| Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere. Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the pop singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instrument is called orchestra music (管弦乐),such as the symphonies (交响乐) of Beethoven. There is opera (歌剧 ) for singers.

| You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated with the big problem of global-warming. Strategy 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You'll get a 10-cent discount, and it's one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won't create more waste when they throw away a cup. Strategy 2:Tum off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds! Strategy 3:Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. You're reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. Strategy 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424, 000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco-paper towels too. Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances (电器). Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you'll use 15 percent less energy. It might be a little expensive to buy, but you'll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment. If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1. 7 million acres of new trees. Strategy 6 Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5,000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year. |
| 1. What is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Strategies to save money B. Ways to be earth-friendly C. Strategies to end global-warming D. Ways to limit carbon dioxide |
| 2. According to the writer, what will happen if our PC is switched off when not in use? |
| A. It will help to save a large amount of money. B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO2. C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile. D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees. |
| 3. Which strategies suggest recycling or reuse of things? |
| A. Strateges 1＆3. B. Strategies 2&5. C. Strategies 3&6. D. Strategies 4&5. |
| 4. What benefits do these strategies have in common? |
| A. They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity. B. They all cut down the amount of the use of paper. C. They all result in producing less greenhouse gases. D. They all aid to preserve our trees and forest. |

| Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a well-educated person does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says"Come in, please." After you enter the room, you should not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand, you will say," Thank you." And receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a guest never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host, especially the hostess pleasant.
