In 1988,Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life,he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla,Xinjiang.

It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).

But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.

Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.

Now,at the age of 85,Wang Chengbang is still working.

(1)Is it an easy job for Wang Chengbang to plant trees?

                                         

(2)How many trees has Wang Chengbang planted so far?

Do video games do harm to our children?Today,many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK,99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.

For many people,video games are fun.They have bright lights,funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look,you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains,in restaurants and even at school.

Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more,video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things,like drawing,telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.

However,a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First,children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second,many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third,if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework,they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally,video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves,they might not learn how to play with their friends.

In conclusion,it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them.Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags.More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However,it,too,is harmful to the environment.

   Firstly,paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees,as you know,can reduce (减少) carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels in the atmosphere. Theycan slow down climate (气候) change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.

   Secondly,products made from paper require more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However,it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.

   Thirdly,paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more oil to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags,while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.

   Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents,while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.

   The most environment﹣friendly solution is to avoid single﹣use products altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.Through increasing the use of these products,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!

(1)What does the underlined word " They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?    

A.

Plastic products.

B.

Trees.

C.

Paper products.

D.

Businesses.

(2)Compared with transporting two million plastic bags,transporting two million paper bags requires    .

A.

fewer trucks

B.

six more trucks

C.

twice as many trucks

D.

the same number of trucks

(3)The writer compared the price of a paper straw and that of a plastic straw to show that    .

A.

paper products are not a good choice for businesses

B.

it is difficult for all businesses to turn to paper products
