Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.
Don’t buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.The passage is mainly about ________________.

You can play the game in the city or in the country. You can play almost anywhere as long as there is room to run. All you need is at least three players. The game is called “tag (捉人游戏)”.
Anyone can play tag, including children under 5 years old, though sometimes they have difficulty understanding and following the rules.
In the game, one player is “it”. The players decide the boundaries. For example, any area out of the yard might be out of the boundary.
The player who is “it” closes her eyes and counts to 20 while the others run away. When the player who is “it” opens her eyes, she must chase (追) and touch one of the other players. The player touched by “it” will become the new “it”.
Tag is a safe game to play. But still, you’d better follow these rules:
1. Don’t play tag in the street or parking lots.
2. It is safer to play tag on a soft surface, such as grass, sand.
3. Be sure to wear shoes that are suitable for running.
4. Play tag on the ground. Climbing trees or stairs should not be part of game.
5. Don’t “tag” other players with sticks or other objects.
6. Be careful about playing tag around animals, especially dogs. Remember, dogs have an instincts (直觉) to chase and catch anything that runs. Don’t play tag around a dog you don’t know.

“If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” said Bobby’s father, and he walked out with Bobby to the barn.

Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it’s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned by the water below—this could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph (miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a diver’s body position at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical. This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of impact because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver’s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person’s physical and mental skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What’s more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive.
What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean?
| A．There’s no doubt that this idea is definitely true. |
| B．This idea is thought to be completely wrong. |
| C．It depends on the real situation on the spot. |
| D．Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. |
Why didn’t professional divers suggest wearing shoes?
| A．Because wearing shoes can put more weight on to the diver |
| B．Because wearing shoes can cause the diver to feel uncomfortable |
| C．Because wearing shoes can make the point of contact bigger |
| D．Because wearing shoes can certainly lead to broken bones |
According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be __________.
| A．well-prepared and skillful | B．professional and strong |
| C．creative and smarty | D．confident and brave |
