At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often pay for their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence（独立) is learned from childhood.
From an early age, American children learn to do things by themselves. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.
Using money in the right way is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little help or advice from parents. If the child wants more money, it must be earned by doing extra chores.

and make mistakes. Failure often teaches more than success.. Many young American people begin to live on themselves ________ .

Penguins are lovely animals. Most people like them. But now as many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins are in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by ( 减少了) 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in the Antarctic Continent (南极大陆) ,New Zealand, Australia and South America. Many live near cold waters (水域). But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly, but they are fine swimmers. The shape of their body helps them to survive. Penguins eat fish and krill (磷虾). They have short wings that help them to dive up to 900 feet to catch larger fish. They can swim 10-15 kilometers an hour which lets them protect themselves. They also have lots of body oil that helps in keeping them dry in the water.
The warming of the earth is the reason for the decrease in the number of penguins. The hotter and hotter air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperature has decreased the fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. And many adult penguins die of hunger.
Too much fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks (泄漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous things in ocean waters are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including sharks, seals and sea lions.Penguins can do the following except________.
| A．diving | B．flying | C．swimming | D．catching fish |
Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decrease in the number penguins?
| A．The warming of the earth. | B．Too much fishing. |
| C．Natural disasters. | D．Poisonous things in ocean waters. |
What does the underlined word "reproduce" mean?
| A．繁殖 | B．灭绝 | C．迁徙 | D．觅食 |
What’s the passage mainly about?
| A．Fish and krill have decreased. |
| B．Ocean waters are polluted. |
| C．Sharks and seals are the enemies of penguins. |
| D．The decrease in the number of penguins. |

I'm in trouble. Last week，we had a football match，and we lost.We played well，but one teammate didn't do his best，I think.It was like he wasn't even on the court!Disappointed by his behaviour，I said all this to my best friend.But he told everyone else what I'd said.I'm really angry with my friend- what should I say to him？And should I say anything at all to my teammate？ |

Reply There is an old American saying， "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something，especially to people who you don't know so well，it'll cause all kinds of trouble.Maybe now you're in this situation.Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |

Reply Perhaps most importantly，think about your own behaviour.When filled with anger，you would say whatever comes to your mind.You might hurt others.Take a deep breath，calm down，and always remember：think first，speak later. Like 11 |

| |
Reply In my view（观点），you should do what your parents ask.They're much older than you and you should respect them.It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10 |

| |
Reply Here's what you need to do.First，apologise to your teammate.Have a chat with him，and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse，but you hope your friendship will move on.

Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生态村) in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.
people in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets. Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.
Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you. it’s not! It’s a way of life. We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it. Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed (存在) all over the world!
Thank you for listening! What people in Bed ZED often do is__________
A. to build a lot of houses B. to go to work in their own cars
C. to recycle the paper, plastic and glassIn Bed ZED, the water used in the toilet may come from ____________.
