Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保護(hù)) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收獲) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐溝) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (灑水器).
小題1:The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.
A．嫉妒B．環(huán)保C．未成熟的D．健康的

A．Treating wastewater needs much energy.

A．washing fruit and vegetables under a tap
B．using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables
C．making sure taps are fully turned off all the time
D．turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth
小題4:Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Save Water by Turning off the Tap

Do you know how to write an English letter? It is different from the Chinese letter. When we write a letter in English, we should write the date on the top of the right corner. Sometimes we write the insideaddress(信內(nèi)地址)---the number of the house and the names of the street, city and country. Then we can begin the letter at the left corner. We always use words like “Dear sir”, “Dear Mr/Miss/Mrs …”to begin the writing. At the end of the letter, we usually use expressions as “Yours”, “Yours ever” or “Yours sincerely”. Then sign the writer’s name.

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威脅). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect (效果) on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel compunctious. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
小題1:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．How to make rules.B．Why to make rules.
C．Why to punish kids.D．How to educate kids.
小題2:Which of the following is the most popular way to punish kids?
A．Beating them.
B．Telling them empty threats.

小題3:In the writer’s opinion, which is thought to be the best way to express anger to kids?
A．Punishing them.
B．Keeping silent.
C．Asking them to do some housework.
D．Telling them how disappointed you are.
小題4:The underlined word “compunctious” in the passage means “       ” in Chinese.
A．激動(dòng)的B．無聊的C．刺激的D．內(nèi)疚的
