Chelsea Fearce is seventeen years old. There are five {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(person) in her family. They are poor and they live in a shelter(收容所). " {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(get) a shower, food and clean clothes was not easy for me," Fearce said. "I'm worried {#blank#}3{#/blank#}my family and my home life. I know I have to become much stronger, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I study hard."

    When she was in high school, Fearce often {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(stay) up late. She wanted to live a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(good) life than before. She just told {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(her) to keep working.

    Fearce overcame(克服) all the problems. She got high grades and she became {#blank#}8{#/blank#}college student. "Never give up! Do what you {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(true) have to do right now so that you can have a future that you really need {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have)." Fearce told everyone.

    We produce lots of rubbish everyday. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (collect) the rubbish. Most of it is made up of things we can't eat {#blank#}3{#/blank#} use. If we keep these things, we will have a mountain of rubbish soon.

    In some cities the rubbish. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (carry) outside the city to a dump(垃圾场). The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into a sewage system(污水处理系统). {#blank#}5{#/blank#} sewage system takes away the used water {#blank#}6{#/blank#} toilets and other places.

    People usually use some earth to cover the dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the land. After all of these, the place looks much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (clean) than before. With the beautiful environment in front of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (we), it's hard to imagine that it used to be a rubbish dump. But actually it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (health) to stay in such a place for a long time.

    In order to protect the cities, the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories. In those factories, the metal is made into different kinds of products.

    The weather is closely related(联系) to our life. It is all around us all the time. It is an important part of our lives. We can't control(控制) it,  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it often controls how and where we live and what {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) .Read this passage and learn something about the weather.

    What is weather?

    The weather is just the state of the atmosphere(大气层) at any time, such as temperature, wind, rain, sun, etc.

    What makes weather change?

    As we know, not every place on the earth gets the same amount of sunlight. Some places get more sunlight. So it's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (warm) in those places. Some places get {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (little) or no sunlight in winter. Then those places have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (low) temperatures. These {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (different) in temperature make the air and water move around the earth. The movement helps to take the heat energy from the sun {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the earth. So the weather changes.

    What's the difference between weather and climate(气候)?

    Climate is a place's weather over a long time. The weather changes from day to day and even from hour {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hour. It can be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sun) in the morning, cold and wet in the afternoon. But the climate changes very

 {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (slow) over lots of years.
