own. So it needs proper treatment(对待) and proper nourishment(营养).
The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C (维生素C). Many people take extra(额外的) vitamins in the form of pills(药丸), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins. So why waste money on them?
In the modern western world many people are too busy to care about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illness caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.
B. apple can take the place of doctors.
C. eating apples regularly (有规律的) does lots of good to our health.
D. an apple is a sure cure for illness.
B. often eating apples is a good habit.
C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless.

more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.
Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, "They must
think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people
to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don"t have a car? Walk?"
The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy-handedness (笨拙).
It is to be carried out by the Tory-led council (市政厅) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is
already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the
trial.
Wokingham officials have told residents that 75-litre bags will be given to each household and
anything not left in them will not be collected.
"Every household will receive 80 bags every year," it said. "You can buy extra bags in rolls of
ten but this will not be encouraged."
Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles
and so on.
Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to
recycling points. Green waste pick-ups cost an extra £60 a year.
The council has told residents it will save £922,000 a year under the new system. There will be
no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next April.

In Australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned.
It was hunted to near extinction(灭绝)for its fur. In fact the koala had been wiped out from South
Australia in the 1920s. However, ehabilitation efforts have brought the animal back in the state. As
for the Australian government, the koala is not a threatened animal, but the US government does list
the koala as one.
Almost everyone finds koala adorable in the zoo. However, as far as having koala bears as pets
is concerned, there are legal issues to consider. Other than that, being able to provide for its diet and
habitat is another point that needs some attention before any law legalizing their adopting as pets is passed.
B. Grateful.
C. Negative.
D. Enthusiastic.
B. To eat its meat.
C. To wipe it out.
D. To have it for fun.
B. koala bear care can be very demanding
C. koala bears are not particular about their food.
D. koala bears are the No.1 threatened animal in the US.
have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market.
Toyota"s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let"s have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a
rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional
gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially
designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a
traditional car. At this point, the car"s gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide
power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an
electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go
electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas
pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the
gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the
electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries.
As a consequence, the car"s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
B. introduce a new kind of “green” car
C. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
B. China is still young and lacking experience
C. China"s new cars are combinations of different green models
D. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
B. The car"s gasoline engine doesn"t work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
C. This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
D. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.
B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
D. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.
B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
C. The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
D. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.

Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People
do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.
National Solid Wastes Management Association(NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says
the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic
items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填
埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, "There are a lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and
reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that
should not really be in the landfill," Fannon explained.
Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was
only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from
landfills in an effort to keep e-waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury(汞) out of garbage dumps.
This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25
other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both. Chaz Miller says more
can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.
"We can do much better," noted Miller. "I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do
recycling newspapers."
B. Old computers.
C. Old cell phones
D. Old newspapers.
B. Because it might damage the environment.
C. Because it can be shipped to other countries.
D. Because the landfills are already full.
B. Selling it.
C. Burying it.
D. Breaking it.
B. Chaz Miller works for EPA.
C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.
D. Experts are optimistic about the future of e-waste.
Tomatoes are the world"s most popular fruit rich in nutrition like Vitamin A, C, fibre and lycopene
(番茄红素). Researchers have found that consuming lycopene helps in preventing cancer. Tomato
also helps in keeping the skin healthy and young by protecting from harmful rays. Since lycopene is
present in the cellular wall of tomato, it is better to consume cooked tomato to have higher concentration
of lycopene. So tomatoes are a wonderful fruit.
Then how to grow tomatoes? First, there should be regular and even watering in the fields where
tomatoes grow. You can also add fertilizer to have better results. Plant the tomato plants with enough
space(for example 2 to 3 inch space)between each other to lessen spreading of disease and pests and
help the fruits get enough sunlight. Provide support like pole when the plants grow up to prevent from
disease and to increase the crop product.
In order to make your tomatoes grow well, you should take some useful tips. For example, choose
variety based on the season and soil type that you are growing. Planting site should have enough sunlight
to have more fruits. Prune(修剪)the tomato plants if necessary to maintain a manageable size. Check
tomato plants regularly for any kind of pests and diseases.
To people"s regret, tomatoes possibly suffer from some diseases during their growth. So you must try
your best to prevent them. Soil should be free from debris(残骸)of earlier plant remains and should be
treated first before tomato plantation like solarizing(晒) to prevent from pests. It is always better to
choose resistant plant varieties and follow crop rotation(轮作)as far as possible.
