21、Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little thing counts.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something un-green might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

22、Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage, simply by living their lives in a way that stands for who they are and where they come from. But one day in a year is set to celebrate the joint history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to celebrate all the world’s cultures, bring awareness to important cultural relics and sites, and agree on the importance of preserving the world’s cultures.
On this day, there are a number of different events that happen all over the world. This includes a wide range of activities, meetings, and visits to heritage sites and relics. For those who are unaware of the significance of preserving world heritages, a heritage site is basically a place that is of cultural importance, It preserves the culture of intangible attributes(无形的特质)and physical artifacts(古器)of a society or group that is inherited from older generations.
Perhaps the most important way to celebrate World Heritage Day is to search out those locations(所在)near you that are counted as World Heritage Sites, and perhaps pay them a visit. Before doing so, research the sites, find out what steps are needed to protect them, and respect them during your visit.
You should also take a look online to see if there are any events going on in your local area in honor of World Heritage Day. You will find that a lot of events take place to increase awareness regarding the preservation of important buildings and relics.
It is also a good idea to spread awareness regarding this day with the people that you know. This is something you can do with ease via social media. You can post a message that informs your friends, followers, and family members of this day and encourage them to post something too. You could post a photo of one of the best international sites you have visited or one that is on your bucket list, and then ask your followers to reply with their choice. This is a great way of getting everyone involved(参与)and raising awareness of this date!

23、Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade（贸易）. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.
【1】What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?
A．One out of five people got rich.
B．Half of them died.
C．Almost everyone gave up.
D．Two-thirds of them stayed there.
【2】What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?
A．They found the city too crowded.
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．Journeys into the wilderness.
B．The gold rush in Canada.
C．The rise and fall of a city.
D．Tourism in Dawson.
24、 When I was 16 years old and in foster care(寄养中心)in Tennessee,I wanted a family very much.I asked for the help of a judge,even the commissioner of the Department of Children’s Services,and was adopted(收养)just a week before my 18th birthday.
We have a lot to be grateful for and this holiday season let’s not forget about the more than 415,000 youth in foster care especially older youth These youth are the most likely to get overlooked(忽视)for adoption,but they shouldn’t be.They need and deserve a family just as much as young children do.Making an older youth a part of your family can bring just as much a joy as adopting a baby or a younger child.
My adoption was life changing and probably the best thing that ever happened to me.I still remember the first gift my parents gave to me.It was a Mickey Mouse key chain with a key to their home.They told me that no matter what happened they would always love me and I’d always have a place to come home to.This is our 17th Thanksgiving together...
My first Thanksgiving with my family was a little overwhelming(难以应付的)with lots of extended family including grandparents,aunts,uncles,and cousins.However,It’s when I realized that I would never have to spend another holiday alone and that was truly an amazing feeling.
I was always eager to spend time with my little sister,Beth.She was six when I joined the family.My dad always says he knew we were really sisters,and I was no longer a guest in the house when Beth and I had our first fight.Today,she’s one of my best friends,and I’m her biggest cheerleader.
There were also bittersweet Thanksgivings.One we spent in my mom’s hospital room.It was there that she helped me plan my wedding but passed away three weeks before the ceremony.My dad walked me down the aisle,and my sister was my maid of honor.Because of our bond,we were able to support each other through thatchallenging time and that’s what family is for the good and bad times.
It’s nice having my dad and sister to share holidays and special occasions.But they’re even more important when it comes to the little things-like having someone to share my bad day with,celebrate my achievements at work,or help me think through a difficult decision.It’s in these moments that I just can’t imagine being alone in the world.
I’m so glad that I didn’t listen to those people who said I’d never find a family,and that I was putting myself out there for rejection(拒绝接受).It’s a risk for older foster youth to consider adoption.It’s an opportunity to be rejected once again.But it’s a risk they should take because life doesn’t end at 18.It’s really just beginning.
If you know someone who might consider adopting an older teen,please share my story-and have him or her think of my family.They didn’t get to see my first steps.But they taught me so many things about life,and were there to watch me walk across the stage when I graduated from college and law school and accompanied(陪伴)me to the White House last year as I was honored for my work helping foster youth.
I look forward to many more Thanksgivings with my family,and I’m thankful they chose me to be a part of their family.

26、请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
A new study’s findings warn that smart phones are seriously messing with your quality of life.
The study looked at the responses of 256 smart phone users. Researchers found that 13 percent of participants were addicted to their smart phones, spending 3.6 hours per day on the devices. Social networking sites were the No. 1 time wasters with 87 percent of users, while instant messaging apps at 52 percent and news apps at 51 percent.
Almost 25 percent of the people admitted that their smart phones caused “communication issues” in their real lives, including less conversation with family and friends. What’s worse, the majority of users said “their smart phone use caused distraction(精神不集中) from many aspects of their lives, including employment, hobbies and studies.”
“People need to know the potential addictive properties( 性质) of mobile phones,” a researcher said. “There should be a warning before people purchase them or before they download an app. If you’re downloading a game, there should be a warning saying that you could end up playing this for hours and you have other responsibilities that could be ignored.”
