8．（6分）From a wine pot amidst the flowers，
I drink alone without partners.
To invite the moon I raise my cup.
We're three，as my shadow shows up.
Alas，the moon doesn't drink.
My shadow follows but doesn't think.
Still for now I have these friends，
To cheer me up until the spring ends.
I sing；the moon wanders.
I dance；the shadow scatters.
Awake，together we have fun.
Drunk，separately we're gone.
Let's be boon companions forever，
Pledging，in heaven，we'll be together.

三、阅读理解
8．（6分）From a wine pot amidst the flowers，
I drink alone without partners.
To invite the moon I raise my cup.
We're three，as my shadow shows up.
Alas，the moon doesn't drink.
My shadow follows but doesn't think.
Still for now I have these friends，
To cheer me up until the spring ends.
I sing；the moon wanders.
I dance；the shadow scatters.
Awake，together we have fun.
Drunk，separately we're gone.
Let's be boon companions forever，
Pledging，in heaven，we'll be together.

However，our Earth is facing a lot of serious problems now．Firstly，there are more natural disasters than before，such as floods，earthquakes．Secondly，many animals are in danger and some of them even die out．Thirdly，the areas of forests are getting smaller and smaller．（地球现状）
Several reasons lead to these problems．People cut down too many trees．As a result，a lot of wild animals have no place to live or food to eat．What's more，people kill or hunt animals for their fur or bones．Besides，more and more personal cars in the streets make air pollution worse and worse．
