The day before yesterday, when Peter’s family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrong doing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.

Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.

This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”

Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.

1.What did Peter remember doing in middle school?

A. Something fantastic. B. Something unpleasant.

C. Something valuable. D. Something useful.

2.What color were the words “Neil Stone is a fool!”?

A. Dark blue B. Light green.

C. Pure white. D. Bright red.

3.What does the underlined word “denying” mean?

A. 夸大 B. 贊同 C. 否認 D. 承認

4.When did Neil know who wrote the words on the school main road?

A. Ten years ago. B. The day before yesterday.

C. This morning. D. Not until Peter told him.

5.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Peter’s story. B. An unforgettable lesson.

C. It’s never too late. D. Every dog has its day.

These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.

Green building means “reducing the impact (影響) of the building on the land”Taryn Holowka of the U.S Green Building Council in Washington, D. C. said.

According to Holowka, buildings account for(占了) 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.

But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests.

Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”

The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the lace(邊) of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.

The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.

Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It's going to be big.”

1.A green building is often built on an area of land________.

A. which has thick forests around

B. which has already been developed for building

C. where people of high income live

D. where traveling around by car is most convenient

2.When Holowka says in the last paragraph, "It's going to be big", she means that green buildings________.

A. will be more comfortable

B. will take the place of traditional buildings

C. will become popular in the future

D. will be more environmentally friendly

3.What is the main subject discussed in the text?

A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U. S.

B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.

C. Green buildings help save environment.

D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.

4.Which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. The Solaire can reduce the impact of the building on the land.

B. Everyone is not eager to move into a green building.

C. Marty Dettling has come up with the idea of green buildings.

D. In the U.S, buildings consume(消耗) more than half of the total electricity.

My parents decided try a new Western restaurant last weekend, so I went with them. The evening started well and the menu looks good. I had soup with my starter but the waiter didn't bring a spoon so it was getting a bit cold after I could eat it. Then, for our main course, I had a piece of beef. Besides, I couldn't cut the beef because of my knife wasn't very good. For my dessert I had a apple pie but I didn't have a fork or a spoon so I ate them with my fingers! What a terribly experience!

Richie Kraus thinks all kids should receive birthday presents. And he's willing to give up his own presents to make that happen.

When Richie was six, he helped collect holiday gifts for children whose families couldn't afford presents. He started thinking about how much he liked getting presents on his birthday. He asked his mom, "If we get kids presents during the holidays, who gets them presents on their birthdays?"

Richie wanted to raise money for those birthday presents. So his mom helped him create the 2U Fund. The name 2U came from the well-known song "Happy Birthday to You."

Richie explains how the fund works: "On our birthdays, we ask our friends to make a donation instead of giving us presents." Richie attaches a special sticker to his party invitations. The sticker tells about the 2U Fund and invites guests to participate, Richie and his mom then give the money to a local charity that has agreed to partner with them. The people at the charity make sure the donations go toward birthday presents for kids in need.

Richie has had three 2U parties. "It just feels really, really good to help other kids," he says.

Richie has encouraged others to try giving up some of their birthday presents to help others. His younger brother, Max, had a 2U party. Some of Richie's friends did, too. He also spoke about the idea at a summer camp and at a school assembly (集會). "There were close to 200 students and teachers in the assembly," Richie' s teacher, Janel McCormick, says. "They all wanted to help support 2U."

Since Richie and his family started the 2U Fund, dozens of kids have helped raise more than $7,000. That money has bought dolls, books, and many other birthday toys for kids in need.

1.Before Richie created the 2U Fund, he .

A. had very few friends
