Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.

● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.

Yu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.
Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.
When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.
To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.
Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”

Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.
Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.
Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "
But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”
If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and
nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "
8. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year?
A. She can rent a car to go around.
B. She has to pay more insurance fees.
C. She can join in all kinds of activities.
D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.
9. What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?
A. His old age.
B. His lack of money.
C. His poor health.
D. His in sociable personality.
10. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?
A. It is a non-profit traveling organization.
B. It offers service to a wide range of travelers.
C. It has a history of more than seven decades.
D. Its main customers are senior travelers.
11. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?
A. Opposed.
B. Supportive.
C. Tolerant.
D. Objective.
D
Conducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.
It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.
Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.
So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source. Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.
12. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?
A. Be gentle with the source.
B. Carry on a long conversation.
C. Make the conversation interesting.
D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.
13. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. give away
B. leave out
C. get rid of
D. take up
14. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?
A. A direct quote.
B. An important point of view.
C. A piece of basic information.
D. Something funny a source says interestingly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The job of a journalist.
B. The process of interviewing.
C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Do you believe in aliens? During the 1980s, hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England. Many people thought they were created by aliens from outer space. What were these circles?____16____ Scaring Circles
Hundreds of geometrical patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields like magic. The most common theory was that they were made by spaceships. Two scientists, Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject.____17____By the end of the 1980s, crop circles had become a mystery; and there were regular reports in the press and on television.
Conflict
____18____Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer, while others claimed the circles were caused by helicopters. Specialists thought the symbols were from ancient writings. However, no one could really offer a convincing explanation. Eventually, the Koestler Foundation offered 5,000 pounds for a definitive solution.
The Peak
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles. Delgado and Andrews released their bestseller “Circular Evidence". And a team of scientists arrived to record circle-making in action. That year,
the crop circles were even more complex than the ones before. The hit of the year came on 12th July
when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.____19____But the mystery was about to
be settled.
An Explanation
One day that same year, a group of famous circle exports set up monitoring equipment on a hill in Wiltshire.____20____Amazingly, the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them, without the team recording anything. Worse still, when the researchers entered the circles, they found man-made tools in the centre of each circle, which seemed to prove that the circles had been made by humans.
A. And who had made them?
B. The answers puzzled many people.
C. Crop specialists were as confused as ever.
D. Since then, a great many more crop circles have appeared.
E. They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.
F. Apart from the alien theories, there were other suggestions too.
G. They were convinced the circles were the work of an “unknown intelligence".
