Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a

house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to

discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his

passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there

，

lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of

getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was try

ing to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking

him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can

（垃圾桶）

that had been left out on the

footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter

had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they

had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which

my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We

still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at

that time that there even was an environment, let

alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of

Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political

leaders,

university

professors,

and

especially

millions

of

grass-

roots

Americans

are

taking

part

in

the

movement.

“The

understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought

up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports, emissions (

排放

)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a

year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although

serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a sa

fer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking”

has become part of practices.

Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about

6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.

Twenty

–five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public

school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change! ”

say Bruce Anderson.

5.

According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about

.

A. the social movement

B. recycling techniques

C. environmental problems

D. the importance of Earth Day

6.

Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?

–

roots level

C. Government officials

D. University professors

7.

What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?

A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest

B. They have settled their environmental problems

C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.

D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.

8.

What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?

A. Education

B. Planning

C. Green living

D. CO reduction

C

One of the latest trend

（趋势）

in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stanford, for example, has got

increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to a

round 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the

country.

“I

thought

it

would

be

useful

for

him

to

learn

Chinese

at

an early

age”

Joseph

Stocke,

the

managing

director

of

a

company, says of his 2-

year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After

only six months of being cared by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily

expressions, his dad says.

Li

Drake,

a

Chinese

native

raising

two

children

in

Minnesota

with

an

American

husband,

had

another

reason

for

looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my

husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (

接触

) the language and culture.” she says

.

“Staying

with

a

native

speaker

is

better

for

children

than

simply

sitting

in

a

classroom,”

says

Suzanne

Flynn,

a

professor in language education of children. “But parents

must understand that just one

year with au pair is unlikely to

produce wonders. Com

plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”

The popularity

of

au

pairs

from

China

has

been

strengthened by

the

increasing

numbers

of

American

parents who

want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few

years.

9.

What does that term “au pair” in the text mean?

A. A mother raising her children on her own.

B. A child learning a foreign language at home.

C. A professor in language education of children.

D. A young foreign woman taking care of children.

10.

Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them

.

A. to live in China some day.

B. to speak the language at home.

C. to catch up with other children.

D. to learn about the Chinese culture.

11.

What can we infer from the text?

A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.

B. Educated woman do better in looking after children.

C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.

D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time.

36

Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wi

sdom about how to make the most of the

time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready

to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?

37

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on.

Are you making one loaf of bread?

38

It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save

yourself the effort for a future meal.

3.

39

This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.

It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you

learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start.

40

And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great

changes in the way you eat and live!

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

D. Understand your food better.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G

. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
