Why is clean water so important to developing countries?A recent report shows that about 80percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation(卫生)conditions.In those countries,women and girls spend several hours collecting water,but often polluted,far away from their families.The polluted water more or less influences their health.In this case,there is an urgent(迫切的)need for people in developing countries to have access to(有机会或权利使用)clean water to improve their health.
Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari,a 12﹣year﹣old girl in Niger.Having access to clean water changed her life.She learned about the importance of hand﹣washing when the school first received clean water three years ago.That evening,she told her father,"You shouldn't eat with me unless you clean your hands."Her father was very angry and shouted at her,"It's not up to you to tell me what to do!"Stunned(目瞪口呆的),Hadjara sat in silence.But she knew she was right.In protest,Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night.After her father questioned Hadjara's head teacher,he understood the importance of hand﹣washing and his daughter's intentions(目的).The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.
For people in developing countries,clean water can change many things,especially improve their health.So,from now on,let's avoid wasting water and take action to save water,which is important to people all over the world.

All living things on the earth need other living things to live with. Nothing lives . Sometimes one living thing kills . Each kind of life eats another kind of life live, and together they form a food chain(食物链). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become if one of the links disappears.
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use directly(直接地). They make food from sunlight, water, air and so on. Animals can only use the sun’s energy it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants. Others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them be eaten. If people eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards.But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses.
Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java, made this decision in April 2018.Now,locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus.A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report.Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day.The head of Surabaya's transportation department(交通部门) said,"With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment, especially people's awareness about plastic waste."
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day.The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city.This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure.
The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020.In order to encourage local people to take buses,the city also added the new Suroboyo buses.The new buses are air﹣conditioned,comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off.
The program is well received.People in Surabaya said,"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it. It is a win﹣win situation."
This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过六个词.
(1)Instead of money, how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now?
(2)How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost?
(3)How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day?
(4)What is the purpose of the new program?
(5)What do local people think of the new program?

In 1988,Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life,he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla,Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.

"When it comes to the Earth,there is no time to waste."says the Earth Day Network.And that is right.Protecting our environment is very important,and World Earth Day was created in 1970to ask more people to protect our environment.On April 22,people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic,and this year it is "Trees for the Earth",so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees.They are planning to plant 7.8billion trees within the next five years
That's a big goal,and you might wonder why trees are so important.Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量).CO2is a chemical in our atmosphere,but humans make too much of it.Each person makes about 2.3tons a year,which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees.Last year,there were 3trillion trees in the world,about 139billion in China.But according to China Daily,the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization(文明) began.That's because 15billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for(弥补)the ones we lost.One tree can take in 21.8kilograms of CO2 per year.And it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) or water we use every day.Every little thing helps.

Last week,Chicago became the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan".People turned off the lights in the city's tallest buildings,so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.Every year in autumn,some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds.Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky.Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars.This means they can not find the right way to go home.
This month,about 300types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter.Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons.Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places.But there are other reasons,too.Birds need to look for food in the south.Another reason is that they want to have baby birds.Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same "house" they lived in last year,so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600kinds of birds migrate(迁徙).Some birds can fly a very long way.Sometimes they fly to other countries.We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
64.Why did people in Chicago turn off their last week?
A.Because people wanted to save money.
B.Because people liked the dark night.
C.Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.
D.Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.
65.What does the underlined word "migrate" mean in Chinese?
A.迁徙
B.定居
C.冬眠
D.重生

67.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

What do you do with your rubbish?Throw it out?You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited (展示) in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art,on the other hand,is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art,however,are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal,wood,cloth,and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still,they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful,useful,and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling,but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand,in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.
Even if you don't create art out of rubbish,it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules:reduce,reuse,recycle.If you reduce waste,true things instead of throwing them out,and recycle materials such as paper,plastic,and glass,you will protect the environment.
