When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small vil lage in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage （行
李）, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of t he rules is that young people should always respect(尊
敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassm ent in the United States.
I had a part-
time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-
aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I sai d that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a l ong lecture about how sensitive(敏
感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. Afte
r the couple heard my reason, they understood that the proble m was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and w ere no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not s o many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who re ach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Y oung people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to ke ep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or j ogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. Wh en I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had faile d to stay young. I had told the
m something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them , but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

nted him to do so

D. he wanted more pay

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加
纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every m orning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water fo r her family in a
village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean wa ter for daily(日
常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or t o play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also rem ember it. The water we use is the most important natural reso urce(自然资
源) on the earth.Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very man y things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. Y ou probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. W e all face serious water problems. One of them is water polluti on. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is ver y bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. N ow, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they p ollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that
in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t h ave enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙
头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you’ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your was hing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!

A. before she went to school

13. On the earth, _______.
A. sea water is widely used than fresh water
B. we don’t nee d to worry about water
C. there is 71% of fresh water
D. there is very little water for our living
14. Acid rain _______.
A. is only bad for living things
B. can be produced in factories
C. doesn’t just do harm to human beings but to animals, plant s and buildings
D. doesn’t do harm to people, but it’s bad for plants, animals a nd buildings
15. What’s the main idea of the passage?
