When you are little,it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my 1 when,at the age of 12,I 2 delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on 3 poverty and finding environmental answers,4________ a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to 5 others,to work things out,to respect others,to clean up our mess,not to hurt other creatures,to 6________,not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us,but I 7 you,please,to make your 8 reflect your words. ”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation (长时间的喝彩) • Some of the delegates 9 cried. I thought that maybe I had 10 some of them,that my speech might actually spur (激励) action. Now,a decade from Rio,after I’ve sat through many more conferences,I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little,the world was simple. But as a young adult,I’m learning that as we have to make 11________education,career,lifestyle—life gets more and more 12________. We are beginning to feel 13 to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is 14________,but aren’t taught how to 15________ a happy,healthy or sustainable (可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and 16________.
Today I’m no longer a child,but I'm worried about what kind of 17________ my children will grow up in. I know change is 18________,because I am changing,still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great,19 if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices,we will rise to the challenges,and we will become part of the 20 tide of change.

If you’ve ever seen the way dog people interacted with their pets,it comes as no surprise that there’s some germ-exchanging going on there. A new study indicates that dog ownership specifically may be one of the biggest single contributors to what kinds of microbes living on your skin.
A team of researchers led by Se Jin Song at the University of Colorado,Boulder,took swabs (化验标本) of the tongues,palms,forehead and faeces (排泄物) of members of 60 family households. Some of the families had children or household pets and some did not;dogs were the only pets swabbed.
Researchers then analyzed the DNA of the bacteria they found to determine how diverse the bacteria populations were. Not surprisingly,family members who lived together had more bacteria in common than members of separate households. Bacteria on the skin were especially similar within households,probably because we pass microbes through the air,through direct contact,and via the surfaces we touch.
The most surprising finding,however,was the large bacteria contribution Fidonad made. The skin bacteria of dog owners from different households were almost as similar as if they’d cohabited without a dog. Put another way,you and a friend across town who both own dogs share a skin ecosystem as alike as a married couple does.
The reason for this appears to be that dogs harbor some kinds of bacteria that are rare on human skin. One in particular,a family of bacteria called Methylophilaceae,was abundant in the mouths of dogs sampled as well as the skin of their owners—indicating “a common occurrence of oral-skin transfer between dogs and their owners”,according to the results published in the journal Life.
( ) 5. From the study,we know that .
A. some kinds of bacteria live on our skin because of dog ownership
B. nobody finds it surprising that there should be some germ-exchanging between dogs and their owners
C. only dog ownership contributes to the sort of microbes that live on our skin
D. there would most probably be no microbe on our skin if it were not for dogs
( ) 6. The research took the following factors into consideration EXCEPT .
A. varieties of swabs from members of 60 family households
B. families with children or household pets
C. families without children or household pets
D. dogs being the only pets in the households
( ) 7. Why did researchers analyze the DNA of the bacte ria they found?
A. To search for the way microbes pass from one member of a family to another.
B. To find out the exact number of the bacteria living on human skin and dog skin.
C. To decide whether the bacteria were of the same kind or not.
D. To prove that family members who lived together had the same bacteria as the members of separate households.
( ) 8. What does this passage mainly tell us?
A. It is unsafe to keep dogs because of microbes.
B. How many kinds of bacteria live on people’s skin because of dog ownership.
C. Dog ownership affects the kinds of microbes living on people’s skin.
D. What are the similarities between people who keep dogs and those who don’t.

Recently,our school has held the meaningful discussion on whether it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmates believe we should have classes on weekends because we can make fully use of free time to review the lessons we had learnt. Some others are against the opinion,saying we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effective during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinion. They have the view which keeping the balance between work and play are important for us. They suggest one day of the weekend should used to learn our lessons and during the other day we do something interested or have a rest.

I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York,when one of my students,15-year-old Mikey,gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.
I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were forged by my students. If I were to deal with them,I’d be busy 24 hours a day.
The forged excuse notes made a large pile,with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull, “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off. ”
Isn’t it remarkable,I thought,how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes,they were brilliant.
So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents,but actually they are not. True,Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.
“Now,this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class,ever,to practice writing them.
You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”
Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God?. ” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends. The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down,looking at papers,and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office. ”
When I stepped into his office,he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson,that task,whatever the hell you were doing,was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”
( ) 5. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?
A. He reported them to the headmaster.
B. He lectured them hard on honesty.
C. He had them take notes before lunch.
D. He helped improve their writing skills.
( ) 6. The author had the students practice writing ex cuse notes so that the students could learn
A. the importance of being honest
B. how to write excuse notes skillfully
C. the pleasure of creative writing
D. how to be creative in writing
( ) 7. The underlined word “forged” in the second para graph means "________"
A. former B. copied
C. false D. honest
( ) 8. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?
A. Effective.
B. Difficult.
C. Misleading.
D. Reasonable.
