To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags.But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead(铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children.Now, there’s a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.
“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，”Charles Schumer, a government official said.“Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”
The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix supermarkets from Florida supermarkets to test them for lead.The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials.Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish.Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food.But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out.When this happens, lead can be freed.
The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida.But Publix has more than 1，000 stores across America.Publix says that its bags don’t break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce(降低) the lead levels in them.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures.Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead.People worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth.Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.
1.What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags ________．
A. can’t be reused
B. can be a danger to people
C. are a waste of money
D. are as bad as paper bags
2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”．
A. bags B. foods
C. supermarkets D. officials
3.Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when ________．
A. food is put in them
B. they are thrown away
C. they are put with other rubbish
D. the paint is separated from them
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A. The return of paper bags
B. Time to invent greener shopping bags
C. The safety of shopping bags
D. Look out for reusable shopping bags

I’ve been really lucky this year. Not only did I have the opportunity to live in France, but I was able to see some other countries with my girlfriend. Now she is studying in Essen, a large city in Western Germany. I recently went to stay with her-----it was my first visit to Germany! Essen is a very large city. It has all the conveniences of any large city so I felt immediately at home. I love the variety of shops, restaurants, shopping malls, cocktail bars, nightclubs, parks and even a lake. There is also a city-wide network of trams, which makes getting around a piece of cake!
I found the people to be really friendly, and most Germans speak very good English which made life easy for me. I was surprised by the casual attitude to alcohol in Germany, where it seems normal for people to drink beer on the street, or on the tram. My girlfriend and I visited two famous local cities, Dǘsseldorf and Cologne, which are both on the Rhine River. Dǘsseldorf is an urban metropolis with a great variety of restaurants. We took a boat tour on the river and went up the Rhine tower, a really tall building which offers great views across the city. Cologne, as you might know, is world famous for its perfumes. The cathedral there is an unmissable landmark. We made the effort to climb to the top of one of the cathedral’s tower. The spiral(螺旋的) stairs seemed endless, but it was worthwhile for the impressive sights from the top.
We also went in a cable car over the river and tasted a German delicacy called “Spaghettieis” which is ice cream with strawberry sauce! I also got to try the famous German sausage. I must admit, I really enjoyed the food! The only disappointment was the grey and rainy weather, which proves that Britain does not have the worst weather in Europe!
1.Why did the writer feel lucky this year
A. He will have a chance to live in Germany.
B. He met his girlfriend in France by chance.
C. He got an opportunity of learning in Germany.
D. He was able to live in France and visit other countries.
2.What do Dǘsseldorf and Cologne have in common
A. They are both famous for unique perfumes.
B. They both serve traditional German sausage
C. They both have many towers with a long history.
D. they both offer wonderful views from the tower top.
3.According to the writer, which country has the worst weather in Europe
A. Britain. B. Germany.
C. France. D. Italy.
4.What can be the best title of the passage
A. An unforgettable trip. B. A guide to the Germany.
C. My first visit to Germany. D. A brief introduction of Germany.

Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.
As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(日历) to guide the agricultural production in China.

A. was used to measure the shadow of the sun
