| Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend -- a bird called Woodstock. This year Snoopy turns sixty. Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world. When Snoopy first appeared, he was just like other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed at just about everything. Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player and Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery cashier, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon. However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, "It was a dark and stormy night…" Unluckily for him no one has ever wanted to publish (出版) the story. Snoopy easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works. Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are "To live is to dance, to dance is to live." and "Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog." |

| America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand.Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America! |

| Rubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry. Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried (填埋) in landfills or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled (回收利用). A landfill (垃圾填埋厂) is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc). One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted. Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it's possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process. Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate (分类) it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous.How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem. Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste.In the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution. |
| 1. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills? |
| A. Producing electricity. B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills. C. Reducing 95% of the waste. D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment. |

| A. the separation of rubbish B. the problems with burning rubbish C. the safety of burning rubbish D. the cost of burning rubbish |
| 3. The best title of the passage is ________. |
| A. Cutting out waste B. Recycling waste C. Burning waste D. Burying waste |
| 4. After Paragraph 7, what is the writer likely to talk about next? |
| A. Pollution. B. Landfills. C. Recycling. D. Environment. |

Before you head off to the Expo, please read the following tips so that you behave properly and show off China's best face to visitors from other countries. When waiting in a line Wait patiently instead of cutting to the front of the line. If you have to leave your spot in line and want to come back , tell the people standing in front of and behind you. Ask them to kindly hold your spot, and thank them when you return . When touring the Expo Don't touch or climb on exhibits. Visitors are allowed to take pictures and videos around the Expo, but when cameras are not welcome, don't turn yours on . If souvenirs are handed out , don't push and scream. Be polite and wait your turn. When attending shows If you are late, wait until the break to enter. It will disturb other audience if you walk in late.

Keep quiet during a performance .Before the performance starts, either turn off your mobile phone or set it to silent mode. Never answer your phone while a performance is going on . After an excellent performance, clap your hands warmly. Don't laugh at the performers when they make mistakes. When having meals Don't talk loudly at meals. With many hungry visitors waiting, don't stay too long at your table after you have finished. Politely move on to another place. | |||||||||||||||||||||
