The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

(1)、When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

A、both day and night B、day C、neither day nor night  D、night
(2)、A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.

A、the pushing   B、the pulling C、the spinning       D、the passing
(3)、At the equator day is as long as night ________.

A、sometimes  B、never   C、usually D、always
(4)、When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.

(5)、When it is winter in China,  ________.

A、the USA is tilted toward the sun B、the South Pole is tilted away from the sun C、the North Pole is tilted toward the sun D、the North Pole is tilted away from the sun

In 2009, Shawn Seipler worked for an American technology company. His job required him to travel and visit companies all over America. One evening, he was sitting in his hotel room. He began to wonder what happened to the soap in the bathroom once he left the hotel. There was no way that it could be left in the room for someone else to use. Curious, he asked the hotel manager and was told that the used soap was thrown away and replaced. 

Shawn could not sleep that night. A quick Internet search told him that there were about 4. 6 million hotel rooms in America. If 60 percent of these were used every night, over one million bars of soap would be thrown away every day. Was this really necessary? The young man went on to read reports about the importance of handwashing. He learned that thousands of children were dying every day from diseases related to bad hygiene (卫生) . If the children washed their hands with soap, the number of deaths could be reduced by half. The following day, Shawn left his well-paid job. He approached (靠近) the Holiday Inn Hotel in Orlando and asked if he could take away their used soap. He transported it to his home, where he and his relatives began to break it down, so it could be used again. 

Shawn started his charity, Clean The World, and began distributing his recycled soap to children all over the world. His another big task was to communicate with other hotels, so he could take away their used soap. He found that he was really doing the hotels a big favour. Not only was he putting their soap to good use, but he was also preventing millions of bars of used soap from ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋地) every year. His charity was able to raise money by charging the hotels for this service. In return, the hotels could tell everyone they were part of an amazing new charity. 

Today, the charity has offices overseas and operates in China, India and Canada. Many of the biggest hotel groups in the world are working with Clean The World, helping to save lives. 

 请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意, 然后从方框所给的词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。

high return this look but stay poem hold same performance traditional

In ancient China, when friends or relatives were separating, they would pick a willow twig(柳条) and give it to the person who was leaving and wished for him {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In Chinese, the word for "willow" has the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} pronunciation as the word for "stay". 

Many Chinese poets liked writing about willows in their works. One of the most famous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is A Farewell Song(《送元二使安西》)by Wang Wei. It reads, 

No dust is raised on the road met with morning rain,

The willows by the hotel{#blank#}4{#/blank#} so fresh and green.

I invite you to drink a cup of wine again,

West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.

Nowadays, willow twigs can also be seen in modern art. There was an amazing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about willow twigs. 365 people were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} willow twigs in their hands on the green stage. At the same time, an ancient painting of weeping willows appeared on the LED screen. The setting of 365 people stood for 365 days, and the colour green meant the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of spring. The performance was{#blank#}8{#/blank#} praised by the audience. " I was totally attracted by {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Chinese culture, " one of them said. 

In short, giving a willow twig to a person is not saying goodbye {#blank#}10{#/blank#} asking him to stay. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} is the beauty of Chinese culture.

 Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

 During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

 He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

 Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.

 My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

 That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
