阅读理解

Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There's a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans. At any moment, about half of the world's population is wearing jeans. But according to a new study, our love for jeans may be bad for Earth. Denim (牛仔布)might be putting some sea animals in danger.

Every time we wash our jeans, tiny bits of denim will flow out of our washing machines, down into the world's rivers, lakes and oceans.

You might wonder: Isn't denim made of cotton, a natural material? How can it become a danger to nature? Well, in the process of making jeans, denim is treated with many types of man-made chemicals. Some improve its durability (耐用性)and feel; others give jeans their blue color.

Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. They found denim waste in all of the samples (样本)they had collected. It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. Scientists aren't yet sure how these chemicals might harm animals.

In the study, the scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop per wash. The answer was frightening: About 50,000. Not all of them make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants hold back 83 to 99 percent of them. This may sound pretty good, However, one percent of 50,000 bits are still 500 per wash. Now think about the number of jeans around the world and the times each of them gets washed. As a result, a large amount of denim waste still gets into the environment.

Does this mean we shouldn't wear jeans? Probably not "We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it," says Sam Athey, one of the scientists. "You don't need to wash your jeans after having worn them only a couple of times."

(1)、What influence might denim have on sea animals?
A、It might do harm to some sea animals. B、It has no influence on sea animals. C、It is good to all the sea animals.
(2)、Why do people add man-made chemicals when making jeans?

①To save the materials and make more money.

②To improve denim's durability and feel.

③To make jeans blue.

A、①② B、①③ C、②③
(3)、How many bits of denim might get into the environment every year?
A、Five hundred. B、Fifty thousand. C、Too many to count.
(4)、What should we do according to Sam Athey's words?
A、We are not supposed to wear jeans. B、We need to wash our jeans every day. C、We should buy fewer jeans and wash them fewer times.

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

One day,the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted. In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.

"Why are people not cheering for me like before?" he asked his grandfather.

"Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time," the grandfather replied.

The boy was surprised but agreed to the race. During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.

The boy asked his grandfather, "For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?" The grandfather smiled and said. "The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together. Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race."

A group of students and teachers from the U. S recently attended a study tour to Hebei. The students from Muscatine High School are part of a China program that will invite 50,000 American youths to China within five years for exchanges and study. They are the second group from the school. North China's Hebei Province and the U. S. state of Iowa signed their sister-state relationship in 1983.

On Sunday, Ann Castle, along with 31 classmates and eight teachers, took part in a study tour in Hebei from April 19 to 22, 2024. The students from both schools formed one-on-one friendly partnerships.

Ann Castle visited the home of Zhang Xinyi, a senior student at Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School. Before this, Ann Castle kept herself in learning Chinese Wushu, watching traditional Chinese dances in a park, and trying popular Chinese food. In Zhang's bedroom, the two girls found many common topics of interest. Pipa, a traditional Chinese musical instrument particularly attracted Castle's attention. "This instrument has been in China for 2,000 years. It's similar to a guitar but a bit harder to learn," Zhang told her. After Castle expressed her willing to have a try, Zhang helped her put on the pipa fingernails and shared some playing techniques. Soon, the sound of pipa filled the room. They also tasted tea and desserts, looked through family photo albums, and shared stories about their families. Everything looked so beautiful. "They've been very warm-hearted and friendly. It's been an unforgettable experience," said Castle.

Teachers and students from Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School prepared a welcome concert for the Americans filled with Chinese elements. The American students also learned an ancient Chinese poem, practiced ping pong, made dumplings, planted friendship trees and visited the Great Wall. Colin Millage, a student from America, said having a tree together with his Chinese friend is more than a friendship between them. It is a friendship between the two nations.

"We hoped the students from both countries would have enough opportunity to communicate with and affect each other during the period of just over three days," said Liu Feng, the headteacher from China. According to Scott Castle, the headteacher from America, several meetings were especially held to choose the exchange students "I have great hope for the future with these kids and the kids they've been working with."

Do you believe that we can have an important influence on anyone we meet?The right words at just the right time could1 someone's life. 

When I was 3 years old,my parents found I was2 . After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children,they decided not to put me in a special school. Although I seemed outgoing(外向的)my self﹣esteem(自尊心)was quite low. On my first day at school,the other kids3 me because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. I was hurt deeply and I saw myself as a(n)4 kid. 

Mrs. Green,my5 ,changed all of that with a simple three﹣word phrase. One morning,she asked the class a question. Sitting at my desk silently,I6 her tips(哦唇) and raised my hand right away. She called on me in front of the blackboard. I took a deep breath and7 answered Mrs. Green's question. 

I will8 forget what happened next. Mrs. Green pointed directly at me. With sparkling(闪光的)eye sand a big smile she cried: "That's right,Ben!"

For the first time in my young life,my confidence rose. At that moment,I decided that no matter how many9 I may face,I can overcome(克服)them. Thanks to those three10 words,my whole life changed from that moment.
