In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive (生存).
Everyone realizes today that more and more fish are caught because of modern fishing methods. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise so fast, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow plants can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control. Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.

By good management, however, she tried to do well and also to send Henry, the oldest, to school, and to supply him, for the most part, with such books as he needed.
, Henry wanted a grammar book, in order to join a class in that study, and his mother could not help him with the money to buy it. He was very worried about it, and went to bed with a heavy heart thinking what could be done.
On waking in the morning, he found that a deep snow had fallen, and the cold wind was blowing strongly. “Ah,” said he, “it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.”
He rose, ran to house of a neighbour, and offered his service to clear a path around his houses. The offer was accepted. Having completed this work, and received his pay, he went to another place for the same purpose, and then to another, until he had earned enough money to buy a grammar book.
When school began, Henry was in his seat, the happiest boy there, ready to begin the lesson in his new book.
From that time, Henry was always the first in all his classes. He knew no such word as fail, but was always successful in all he had tried.Was Henry the only child in his family?

Do you know Chai Jing? She is a former news hostess from CCTV. Recently, her latest documentary Under the Dome(穹顶之下)has aroused wide public attention. As we all know, smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities.
The 103-minute film was published on websites on Feb 28, 2015. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials(官员) and scientists. She says that burning too much coal and oil is the main cause of PM2.5 and smog.
To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards for environmental protection, Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles(颗粒)to pollute the air.
To solve the problem, Chai suggests that factories should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy.
In her film, Chai also thought that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transportation or if we see something that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it.
What can we do to help beat the smog?
＊Take public transportation.
＊Call the hotline 12369 for complaints about environmental problems.
＊Clean the cooking area regularly to avoid extra harmful gas.
＊Take a picture of any pollutant source and post it on your social media accounts.
＊Add “@local environmental departments” on weibo.
＊Don’t buy products made from factories that pollute the environment.
Chen Jinjing, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. He said, “This film encourages us to care more about the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

Coffee has been a part of people’s lives for thousands of years, and today it is still a favourite drink of millions of people in the world. Coffee is so popular ,but do you know the story of coffee and how it was discovered?
There is an old story that says coffee was discovered in Africa long ,long time ago. One day, a farmer was watching his goats, and he saw them eat some small berries(干种子)from a plant. After they ate the berries, the goats became very active. The man often felt tired ,so he decided to try the berries too. Surprisingly, he did not feel tired any more. Coffee plants were thus discovered. Then coffee was taken from Africa to Arabia(阿拉伯半岛),and there it was first used as medicine. The Arabs kept coffee a secret for many years. Later ,coffee came to Turkey(土耳其),then Italy, then France. From Europe, the coffee plant was taken to America. People found that coffee plants grew well in many parts of South America, so large coffee farms were started, and many coffee plants were grown. On these farms, coffee beans were picked from the plants by hand. Then the beans were dried and prepared for market to sell. Different coffee beans were mixed together to produce different kinds of coffee. Coffee was sent to all over the world, and soon became very popular.
Answer each of the following questions in No More Than 6 Words.Where did coffee come from?

Celebrating New Year’s Day is one of the oldest and most exciting traditions around the world. Since this festival marks the beginning of the year, New Year’s Day is thought of as a perfect time for a “clean start”. People in the world decide to act better in the year just beginning than the year just ended.
No day has ever been celebrated in so many different ways. All over the world, countries have their own special beliefs about what the New Year means to them.
In Scotland, the New Year is called Hogmanay. In the villages of Scotland, barrels of tar (沥青) are set on fire. It represents that the old year is burned up and the new one is allowed to enter.
New Year’s Day is also the Festival of Saint Basil in Canada. Children leave their shoes by the fireside on New Year’s Day with the hope that Saint Basil, who is famous for his kindness, will come and fill their shoes with gifts.
The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is an important time when Jews promise to do better in the future. Special services are held in the church, children are given new clothes and New Year bread is cooked to remind people of harvest time.
On New Year’s Day in Japan, everyone gets dressed in their new clothes and homes are decorated with bamboos—symbols of long life.
In European countries such as Germany, France and Belgium, families start the New Year by first attending church services. Afterwards, they visit friends and relatives. In France, boys and girls receive gifts of money on New Year’s Day.

What is a hurricane?
You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的)waves，wind，and rain．They happen during“Hurricane Season，”which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Categories (类别) of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed，the more dangerous the storm．For example，a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour，which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely．
Hurricane Dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall，there can be a devastating flood．The centre of a hurricane is called the eye．While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds，the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm．When the eye of a hurricane passes over land，people might think that it’s over，but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through．
Hurricane Safety Tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction，so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane，be sure to remember the following safety tips．
·Be sure you have a radio，batteries，fresh drinking water，and enough food．
·Tell neighbors，friends，and family members your emergency plans．Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home．
·If you live near the ocean，leave your home and travel to a safe place．You could stay with a friend or a family member，in a hotel／motel，or in an emergency shelter area．
·Stay inside during the storm．You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside．

Many of us have ever loved the two toy bears—a brown Teddy bear and a yellow Winnie-the-Pooh bear. The two toy bears come from real stories in life.
In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the USA, went on hunting. The hunting dogs found an old bear in the forest near Washington D.C. and the guide asked the president to shoot it. But President Roosevelt disagreed. A cartoonist (漫画家) drew a cartoon showing that the president refused to shoot the bear. Soon, the bear began to appear in other newspapers. People named the bear Teddy which was Theodore’s nickname (昵称).
In 1913, a captain named Harry Cole bourn paid 20 dollars for a black bear which was born in the Canadian country side. The captain’s hometown, Winnipeg, was the origin (起源) of the bear’s name. In Winnipeg, Winnie served as the mascot (吉祥物). When World War I began, the captain went to France. Winnie was sent to London Zoo which many kids often visited. Because of its lovely look, the bear became popular with children.
