Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.
None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What No electricity I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电网). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. In addition, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.
Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.
4. Why did the family move to a remote town
A. Financial debt forced them to save more money.
B. Having a new lifestyle has become a trend.
C. They reached an agreement to lead a green life.
D. They got a discount on a property accidentally.
5. How did the author feel when she knew the property was non-electricity
A. Satisfied. B. Astonished. C. Relieved. D. Refreshed.
6. When the author’s kids looked back on the life off the grid, they would recall the lesson that __________.
A. saving resources makes a difference B. life is beyond our expectation
C. city chaos will disappear sooner or later D. repair the house before it rains
7. What is the text mainly about
A. How urgent it was to lead an environmental-friendly life.
B. How a family of urban-residents switched to a simple life.
C. How significant it was to better adapt to a new environment.
D. How a carbon-free lifestyle has been promoted to the country.
C
The South Bronx is one of the poorest and most polluted places in America, with smog-choked freeways and smelly wastewater treatment plants.
“We’re a dumping ground,” Omar explains. “All the garbage from the rest of New York City ends up here.”
But Omar started looking at garbage in a different way. “A lot of what people throw away is perfectly good,” he says. “Just look at that stuff from construction sites—doors, sinks, toilets. People will buy those things. It’s only called garbage because somebody threw it away.” Omar was just out of college and working for an environmental group called Sustainable South Bronx when he started considering how to get this “good garbage” to people who could use it. Instead of destroying old things, why not clean them up and resell them Why not hire people in the community to do the work Better yet, why not make this business a “cooperative,” which means the people working in the business own it and share the profits
Out of this, Omar started the first cooperative in the country dedicated to reusing construction waste. To start his business, Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled neighborhood streets, looking for people to work with him. He soon found four other dedicated workers. They rented a warehouse and started looking for donations of used materials.
In April 2008, Omar’s cooperative, ReBuilders Source, opened its business and began selling construction supplies—at reasonable prices—to neighborhood builders and home owners. With the help of city officials, he also began planning a new training program to help local residents learn the skills to get good jobs that help the environment and even start their own cooperatives. Workers were trained to carefully take buildings apart so that things like doors and windows can be reused instead of being smashed and sent off to a landfill. Deconstructing buildings this way could be a huge industry with many good jobs for people who need them.
“If you have a use for something,” Omar says, “it’s no longer waste.”
8. Why is the South Bronx mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To arouse readers’ interest. B. To serve as the background information.
C. To contrast with the other districts. D. To introduce a famous place.
9. Which was Not the reason for Omar’s creating a cooperative business
A. To provide jobs for local people.
B. To deal with dumped rubbish.
C. To increase cooperation among neighbors.
D. To make money from garbage.
10. Which of the following words best describe Omar
A. Idealistic and business-minded. B. Creative and action-oriented.
C. Practical and self-focused. D. Devoted and iron-hearted.
11. Which saying might interpret Omar’s action
A. Knowledge starts with practice. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. Four eyes see more than two. D. Kill two birds with one stone.
D
While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors—drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing, a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms.
These teens use tons of media, get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary (不爱活动的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the “invisible risk” group by the study’s authors.
The study’s authors surveyed 15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers. The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression.
The findings caught Carli off guard. “We didn’t expect that,” he says. “The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious, but this third group was not only unexpected. It was so distinct and so larger—nearly one third of our sample—that it became a key finding of the study.”
Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identifications, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders.
12. Which teenager probably belongs to the “invisible group”
A. A teenager who drinks frequently. B. A teenager who exercises regularly.
C. A teenager who skips school. D. A teenager who suffers from a lack of sleep.
13. What can we know about the new study
A. It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data.
B. It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression.
C. It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression.
D. Its findings were under expectation of the research team.
14. What is Carli’s attitude toward the findings
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
15. The author wrote this passage to __________.
A. introduce a new therapy for teens’ mental disorder
B. warn about the unobserved signals for teens’ mental problems
C. share a novel psychological experiment with teens
D. caution teens against developing unhealthy habits

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I'd had lunch. A bright smile flashed on her face when I said I hadn’t. The family invited me to enjoy the lunch together. Originally, I refused but watching their enthusiastic faces I nodded with gratitude. We shared a wonderful meal, over which they shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch. the girl’s mother put a paper bag in my Jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. Inside the bag were some fruits. I was also surprised to find the $ 20 bill. I was overcome with a mixture of respect and gratitude. It was awesome to know that while many people tend to ignore those in need, there are some kind-hearted ones who go out of their way (特地,不怕麻烦) to lend a hand. The good deed the foreign family did will never escape me. I’m sure I will pay it forward (把爱传出去)!
【读后续写·范文2:语言简朴版】
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I'd had lunch. I smiled and told her “Not yet. She then quickly ran up to her mommy and returned with a taco (墨西哥玉米卷) and a paper bag. She grinned and said word by word in English, "Eat now, open later," while she pointed at the bag. “Gracias (谢谢,西班牙语)” I nodded with the only Spanish word I knew. I thanked the family again before I waved them goodbye. The father gave me a big smile and started their truck getting on their way.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. I found my twenty-dollar bill lying in it. I was dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的). Starving as I was, I could not take a bite at the tasty taco. It was just too overwhelming (令人不知所措的). Since that instance, I always tried to help people stuck on the roadside with car troubles. Because I knew, on the road, there might be people as kind as that family.
