Want to save the environment? You probably can’t fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day. You can make a difference.
1. Think Green. Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you’re not watching it, you’ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you’ll save water.
2. Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you’ll really use it. Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging(包装), and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
3. Dress Green. Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want. But what really matters isn’t the colour, it’s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic(有机的) cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides(杀虫剂).
4. Study Green. What’s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn, it can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook; instead of buying a new one. If you want to do more, join an environmental group at your school, and encourage your friends to join, too.
1. The underlined phrase ＂a vintage store＂ in this passage refers to(是指) a place where you can buy ___________.
A. cheap clothes B. fashionable clothes
C. second-hand clothes D. clothes of special size
2. Which of the following acts does not agree with the writer’s green ideas?
A. Taking shorter showers.
B. Buying products with unnecessary packaging.
C. Wearing clothes made from organic materials.
D. Using both sides of a piece of paw.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Some methods to live happily.
B. Some advice to save money in daily life.
C. Some steps to live a healthy life.
D. Some ways to make one’s life green.

Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止) in China since January 2011. Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动) smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员) who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.
4. ___________ doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A. A field B. A hospital C. A library D. A restaurant
5. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ___________.
A. banning smoking is good for restaurants
B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers
6. How many advantages of banning smoking are mentioned in this passage?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
7. According to the text, the underlined word ＂adolescents＂ means ___________.
A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers
8. Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.
C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.
