The name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.
He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.
Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read, "Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way."
While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.
They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The city of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said, "The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it."
"If this doesn’t work we can take action — people can tell us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste."
"We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners."
Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said, "I always clean up after my dog. It’s very irresponsible if you don’t."
"There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer."
"It’s good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference."
1.What does Pooperman try to do?
A.To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.
B.To advise the local government to protect the environment.
C.To praise responsible dog owners for protecting the environment.
D.To remind the local government to deal with the dog waste problem.
2.What does the underlined part "rounded on" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Punished. B.Blamed.
C.Laughed at. D.Worried about.
3.According to the environmental officer, the public can .
A.punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary
B.report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possible
C.force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some way
D.request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there
4.The dog owner Sue Grace believes that .

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U.S. The restaurants are not“fast food” . They are known as“fast casual” .
Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’ s has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald’ s net income dropped by about $300 million. The January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald’ s is struggling to get their customers back, Shake
Shack, is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share. Being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S. include Chipotle and Panera.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’ restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’ s new. It’ s creative, it’ s something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald’ s. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms. Riggs says,“It’ s growing by leaps and bounds, because they meet consumers’ needs. They know it’ s being prepared while they wait, it’ s fresh, quality food, good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”
Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.
1.What’ s the trouble with McDonald’ s?
A. Its share goes down to $21.
B. Shake Shack has taken its place.
C. It’ s not popular with Americans.
D. Its sales and income have dropped.
2.We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________.
A. don’ t like fast food any more
B. care only about the quality
C. like to try something new
D. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual
3.What does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds”in Para. 3 mean?
A. Steadily. B. Rapidly.
C. Slowly. D. Normally.
4.Which of the following best describes fast casual?
A. Fresh-made and tasty.
B. High-quality and expensive.
C. Farm-to-table and traditional.
D. Time-consuming and special.

Three boys and three girls boarded a bus to Lauderdale, Florida, dreaming of golden beaches. When the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson Restaurant, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.
Shortly after a snack, they went back to the bus and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years. Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.
“When in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, she could just forget me; I’d understand. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a big oak tree just as you come into town. Last week, I wrote her again. I told her that if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it and I’d go on through.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and crying, doing small dances of joy. The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
1.What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey?
A. The Howard Johnson Restaurant.
B. A silent man.
C. Golden beaches.
D. A well-dressed man
2.The young people on the bus try to imagine Vingo may be a person EXCEPT_________.
A. a sea captain
B. an old soldier going home

3.Vingo wrote a letter to his wife again last week to ________.
A. ask for her forgiveness
B. beg her to allow him back home
C. tie a yellow handkerchief to the oak tree
D. make sure if she was still in love with him
4.Why did all the young people shout with joy when they arrived in Brunswick?
A. They were approaching their destination.
B. They were surprised to see so many welcoming people.
C. They were sure that Vingo’s wife was expecting him home.
D. The oak tree was still standing there welcoming Vingo back home.
5.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Going home
B. Vingo and his wife
C. Yellow handkerchiefs
D. The relationship between Vingo and the young people

Bluebirds looking secretly from nest boxes. Tadpoles swimming in a pond. Tiger swallowtails flying quickly around a butterfly bush. And over here, a class of students watching it all. A field trip to a nature center? No, it’s a schoolyard. With some work on your part, it could even be your schoolyard.
Interested in building a schoolyard habitat? Here’s how to get started.
Gather a Team
Students can do a lot on their own, but you’ll need adults for a project this big. Get teachers, parents, and even the headmaster interested. Don’t forget the maintenance(维修)staff—they know more about your school’s yard than anyone else and can give you lots of help. Also, ask around your neighborhood for gardeners, naturalists, and others willing to give advice.
Map Your Site
Which part of the schoolyard can you turn into a habitat? Is there an unused corner of the playground? Part of a lawn or field you could let go wild? You’ll need to make a map of the area showing what’s there now. Then you can figure out how you want to change it. For that, you need a plan.
Plan a Habitat
Here’s what you’ll need to make your area attractive to wildlife.
Food: Plant flowers, bushes, and trees. These provide seeds, berries, leaves, flowers, and sweet liquids. And all of these feed birds, and insects. You can also add some feeders for squirrels and birds. Where possible, stick with native plants—wild plants that grow naturally in your area. They need less care, which means less work for you.
Water: A small pond, birdbath, or even a shallow dish of clean water in the ground will attract birds. Other small animals like insects may visit as well.
Shelter: Bushes and trees make great escapes for birds. Tall grass and “weeds” are home to grasshoppers, garter snakes, and some ground-nesting birds. You can also add stone piles and brush piles.
Places to Raise Young: Butterflies need special plants to lay their eggs on. Frogs and toads lay eggs only in shallow water. Many birds use birdhouses; others nest in trees and bushes. In fact, nearly all your shelters may become homes for wild young.
Put It on Paper
Using the map you made of your area, draw in the changes you want to make. Mark where the plants, nest boxes, and other items will go. Remember, this is a long-term plan—you don’t have to do everything this spring. Maybe you could put up a few birdhouses and plant some butterfly bushes now and save the trees and bushes for next year. Even a small start is a big step for wildlife.
Reach for Resources
To make the habitat happen, you’ll need lots of plants, seeds, and other supplies. You’ll also need to buy or borrow tools and maybe even some heavy equipment. Now’s the time to reach out for donations. Start by asking your parent-teacher organization. Then go to garden clubs, garden stores (they might give you a discount), local government agencies, and businesses. If they can’t donate supplies or money, ask if they can donate workers!
The workers can help build the habitat. You’ll also need people to help maintain it. Some schools ask their students’ families to take turns during the summer. Each family maintains the habitat for a couple of weeks.
Build Your Design
Now you can dig in. Set a date, and get growing!
1.What is this article mostly about?
A. How to start a wildlife habitat.
B. Making a place where animals can hide.

2.The section “Plan a Habitat” is mostly about___________.
A. finding a place to use for the habitat
B. how to raise money for the habitat
C. finding people to work on the habitat
D. how to attract wildlife to the habitat
3.The main purpose for creating a nature habitat at school would be to___________.
A. improve the school’s appearance
B. raise money for other school projects
C. teach students more about nature
D. convince people to work as volunteers
4.How has the author organized the article?
A. By giving step-by-step instructions.
B. By listing both sides of an argument.
C. By telling a story, from beginning to end.
D. By listing facts, from most to least important.
