It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED! With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled(循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. The followings are some instructions for you. Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles. Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.  Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled. Warning: Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately. PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging. Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste. Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil … Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike. To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website. |

The First Lady’s Travel Journal: Touring the Forbidden City March 21, 2014
After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing.
For more than 2,000 years (up until 1912), China was ruled by emperors who descended (传递) from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home.
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms.
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll (闲逛) through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces.
The Forbidden City is too large to fully experience in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace (交泰殿) has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons. The Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿) is where the emperor watched birthday celebrations and coronation (加冕) ceremonies from his Dragon Throne (龙椅). And then there are the Imperial Gardens (御花园), where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress (柏树) trees.
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything. But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place.
The writer visited The Forbidden City with _______.
| A．her daughters | B．her husband |

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK—“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles(城堡)”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can not afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. But some of the furniture is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions. Many of them may not get finished.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it can be difficult. Maybe factories should make products that are easier for us to DIY. What does DIY mean?
In which country is DIY popular?
What makes DIY difficult?
What is the main idea of the passage?
请将划线句子翻译成汉语。
But I could never understand her habit of cheering while we were walking in the race.
We walked together all over the town and entered half-marathons（半马拉松）, 26 miles.
I carried it to the starting line along. It had twenty-six cheering ideas, one for each mile. But I wasn’t really planning to slow myself down with all those ideas. I had to keep her list because I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s feelings. I looked at Tina’s cheering list when I checked my watch. At the top of the list was only one word: “Yourself.” I thought it did give me a good start to the race. While I was at it, I took the chance to thank her for the strength the list brought to me. By the time I finished the second mile, my parents were cheering me on by the side of the road. It just so happened that “family” was the next on Tina’s cheering list. At that moment, I had plenty of things to be thankful for.
But by the time I was close to the final mile, I was nearly out of breath. I didn’t know if I could make it another mile. Then I looked at the final idea on Tina’s list in my hand: “You can make it.”
I had thought the cheering list would slow me down. Instead it carried me to cross the finishing line.
| A. She gave me a cheering list to “talk” to me. B. I finished the marathon in less than six hours. C. Tina was the best speed-walker in our school. D. I walked the first mile of the race in 12 minutes. E. The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea. |
