题型:不详难度:来源:
On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

Ask lots of questions
If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!), it really pushes people away. Rather, asking lots and lots of questions makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted.
Great body language
Your body language says a lot about you - it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need!
Stay busy
Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive. Always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.
Show your pearly whites (or just smile)
Smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. I"m not kidding about this one. It"s not all about the teeth. If you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.
Wear what fits
Wear clothing that fits you. For women, wearing tight pants or shirts is not attractive. Things that just fit you and your shape are the best but not tight. Wear things that fit you nicely, please . . . And for goodness sake, both sexes, stay away from logos and printed shirts! Most people you may ask do not find this attractive. Stop being some company"s billboard(广告牌).
Be interested in other man
Be interested in the other person. Don"t talk about. If you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. And if you want to talk about yourself, you"ll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. See how fun this is?
小题1:It is your ________ that makes you attractive.
A.your family background |
B.fashionable tight clothes |
C.your appearance and your wealth |
D.proper body language and behavior |
A.always smile and show your pearly teeth |
B.keep asking lots of questions |
C.are interested in other people’s personal affairs |
D.always wear clothes that fit you |
A.gain praises from your boss and colleagues |
B.look attractive among people |
C.show that you are interested in your job |
D.get promoted in your company |
A.Wearing a shirt with printed logos |
B.Keeping talking about your own experiences and talents |

D.Smiling truly toward the people you will meet |
The small creatures which live in the Scandinavian mountains, feed on a diet of roots and special insects and live in nests they dig underground. When their food supply is large, the lemmings live a normal and undisturbed life.
However, when the lemmings’ food supply becomes too low to support the population, a singular migration(迁徙)begins. The lemmings leave their nests in groups. Great numbers of them begin to travel across the Scandinavian plains, a journey that may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in their path, continuing their long march until they reach the sea.
The reason for what follows remains unbelievable to naturalists. Upon reaching the coast, the lemmings do not stop but swim by the thousands into the sea. Most stay afloat only a short time before they tire, sink and drown.
A common theory for this mass self-killing is that the lemmings do not realize that the ocean is such a huge body of water in their cross-country journey, the animals must cross many smaller bodies of water, such as rivers and small lakes. They may think that the sea is just another such swimmable path to go through. But no final answer has been found to the strange happening.
小题1:The passage is mainly about______.
A.how lemmings find food |
B.why animals kill themselves |
C.the lemmings’ self-killing |
D.the food supply in the Scandinavian mountains |
A.go mad from a lack of food |
B.hope to find fish for food |
C.decide to reduce the population |
D.think they can cross the sea |
A.Because they are the only animals that live in Scandinavia. |
B.Because it is very unusual for animals to kill themselves. |
C.Because of the amount of food they can eat on their march to the sea. |
D.Because they can gather together in such huge numbers. |
A.unusual | B.single | C.wonderful | D.common |
This seems like a simple question and there are plenty of reasons we choose plastic: easier to carry, lighter than paper bags, possibly less damaging to the environment, less expensive to the shop owners, able to be used as trash bag, and so on. There are different opinions on plastic and paper. Now let’s follow the travels of 3 plastic bags. It begins at the grocery store with the customer’s choice.
Plastic Bag 1: As the waste engineer come by and pick up the trash, the first plastic bag falls out. It sits on a small street for a couple of hours until a car comes along and takes it down to the road. Then a gust of wind blows it across the road, then another car, then another gust of wind finally makes its way to the beach. Water fills the plastic bag and makes it look like a jellyfish. A seal(海豹) swims by, thinking it looks very interesting, and swallowed it. The plastic bag may stay in the seal’s stomach for months, maybe years. You see, our lovely animals have been living thousands of years in a world where everything can be eaten.
Plastic Bag 2: This bag does make its way to landfill(垃圾场). Before they have a chance to cover up the thousands of pounds of daily waste, a strong wind comes up and blows these plastic bags out of the landfill. Once the wind stops, workers will be sent to collect thousands of bags around. But they can’t possibly get them all. So our little bag continues his adventure getting caught in trees, eaten by birds or making its way to our lakes or rivers.
Plastic Bag 3: The last bag also blows away but is caught in a landfill where it sits for many years, as all the trash is wrapped in a big plastic bag, making natural degradation(降解) impossible. Although workers do much work to make sure water and air system won’t be polluted, some do. Guess what, plastic bags are made from petrol, a harmful waste material, which in one way or another makes its way to the environment.
Another problem with putting plastic bags in out trash is that our landfills for most cities may be filled in about 20 years. More importantly, since we are running out of land to build homes, you might have the pleasure of one day living on top of your plastic bags!
One of the best suggestions is not to use a bag at all or bring your own cloth bags. If you must, please choose paper bags, which, though not suggested, can be eaten by animals. And there are more opportunities recycle paper bags. It does take a little extra effort. But please have a thought about the little seal next time you say, “Plastic please.”
小题1:According to the passage, what is NOT the reason for a customer to choose plastic bags?
A.He can use plastic bags to carry trash later. |
B.He finds paper bags heavier than plastic bags. |
C.He finds plastic bags more convenient to carry. |
D.He can save money for plastic bags are cheaper. |
A.seals like eating plastic bags around them. |
B.seals really have a good stomach. |
C.seals are potential victims of plastic bags. |
D.seals are not able to differ plastic from food. |
A.still does harm to the environment |
B.can hardly be harmful to the environment |
C.is much safer than Plastic Bag2 |
D.will end up being eaten by seals or some fish |
A.Suggestions on reducing harm of plastic bags. |
B.Disadvantages of using too many plastic bags. |
C.Persuading people into using paper bags. |
D.Other potential victims of plastic bags. |
A.Excited | B.Serious | C.Ironical | D.Casual |
Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries— as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.
The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.
Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.
The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”
But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.
小题1:What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?
A.Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people. |
B.Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods. |
C.Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression. |
D.Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences. |
A.About twenty-six thousand people participated in it. |
B.The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over. |
C.Most of the participants had depression when the study was over. |
D.The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end. |
A.can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks |
B.is used to reduce the risk of depression |
C.is mainly used to make fruit punch |
D.is used to make something .sweet |
A.more research is needed to confirm the new findings |
B.the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findings |
C.cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depression |
D.the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits |
A.Sodas. |
B.Unsweetened coffee. |
C.Sugary coffee. |
D.Fruit punch. |
