Imagine this: your parents go away on business. but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?

     “I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup,but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn’t know what to do,or how to look after ourselves”’ said Zheng Chenyu. “And I'd forget something important. I'd probably watch television and burn the soup. ”

     “As soon as I leave home,I'll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.

      Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college.

      However,Li Ping doesn’t think so.

     “I think I'd be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion,many teenagers depend too much on their parents,and there is much more to learn than cooking,like tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly.

      For most teenagers it wouldn’t be a holiday at all.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問(wèn)題。

1. Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?

2. When will Zheng Chenyu learn to cook?

3. What's Li Ping's idea about many teenagers’ life?

5. What do you learn from this passage?

     We know that driving less reduces air pollution. But there's another way to help out: drive green cars.

     Green here means new energy. The green cars either use less gas,or no gas at all. Some of them use electricity. So they produce less air pollution.

     More and more people are willing to take them,because every kilometer they travel means a reduction in PM 2. 5 emissions. You have probably seen many in the street.

     Many cities and regions will promote the use of green cars. If a person buys a new energy car,the government will give him or her some money back.

     But still,many people don’t want green cars. Green cars need to charge regularly. It takes one and a half hours to charge an electric car,but this only allows the car to drive 200 km. Also,you can’T charge green cars at home. You have to drive them to a special charging station.

But,think about the air pollution. Maybe the trouble is worth it.
