Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it's easy--you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.

However, making tots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn't need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don't recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.

So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn't a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.

（3）、The underlined part in this passage tells us " ".

A、To make a different life, you'd better go outside B、To look different, you'd better wear green clothes C、To protect the environment, you can do something D、To go green, you should use plastic products

A plant is a living thing. It uses its many parts to grow from a small seed to a large plant. Each part helps the plant stay healthy. Plants also need sunlight to grow. They get light from the sun and minerals from the soil. These things help the plant stay alive and grow.

They use sunlight, water and air to make a plant's food.

Flowers Flowers make seeds that can grow into new plants.

Stem The stem helps hold the plant up. It moves the food and water from the roots to the other parts of the plant

Fruit Some plants have fruit. The fruit grows around the seeds and keeps them safe.

Seeds Seeds can grow into new plants.

Roots A plant grows roots under the ground. The roots hold the plant in place.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares—bad dreams that frighten us.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can't have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn't believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people's brains while they are sleeping.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives in the Arctic Circle（北极圈） near the North Pole.

The polar bear lives in snow and ice. At the North Pole there is only snow, ice and water. There is not any land. The polar bear has a very warm coat because the weather is cold in Arctic Circle. You can't find the polar bear easily in the snow because its coat is white.

A grown-up polar bear is usually about three meters long and weights about 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid. People kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada and United States call on that people should stop killing polar bears. They don't want these beautiful animals to die out.

Lasers（激光） have many uses including improving someone's eyesight, playing DVDs, cutting the diamonds（钻石） and the list goes on and on. Now, there could be a new use for this powerful tool-changing the weather!

The Swiss scientist Jean Pierre Wolf is working on using laser beams（激光束） to change the weather for the better. He wants to use it to help stop climate（气候） change. Sounds crazy, right? Well, there is already something kind of like it.

Cloud seeding（云催化） is a way people stop rain from falling. It uses rockets to release chemicals into the atmosphere（大气层）, but it's not known what this might do to the environment. So Professor Wolf wants to find a better way to do this, and a laser is a good choice since the only thing it uses is light, not chemicals. But how would it work? According to CNN, it would make new clouds. The laser would make condensation（冷凝） happen, in other words producing drops of water. And then the water would turn into really small pieces of ice. Then clouds start to be made just naturally.

Professor Wolf's hope is to help control the weather in places like California that can face both heavy floods and droughts（干旱）.They are also trying to use lasers to control lightning. Using lasers to change the weather has been tested in a lab, and they have been quite successful in some fields. They are still trying to find out how to use it in the real world, but it could be a new way to stop climate change. "Every time you think you have done everything you can with lasers, something new comes up," said Professor Wolf. "It's quite amazing."

An invention in front of your eyes

What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair glasses.

Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.

People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and cars.

There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.

•Plant flowers, grass or trees.

•Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there—keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin.

•Turn off the lights and TV sets when you leave the room. This can save a lot of electricity.

•Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.

•Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.

•Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.

•Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.

•Use both sides of paper.

•Stop pouring dirty water into the rivers or lakes nearby.

•Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth. You don't have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.
