任务型阅读

    The lifestyle of families has changed because of science and industry(工业).

    More Americans used to live on farms, nearly each family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Uncles and aunties often lived nearby, too. But when industry became more important than agriculture(农业)in American life, families became smaller, industry needs lots of workers. They must be ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. It isn't easier for large families to move from place to place as small families can. Today, more and more small families have appeared, smaller families may have no children and they may have only a man and a woman because keeping children is really hard work. It takes parents not only money and time, but also much more energy and makes young couples(夫妇)busy working, studying and enjoying their lives all day. They are probably not important in keeping children.

    That's why the increasing of population in most developed countries are becoming more and more slowly, In China today, each family has only one healthy child because of one-child policy.

    In this way, the country can develop farther than before and young children can have more opportunities to get education and to find suitable jobs.

(1)、Did each family only have one child in the past?

(2)、Why have the families become smaller and smaller?

(3)、What may a smaller family have?

 

(4)、Who did parents and their children use to  live with?

(5)、which countries' population increases faster, developed countries or developing countries?

How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. 

Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. "Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song," said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote "A listen—and—repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area."

Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, "I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better."

Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?

Our planet is facing a big problem. It's called environmental pollution. What is it? And why is it so bad? Let's find out! 

What is Environmental Pollution? 

Environmental pollution is that the harmful things are put into the air, water, and soil. 

These harmful things can make our planet sick and affect the life on it. 

Sources of Pollution: 

★Air Pollution 

Cars, factories, and power plants(电厂) release harmful gases into the air. 

★Water Pollution 

Factories, waste water, and plastic waste contaminate our rivers, lakes, and oceans. 

★Soil Pollution 

Chemicals from factories and pesticides from farming can harm the soil. 

Effects of Pollution: 

·Animals and plants can die. 

·Our air and water can become unsafe. 

·Climate change can get worse. 

What Can We Do? 

·Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: We should try to use less, reuse things, and recycle what we can. 

·Green Energy: Use solar, wind, or water energy instead of fossil fuels. 

·Plant Trees: Trees absorb harmful gases and give us oxygen. 

·Awareness: Tell others about the importance of protecting our environment. 

Conclusion: 

Environmental pollution is a big problem, but if we all work together, we can make our planet healthy again. Let's start taking action today! 

 阅读理解阅读下列材料,从下面每题的A、B 、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Sammie Vance, 14, knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she's been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. 

What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench(伙伴长 椅 )program. She started it when she was in the third grade, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the"buddy bench". That let other kids know someone needed a friend. "It's really helpful to have other people be able to notice you, "Sammie says. 

The idea quickly caught on (流行起来). The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. "It means a lot to me, "she says, and this is making a difference in people's lives. "

Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal(校长), her teachers, and her parents. 

Getting approval(批准)for the project was just the first step. "There have been a lot of small challenges, like money, "Sammie says. 

To reduce costs and be eco-friendly(环保的), she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Soon Sammie was getting caps from people in 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1, 200 pounds of bottle caps. A company was able to make these into three benches. 

Sammie says the effort has helped her overcome personal challenges. "I used to be really, really shy, "she says. I'm much more outgoing now. What Sammie's work shows is that we don't have to be an adult to make a difference. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. She says, "Just be kind, in general. "
