Want to save the environment? You probably can’t fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day, you can make a difference,
1. Think Green. Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you’re not watching it, you’ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you’ll save water.
2. Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you’ll really use it. Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging (包装), and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
3. Dress Green. Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want. But what really matters isn’t the colour, it’s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic(有机的) cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides ( 杀虫剂).
4. Study Green. What’s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn, It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook :instead of buying a new one.

The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol.The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out.
How long and heavy can a giant panda grow to be?

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?
In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?
A.Smiling at people, saying “hello”. |
B.Sending food or opening doors by himself |
C.Fighting, climbing or running fast |
D.Collecting waste for patients |
What makes Saya look real?
A.Her face and rich expressions | B.Her clothes and shoes |
C.Her walking and running speed | D.Her rich knowledge |
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Robots have come a long way since 1986. |
B.The first robot teacher was made by Honda. |
C.Saya looks like a small astronaut. |
D.If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop. |
The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.
A.nurses would have more free time with patients |
B.robots would not take the place of humans |
C.dirty and clean work is always done by the same person |
D.mini-robots are useful for controlling infection |
The Youth Climate Summit(气候峰会) a week﹣long festival of climate action for primary and middle schools in the UK,starts on 9 November.It aims to create a fairer,more environmental world and make promises that will help the planet.Climate change is the long﹣term changes in the world's weather patterns that are mostly caused by human activity. "Unlike world leaders, "say the summit's organizers. "young people are refusing to let it drop off the plan. "
Each day has a topic,which includes food and fashion,looking at how humans harm the environment and how to save the planet.Organizations are leading some on line activities.For example,the Marine Conservation Society is hosting meetings on protecting sea fish.Separately,the environmental organization Greenpeace is running a workshop on how to turn worn﹣out clothing into something new and wearable.
The summit will finish on 13 November,when youth ambassadors(大使)wants schools to stop paper waste.Max,another 16﹣year﹣old ambassador wants schools to organize more trips and activities that get students outside to experience the beauty of nature.As part of the summit,hundreds of schools across the country are signing up to the Let's Go Zero activity,aiming to become carbon﹣zero(零碳的)by 2030.
Carbon﹣zero schools are ones that promise to stop emitting carbon in seven areas,including where they get their food and how they use water and recycle their waste.The activity is run by Ashden,a charity working towards climate solutions.Ashden hopes that schools will be able to help each other by sharing ideas and methods.It is also calling on the Government to back the promise.Head over to transform﹣our﹣world.org where you can find out more.

Prepare for Water Day Zero
Last year,Cape Town said it was facing Water Day Zero.That was the date when the city's taps would go dry.It was first expected to arrive in April,2018. Thanks to hard efforts and a rainy season,it has been put off(推迟).(1) .And it may hit cities all over the world.
How did Cape Town get into a Water Day Zero situation?The city gets its water from six reservoirs(水库).They usually fill up during the rainy season,from May through August.However,since 2015,the city had been suffering from its worst drought(旱灾)in a century.(2) .Even worse,Cape Town's population grew greatly.As a result,the need for water rose.
(3) Because of climate change,serious droughts are becoming more and more common.At the same time,people are moving to cities.The United Nations says by 2050,two thirds of the world's population will live in cities.Since 2014,southeastern Brazil has been suffering from its worst water shortage in 80 years.In Mexico City,many of the 21 million people only have running water for half of the day.
Luckily,steps can be taken to avoid water crises(危机).To start with,all of us can do something to save water and slow down climate change.(4) At the same time,water pollution must be stopped.
The world now has a chance to stop a series of Water Day Zero crises. If we don't act,many cities may soon face a time when there isn't a drop to drink.
A.Cape Town is not alone. B.The serious situation seems to be improved. C.Water levels in the reservoirs became very low. D.Cities can build more water﹣recycling factories. E.However,the problem is very likely to appear again. F.More and more countries are paying attention to the problem. |
The natural world teaches us a great deal about recycling (循环再利用). In nature, recycling happens every day. For example, when leaves fall to the ground, they will turn into compost (肥料), helping ____ grow healthily and strong. When an animal dies, it becomes food for ____ animals. Nothing is wasted. But humans have created things like plastic bags ____ can’t be broken down by nature. Our rubbish kills animals and ____ water and soil. ____ we continue making too much rubbish, the problem will only get ____ . If nature can’t reuse the rubbish, we ____ recycle it. We should clean up the rubbish we’ve made because nature can’t.
Recycling is important. In reusing material instead of throwing it away, we can also benefit from it. ____ the Earth is rich in natural materials like water and trees, these materials are not endless. We use up our natural materials much faster than the Earth is able to reproduce them. For example, each year we ____ more than 6,000 square miles of forest. But it ____ an average of 25 years for a new tree to grow.
Recycling can help us save the Earth, so let’s take action right now.
