Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean( 太平洋 ) in a rowboat since he left California on July

10, . He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.

Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his

own energy. He will row, bike, walk, and climb the world without help from any motors(

发动机 ) at all. His plan

includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents ( 洲 ) along the way.

For the first part of his trip, he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska

and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed eet to McKinley's

peak. Now in the second part of his

adventure ( 冒险活动 ) , he is rowing to Australia.

Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and

sometimes they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the

5 / 12

江苏省南通市中考试卷(英语)

way.

When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people — especially children. He has

already visited many schools and shared his story.

Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says,

\"With goals, we will

make

progress, and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don't get to some goals. Tnat's called life!\" (

Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging (including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were

piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.

Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the

environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(

可再利用的容

器 ), taking smaller potions( 份 ) at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.

6 / 12

江苏省南通市中考试卷(英语)

Reuse To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!

Recycle (回收利用 ) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure

whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.

Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the earth. It is also the best way to save

ourselves. (

B. Italy is too dirty for us to visit D. the earth is becoming dirtier

B. take a bath instead of a shower D. pack your lunch with newspapers

CHENGDU — After flying for five minutes over Wenchuan, Li Xiang finally found a landing place for his

helicopter( 直升机 ) on a hill near the earthquake-hit county.

Li, an officer of the Aviation Regiment( 陆航团 ) of the Ghengdu Military Area Command, then made a soft

landing and waited as his team got off food and medicine while the people around cried, \"Thank you, soldiers! Finally, we have hope. \"

In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive(

to break school records and take the first place.

Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the end of the school year. They are also called field days.

Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race ( 跳绳 ) and the three-legged race. In middle and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events( 田径项目 ). They are more serious and competitive than

primary school ones.

10 / 12

Students' parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days. They watch children play. Many schools in the West have \"mothers and fathers\" races for parents to take part in!

Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the US, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much pressure (

u

n

压力 ) on the

children. Some schools don't have mothers and fathers races any more as there is much fighting and cheating.

91. What do children try to do when they take part in sports meets? 92. When are sports days usually held in the school years? 93. What are primary school and middle school sports days like? 94. Who would come to the school to watch children play on sports days? 95. What does the writer think about sports days?

I'm glad to hear from you. Now let me tell you something about our city. Nantong is trying hard to set up a national civilized city. We middle school students are also doing some things for it. We are all polite to our teachers. (In class, we listen carefully to them. /When we meet them, we always say hello to them. /... ) We also

respect the old. For example, we help them cross the streets.

We are always ready to help each other. ( When one has difficulty with his studies, others will help him at once. /... ) We often show love to those in trouble. Last month, the students of my class donated money to the earthquake-hit areas.

Besides, we plant trees to protect the environment and make our city more beautiful. Nantong is my hometown. I will do my best to help to turn Nantong into a civilized city. Zhang Tong
