Footprint means the influence that a person’s or organization’s activities have on the environment. Simply understanding it is very useful to us. (Let’s take the example of Mr. Brown’s footprints.)
Water footprint
Water is the source of life. We use water directly for drinking, cooking and washing, but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth. A water footprint tells us how much water is being used. It can help us come up with ways to save water. You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat, the things you buy and even the energy you use.
Food |
Water Footprint |
Mr. Brown’s Water Footprint |
|
an apple |
70 litres(升) |
breakfast: a hamburger, a cup of coffee lunch: a cup of coffee, a sandwich, an apple dinner: vegetable salad, 0.2 kilo of beef |
|
a cup of coffee |
140 litres |
||
a kilo of beef |
15, 500 litres |
||
one hamburger |
2, 400 litres |
(Chart I) (Chart Ⅱ)
Carbon(碳) footprint
A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO₂ a person or organization produces. We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming (全球变暖). Most people are surprised when they see how much CO₂ their activities create. Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce(减少) their carbon footprints. For example, they can walk instead of using a car.
Carbon Footprint (Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO₂) |
Mr. Brown’s Carbon Footprint |
|
travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic hags use your computer for 32 hours |
drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours |
(Chart III) (Chart IV)
How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener
Tip 1: Save water and electricity
When you are at home, don’t leave the water or lights on when you don’t need it.
Tip2: __▲__
Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat. The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO₂.
Tip 3: Buy less
The more we buy, the more we throw away later. Before you buy something, think about whether you really need it.
Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth. If you know about your footprints well, you can think up more ways to protect the environment.

Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England.
The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess(公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p. m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.
With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”.
Others soon picked up on the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o'clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion.
Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed—the meaning of afternoon tea.

B. |
A breakfast and a mid-afternoon meal. |
C. |
A mid-morning meal and a late dinner. |
(3)Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first?
A. |
Because she felt hungry. |
B. |
Because she loved drinking tea. |
C. |
Because she needed to treat friends. |
(4)What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. |
Afternoon tea has spread all over the world. |
B. |
People used to drink tea more often than now. |
C. |

More than fifty years has passed since the first satellite (人造卫星) in China was sent into space in 1970. From then on, many such inspiring moments were left in our memories.
The latest encouraging moment happened on June 5th, 2022. Shenzhou-14. China’s ninth manned spaceflight (载人宇宙飞行), successfully sent Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe into the Tiangong Space Station, where they will work and live for 6 months. More research work will be completed and great challenges are ahead waiting for them.
Years of preparations were made for the moment. For example, enough knowledge and skills helped deal with problems: physical and mental (心理的) training helped to keep the best condition. Although it’s the second time for Chen Dong and Liu Yang to fly into space, they again with Cai Xuzhe received hard training. As for Liu Yang, now a mother of two young kids, she believes it’s her duty to do that for our country and set a good example for her children.
The success also belongs to the team. Hundreds of engineers and workers are behind them, offering all kinds of supports to help them finish more tasks.
(1)In China,when was the first satellite sent into space?

(2)How long will the astronauts stay in space?

Recently, a study (研究), published in BMC Medicine, found that sitting in front of the TV for a long time was a risk for people’s health.
After scientists used data (数据) on 370, 000 people, covering 12 years, they found about 9, 000 developed heart disease. They found people with genes (基因) of heart problems were more likely to develop heart disease. However, they found that people without such genes watching more than four hours of TV every day were also at the greatest risk of heart disease. People spending 2 to 3 hours a day watching TV had a 6% lower risk. And those who watched less than an hour had a 16% lower risk. The scientists of the research team finally found cutting TV watching time to less than an hour a day could prevent 10% of heart disease.
In life, people who want “one more episode (剧集)” might be the group at a higher risk, for they are easy to spend more time watching TV. If they have more snacks while watching TV, it might add the risk of putting their hearts in danger. So, if people want to watch TV longer, standing up and moving the body, or hanging out will work. But limiting their time on TV could be a more useful way to help them avoid possible heart problems in the future.
(1)According to the text, how long did the research cover?
A. |
10 years. |
B. |
12 years. |
C. |
14 years. |
(2)From paragraph 2, which of the following is right?
A. |
People watching one hour of TV are at the greatest risk. |
B. |
The less time people spend on TV, the lower the risk is. |
C. |
Watching TV is the only reason to develop heart disease. |
(3)Which best explains “limiting” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. |
限制 |
B. |
记录 |
C. |
花费 |
(4)Where is this text probably from?
A. |
A tour guide. |
B. |
A story book. |
C. |
A newspaper. |
(5)What is the main idea of the text?
A. |
We’d better not watch TV more than one hour a day. |
B. |
Hanging out after dinner is good for our heart health. |
C. |
Having snacks while watching TV adds risks for heart. |
