(2017·山东枣庄中考)Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service(社区服务). Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here？” I did not know how to answer the question.

The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.

I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward(尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now？” she said, “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry！” “Sorry，” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

(2017·山东枣庄中考)We often face the following situations in our daily life：

·The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.

·The family across the street never cleans up their yard.

·The rubbish blows into your yard.

·The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.

Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me？”

These days, many people don't know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!

When you don't know someone, it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry，” or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate(激怒) you. Often, they don't even know that they're making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.

When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.

If talking doesn't work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Finally, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way.

The School of the Air is actually a school for children who live in the outback, and who are in a place which doesn't have a local school. So we have air lessons over the radio. Our teacher is at Port Augusta, a city which is about 160 kilometers away.

Most people in South Australia live in the big cities, there are some people who live on farms in the outback. My mother lived in Melbourne before she met my father, so she knows about city life.

And from then until 12, we just do our normal lessons. In the afternoons, our mom makes us do some homework—well, not homework, but extra work.

(2018·山东青岛市北二模改编)Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends.

(2018·山东济南天桥期末改编)Hi! I am Li Langjing, 15. I study at Korowa Anglican Girls' School in Melbourne, Australia. I love music and traveling. I would like to share my stories with you!

Volunteers are probably some of the most overlooked people. But no activity would carry on smoothly without hard­working volunteers.

This month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne. Although I didn't have as much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.

My job was to give a high­five to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, we saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, we reached out our hands and yelled “Good job” excitedly.

However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and touched their hands with mine, my arms got sore(酸的). To make things worse, it became hotter. Our clothes were all wet because of the sweat and we felt tired.

But soon we saw a group of kids running towards us­they were about six years old. Although they could hardly catch their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said，“High­five！”

At that moment, I was quite touched—they were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt myself become full of strength. I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys！”

That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we meet different people and see the spirit that moves them. Even if such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can encourage us a lot when we do see it occasionally(偶尔)．

(2018·山东济南历下期末改编)The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University has turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers. So that they can discover what the old really need while driving. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and happiness among older people. It may make them become more lonely.

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team is developing some new technologies that are used inside cars. They want to make it possible to help older drivers to continue driving into later life. These technologies include custom­made navigation(定制导航) tools, night vision(可视) systems and intelligent speed systems. Phil Blythe explains，“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for keeping their independence, giving them the freedom to get out without having to depend on others. But we all have to accept that fact: as we get older, we do everything more and more slowly. As a result, it's difficult for older people to avoid any possible dangers while they are driving. And many of them will lose confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”

Dr. Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to solve these problems.” For example, most of us would expect older drivers to slower than everyone else. But surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones(区域), they try to keep at a constant speed. Some of them even break the speed limit(限制) and face to be punished. we're going out of our way to set up systems which can control their speed as a way of preventing that.

“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to make sure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”

1．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?

A．To repair some old cars.

B．To design new types of cars.

C．To find out older drivers' problems.

D．To teach people traffic rules.

2．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A．It keeps them independent.

B．It helps them save time.

C．It builds up their creativity.

D．It is good for their health.

3．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A．Improve their driving skills.

B．Help them continue to drive cars.

C．Recycle iron from their old cars.

D．Organize a driving club for the old.

4．The expression “constant speed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ” in Chinese.

A．超速 B．限速

C．匀速 D．变速

5．What is the best title for the passage?

(2018·山东济南历城期末改编)How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or recycle them? How about eating them?

The bags are not completely bad for the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural materials. It looks and feels just like a common plastic bag, but can break down(分解) easily.

Ashwath Hedge who set up the EnviGreen company spent four years doing experiments with 12 kinds of natural materials. They include potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the materials into liquid(液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.

Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to The Wall Street Journal, it takes 1，000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview. He put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.

There are more than 15，000 tons of plastic waste in India every day. But only 9，000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.

(2018·山东济南历城期末改编)More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.

Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science. Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allows students to learn at their own pace(步幅). Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home，” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads have a bad influence on students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face­to­face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students' daily lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
