Maybe most people know that there is water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution around us, but few people know that there is another kind of pollution—light pollution. In fact, it can be everywhere, depending on the time of the day.

Light pollution is the result of the wasted energy. Instead of providing light for people on the earth, most bright light shines into the sky, because people don‟t design lights(灯) very well. At the same time, lights are brighter than necessary. All these cause light pollution. Stars in the night sky always provide everyone with wonderful sights(景色), but light pollution prevents them from being seen.

Some scientists say that light pollution can also bring some health problems to people, especially to kids. So it‟s the high time for us to do something useful to stop light pollution.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。

( )1. Light pollution isn‟t serious enough for us to stop it now. ( )2. All the people know light pollution well today.

( )3. Most light shines into the sky instead of providing light for people. ( )4. People in big cities can‟t see stars clearly in the night sky. ( )5. Light pollution doesn‟t do harm to people‟s health.

I had a description of the storybook Green Eggs and Ham. I also had a description of the movie Elf. They were great, but I can‟t remember any of them. I want to say „ ▲ ‟, especially to my mother.”

The audience looked around at each other. Someone started clapping and then more and more people joined in. I walked off the stage.

There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his spare time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every colour, with long and difficult names, for competitions（比赛）. He tried to grow a rose of a new colour to win the silver cup（银杯）for the Rose of the Year.

Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses were very close to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen years of age were often tempted to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers‟ glass-house. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glass houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to

report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some metres away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words, DO NOT THROW STONE AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble: the boys were much more tempted（引诱）to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses. （ ） 16. It was Mr. Flowers‟ hope to_______. A. build glass-houses in his spare time B. grow the rose of the Year in a silver cup

C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new colour

D. grow a rose with the longest name

（ ） 17. Boys were often tempted to_________.

A. throw stones at Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses B. throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school C. be in or close by Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses D. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses

（ ） 18. Mr. Flowers stayed in or close by his glass-houses_______. A. at times when school-boys were walking near then B. all the school day when there were no boys about C. where he could not be seen by the boys passing

D. in his spare time at the beginning and end of the school day （ ） 19. Mr. Flowers had tried to________ to protect his glass.

A. be on watch in his spare time B. ask the headmaster for help

C. pick up all the stones around his garden D. do all the above

As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books.

Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.

Each of Berlin‟s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who

第 6 页 共 6 页

are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away.

Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community‟s good will.

One woman named Petra Rücker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rücker said. “It looks interesting.” This time, she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.

21. Are telephone booths very popular in Germany?

Dear John, Nov. 25th, 2002

Thanks for the great photo of your family. Here is my family photo.

The man under the tree is my father Henry Clinton. He enjoys a great sports collection. He has fifteen soccer balls, twenty-four baseballs, four baseball bats, six tennis rackets and thirteen basketballs. Can you believe it? He is thirty-nine years old now and is always busy. He doesn‟t like sports—he only watches them on TV. Interesting. That‟s true!

The beautiful lady next to my father is my dear mother—Helen Clinton. She is thirty-seven years old. Why is she so beautiful? She eats well. She has eggs, bananas, milk and apples for breakfast. For lunch, she likes oranges, salad and sandwiches. For dinner, she has chickens, great dishes, rice and tomatoes. Do you like ice creams? My mother likes them very much. She eats ice creams for dessert. She doesn‟t like hamburgers, French fries. I don‟t, either. They are not healthy. My mother likes shopping very much. But I think it‟s boring.

The little boy is me. Am I handsome? You know I‟m 12 years now. And my birthday is on the Christmas Day. So I like Christmas Day and the Christmas party. But I don‟t like cakes and chocolates. Can you come to my birthday party on Dec. 25th?

Best wishes to you!

Jim
