When I was a boy, I was always happy to see those little brown coins. After years I was still very happy to pick up

pennies on the ground.

I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag of chips when it was enough. After growing up, I

heard a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us.

People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is

difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy

seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.

A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not

two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the

post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood

what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The

smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.

The coins weren’t so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy.

4. What did the author use to pick up when he was young?

A. Funny toys. B. Little brown coins.

C. Small things on the floor. D. Money his parents put on desks.

5. What might the author probably buy when he saved enough pennies?

A. A set of storybooks. B. A bag of sugar.

C. A box of chocolates. D. A pack of chips.

7. What can we learn from this passage?

A. Doing small acts of kindness is good.

B. Every coin should be used to buy important things.

C. We should look for coins when we are walking.

D. Pay more attention to what you hear from now on.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment “ We didn’t

know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce

Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people,political

leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking 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 programs; 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 programs for environment. Today,it’s hard to find a public

school,university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that,nothing else will change!”

says Bruce Anderson.

8.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________.

A.the social movement. B.recycling techniques.

C.environmental problems. D.the importance of Earth Day.

9.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?

A.The grass-roots level. B.The business circle.

C.Government officials. D.University professors.

10.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?

A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.

B.They have settled their environmental problems.

C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.

D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.

11.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?

A.Education. B.Planning. C.Green living. D.CO reduction.

Researchers found animals lovers exercise their pet twice a day for 24 minutes each time --- a total of five hours

and 36 minutes a week. On top of that, the average dog owner also takes part pet out to take three long walks each week

adding another two hours and 33 minutes to the total. But those without a dog spend an average of just one hour and 20

minutes per week exercising by going to the gym or heading out for a walk or jog. And almost half of non-pet owners

admit they take no exercise.

A spokesperson said the difference between the two was that going to the gym can feel like a boring task while

dog-walking can be far more enjoyable. “Having a couple of short walks every day soon adds up and this research

shows that it amounts to more time than people spend in the gym,” he said. And gym goers exercise inside an air-

conditioned gym, while dog walkers are able to jog for miles and enjoy fresh air when admiring the Great British

countryside.”

The study of 5,000 people, including 3,000 dog owners, showed that 57 percent of those considered walking the

dog as their main form of exercise. More three quarters said they would rather take their dog for a walk than go to the

gym. A total of 86 percent said they enjoyed taking their pet out each day, with just 22 percent saying they sometimes

saw it as a boring task. But only 16 percent of respondent said they enjoyed exercising in the gym, while almost 70

percent considered it a boring task.

The survey shows that having a dog to walk actually encourages regular exercise, with 60 percent of pet owners

saying they always go for a walk with their dog --- even when timer is precious(宝贵的).

12. What is the main idea of this passage?

A People without a pet usually go to the gym

B. Pet owners spend no time exercising in the gym

C. Dog owners usually get more exercise than gym goers

D. People do exercise either by walking a dog or going to the gym

13. According to the study, on average each week dog owners walk their dog for _____.

A. one hour and 20 minutes B. eight hours and 9 minutes

C. two hours and 36 minutes D. five hours and 36 minutes

14. The writer mentioned what the spokesperson said in Paragraph 2 mainly to show that _____.

A. walking a dog can be tiring sometimes

B. taking exercise in the gym can be very comfortable

C. people prefer to exercise in the gym rather than walk a dog

D. walking a dog is more enjoyable than exercising in the gym

15. The underlined word “respondents” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to people who ____.

A. like walking their dogs B. enjoy going to the gym

C. took part in the study D. organized the study

二、七选五
