"Mom, "said Trevor, as he watched his mother washing the old cans (罐), "why are you washing these old cans?"
"I'm getting them ready for being put into the recycling box," said Mom.
"Well, they are rubbish to us, because we don' t need them anymore. I wash the cans out so that they won't attired insects," said Mom. "We don' t use some things, but it doesn't mean they have no value. These cans can be melted (熔化) down to make new cans or other things."
"I didn't think of that," said Trevor. "Is that why you save all the cardboard(纸板) or newspapers too?"
Mom nodded, "That is also why I save all those vegetable bits, I use them all in our garden."
"Our teacher told us about projects other classes had done for Earth Day, and she asked for suggestions for our class projects. I can't think of anything. Do you have any good ideas, Mom?" asked Trevor.
Mom wiped (擦) her hands with a towel (毛巾) and thought for a few minutes. "I saw an article in a magazine about wise ideas about recycling. It must be something you will be interested in."

March 16 is International Sleep Day. Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally(精神地) and physically(身体地). Sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. A good night's sleep helps to learn better.
But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short periods of sleep after a mid﹣day meal, we call it napping(午睡), may help our brains work better.
Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of peoplefight off age﹣related memory loss. As we all know, the older we are, the more memory we will lose.
The study found that people who took an hour﹣long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap. The hour﹣long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. In this study, it seems that the most effective(有效地) nap lasted for about an hour, but not much longer. Keep in mind, however, that these are the findings for those over the age of 65.
And there is a little difference between the old and young people. Doctor Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. And 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help them feel more awake(清醒的). If they nap longer, they will get trapped into(受困于) deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of.
If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit(限制) your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountainous villages in Guangxi for nine years in a row(连续).
In 2007, when she took part in film shooting in that area, she was shocked by the poverty (贫穷) there. Children had to walk along mountainous roads to attend classes at a neighbouring village school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.
Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, shedonated billion yuan to set up a fund (基金) for students there.
"Like the grass in stone clefts(裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them," Jiang said.
When asked how she persistedin her volunteer services for such a long time, Jiang said, " I'm not persisting but enjoying."
"It's not that I gave these kids love. I am actually learning about love." Jiang added. To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life.
At the same time, children in the big mountains have also influenced Jiang.
"Whenever I meet with something difficult to do, I'll think of these kids. Born in the kind of environment, they have to learn to face a lot of difficult things from birth. So, why can't I?" said Jiang.

In the United States, headmaster and teachers punish(惩罚)students in different ways. The teachers often write to or call the students' parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for an extra hour. If a student behaves(表现) very badly, the headteacher can suspend(使暂停上课) the student. The student can't come to school for one, two, or three days. Mr Lazares didn't like to suspend students. When he suspended students,they were happy. "A three﹣day holiday!" they thought. One day,a boy was in Mr Lazares' office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares phoned the boy's parents. "If you come to school with your son,I won't suspend him." he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students all looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(尴尬的).After that he behaved better. He didn't want his father to come to school again. Other students behaved better,too. They thought,"I don't want my parents to come to school!"

Today is December 15,2030.Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month,you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.
The interest in trips, 100km above the surface of the Earth, has grown steadily since such a trip began. However, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low﹣cost spacelines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as ﹩ 3,495. It's very reasonable.
Space tourism(旅游业;观光业)is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade,with the opening of the Starbright Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests.However,accommodation in space is still expensive for the averagehousehold,so the suborbital(亚轨道的)flights with thirty﹣minute weightlessness during the three﹣hour flight will for some time be the most popular trip.
However, the spacelines might in the future face fierce competition between space elevators(太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years.Once it is fully functional,it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment.Even if the elevator becomes successful,it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the spacelines.
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high﹣altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.
(1)From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2031?
A. |
A gift card will be taken to Mars. |
B. |
Mars will be explored for the first time. |
C. |
Man will go to Mars for the first time. |
D. |
An affordable space trip will come true. |
(2)The underlined "average" can most probably be replaced by in this passage.
A. |
common |
B. |
high﹣income |
C. |
low﹣cost |
D. |
low﹣income |
(3)What is the space elevator's purpose of accepting passengers as soon as possible?
A. |
To ship cargo to space. |
B. |
To get in the competition between spacelines. |
C. |

D. |
To get back the large investment. |

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号).We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward.But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place?For something we have to look at every day,why couldn't they have been prettier colors?
Well,it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars,there were traffic signals for trains.At first,railway companies used red to mean stop,white to mean go,and green to mean warn.As you could imagine,trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go.For example,one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened.Because of that,railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn.And it's been that way ever since.
Red has always been a color that mean danger,long before cars were even around.This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than
other colors.
But,believe it or not,yellow was once used to mean stop.Back in the 1900s,some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area.Finally,highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born.Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day,school zones,some traffic signs,and school buses continue to be printed yellow.
So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light,don't get so mad at them,they've certainly come a long way.

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?
Lots of people do.And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why.They found that one﹣half of the brain"remains more awake"than the otherhalf when people are trying to sleep in a new place.
The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University.In their report,the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home.They call it"first﹣night influence"."In Japan they say,"If you change your bed,you can't sleep,'"said Yuka Sasaki,one of the report's writers."You don't sleep very well in a new place.We all know about it."
The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35volunteers over two nights in a laboratory.The two nights were a week apart (间隔).They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half.This was during the first deep﹣sleep period,the researchers said.
Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.
Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long.So,they don't know if the left half keeps"watch"all night,or whether it"works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night".They also do not know why the brain activity,at least during the first period of deep sleep,is always on the left half.
For some,this research may be calming.It is good to know that our brain is"looking out for us"in a new place.But it may not help with sleep.That brain activity,at least according to this new research,makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery (外科手术).
He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly.
On seeing him,the father cried out,"Why did you take all this time to come?Don't you know that my son is in danger?Don't you have any sense of duty?"
The doctor smiled and said,"I am sorry.I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now,I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work."
"Calm down?!What if your son was in this room right now?Would you calm down?If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor,then what will you do?"said the father angrily.The doctor smiled again and replied,"We will do our best and you should also pray (祈祷)for your son's healthy life."
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,"Thank goodness!Your son is saved!"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying,"If you have any questions,ask the nurse."
"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state?"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered,tears coming down her face."His son died yesterday in a road accident.He was at the burial (葬礼) when we called him for your son's surgery.And now that he saved your son's life,he left running to finish his son's burial."
