(A)
A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.
One day, when he was walking along the shore〔海岸〕, he saw a young man moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?〞 The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.〞“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?〞
“The sun is up and the tide〔潮汐〕is going out. And if I don’t throw them , they’ll die.〞
“But, young man, don’t you real ize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!〞
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for th at one.〞
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted〔赋予〕 with the ability to make a difference.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

Once the old woman was ill and had to be in hospital. Her daughter went to look
after her there. Two months later she came back, all their rooms were in a fearful mess(混乱不堪). She couldn’t tidy them and told her so to do it. The young man didn’t answer her. She said nothing and stayed in bed.
It was a Friday evening. Mrs Turner was free. She wanted to go to dance. She began to look for her new sweater, but she didn’t find it. She saw Mr Turner watching TV and asked him to help her. The young man didn’t do it.
“Our sheet(床单) isn’t clean,〞 said the woman. “You’d better wash it tomorrow.〞
“I’ll be busy,〞 said the man. “Turn it over!〞

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions(表达) about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someome looks very proud(骄傲的), we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.〞
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse〞 with someone, it means that you change your action. For example, a girl might offer (提供) something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he tries to get it.
Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow〞 or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)〞 to say something that is the best or finest. “A copycat〞 is someone who acts just like someone else or copies(抄) another person’s work.
“A fat cat〞 is a person with a lot of money.
What do children usually do in a classroom when their teacher leaves for
a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play〞 means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision(监管).
( )53. The passage(短文) is maily about ________.
A. cats
B. expressions about cats
C. how people like cats
D. Americans and cats
( )54. What will the students do when the teacher leaves?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it is harmful to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less〞. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from
abroad.
Reuse means “use again〞. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else〞. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
