Can you remember a world before the Internet? If you answer is “no” then you are probably a millennial．Millennials are the new generation of young Americans．They were born between l982 and l992．There are 33 million of them，and they are just starting to enter the workforce（劳动力）．Many experts believe that millennials are different from young Americans of past generations．They also believe that millenials will change the workforce in important ways．
How are millennials different?

They did not grow up “speaking” it．
How will millennials change the workforce? To answer that question，it is important to understand how millennials use the Internet．They use the Internet to communicate．They visit website such as FaceBook and MySpace every day．They share（分享）ideas，music， information，games，and friendships with people all over the world．When they start working，they will want to share their work and ideas with others．

Millennials also grew up with a lot of structure in their lives．Many of them went to school from the age of two or three and played on sports teams．At work，they will expect the rules to be clear．They will also expect a strong but fair boss，like a coach on a sports team．They will follow the person in charge（主管）if he or she is fair．But they will not follow an unfair boss．They will also expect their work to be fun and creative，similar to their experience on a sports team．
These are a few of the changes that experts believe millennials will bring to the American workforce．But the world is changing very fast．There will probably be more changes that are difficult to imagine today．According to the first paragraph of the passage，which of the following is NOT true?

| C．Millennials use mobile phones and e-mails often． |

Why do leaves change color in the fall? To answer this question, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen（氧气）and glucose（葡萄糖）. Oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll（叶绿素）helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.
(83)随着夏天的结束秋天的到来，天变得越来越短。This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. ( 84)As the bright green goes away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.What do the plants change water and carbon dioxide into with the help of the sunlight? （no more than 5 words ）

It is reported by Chinese Xinhua News that students waste more food than the national average. So the campaign on school food waste is getting popular across the country. The move is part of a national campaign started by students at different schools.
At East China University of Science, students who finish their food in the school dining hall get a special card when they return their plates after meals. Students can collect cards and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, schoolbags, magazines and umbrellas. “It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to eat up our food.”
“The purpose of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also teach students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang from University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Other schools also pay attention to the quantity of food. At Nanjing No.9 Middle School, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from according to their own need. “It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, 15, a student from this middle school.
What if you really can’t finish all your food? At Changchun Normal College, they provide a take-away service. “If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the left food home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted,” said Zhou Zeyong, a student who learns Chinese education.
“I’m happy that we’ve cut down waste since joining the school ‘eat-up’ meeting. But some food is poorly cooked, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all. Some schools have taken note of this. So if we hope students try to waste less food, we should also improve the service and keep an eye on the meal quality on weekdays at school. If not, you can’t complain students for throwing away much food,” said Wang Guangji, the head-teacher of Beijing No. 29 Middle School.Why did we start the campaign on food waste at schools? Because __________.
| A．food waste at school is very serious |

| C．it is students’ duty to eat less food |

| A．Students who buy some special cards. |
| B．Students who eat up all the food. |
| C．Students who do some dishes. |
| D．Students who spend money on gifts. |
What’s Tao Siliang’s idea in the passage?
| A．Getting small gifts is surprising. |
| B．Different-sized bowls make students happy. |
| C．Students should take a healthy lifestyle. |
| D．It’s a good idea to feed a cat with left food. |
Which of the followings is true according to the passage?
| A．The campaign is only to encourage students to eat up food. |
| B．We try to think up many good ways to help clear plates. |
| C．We will make notes if students waste much food again. |
| D．We shouldn’t complain students for throwing away food |
