The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior(举止) , ” said a middle-aged man.‎ ‎“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”‎ Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please?

What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more harm than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a ‎ lot to do with the recycling of ideas. Environmental unrest isn't the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world. Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I'm guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers (博主) of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever-increasing mass of digital smog (烟雾). ‎ The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated (饱和), leaving you nothing but a pile of mess. In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond "just recycled". Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbors' ideas.      For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with you. 8. Which of the following is TRUE about top bloggers of today according to the writer? A.They don't recycle their ideas. B.They tend to express many fresh ideas. C.They are not worth much respect. D.They make good use of others' ideas. 9. The 5th paragraph mainly talks about _____. A. the bad effects of recycling ideas B. the good effects of stopping recycling C. how to stop recycling ideas D. how to recycle good ideas online 10. This passage is written mainly for _____. A. top bloggers B. common bloggers C. environment polluters D. net researchers 11. The main purpose of this passage is _____. A.to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection B.to prove that the Web environment is becoming worse and worse C.to warn people not to pollute our Web environment with bad words D.to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating D October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical ‎ moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food. Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing (PPPHW). The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soap is equally effective in removing disease-causing germs (细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a little water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth. The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again. It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (疟疾),which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year. 12. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage? A. To keep healthy by washing hands. B. To wash hands with soap. C. To take action to wash hands. D. To wash hands often. 13. Which of the following is the right way to wash hands? a. Washing hands well. b. Covering hands with soap. c. Drying hands. d. Rubbing hands with soap. e. Wetting hands. A. a―c―b―e―d B. e―d―a―b—c C. a―c―b―d―e D. e―b―d―a―c 14.Which fact can NOT explain why soap is important? A. It gives people a longer handwashing time. B. It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands. C. It attracts people to do more handwashing. D. It gets all people into the habit of washing hands. 15. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that ________. A. kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year B. causes the greatest number of child deaths C. can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soap D. can’t be cured without washing hands 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。‎ Heat or cold: Which is better?‎ While running today, you hurt your ankle (脚踝). 16 But which one should you use? The right form of treatment is different depending on your type of injury and when it happened. When you’re trying to decide, ask yourself the following questions:‎ ‎※ 17 ‎ ‎※ Is your pain new or have you had it for a while?‎ If the pain began within the past 48 hours, it could be from sudden trauma (创伤).

But first cover the pack in a thin towel, so the cold won’t damage your skin. 19 Then take a 10-minute break at least before using it again.‎ When to use heat When a pain returns often or continues for a long time, heat is the answer. 20 The pain often results from using that body part too much or in the wrong way.‎ Heat is also a great help to joint (关节) pains.
