Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!What is the purpose of this speech?
| A．To introduce the traffic system. |
| B．To tell a story about adopting a pet. |
| C．To show drivers how to drive safely. |
| D．To encourage students to join the program. |
What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?
| A．Giving names to the highways. |
| B．Picking up litter along the roads. |
| C．Drawing pictures of highways. |
| D．Putting up signs near the roads. |
What should the students do first if they want to join the program?
| A．Go to a meeting on Wednesday. |
| B．Pick a spot to care for. |
| C．Write a letter to their parents. |
| D．Call Mrs. Lake next week. |
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
| A．Adopt-a-Pet | B．Ways to Protect the Environment |
| C．Adopt-a-Highway | D．Volunteers on Roads |

LakeLander ·2 hours ago
Today, a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between Malvern and Reading, making many passengers upset. I wonder how he would react if I were to read my newspaper out loud on the train. I have never had the courage to do it, though.
Pak50 ·57 minutes ago
Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.
Angie O’Edema ·42 minutes ago
I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologized to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.
Taodas ·29 minutes ago

Charles Blackman: Alice in Wonderland

Charles Blackman is famous for his beautiful painting of dreams.

At that time, Blackman’s wife was suffering from progressive blindness.
