Although I didn’t have any interest in being a school bus driver, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.

Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.
I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.
A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.
Now, it’s important to think how many lives I’ve been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s time to rest and park my school bus.
When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?

A．5 years ago.

B．10 years ago.

C．20 years ago.

D．30 years ago.

What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)?

A．toy bears

B．kids

C．school buses

D．secrets

Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Children didn’t like the driver.

B．The driver likes the job all the time.

C．The little girl was excited at seeing the camels.

D．Children sometimes talked about their family secrets on the bus.

The writer didn’t give up her job because .

A．driving was her hobby

B．children made her valuable

C．drivers were paid well

D．children loved her toy bear

What may the writer’s future plan be?

A．She decides to stop the job.

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws （吸管） and bags.More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However，it，too，is harmful to the environment.

Firstly，paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees，as you know，can reduce （减少） carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） levels in the atmosphere. Theycan slow down climate （气候） change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.

Secondly，products made from paper require more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However，it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.

Thirdly，paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more oil to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags，while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.

Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents，while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.

The most environment﹣friendly solution is to avoid single﹣use products altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.Through increasing the use of these products，you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!

（1）What does the underlined word " They" in Paragraph 2 refer to？　　

A．	Plastic products.
B．	Trees.
C．	Paper products.
D．	Businesses.

（2）Compared with transporting two million plastic bags，transporting two million paper bags requires 　　.

A．	fewer trucks
B．	six more trucks
C．	twice as many trucks
D．	the same number of trucks

（3）The writer compared the price of a paper straw and that of a plastic straw to show that 　　.

A．	paper products are not a good choice for businesses
B．	it is difficult for all businesses to turn to paper products
C．	most people believe paper products are better than plastic ones
D．	paper products are as harmful to the environment as plastic ones

（4）By writing this article，the writer mainly wanted to 　　.

①compare plastic products with paper ones

②correct people's wrong ideas about paper products

③suggest people use reusable products like steel straws

④list the advantages and disadvantages of using paper products

A．	①②
B．	③④
C．	①④

Have you ever imagined the life in space？The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

• Eating in space

If you go camping for more than a week with some friends，you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip，you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms，such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water，such as cheese.Of course，an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges，so space food must be kept properly.

• Sleeping in space

After a long day at work，nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth，in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time，then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep，they have to attachthemselves，so they don't float （漂浮） around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins （乘员舱）.Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally，astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

• Doing sports in space

Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss （肌肉萎缩）.Usually，astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed，so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun，too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

（1）The writer starts to explain eating in space by 　　.

A．	telling a story
B．	asking a question
C．	giving an example
D．	comparing two facts

（2）What does the underlined word " attach" in Paragraph 4 mean？　　

A．	Tie.
B．	Hide.
C．	Catch.
D．	Carry.

（3）It is much easier for people 　　in space than on the earth.

A．	to fall asleep
B．	to lift heavy things
C．	to prevent muscle loss
D．	to eat cold food

（4）In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage？　　

A.CULTURE.

B.SOCIETY.

C.SCIENCE.

D.HISTORY.
