In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowde d with people standing. I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It was n’t long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn’t anyone helping him?His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain­clothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.A man doesn’t value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

As is known to us all, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in anup-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad thi ngs from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in and what’s out.【文章大意】本文主要讲述青少年如何受偶像的影响以及偶像们也受青少年的影响这种社会现象, 以此警示家长们正确利用偶像对孩子们的影响。

don’t have access to books!For several years till now,Maria Keller,a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis,Minnesota,has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old,Maria already loved reading.She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did.When she asked her mother why that could be,her mother said that they might not be able to afford books.Maria had never thought of this.She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them.She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help,Maria created Read Indeed.Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute books to children in need.During the early stages of Read Indeed,Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she is 18.It didn’t take that long for her to reach that goal!Today,at age 14,she has collected over 1.8 million books and has shipped them to many statesand countries around the world.She s ays,“I cannot live without books.As I continue my mission (使命),I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions.So I just can’t give up,even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She’s recen tly set a new goal:to distribute books to kids in need in every state in the United States,and every country in the world.She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where she stores and sorts books.Maria believes that she can get support from even more people!1.What had Maria never thought of before she was eight?A.Some of her

around.But don’t worry.They’re not mad.It’s all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British comedians,the aim of the event is to raise money to fight povertyand injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows.For example,David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction,which the band produced for the event.Britons don’t just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year,but they do it all year round.One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops.These small shops sell clothes,books and household goods j ust like any other shop except that they’re all second-hand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK.Their business model is simple:anybody who has things they don’t want anymore can donate them to a charity shop,where they are checked for damage,cleaned and priced.The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant,but for shoppers who have less spending money,it has been a welcome option.Now,shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion.“You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn’t bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them,”said Anne Marie,a 19-year-old girl from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop,why not go inside?Who knows,you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better,you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge

world.Unfortunately，bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey.Honey, shockingly，does not exist for human consumption；it is essential to the insects.Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱)in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period.They collect pollen(花粉)which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board，the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year.These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today，including apples，grapes，coffee, beans，and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture，why do they keep dying off？A key suspect seems to be pesticides(农药)．Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological(神经系统的)functions, specifically memory or behavior.And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen，plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen.There are several other causes of the decline of bees，including the destruction of natural habitats，like woodlands，forests，and other habitats for bees.Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually，there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow.One way is to start your own organic garden by planting bee­friendly plants.Pesticides are u sed in both industrial practices and even in your home，so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.1．Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?A．To provide enough honey for humans to consume.B．To draw protein out of honey for young bees.C．To help attract other insects and make hives stronger.D．To strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.2．Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that ________.A．bees supply human beings with basic foodB．bees mainly live on these agricultural cropsC．bees are of great importance to fruits and vegetablesD．bees can bring in more money for farmers every year3．What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?A．The lack of food.B．The abuse of pesticides.C．The fighting among bees.D．The destruction of the habitats.4．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A．Another way to save bees.B．Other tips for choosing seeds.C．More methods to plant green organic fruits.D．Causes of the decline in the wild bee population.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
