As a young volunteer, Alice got her experience by working at a city service station. The service station where she volunteered is located at the New World Tower on Huaihai Zhong Road. Each day, thousands of people passed through this area, including tourists from other Chinese provinces and foreign countries, many of whom were in Shanghai for the first time, many visitors came to the station and asked for information about the Expo.In order to make every customer enjoy the excellent service, Alice and other volunteers designed several paper boards showing the routes from the New World Tower to every Expo entrance as well as the information about the buses connecting to the Expo site. They also made several paper cards to show the Expo ticket offices and the nearby Expo product stores. With these useful tools, Alice has become a Expo expert, offering the most accurate and helpful information for Expo visitors in different languages including Mandarin(普通话)，English and Japanese.One day, a family of four people from Wuhan asked her how to get to the China Pavilion reservation(预约) tickets. Based on the location of the hotel where they stayed, Alice worked out a special action plan for them.

They were focusing on the task they planned to complete.They wanted to start a school garden at Jefferson Middle School. At first, it was Drew’s idea. He first saw a school garden during his visit to his cousin P.J. in Washington. He was amazed at the variety of fruits and vegetables the students at P.J.’s school grew. “It’s a lot of work,” P.J. had warned. “But it’s also my favorite part of the week.”When Drew returned from his trip to Washington, he told Emilio and Mike all about what he had seen. Now the three of them decided to make a plan to bring a school garden to Jefferson. Drew opened his notebook and prepared to record any ideas they had to let Mr. Milano, the school headmaster, agree that the garden was a good idea.“We are going to need a teacher to give us some advice,” said Drew. “I know that Mr. Hasselbach does gardening at home. Just last week he brought in a whole basket of tomatoes from his garden. We can ask him for help.” Drew wrote down Mr. Hasselbach’s name in his notebook.“We might need some money to get the project running,” added Mike. “We could tell Mr. Milano that we will organize a book sale to raise money.”“That’s a great idea,” said Emilio. “I think my aunt can help us design the garden, select plants, and create a budget（预算）.”Drew made some more notes. “P.J. mentioned that the students at his school cooked meals with the vegetables from their garden. We can do the same. And if we tell Mr. Milano that what we learn in the science lessons can be practiced in the garden, he will probably accept our plan.”1.

牛津英语8A 阅读理解和完形填空练习（10.4）It’s important to learn about protecting our environment . Here is a 5R rule for us:1. ReduceIf you want to reduce waste , you should use things wisely . Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper . If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throws it out , soon we would not have any trees left . Other things are also being wasted , and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities . So it is necessary to reduce the waste .2. ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out . Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor . Within a family , you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters .3.RecycleBottles , cans and paper can easily be recycled . By doing so we save lots of time and money . For example , coke cans are sent to a factory , where they are smashed flat and melted and the metal things are made for new coke cans .4.RecoverWhen you buy a box of apples , there may be a few rotten apples , you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away , or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts . In this way , you recover the eatable parts of food .5.RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken , you can repair it instead of throwing the table away . If you want to change for better ones , it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair . It is true that North America is a “throw-aw ay” society , but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment . Every one of us should try our best .( )61.Which of the following is true ?A.We’ll have no resources of nature unless we can deal with the w aste .B.Recycling is the best way to save resources .C.If we waste less , we can save more resources of nature .D.More things are wasted in developed countries than in de-veloping countries ( )62.The “Reuse” rule mainly requires us .A.not to throw away our thingsB.to make full use of our thingsC.to use our things again and againD.to give our things to those who want them ( )63. can be recycled .A.Few soft thingsB.Only hard thingsC.Many thingsD.All things( )64.We can infer(猜想) that the writer of this passage may live in .A.ChinaB.JapanC.AustraliaD.America ( )65.The “Recover” rule mainly requ ires us .A.to get back the useful partsB.to cover waste things with earthC.to throw waste things awayD.to throw the whole things awayModern life is impossible without traveling.
