[1] Imagine a magical forest where the trees touch the sky. Due to enough rainfall, the trees grow huge and spread wide. Their tallest branches are so thick-leafed that they create a thick curtain. Even the wind does not find enough space to blow as it pleases. The climate is good for life forms of all kinds- from trees to animals, birds and insects.
[2] These forests are called tropical rainforests. Most of them are located near the equator, in Asia, Africa and South America. The rainforest of the Amazon basin in South America is one of the lushest(茂盛的) rainforests in the world. You will find more varieties of trees or animal life here than anywhere else in the world.
[3] The tropical rainforests are called the green lungs of the planet. They absorb carbon dioxide from around them to process their food and release oxygen into the air. They also contain the largest number of trees with medicinal value.
[4] But now human beings are out to        . Many companies all over the world, especially in the West, have been attacking these rainforests for a variety of reasons – some want to make profit by cutting down trees and selling timber(木材); others are trying to be the only ones to make profit out of medicinal plants.
[5] To the outside world, the rainforest has always seemed a very dangerous place. Generations of films and literature have shown the people who live in the rainforests as dangerous and violent people who have a strange way of life.
[6] But actually, these people have a better understanding of their relationship with their environment than modern man has. Greed for profit by destroying the planet’s resources is a unique quality of societies that have become modern and use technology. One should then ask, who is more violent?

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and the conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course, sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquires, however, the  new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. The third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
What had bad effects on the health of the workers? (No more than 6 words)
                                                                                          
In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers? (No more than 20 words)

Parents are important elements in the children’s educational progress. They are capable of being good resources not just for children, but also for schools and teachers.
Parents can help children realize the value of education through their love and support, and most importantly, their encouragement plays an important role in educational success. So parents can be more involved in children’s classroom activities. For example, parents can help out with teaching arts and crafts(工艺美术)to preschoolers and children in grades 1-3. Asking parents to show the children their own talents and impart(传授)the knowledge on the subject they love is a good way to involve the parents in their children’s education. And as a teacher, having someone on call to help you with the cutting and gluing(粘)during a craft class will ensure a less daunting(使人畏缩的)job.
Having parent volunteers around when organizing activities for children is definitely an advantage. Organizing field trips, outings, community services, camps, etc., can be a daunting task when you are the only member responsible for catering to the needs of a large group of children. At such times, asking parent volunteers to help out with the basic requirements makes perfect sense. You can even ask them to stay together with students on camping and field trips or help with community services. And activities which allow them to mix freely with the children will help them understand the needs of the children better.

How parent volunteers can help in classroom activities
Help in teaching arts and crafts
·Parents can be asked to       their talents and knowledge with the children on the subject they love.
·Parents can help cut and glue in a craft class.
 
Help in organizing activities
·Parents can help take       for catering to the children’s basic needs during activities.
·Parents can       students on camping and field trips or help with community services.
·______mixing with the children in activities can give parents a better
understanding of their children’s needs.
Help in
   
classroom
activities,
etc.
·Parents can help restock what is     
for arts and crafts.
·Parents can help tune musical instruments, organize the library and the children’s artwork.
·Make parents feel it comfortable to do the assignments in order to       
their feelings being offended.
Help in
   
research or surveys
·Parent volunteers can be employed to help find out the children’s feelings and       about the school.
·Both research and surveys are     
to make the school environment-
friendly and home-like.

Asking parent volunteers to keep records of classroom activities, the resources used, etc., is a good way of making good use of them. Ask them to help out with restocking(补充)the materials needed for arts and crafts. You can even ask them to help tune musical instruments, organize the library and the children’s artwork. Make sure that they are comfortable doing the work assigned(布置)to them, after all, you would not want to offend(冒犯)their feelings.
School is considered as a second home, and there is a constant need to conduct research or surveys to find out whether the children are comfortable in school and what they think of it. A better way to do this is to employ parent volunteers to complete the task. Ultimately(最重要地), the goal of research or surveys is to make the school environment-friendly and home-like. Thus, it makes sense to conduct research or surveys with the help of parent volunteers.
It goes without saying that you ought to thank the parent volunteers for all their help. To conclude, I agree with the saying,“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Quality after-school programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and other high-risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime, drug-taking, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting different kinds of fields of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage matters -- young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, skill building meaningful involvement, expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment, encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs have a promising future, how they are designed and run matters.

[1]In a study likely to make school caretakers embarrassed, U.S. researchers said that chewing gum may help improve performances of teenagers. Many schools ban chewing gum because children often throw away the sticky chaw under chairs or tables. But the study found that students who chewed gum during math class had higher scores on a math test and better grades than students who did not chew gum in the class.
[2]“For the first time, we’ve been able to show in a real-life kind of situation that students did perform better when they were allowed to chew,”said Gil Leveille, director of the Wrigley Science Institute. Wrigley has gotten feedback from many of its gum customers who say chewing gum helps them stay focused.
[3]The researchers studied four math classes(108 students aged 13 to 16).About one half got free Wrigley’s sugar-free gum to chew during class, homework and tests. They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 percent of the time they were in math class and 36 percent of the time they were doing homework. The other half_____________.
[4]After 14 weeks, the gum chewers had a 3 percent increase in their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test, a small but significant change. As a matter of fact, the gum chewers did get better final grades in the class than their non-chewing peers.
[5]Leveille said chewing gum helps reduce stress, so students can do their best work. And while he is aware that many schools have a dim view on students’ chewing gum in class, he hopes the findings may change that a bit.
[6]“It’s not a matter of chewing. It’s a matter of gum disposal(处理),”Leveille said, adding that it can be overcome by teaching proper disposal methods. If that failed, he joked, “We’ll have to provide the cleaners with scrapers(刮刀)”

How we look and how we appear to others probably worry us more when we arc in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life.Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner.If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.
Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did.The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we arc constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we arc odd or dull.
What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion.Take hats for example- In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside.In recent times,   President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.
There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion.In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable.After World War Ⅱ , they dropped to ankle length.Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion.After a few more years, skirts became longer again.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be.It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else.Within reason, you can dress as you tike or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion.The popularity of jeans and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring us? (No more than 2 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example? (No more than 14 words)

What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts? (No more than 8 words)

Why are jeans so popular according to the writer? (No more than 10 words)

Many of us suffer needlessly when it comes to our well-being or physical health. In most cases this can be attributed to a lack of knowledge about our lifestyle to include our eating habits along with physical activity. If we learn how to keep healthy, our lives would be so much more enjoyable.
With so many places to find a fast meal, it is hard to maintain control of your eating habits when coupled with a fast pace lifestyle. We do need food to provide the energy our bodies need, but it is our choices that ultimately help or harm us. From increasingly large burgers to fried chicken, we are attacked with endless quick meals. However, we must give our body what it needs to get healthy and not what our taste buds want.
The other key component to keeping healthy is regular exercise. You don’t have to be a gym rat or anything of that nature, but you must develop some type of workout. It can be something as little as walking. Exercising just 30 minutes of your day is all you really need if you want to stay healthy. You can do as little as 3 to 4 days a week or make it a daily routine.
Our bodies are not equipped to deal with stress on a routine basis. Constant stress can lead to a rise in blood pressure which increases your chance for a stroke or a heart attack. It also affects the blood cells that aid in fighting infections. These weaken cells leave you helpless against common colds, other illnesses, and medical conditions. Therefore, you should learn to relax yourself by spending some time every day chatting with your family, playing with your friends or just watching a film or listening to some soft music.
There is no big secret on how to keep healthy. If you take care of your body, it will do the same for you in return. It is best that you take every measure possible to lead a healthy lifestyle. Keep healthy by treating your body right.
Title: On _________

In college, Spring Break(春假)is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy(识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate(融合)their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.
In the spring of 2006, about 3,600 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.
Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and the Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”
The Program began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.
