阅读理解。                         How much ancient forest (原始森林) do you have in your home?
      Are you sleeping on illegal trees-trees from the Congo? Is your kitchen table made from wood, which
has started social conflict in a distant African country? Are you literally flushing an ancient forest down the
toilet? Check out our interactive Forest House to see exactly where your household goods come from and
the forest-friendly alternatives.
     The Earth"s ancient forests are unique, centuries old regions that support countless plant and animal
species as well as native communities. But they are rapidly vanishing (消失) as the demand for wood and
paper grows. In fact, only 20 percent of the world"s ancient forests remain-a very scary statistic. Our
comfy houses are contributing to the problem-in Europe, 50 percent of the tropical wood used in our
furniture, doors and window frames is logged illegally, often from irresponsibly managed ancient forests.
This wood often fuels corruption and social conflict and destroys the homes of endangered or
undiscovered species.
      Our interactive Forest House is a room-by-room (and garden) guide to wood in household products,
featuring everything from flowerboxes to guitars. You can also learn exactly why wood is "good" or "bad"
and print out our one-pager to stick on the fridge and check before you make that trip to IKEA. The Forest
House also lets you search by product, so if you"re on the lookout for a new hat stand or toilet seat, you"ll
know you should give teak a miss.
      In general, the safest wood is always Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This means that the
wood is from a sustainable (可持续的) managed forest and that the rights of indigenous peoples are
respected during the logging process. Some homeware stores such as IKEA and Home Depot (in the US)
have made commitments to only source FSC certified wood for their products. 1. Write out some wood products in your home.

A. 10%
B. 20%
C. 50%
D. 80%

阅读理解。     Early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps us to have good health. We all need fresh air.

heart. Early rising makes people able to plan the work for the day. We can"t work well without a good plan.
Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning.

阅读理解。      People have enjoyed the benefits (好处) of cycling in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for
cycling because it is flat (平坦) and so is convenient for bikes. There are also plenty of places for bicycle
parking and most streets in the city centre have a bicycle path. Today some people call Amsterdam the
"City of Bicycles: because it"s convenient for people to cycle there."
      In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody
if cars weren"t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to
save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles
white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed
to take them and use them for short journeys. When someone finished a journey they would leave the bike
there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn"t work-thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!
      However, more than thirty years later, the "white bike" is back in town this time with a computer chip to
record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new"white bike" is not
actually white but is an unusual design with bright colors. The bikes are parked at special parking place that
has enough room.
     There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have used the white
bikes. Indeed, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960, many people
around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years. 1. Why Amsterdam is called the "City of Bicycles"?[     ]
A. Because it"s convenient for people to cycle there.
B. Because there are so many bicycles there.
C. Because most streets in the city center have a bicycle path.
D. Because there are lots of places for bicycle parking. 2. The first "white bikes" plan failed because _____. [     ]
