22、Grand Opening
Bentwood Truck Museum Saturday, November 8, at 10:00 A.M.
After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open. The old factory on the corner of Palmer Street and Norman Drive had been scheduled to be destroyed. When Roger Haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.
During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past.
The museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon. There is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine. Our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck. Our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck.
You can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice-cream truck. Rides are $2.00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.
Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! There is something to interest everyone who attends. The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.
* To get to Bentwood Truck Museum, take Route 29 (Kingston Highway) to Palmer Street.
* Go south on Palmer Street for one block and take a left onto Norman Drive.
* You will see the museum building and the amusement park on your left.
* Parking is available across the street, on your right.

23、Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.
【1】Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?
A. Using river water.
B. Paving parking lots.
C. Throwing batteries away.
D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.
B．All water shortages are due to human behavior.
C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.
D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.
【3】The last paragraph is intended to ________.
A. show us how to fix leaks at home
B. tell us how to run a dishwasher
C. suggest what we do to save water at home
D. prove what drinking glass is best for us
【4】The text is mainly about ________.
A. why paving roads reduces our water
B. how human activity affects our water supply
C. why droughts occur more in dry climates
D. how much we depend on water to live
24、With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
【1】The underlined part in the first paragraph means ________.
A．lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling
B．eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry
C．eco-hotels are where young people love to live
D．romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels
【2】According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
A．It uses renewable energy.
B．It is comfortable and fashionable.
C．It has walls of glass.
D．It is home to endangered species.
【3】From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that ________.
A．protects important habitats
B．harvests food from its own garden.
C．has courses on the environment for its guests
D．encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities
【4】From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．money is part of the driving force behind eco-hotels
B．eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests
C．eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels
D．the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment
【5】People who choose to stay at eco-hotels ________.
A．love to take a hike
B．have environmental awareness
C．want to live comfortably
D．enjoy the green atmosphere
