It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes. “What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.” It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true.

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Such a thing can be founded every day although it is against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan. Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poison like mercury(汞) and lead (铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really goes in the earth. Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million years. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poison in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers, Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted. The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesn’t do harm to the environment and people’s life. This year, China presents a new protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future. 1.The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from________. A. France B. Japan C. Germany D. Australia 2.The underlined word buried probably means ______ in the passage. A. 焚烧 B. 障碍 C. 回收 D. 掩埋 3. The town of Guiya in Guangdong Province_________.

And she even won an award for her love of science. Gracie started breeding chickens in her third grade at Steward School. At first, she worked on some farms for her school project.

Since then, the young science lover started to try to find the healthiest free-range (散养) chickens. And she ended up breeding a type that now bears her name. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) gave the 2015 Angela Award to Gracie Goodpasture. Her interests don’t end with chickens and eggs. She is also into building robots and testing preservatives (防腐剂) in fast foods. In her words, she wants to go to Virginia Tech for poultry (家禽) sciences in the future.

任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格(每空一词) (10分) How do you imagine the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you think of the future? People think that life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, planes will be very small, so flying will be very cheap. Everyone will have a small car. Fuel(燃料) will be new and clean but expensive. We will see robots everywhere. And space planes will take us around the world in two hours. Houses will be warm in winter and cool in summer, so they will be very comfortable. We’ll use the sunshine to heat our houses. Computers will be very small, so they’ll be very light. People will do many things on the Internet. At that time, water will become one of our most serious problems. In many places, farmers will be in great need of water to grow fruit and vegetables. By 2050, we will be able to help blind people see again or deaf people hear again. At that time, our life will become better and better.
