Universities are doing everything they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more eco-friendly.
1. Recycle everything, especially paper!
There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through every term. 1. We know that these things can’t be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.
2. Buy green.
2. Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be bought as recycled goods. They’re slightly more expensive than the normal products, but it’s worth it to make a green campus.
3. Walk and bike to school.
Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transit (公共交通系统). 3. Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university.
4. 4.
A water bottle can be refilled at any water fountain and can easily be drunk in class or while riding a bike. This will save the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic waste on your campus.

A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school’s teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night’s sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.
‘There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,’ said Mr Holloway. ‘At Hampton Court House we don’t think we have the answer for everybody; it’s about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.’ He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. ‘I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,’ said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
1.Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A. It may be good for students’ study.
B. Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C. Students were often late for school.
D. Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
2.What can we learn about the new start time?
A. It’s suitable for every student.
B. It was based on scientific research.
C. Students are following the new school time now.
D. Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
3.Experts think young people’s getting up later ________.

C. is because of laziness
D. is helpful to their study
4.In Mr. Holloway’s eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.

Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of setting goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling (攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate(形成) a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By setting goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal setting means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may happen as well as the solutions（解决方法）to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges happen because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.

A. positiveB. carefulC. braveprepared

A. take an active attitude
B. create a scheme as a whole

The average（平均的）American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:
*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.
*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
1.Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?
A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.
C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.
2.Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?
A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.
C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.
D. Children like to snack while watching TV.
3.What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?
A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D. It will make children sleep easier.
4.What is the purpose of this text?
A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.
B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.
The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候选人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.
But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn’t vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.
This is not only because young people don’t like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.
“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (税), they care about schools and the community.”
Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don’t vote.
Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they haven’t learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.
1.What percentage of young voters wouldn’t go to vote?
A. 9 percent.B. 12 percent.C. 20 percent.D. 55 percent.
2.According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because ________.
A. they don’t like either of the candidates
B. their parents don’t like to vote
C. they don’t think it is a part of their life
D. they have no work and care little about living problems
3.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. US Young Not Voting
B. US Young and Their President
C. Young People’s Power
D. Voting for the New US President
