Jodie's Daddy Is a Garbageman（垃圾清理工）

Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students' parents did.He had just called

Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, "Jodie's daddy is a garbageman!"

Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

"Silence!" Mr. Swales said, "Being a garbageman is a difficult and useful job. We

should all be grateful to Jodie's father."

Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn't run up to

him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Her father came into her room, "What happened, Jodie？Why are you so sad？"

Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn't seem angry

or hurt.

"Well," he said, "they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow's Saturday, come to work with me, Jodie."

 The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. "Don't worry, kid.In five

minute you won't smell a thing." said her father.

 Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie's

father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck. It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie's arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy. "Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything's nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy. That's why I like being a garbageman so much."

Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss（吻）.She said, "When I

grow up, I will be a garbage﹣girl!"

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, "He's a

garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!"

 Starting from September, 2016, the panda is no longer on the world's "endangered animal list".

    According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are about 1,850 pandas in the wild in China now. In 2003, the number was 1,600. So it takes the panda off the Red List.

    China's hard work in the past 50 years to save the panda is paying off. China sets up reserves (保护区) and plants a lot of bamboo forests. Now, about two thirds of pandas are living in the 67 panda reserves.

    How did Chinese researchers successfully increase the number of pandas? They put in money, science, time and love. Here are two examples of their hard work.

    Bamboo is pandas' main food. And these guysare big eaters! A panda needs 12kg-38kg of bamboo a day. In the 1980s, without enough food, the number of pandas dropped to just over 1,200. To save pandas, China sets up 67 panda reserves and plants a lot of bamboo forests there.

    But there is still bad news. Our earth is getting warmer. It's going to get too hot for the bamboo to grow. More than a third of bamboo forests could go away within 80 years, scientists say. It's still dangerous for pandas.

(  )8. About ____________pandas have been born since the year of 2003.

A .250       B .1,600       C .1,850     D .3,450

(  )9. We can infer that China has been working on protecting pandas for about ________years.

A .10        B .30          C .50       D .60

(  )10.The underlined word "increase" in the fourth paragraph means "__________" in Chinese.

A .计算      B .控制         C .改变    D .增长

(  )11. According to the news, what bad condition is it for pandas now?

A .Health problem.            B .Food.

C .Water pollution.            D .Living place.

D 

The sun seems to be a quiet and helpful star. It brings the world light and helps plants grow. However, our nearest star is really a super hot ball of gas, with a stormy surfacetemperature of 11, 000℉.

The sun is 93 million miles away. Even so, the stormy solar weather can cause problems on Earth. Solar storms can cut off electricity, and phone service. Even the satellites will get out of their way because of the solar storms. Scientists want to know more about how the sun causes these problems. Luckily, they have a lot of help from some amazing space probes.

Since December, 1995 the SOHO probe has been going around the sun. SOHO takes close-up photos of the sun. And it has discovered the gas that is deep inside the sun. The gas may help explain the sun's 11-year cycle. Every 11 years the number of sunspots and flares on the sun increases. Sunspots are cooler patcheson the sun's surface. They look like dark spots. Flares are energycoming from the sun and then goes into the space. Sunspots and flares can cut off communications on Earth. They can be also harmful for astronauts in space.

The ACE probe is also giving information to Earth. ACE's job is to search the solar wind by following it. This is a group of particles that come out from the sun. The particles are 2, 000, 000℉! The solar wind changes weather on all the planets, including Earth.

Scientists have learned much about the sun. The star is more than just a silent one. "We thought the inside of the sun was simple in the past," says scientist John Harvey. "But that was before we were able to see into it."

(  )12. When solar storms happen, people can _______ without any problems.

A .watch TV                   B .make phone calls         

C .go online                   D .read newspapers

(  )13. The ACE probe is a machine that _______.

A .tries to find the solar wind                  

B .takes photos of the earth

C .has worked for nearly 26 years               

D .discovered the gas inside the sun

(  )14. What can we learn from the passage?

A .The sun is a quiet star with light and plants.

B .Stormy solar weather has 11 cycles every year.

C .Sunspots and flares can cause problems on Earth.

D .The solar wind has a high temperature of 11, 000℉.

(  )15. According to the passage, we know that scientists ___________.

A .know more about the sun than before

B .got many ways to look into the sun in the past

C .think the sun is as simple as they thought before

D .believe there is no need to take a look at the sun

Dear Daniel,

I'm very happy that you are coming to China to spend your summer holiday. There are some similarities and differences between city life and country life.

In the city people live in apartments. They love to go out for a walk in the park and join different clubs after work. In the country people live in their houses with a large yard. They grow rice and vegetables and talk happily when doing farming work.

As for me, I like living in the country because the air is fresher. I can help my parents feed animals. I can live in a big house with a yard. My family can sit together and talk in the yard.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Best wishes!
