Imagine (想象) that a boy buys a T-shirt and puts it in a plastic bag. The boy puts on the T-shirt and throws the bag away like most of us.
It is said that Australians throw about 4 billion (十亿) bags away a year. And Americans throw away about 100 billion a year. So how many plastic bags do people throw away all over the world in a year? Nobody really thinks about that, but the number is about 1.2 trillion (万亿)! For sure, these bags do no good for the environment. They pollute beaches and the sea.
★ Well, we cannot use plastic bags. Coles Bay in Tasmania is one of the first plastic bag-free towns in the world. People put their shopping in cloth bags and they reuse the bags again and again. Coles Bay is a small town, but small things can make a big difference. We can make a difference, too. Just say no to plastic bags!
50. What do most of us often do according to the passage?
A. Buy T-shirts in the shop.

B. Go shopping on weekends.

C. Throw away plastic bags.


D. Put on new clothes at once.

51. How many bags do Australians and Americans throw away a year?
A. 4 billion.

B. 100 billion.

C. 104 billion.

D. 120 billion.

52. Where is the cloth bag first used according to the last paragraph?
A. Tasmania.

B. America.

C. Australia.

D. England.

53.Which can be put in the “ ★ ”?

C. So what can we learn from it?


D. So what does this mean for us?

C
What are teeth used for? For people, they are for eating. But for animals, teeth are good for more than just eating. They might be used for fighting, sending messages, building homes or even cleaning them-selves.
Many animals use their teeth to fight. Elephants have tusks (长牙) that can grow to be over three meters long! They use them to protect themselves.
Some animals use their teeth to send messages. Horses show different feelings with teeth. They might talk angrily, welcome others or show respect.
A few animals use their teeth to build homes. Naked mole rats (裸鼹鼠) use their teeth to dig holes as a home. Their teeth are growing all the time, but wear down while digging through hard soil (土).
Some animals also use their teeth to clean them-selves. For example, there is a group of animals called prosimians. They’re monkey-like animals, but they aren’t monkeys. Almost all prosimians use their front teeth to clean their bodies.
So, teeth are not only used for eating. They’re also useful for building homes, digging holes, protecting themselves, fighting and keeping themselves clean!

Have you ever heard about the story of The Old Man and the Sea? It was written by an American writer Hemingway, in 1952. The story is about an old fisherman (渔民) who has been fighting for (与...斗争) a long time with a huge marlin (枪鱼).
The old man went fishing every day, but he hadn’t caught a fish for eighty-four days. In the first forty days, there was a boy with him. The old man taught the boy to fish. But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents told him that the old man was unlucky. The boy then was asked to work on another boat.
After the boy left, the old man went fishing alone. One day the old man caught a huge marlin. He was greatly tested. Unluckily, the marlin’s blood attracted a lot of sharks (鲨鱼). The old man was weak but fought against the sharks hard. Finally, he went back with a huge fish skeleton (骨架). Although the old man didn’t bring back the fish, he won.
In the face of difficulties, we should fight bravely.

Here, I’m going to share with you some tips for taking good notes.
● It’s great if your teacher writes notes on the board: You can copy them down. If not, however, write down the most important points from class.
● It can take time to learn how to listen for the main ideas, so keep trying and don’t give up. Some teachers may directly tell you that a particular fact is important. Some might just repeat a certain piece of information. That’s a clue that it’s very important.
● Don’t go crazy taking notes, though. If you spend too much time getting your notes right, you might miss what the teacher is saying. But if you think you have missed something important, don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat it. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It’s much easier than wondering if you have got the notes right as you study.
● If you’ve written down notes carelessly in class, you might not be able to read them when it’s time to prepare for a test. Look over your notes when you get home and copy them if it is necessary.
● Finally, it’s a great idea to go over your notes with a friend and compare what the two of you have put down. It can remind (提醒) you and your friend to any mistakes you may have made in your notes.
Think over these tips and try to improve your note-taking habits. Good note-taking helps your mind take in the material it needs to learn—and mostly, your test performance is decided by how effectively (有效地) you have taken your class notes.
根据上面短文内容填空(每空词数不限)。
86. Some teachers may directly tell us that ______________ is important. Some might
______________ a certain piece of information more than once.
87. Don’t spend too much time ______________ right, or we’ll ______________ what the teacher is saying,
88. If you’ve written down notes ______________ in class, you might be able to read them when it’s time to ______________ for a test.
89. The writer gives us ______________ tips for taking good notes, we should think over and try to ______________ our note-taking habits better.
