A thousand years ago， Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest． As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong， these trees were cut down and burnt． Now there is no forest left， though there are still some small areas covered with trees． We call these woods．
Elephants， tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest． When people came to live in Hong Kong， the animals began to die out． Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys． They cut down the trees and burnt them．They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter，to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals． Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them． Many other animals soon died in the same way．
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in 2005． But there are still about 36 different animals living there． One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer． These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail．They look like deer but they are much smaller． They are less than two feet high． They make a noise rather like a dog barking． In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy﹣ men．People hurt these little animals though it is illegal， There are now not many barking deer left． So it is important for people to protect wild animals．

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China．Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000kilograms of broken computers，TVs and phones sent from Japan．
Things like these are called electronic waste，or e﹣waste．Dealing with them is not an easy job．Every time an old computer breaks down，it needs to be dealt with safely．What is worse，at present，broken computer parts are usually buried ．It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth．
Many places in China are polluted by e﹣waste．Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them．This town is named as"the e﹣waste capital of the world"．It has to deal with 1.5million kilograms of e﹣waste each year，from which it makes 75million yuan．But it comes at a cost．Many of the poisons in e﹣waste find their way into the environment．An environmental group has found the air，the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted．
Luckily，the Chinese government wants to change the situation．This year，China passed a new environmental protection law．Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers．Hopefully，the problem with e﹣waste will be solved in the near future．
71．The e﹣waste found in Hong Kong last month was from ．
A．France B．Japan C．Germany D．Australia

Recently， China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate（天然气水合物即，可燃冰）， from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea． It produces high amount of energy when it is burned， leaving nothing but dioxide and water．
Many countries， including the United States and Japan， have long been doing research on methane hydrate， but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing．According to reports．China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16，000 m 3 daily． It is believed to be a big breakthrough．
Scientists say there is about 21， 000 trillion（ 万亿 ）3 of methane hydrate in the world． If we can use it， it can meet the world's energy need for 1， 000 years． However， it is too early to say a new energy source （来源 ） has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic（经济的）cost． When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed， it may go into the air easily． That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases， Besides， drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well．
However， China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take． It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy．
（1）What is Paragraph I mainly about ？
A． China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B． China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country
C． China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed
D． China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy
（2）What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice？
A． How to take it out from the bottom of the sea
B． How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost．
C． How to make it cheap on the future energy market．
D．How to change it into a traditional form of energy．
（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found？
A． Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it．
B． Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment．
C． Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy
D．Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment
（4）Where can we probably read the article？
A．In a storybook．
B．In a newspaper．
C．In a travel guide．
D．In a advertisement
At 8，844.43 meters high， Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain on Earth． While it is famous for its beautiful views，parts of the mountain are facing a problem： rubbish． Every year， thousands of visitors throw away tons of rubbish， such as bottles and plastic bags．
According to the UN，over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain． To reduce rubbish， China is limiting （限制）the number ofpeople who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain．Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it， and only during spring．

We should not use more water than we actually need． If we do， we will not have enough water in the future． （1） It is not a difficult question to answer． If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces， we have taken too much．
Many cities run campaigns（运动）to get people to stop wasting water． They show them ways they can cut back on water use． （2） What's more， they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use． For example， they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water． （3）
Another threat（威胁）to our water supply is pollution． When our sources of fresh water get polluted， we can no longer use this water． This also endangers（危及） the animals that depend on the water．
（4） We can save lots of water by not letting taps（水龙头） run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands． By collecting cold water when were taking warm showers， we can also save water． （5） In this way， we can make full use of water．
A． However， just how much is too much？
B． There are several things we can do to save water．
C． Finally， they make laws to control the use of water．
D． We don't have to let the cold water run until it gets warm．
E． They also increase water bills for people who use too much．
I'm Jane，from America．I can not sleep well and I always wake up several times during the night．I know for a fact that there are many other people who have trouble going to sleep，too．So，I've collected some advice I've received over the past few months that have not only helped me get to sleep faster，but helped me get better night sleeps．
Have regular sleep habits
Go to bed at the same time every night．Try not to break this habit on weekends when you may be made to stay up late．Wake up at the same time every day．If you're getting enough sleep，you should wake up naturally without an alarm．
Turn off your computer
Don't play on the computer for half an hour before you decide to sleep．Studies show that it is bad for the quality of your sleep．Read a book or listen to some light music to prepare your body for sleeping．
Have a nice bedroom
A clean environment helps people to be happy and relaxed．Make sure that you have turned off all light that might come into your room，and that the temperature is comfortable．
Exercise often
Exercising will help you to fall asleep more easily，so walk out for 45 minutes every day and you will sleep better at night．But don't do it just before you go to bed﹣you won't be able to sleep!
Eat properly
Eat only a little for supper．A full stomach may make it much harder for you to sleep．

Want to save the earth？ Plant a tree!
What's causing global（全球的） warming？ Is it man﹣made？ Or are temperatures simply changing naturally？ Whatever the case， we can at least try to slow things down． But how？
The Wilderness Project has an idea ，（1） ．If the earth has more trees， greenhouse gases will be reduced， and this will help stop global warming． （2） and improve air quality （质量）．
（3） ．In Belgium， the Organization for Forests worked with farmers to help them plant more trees． In Spain， the Canopy Project plants one tree for every Spaniard（西班牙人） in order to improve the environment． In Germany， a teenager named Felix Finkbeiner has been leading a global movement to plant more trees． （4） ．
Now， lots of people all over the world have already been planting more trees． In fact， if everyone plants one tree， just one， it will do great good to our environment．
So what can you do to help？ （5） ，although you need to get advice on how to look after it． Or you can join a tree planting project such as the ones mentioned above to help save the earth．
So， go on， plant a tree.. and save the earth!

Beyond its influence on health， not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes． Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep．
How much sleep do we actually need？
It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night． When we sleep below six hours per 24， we're at an increased risk of health problems． Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends． Sadly，there is no storage system for sleep in the brain．
Can we train ourselves to need less sleep？
As a study in 1964， a 17﹣year﹣old boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours． How many people could do anything close to that without dying？
When you are reading this， you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine． Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers： They don't get behind the wheel thinking they're probably going to kill someone．
Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping？
Coffee can keep us awake． Remember， too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles． So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for four to six hours before bedtime．
Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality？
A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep． People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health， which in turn explains their higher﹣quality sleep． Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above．

The problems with the environment are becoming more and more serious．You may think it is the government's job to take action and it is difficult for the individual（个人）to protect the environment．In fact， there are several easy things that can be done to make a difference．
You can start your cation by learning to recycle． Although this appears really simple，there are many people who still throw glass bottles and metal cans（金属罐）into their common rubbish bins．Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places？They all have glass and metal recycling signs．If you spend a few seconds washing the cans and bottles and put them into the rubbish bin， you will be on the path to protect the environment．
One more big waste product is newspaper． Most people will take their newspapers and throw them into rubbish bins when they finish reading them．In fact，there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper． For example，newspapers are something useful for a perfect shine．
What else you can do is walking a bit more． Many people usually get into their cars and drive one block to get cola at the local shop．If you walk to the shop，you can not only spend less time，because you needn't try to find a parking place，but you will save money on oil． If you wish to save even more on oil，take the chance to share the same car with others．

Wash your hands． You need to wash your hands with soap and water before you eat， after you use the toilet， and after you touch animals， because your hands may carry viruses （病毒）．Cover your nose and mouth． When someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs，the viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air，so you'd better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold． And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough，and then clean your hands． Wear a mask（口罩）． Some doctors say that masks can stop the virus as much as 80%， but if you don't wash your hands often， it's no use wearing a mask． So it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people．
Do sports often． Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist（抵抗）the virus．

The earth is much worse than before because of serious pollution： air pollution， soil pollution and water pollution． What should humans do to save the earth？
First， we should not produce too much rubbish． Rubbish takes up much space， so there will not be enough space for people to live in． What's worse， it will pollute soil and fewer plants can grow．
Next， we should keep the sea and rivers clean． Fish can't live in polluted water， so it may be impossible for us to enjoy so much seafood in the future．
Third， everyone should help to keep the air clean． Polluted air is harmful to our health．
To make the earth a better place， everyone should learn to love our planet from now on． And everyone should play a part in saving the earth．

Rethink， Reuse， Recycle!
Do you often throw away things you don't need anymore？ Have you ever thought about how these things can actually be put to good use？ Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind．
You have probably never heard of Amy Hayes， but she is a most unusual woman． She lives in a house in the UK that she built herself out of rubbish． The windows and doors come from old buildings around her town that were pulled down． The top of the house is an old boat turned upside down． And the gate in front of her house is made of rocks and old glass bottles． Amy recently won a prize from the Help Save Our Planet Society． The president said， "Amy is an inspiration to us all．"
Amy isn't the only one who is good al recycling． Jessica Wong from Hong Kong uses old clothes that people don't wear anymore to make bags． She has been doing this for a few years now． She opened a small shop where she sells her bags， and she has also set up a website to sell them online． She especially likes to use old jeans to make handbags． Her bags are cute and useful． "I plan to write a book about new ways to use old clothes，" she said． "I hope people can read my book and enjoy it!"
Wang Tao set up a small business in Shanghai four years ago． He is known for using iron and other materials from old cars to make beautiful art pieces． Some are large pieces that look like animals or humans， and some are smaller pieces you can put at home． The more popular works can even be seen in art shops around the city． Wang Tao hopes to set up a "metal art" theme park to show people the importance of environmental protection． Not only can the art bring happiness to others， but it also shows that even cold， hard iron can be back to life with a little creativity．
