Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.

2、They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,

3、 what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example,turn off the water ta

4、ps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 1. From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school. A. eat

Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, raising the shoulders, tappin

8、g the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle(微妙的) body language of posture: Are you sitting or standing with arms or legs crossed? Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind? Even the way we dress and the colors we wea

9、r communicate things to others.So, do animals communicate? Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesnt understand.But,as we have learnt,there is more to communicate than words.Take dogs for example. They show their teeth to warn, shake their tails to

10、welcome and stand firm,with hair upright,to fight.These signals are surely the equals of the human body language of facial expressions,gestures and posture.Color can be an important means of communication for animals. Many birds and fishes change color,for example,to attract partners during the mati

11、ng season. And mating itself is commonly done after a special dance which both partners take part in.Here,again,there are striking similarities to young men and women who dress up to meet partners at parties, where the music is often too loud for word communication. Communication there takes place t

12、hrough appearance and movement.The most carefully planned dances in the animal kingdom are those that bees use to communicate. With body movements alone they can tell other bees the direction and distance of a newly discovered food. All these examples may suggest instinctive(本 能 的)rather than intell

16、s that are too dangerous for humans. For example, they are being developed to work in nuclear power center, deep under the oceans and in outer space.John Marrit, a psychologist(心理学家) in Williamsburg Massachusetts, helped develop the new machine. This is how they work. A machine is placed in an area

17、far away from the person who operates it. The person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment. The screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. Mr. Marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same

18、place as the machine. The idea, he says, is being there without going there. The person uses an electronic control to make the machine move. The machine copies the persons movements exactly. If the person raises his right arm, the machine raises the right arm, too. This means an expert can do a dang

19、erous job while staying in the safe place.

If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time diggi

24、ng, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town,

25、with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London.

30、xperiences, I advise every young person to get out of their hometown and see whats out there. Here are three ways that traveling has changed me forever.1. Traveling changes the way you connect with the world.I grew up in a small town. 16 When you travel to other countries and see the amazing beauty
