21、Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging ( including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought.  Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible.  What can we do to help?  We should get to know the following Rs.

To reduce means to make less rubbish  That is one of the first things we all should do for  the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器)，taking smaller potions(份)at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.

To reuse is to use things again.  Think about the bags you get from the store.  They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans.  You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!

Recycling is an important part of  keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else.  Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.

Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.

【1】The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that   .

A. packaging should be given up

B. Italy is too dirty for us to visit

C. the US produces most rubbish

D. the Earth is becoming dirtier

【2】The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags   .

A. only as rubbish bags

B. only for carrying other things

C. mainly to have a cleaner world

D. mainly to save some money

【3】Which of the following can be recycled?

A. Food and bottles.

B. Books and newspapers.

C. Paper and mobile phones.

D. Plastic and electrical waste.

【4】The passage mainly tells us that   .

A. all useless things can be recycled

B. the environment is greatly improving

C. the three Rs can help us clean the Earth

D. we should never throw any rubbish away

22、   Indonesia is my mother’s home and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering（做志愿者） would be a good and fun way to do so.

I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.

Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting, but I was very nervous. As time went by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was really the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities(责任).

Many children were shy at first. But when they felt relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence(自信).

For the children who need more help，The Education Program（TEP） will collect donations(募捐) to help them.

As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month to help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors(资助者). This was a way for the children to communicate(交流) with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy fac es, I had a great sense of pleasure.

【1】What does the word “so” in the first passage refer to(指)?

A. relaxed B. nervous C. unhappy D. comfortable

【3】Why did the writer visit the TEP children?

A. To help them write a thank-you letter

23、   There was a boy named Tom. One day, his teacher asked him to write a composition about his dream. Tom wrote seven pages. He said he wanted to have a big farm one day. The next day he gave it to his teacher. Two days later, the teacher gave him a red F and asked him to go to his office. Tom went to see the teacher and asked, " Why did I receive an F?"

The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You don't have any money to make your dream come true. If you write it again with a more realistic dream, I will give you a good grade."

Tom went home and thought hard about it. Finally, Tom gave his teacher the same paper, making no changes at all. He said to his teacher, " You can keep the F, but I'll keep my dream."

Tom is my friend, and he has a big farm now. He often says to me," Never give up(放弃) your dream. It will come true one day if you work hard."

24、   I always have these questions in my mind-how does anxiety influence how we think? What classroom environments are most helpful to learning? Most experts agree that having the right team of people to come up with ideas to argue for plays an important role to find out the answers.

However, how do we know who the right people are when making a team? From the classroom and the workplace, to the laboratory and the playing field, research shows that diverse groups of people often make better decisions.

Professor Scott Page believes different ways of thinking from a particular group produces something additional. When people with their own "tools" come together to work on difficult tasks, the results are powerful.

Groups with different genders(性别) also hold merit here. Christine Lagarde said that better decisions are made when women and men come together at the table, creating what she calls a "larger horizon". She mentioned that while women make up only 2% of bank CEOs worldwide, banks who count women among the top leadership are likely to have better economic outcomes( 结果).

In 2010, researchers examined the performance of about 700 people (both men and women), working in groups of two to five, solving both simple and difficult tasks. They discovered that the best predictor of performance wasn't the average intelligence of group members. Instead it was a collective measure of intelligence, which had much to do with the number of women in the group. As women are good at reading others' faces and making the best of different opinions, they help to bring out a more productive outcome.

Finally, it turns out that the size of the group matters, too. Smaller groups can actually be more creative. A new study from University of Chicago found that while bigger teams are important for advancing science, smaller groups help "break it down"-a key part of creativity.

In today's workforce, people come together to cooperate on tough tasks, being encouraged to look to each other. Brainstorming with others in small, diverse groups helps ideas to shine in our mind and, more often than not, leads to the solution. It's a research-driven model for how to develop our collective problem-solving abilities by having the right teams of people producing good ideas worth fighting for.

【1】The underlined word "diverse groups" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A.groups in which people have a close relation

B.groups with people who like thinking and sharing

C.groups in which people are different from each other

D.groups with people who are good at solving problems

【2】What can we learn from the research in 2010?

A.Groups with both genders make teamwork more fruitful.

B.Women are better at reading and accepting others' minds.

C.The average intelligence of group members really matters.

D.Banks should depend more on women in decision-making.

【3】What does the writer mainly want to show us?

A.Women in a group influence the collective intelligence.

B.Different groups of people usually produce different ideas.

C.Diverse teams can be expected to work out better outcomes.

D.The size of the group is important in dealing with problems.
