before they buy. They also want to let people who make the products know that they want less waste in
packaging. So they start a campaign to help people change how they shop.

    Plants and animals, including humans, need food and water to live on. These are from the natural resources
(资源) on Earth. To protect these resources, we need to keep the air clean and the water drinkable. We need
to keep the soil healthy. How do we do that?
* Protect the land
    The soil that covers fields and farms provides much of the food we eat. Human activities such as plowing (耕) fields, mining (采矿), and building highways can destroy (破坏) the land. Erosion happen when wind and
water carry away the soil. Soil erosion can turn rich farmland into a desert wasteland. So does this mean we
shouldn"t build a highway or plow a field? Of course not. But it does mean we might think about Earth-friendly
ways of doing those things.
    Today farmers plow their fields in different ways to prevent erosion. They try to use less water for their
crops. They keep animals from eating the growing grass in just one area. Farmers also plant trees to prevent
erosion from happening.
* Save the Trees
    Another human activity that damages the land is deforestation (采伐森林). People take away a large number
of trees from a forest. Millions of square kilometers of forest disappear each year. When this happens, many
plants and animals lose their places to live. They may die out, or become very few. Scientists haven"t even
discovered all the living things in the forest. We may be losing some without even knowing they are there.
Trees absorb (吸收) and use carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) when they make food. Environmentalists encourage
careful management of the forests. They ask people to replant trees after they cut down the forest. 
* Recycle, Reuse, Reduce
     People throw a piece of paper into the wastebasket after using it. The paper becomes trash. Where does
the trash go next? Much of our trash ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). They take up valuable land and
sometimes pollute the water, air, and land around them. More than a third of the trash in landfills is paper.
Recycling, reusing, and reducing what you throw away can cut down on the need for more landfills. In fact,
we can recycle about eighty percent of household trash.
1. What does the underlined word "erosion" mean?
[     ]
A. Plowing fields and mining.
B. Cutting down trees and farming.
C. Wind and rain carrying away soil.
D. Building highways on the farmland.
2. How do farmers prevent erosion now?
[     ]
A. They try to use more water for their crops.
B. They stop animals from eating the growing grass in just one area.
C. Farmers also plant flowers to prevent erosion from happening.
D. They move to another place.
3. Why do we need to save the trees?
[     ]
A. To discover more new trees every year.
B. To make more money.
C. To take away a large number of trees from the forest.
D. To keep good places for animals and plants to live in.
4. How much of the trash can we recycle?
[     ]
A. All the trash.
B. Very little.
C. One third.
D. Four fifths.
5. What"s the purpose of the author writing the passage?
[     ]
A. To ask people to look for places to plant trees.
B. To tell people how to protect natural resources.
C. To show how the lands are destroyed by people.
D. To discuss ways of protecting animals and plants.

    Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both   1  , plant a
lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a   2   place.
    Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were   3   to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers
told us that the trees   4   soon after they were planted because they weren"t watered well enough.   5   workers
burned them and cleaned the place for   6   trees to be planted this year.   7   a card found in one of the dead
trees, a student wrote:"I hope this tree will grow up with me to   8   the backbone (栋梁) of our country."
The workers said that the survival (存活) of the trees was really more important than   9   trees were planted. 
    Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate (损赠) some money and let professionals
(专业人士) plant and  10  the trees.

    Every day at least 10000 persons in the world die of starvation, according to the World Health Organization.
One-third to one-haft of the earth"s population is under-nourished (营养不良的) even though more than the
necessary food for everyone on earth is available (可获得的).
    Many nutrition experts (营养学家专家) say that one of the reasons people starve is that they are willing to
eat only the kind of foods they are used to. For example, enough rice to feed 1000 Chinese would be left to
spoil among Eskimos, who don"t eat rice. A store house full of bacon that would be food in many places
around the world would mean nothing to millions of East Indians, who won"t eat pork (猪肉) for religious
reasons. Another group of East Indians, called Hindus, won"t eat beef because their religion forbids it. Instead
of being butchered, cows are allowed to roam (闲逛) freely in the streets in Indian cities.
    Thousands of scientists in all parts of the world are working to change soybeans (黄豆) and fish meal into
food that people of different nationalities will eat. Both soybeans and fish meal are high in protein (蛋白质) and
are available in large quantities. These scientists feel that human eating habits are often at the bottom of the
world-wide food problem.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
[     ]
A. The World Health Organization says people are starving.
B. There is enough food for everyone.
C. People"s eating habits are one of the causes of the world-wide food problem.
D. Scientists are malting food from fish meal.
2. This passage is written _____.
[     ]
A. to explain one of the reasons people die of starvation
B. to explain why there are always starving people
C. to persuade people to eat food of soybeans and fish meal
D. to describe the eating habits of the East Indians
3. East Indians won"t eat pork _____.
[     ]
A. because they don"t know what pork is
B. for religious reasons
C. because they prefer to starve
D. for health reasons
4. Cows are free to _____ in the streets in Indian cities.
[     ]
A. be butchered
B. walk here and there slowly
C. run quickly
D. do everything
5. Hindus won"t eat beef because _____.
[     ]
A. cows roam in the streets
B. they are East Indians
C. they don"t like beef
D. their religion forbids it
