the uses of planting a tree?

A．To make your garden beautiful

B．To help make cleaner air

C．To save environment

D．All of above
