When I was in the sixth grade, one day my teacher asked our class to think about the question “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you?” over the weekend. We could talk to our parents or anyone else we thought might have a good answer.  1  Monday, we were to hand in an essay（论文） on it, and be prepared to live up to our  2 .        

The entire weekend, I was trying to  3  something that would impress my teacher and be easy to live by. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother and asked my neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could live up to them.

On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my Aunt Cindy’s house. That usually 4  that I would have to entertain my four-year-old cousin Andrea  5  my parents visited. I found a Disney movie for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write my essay. It was due（到期的）the next morning and this was my last  6  .

Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea.  “What are you doing?” Andrea asked. “I have to write an essay about what ‘doing the right thing’ means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. Could this smart four-year-old 7 know the answer?  “That’s easy,” she said. “Doing the right thing means being nice to your family and friends. Never lie. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Take a bath when you’re 8 . And never put rocks in your mouth.”

I stared with great  9  at my little cousin. Then I jumped up and gave her the biggest hug. Not only had Andrea answered a very tough question for me, but I could easily live by  10  of her answers. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself clean and healthy, and never put rocks in my mouth. So when I wrote my essay, I  11  the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question.

Two weeks later, my teacher returned everyone’s essays. I  12  an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written at the top: “Always do the right thing and give Andrea an A+, too!”

从方框内选择恰当的选项补全对话（有两个多余选项）
A: Are you free this weekend?
B:      1      .
A: Let’s go to Beijing Zoo!
B:      2      .
A: Because I hear eight pandas have just arrived there.
B: Really?     3      .
A: They’re from Sichuan, and they will welcome the friends all over the world during the Beijing Olympic games.
B: That’s great!     4     .
A: I also hear the eight pandas like to eat apples. Why not take some apples?
B:    5    . Can’t you see “ No Feeding” in the zoo?
A: Sorry, I forgot it. Well, remember to take a camera.
B: OK!

A.Why do you want to go to the zoo? B.Yes,what’s up?（怎么了） C.We’d better（最好） not. D.Have a good time! E.Where are they from? F.I’d love to go with you. G.What about you?

1.Holly: How I miss the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots(腐烂) away.

2.Jimmy: More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the

importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

3.Samantha: Organic products(有机产品) are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also do harm to our health in some way.

4.Patria: I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides(农药).

5.Derrick: Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And it is tastier."

B．Market research shows that small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet the need.

C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless ways of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly(环保) products have made pollution problem more serious. Millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and care about the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo be bad for the environment?" "Can this be reused or can it only be used once?"

E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have emphasized it in their advertising that their products are clean and safe enough for people.

F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

What makes a successful speech? First, you should have a good speech script (稿子) so that your ideas and language can attract people's attention. And some skills are necessary, too.

Here are some suggestions on giving great speeches_:

◆Beat nerves

Relax yourself before and when making a speech. Practice your opening sentence three or four times. This will help make a sure start and a successful speech. When you stand on the stage, think of the audience(观众) as your family members and friends.

◆Keep it natural

Natural body languages will help your speech: smile, stand straight and look at the audience. Do not drop your head or play with a pen. Also, dressing yourself nicely will help the audience feel respected.

◆Pace and pause (节奏和停顿)

Pace and pause add color to your speech. Speak fast enough to keep people excited and slowly enough for people to fully understand you. After an important point, pause for a moment. It'll change the atmosphere (气氛)in the audience.
