"Your homework is to collect sounds and take them down," Mrs. Olson said before class was over. She handed out sheets of paper shaped like giant ears.
On his way home, Colin glared out of the school-bus window. Not fair, he thought. How could he collect enough sounds on his family's farm? If only he lived in the town.
He got off the bus when it stopped at his mailbox. But he wasn't in the mood to wave as it drove away.
"I’m home！”Colin called when he pushed open the gate. He threw his schoolbag down on a kitchen chair.
"How was school?" His mother asked, walking in with his baby brother on her shoulder.
"I’ve got homework," Colin complained.
"Eat something before doing your chores." His mother gave him the animal biscuits. Colin ate two tigers, three lions, and a seal, then drank some milk.
Astrid, Colin's dog, woofed as Colin walked toward the barn（谷仓）．Her young dogs were yipping. Colin placed dog food into their pan. In the chicken house, Colin hurried two hens from their nests．He put their warm eggs into his jacket. The black cow napped in the sun. Colin woke her when he poured corn into her pan. "Moo, thank you！”she seemed to say.
Colin put the eggs in the kitchen, then climbed to his tree house as usual. He could see Dad's beehives（蜂箱） by the field. Six hives usually meant plenty of humming noise. But today he couldn't hear it over the chattering sound of the sparrows，How could a person think?
"QUIET！”Colin shouted.
Suddenly, he sat up straight. Cows mooed and young dogs yipped. Chickens crackled in their yard. When Astrid began woofing below, Colin smiled broadly. "I hear you！”he called. He hurried down from the tree.
1.Why did Colin wish he lived in the town?
A. Because living on the farm was boring.
B. Because people were treated fairly there.
C. Because the town was near his school.
D. Because collecting sounds would be easier.
2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A. Doing his homework.
B. Helping with farm work.
C. Playing with animals.
D. Babysitting his brother.
3.How many animal sounds are mentioned in the text?
A. 4.B．5．C. 6.D. 7.
4.What will Colin most probably do next?
A. Walk Astrid.
B. Gather honey.
C. Draw a giant ear.
D. Record the sounds.

Cars are everywhere. In big city and small towns, the preferred method of transportation is the automobile. People can get to where they need to go quickly and easy, and it has given a new kind of freedom to many people who may not have experienced it ago. But was driving really the best thing for our society? I argue that it is not. First, pollution was a serious problem, and more cars only make them worse. There is just not way to reduce pollution without decrease the number of cars on the road. Second, cars are very dangerous. Traffic accidents are responsible tens of thousands of deaths every year. Finally, cars are so expensive for most people to afford. However, that doesn’t stop low-income families from spending the most of their money to pay for the family car.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone can help to save the world
We are all environmentalists now. We all know about acid rain and the ozone hole. 1. As consumers we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth.
2. In this way we have the power to influence retailers (零售商) to sell us these so-called “green” products. Therefore, the supermarkets have understood the message and are now trying to improve their environmental image. They are turning to less wasteful and recyclable packaging. The range of “green” products will continue to expand to meet the growing demand. This message has also reached the manufacturers. 3. They have realized that protecting the environment may start as an advertising campaign but in the hands of intelligent people it can become a very profitable business. Besides, we can do more.
Furthermore, we also know there are other areas where all of us can make a positive contribution to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment. 4. There are a number of ways we can do this. For example, we now know how important it is to have our homes well insulated (隔热). We should choose the best energy efficient technology, such as modern light bulbs which can reduce electricity consumption by 80% over the older ones. We must also work hard to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. We all produce tons of rubbish and waste disposal has become a big problem. As an environmentally-conscious consumer we should buy products which do not have so much packaging. Also, we should try to avoid non-returnable goods at all costs. In Scandinavia and Germany, for example, plastic bottles and cans are now returnable goods.
In conclusion it is important to emphasize once again the rise of consumer power. We must realize that we are all part of the problem. 5.
A. We can all reduce energy consumption at home and so cut the emissions from power systems.
B. For example, when we walk into a supermarket we can choose to buy environmentally friendly products and reject products which damage our planet.
C. There are some other ways to protect the environment.
D. Companies are developing environmentally friendly products that maintain a high quality and a low price.
E. But what are we doing about these problems?
F. Nevertheless we must also realize that we have the responsibility to be part of the solution.
G. Everybody has the duty to contribute to a cleaner world.

How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
Mothers who feel their children don't appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them．A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations．Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77% of the time．
Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time．DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.
The students told an average of two lies a day．They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking．One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money．Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty．"They are everyday lies," says DePaulo．
DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time．In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies．
Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time．DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance．
Mothers can take heart from one other finding．They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them．The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them．
1.What is the meaning of the underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 1?
A. complaintB. opinionC. beliefD. difficulty
2.According to the passage, college students felt closest to ________．
A. motherB. acquaintances
C. best friendsD. romantic partners
3.Female students lied to their roommates to ________.
A. make them happyB. offer them the services
C. gain more securityD. get money from them
4.What is the purpose of this article?
A. To explain a theory.B. To argue an idea.
C. To tell a story.D. To present a fact.
