The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning. FrankI enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it’s great because I’m just doing what I like.GemmaI love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging. As for my job –you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practice for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.RaoulMost people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it’s not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss –he shouts at me all the time –even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don’t get much time off.1. What’ s the biggest attractions of Megan’s job?A. The long holidaysB. Handing out food to people.C. Getting to know different peopleD. The pleasant working environment2. Who love working with words?A. MeganB. FrankC. GemmaD. Raoul3. What problem does Raoul face?A. His strict boss.B.

A(2018·临沂市高三教学质量检测)Many of us have desires that might seem to be beyond our abilities,but looking to those who overcame similar difficulties can be a great source of inspiration for anyone trying to live their best life.Here are some quotes(引语) from people who chased their dreams and turned them into amazing realities.Estée Lauder“I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it,but by working fo r it.”—Estée Lauder,Founder of Estée LauderFun fact:Lauder started out by helping her chemist uncle sell face creams and perfumes and turned millionaire.Oprah Winfrey“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.”—Oprah Winfrey,TV Mogul and HostFun fact:There was a time when Winfrey couldn't afford soup.Now,she is a philanthropist(慈善家)and one of the most inspiring persons of her generation.Madam C.J.Walker“Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come.Get up and make them.”—Madam C.J.Walker,Civil Rights Activist and InventorFun fact:Walker was known as the first black female millionaire after she launched her haircare line in 1905.In fact,she was the first American woman of any race to be a self-made millionaire. Sara Blakely“Embrace what you don't know,especially in the beginning,because what you don't know can become your greatest asset(财富).”—Sara Blakely,Spanx FounderFun fact:Blakely earned a Forbes cover in 2012 for being the youngest female self-made billionaire.1.Which of the following people is not a business person?A.Estée Lauder.B.Oprah Winfrey.C.Sara Blakely. D.Madam C.J.Walker.2.What can we learn from the quotes of Estée Lauder and Madam C.J.Walker?A.Well begun is half done.B.Rome was not built in one day.C.Action speaks louder than words.D.Where there is a will,there is a way.3.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A.They received advanced education.B.They are truly creative and peace-loving.C.They turned nothing into something huge.D.They achieved great success in their fields.B(2017~2018·第一学期福州市联考)If you have a chance to go to Finland,you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one,tell the driver to drop you at any place,say that you have some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests,but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free,so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check,you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss at the rate.From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”.But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honestaccount of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do,living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.4.The underlined words in Paragraph 5 means to “________”.A.be ready to help othersB.make good use of one's friendsC.be a little ahead of othersD.gain something at other's expense5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.While taking a taxi in Finland,you can get off without first paying your fare.B.In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you're living in the hotel.C.The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours. D.The workers are always honest with their working hours.6.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.the Finnish society is of very high moral(道德的)levelB.there are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandC.in Finland,most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingD.everyone in Finland is like a gentleman,for they have faith in themselves7.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Life in FinlandB.A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC.What a LifeD.Honest accounts of the FinnsC(2017~2018·洛阳市上学期尖子生第一次联考)According to a historian,uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports state that only 15% of primary schools and around 10% of secondary schools in the United States have strictly carried out the uniform policy.In recent times it has become the most debated topic among parents and educators,with many critics stating the fact that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student nor does it considerably reduce inequality among the masses.Students are instructed to follow certain rules:for boys,pants,shirts with turtlenecks,sweaters and jackets are acceptable,while in someschools,shorts are strictly forbidden;similarly,for girls,long skirts,blouses,pants and flat-heeled shoes are acceptable.School uniforms in other countries such as Thailand,Indonesia,India and Pakistan were introduced during the British colonial period.In these countries,girls in senior schools usually wear broad trousers and boys wear pants and shirts.In preschool though,girls wear skirts and blouses and boys wear short pants and shirts.In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect,the uniform system was followed in the public school system.The dress sense closely resembled that of the English students.The purpose of a school uniform is to promote team spirit,discipline and increase equality among all students.Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section,critics have a different story to say.According to them,uniforms have no such great effect on students.This standardized dress has not helped students remove any barriers and is adding costs to the parents.In many countries,though students' wearing uniforms has produced some positive results,in the United States,the implementation(实施)requires a lot of efforts before we can achieve full success.8.What does the underlined word “masses” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Schools. B.Parents.C.Students. D.Teachers.9.What can we know about the uniform system in Australia according to Paragraph 3?A.The uniform system in the public school follows Britain.B.The Australian students dress more casually.C.The uniform system is the same as that in New Zealand.D.Most Australian students wear school uniforms.10.What's the intention of school uniforms at first?A.To encourage students to be more diligent.B.To improve students' academic achievement.C.To prevent students fighting with each other.D.To promote the equality among students.11.What's the attitude of the critics towards school uniforms?A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Negative. D.Factual.D(2018·成都市高中毕业班第三次诊断性检测)Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”.It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence,but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers,published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine,concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent re duction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreaders”.The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects,all older than 50,whom the researchers divided into three groups:those who didn't read books,those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable:on average,book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book.The more the subjects read,the longer they lived,but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level,income and health status,the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period.Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.“In other words,just like a healthy diet and exercise,books appear to promote a significant survival advantage,” the authors concluded.Why or how that's_the_case remains unclear;the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity,not a causal relationship.But the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.12.Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph?A.To stress the value of reading.B.To compare reading with a party.C.To introduce the study on reading.D.To support the findings of the study.13.From the text,what can we learn about the study?A.No similar study on reading has been carried out.B.The process of the study lasted more than ten years.C.It shows readers live two years longer than non-readers.D.It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it.14.What do the underlined words“that's the case”probably mean?A.Reading books enables people to live longer.B.Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.C.Reading books is closely associated with longevity.D.Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.15.Where can we most probably read this text?A.https:///life-and-style/family.B.https:///b/books/coming-soon.C.https:///news/to-your-health.D.http:///Book_Recommendations.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance(依赖)on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants. The company is planning to improve the flavor of its meat as time goes on. In the near future, mankind is looking at the possibility of completely animal-free meats of all kinds.1.

Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise(同样地), try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6. Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood?A. To encourage her mom to talk to her.B. To give her mom time to think of the past.C. To help her know more about her mom.D. To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria(疟疾)medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations(变异)in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl(e 潜水器). He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia-China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng-China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica(虚构的)Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C. A character in a literary work.D. The story made up by Pygmalion.13. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA. worship ofB. affection forC. marriage toD. sympathy for14. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?A. To improve the kids’ IQ.B. To pick out gifted students.C. To expand teachers’ influence.D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.15. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASeveral tourist attractions in the UKLundy Island, DevonThe global pandemic has brought a big blow to many scenic spots, including Lundy Island. Thanks to 2, 271 supporters, Lundy Island has collected an incredible £214, 000 fund which helps safeguard the island's future. As a tiny island off the coast of Devon, it is home to less than 30 people and dotted with historic buildings.A four-night stay: £123 per person.Snowdonia, WalesNo one wants to be queuing to reach the top of Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales), but there are other ways to explore this National Park, and its surrounding countryside. You can spend the night in a tent suspended above the waves, which gives you an extraordinary sea view. Or push your heart rate up by taking a rock-climbing course.Cliff camping: £200 per person per day (a 20%, discount for a group of at least two people).Climbing: £60 per person per dayNorfolkYou can keep social distance in Norfolk: this wide, flat county feels vast and wonderfully empty even in the height of summer. Head to Holkham Beach for sandy space, rent a canal boat and explore the Broads in daytime and book yourself for a night in the new hotel, The Harper in Langham, which was just opened up in this spring.A one-night stay in The Harper: £75 per person.Salford, ManchesterA big city might not seem like the best place to head for if you’re after the beauty of nature, but Manchester will be just the place thanks to the opening of RHS Bridgewater. The fifth Royal Horticultural Society garden is a grand 154-acre masterpiece in the grounds of Salford’s Worsley New Hall. Visit to discover an ancient walled garden and acres of woodland.A one-night stay in Salford: £85 per person.1. How did Lundy Island get through the hard time?A. By limiting the number of tourists.B.

Norfolk.D. Salford.BIf you need one more reason to be thankful, here it is. More and more researchers have found that gratitude could bring a lot of benefits to our body.“Our clinical trials indicate that the practice of gratitude can have dramatic and lasting effects on a person’s health,” said Robert Emmons, a professor at UC Davis. “It can lower blood pressure, improve immune function and help fall asleep more efficiently.”Emmons said there was even more evidence. People who keep a gratitude journal have a reduced fat intake—as much as 25 percent lower. Stress hormones like cortisol (皮质醇) are 23 percent lower in grateful people. And having a daily gratitude practice could actually reduce the effects of aging on the brain. “Being thankful has such a big effect because of the feelings at go along with it,” Emmons said. “Gratitude works because it restores other positive emotions that have direct physical benefits, most likely through the immune system.”Research shows that when we think about what we appreciate, the calming part of the nervous system will be triggered. That can have protective effects on the body, including decreasing cortisol and perhaps increasingoxytocin, the bonding hormone involved in relationships that make us feel good.Experts say gratitude is something you can learn. “Some people may not be grateful by nature but it is a habit you can get accustomed to,” said Dr. Norman Rosenthal, a doctor and the author of Winter Blues. Norman says all you have to do is think about being grateful. “Some people say they don’t have anything to be grateful for,” a researcher said. “If you teach such people to find one little thing to be grateful for and focus on that, you will find that the feeling of gratitude can transform the way they see their life over time.”4. What is the purpose of Emmons’ clinical trials?A. To restore positive emotions.B. To study the immune system.C. To analyze the reason for gratitude.D. To study gratitude’s influence on people.5. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Being grateful helps fat intake.B. Gratitude contributes to one’s physical health.C. Gratitude can help fall asleep faster.D. Being grateful can make a person successful.6. What does the underlined word “triggered” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Activated.B. Limited.C. Checked.D. Exposed.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How we express gratitude.B. How gratitude affects emotions.C. Why we need to be grateful.D. What we should be grateful for.CMy phone is no longer mine. Has this happened to anyone else? Remember those old days when we all shared one telephone. Perhaps this is how my own mother felt when she picked up the telephone in the house, only to hear my voice chatting with a friend. Sadly, even though I’m now a woman in my thirties, I’m still waiting to use my phone.My husband and I are Generation Xers fighting our way through a world filled with Tiktok, Snapchat, and Twitter. They allow us to reach the world, and they also allow the world to reach us. Moreover, I think my childrenshouldn’t be allowed to use my phone or their own phones, definitely not in their bedroom, not after 10 pm or to chat with anyone we don’t know.We’ve tried to search through the latest parenting advice from experts and medical research available on the use of screens by young children. Finally, we settled on age 13 as a good age to allow our children to use these technological wonders. However, the age restriction hasn’t stopped them from using my phone all the time.Then COVID-19 hit. The world changed, and so did my phone. During lockdown, my phone acquired Zoom, Marco Polo, and other apps that allowed my children to connect with connections with friends. So I arranged Zoom meetings for my kids, then my phone began to disappear for hours as they shared Marco Polo videos back and forth with their friends.Even though I’m frequently annoyed because my phone has “walked off” again, my heart is very full. My kids and I are sharing. Were learning to co-exist, to set boundaries, and to think of each other first. Because of my phone, I’m involved in my kids’ lives. I know their friends and their habits, their favorite apps and photos they have taken. Sharing my phone may be difficult, but it’s rewarding; it builds another layer of connection between us.8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By listing several facts.B. By presenting a problem.C. By describing her family tradition.D. By recalling her childhood experience.9. What is the author’s attitude towards the modem social networking services?A. Contradictory.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Approval.10. What probably made the author consider age 13 as a good age?A. Her own parenting skills.B. Her arguments with her husbandC. Her seeking professional information from others.D. Her parents’ advice.11. What benefit did the author get during lockdown?A. A deeper connection with her children.B. A new link with the outside.C. Taking to exploring new apps.D. Making a lot of online friends.DMany studies have suggested that playing music for plants may have a certain influence on their growth. So, can plants really hear sounds? Do they actually like music? Are these true or just another popular story?Since 1962, an Indian scientist has done several experiments on music and plant growth. He found that certain plants grew an extra 20 percent in height and weight when “listening” to music regularly. Later, he played music through loudspeakers placed around the field, and he found similar results for agricultural crops, such as peanuts, rice, and com, which produced more products at harvest time.A Colorado greenhouse owner experimented with several types of plants and various types of music. She discovered that plants “listening” to rock music became dry gradually as if they had been a lack of water and then went to their end within a couple of weeks, while plants grew well when “listening” to classical music.When it comes to understanding the effects of music on plant growth, it appears that it isn’t so much about the “sounds” of the music, but more to do with the vibrations (震动) created by the sound waves. In simple terms, the vibrations produce movements in the plant cells which help plants produce more nutrients. When plants don’t respond well to rock music, it isn’t because they “like” classical music better, but the vibrations produced by loud rock music create greater pressure that isn’t beneficial to plant growth.Researchers at the University of California weren’t so quick to jump to conclusions about the effects of music on plant growth. They said that so far there had been very limited scientific evidence that playing music for plants helps them grow, and that more scientific tests were needed with strict control over factors such as light, water, soil, and so on.12. What did the Indian scientist discover about crops listening to music?A. They were lack of water.B. They became dry gradually.C. They grew more productive.D. They tasted better than before.13. What does the author intend to tell us about plants in Paragraph 4?A. They may prefer quiet and soft music.B. Vibrations from music can affect their growth.C. Musical sounds help produce new plant cells.D. They respond positively to different kinds of music.14. In which section of the newspaper can we read the text?A. Entertainment.B. Music.C. Social Activity.D. Scientific Research.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can plants really hear music?B. Can music improve plant growth?C. Some ways to help plants grow fast.D. Some types of music good for plants.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taki ng part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programmes; today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programmes for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of programme. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.25.

Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: she didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. “Becaus e I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture,” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. “But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair i s unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29. What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her own.B.
