Different Ways to Save Energy
What are some good ways to save energy? We have interviewed some teenagers around the world and they
talk about some ways that everyone can do to save energy.
Li Hua from China
“We should recycle and reuse more in our life. It is a good
way to reduce energy by recycling what we can. It’s very
important for us to save energy because the energy on the earth is
limited.
Mike from America
“We should save water around our house. Finding ways to
save water at home can help you save energy. Some quick ways to
save water include: taking shorter showers and turning off taps
when you’re not using. We should save energy all the time because
energy is very useful in our life.”
Maria from Germany
“Lights, televisions and computers use lots of energy. You can
save energy by turning off lights when you leave a room, turning
off the television when you are done watching. We could save lots
of money by saving energy each year.”Jason from Canada
“If your house has central heating, you can save energy by
setting the temperature at or close to your comfort limits. In
summer, this is around 26 degrees. Saving energy is good for our
environment.”

“I don’t want to go, Miss White. I’m frightened, very frightened,” Monica told her teacher. Monica was a very
quiet girl. She always sat at the back of the classroom, reading or taking notes. Every Monday morning, there
would be a special show in her class and one student would be chosen to make a speech about his or her dream.
Miss White hoped that Monica could have a try the next week. But she refused.
“I know that it seems difficult for you, but it will help you build up your confidence,” said Miss White.
Monica was lost in thought.
The next day, Monica came to Miss White’s office. Miss White was glad that she would take the chance. Miss
White red-penciled her manuscript(手稿) of speech, corrected her pronunciation and even helped with her body
language. She advised Monica to practice, to imagine that she was speaking confidently in front of her class. For a
whole week, Monica practiced speaking in front of her imaginary friends and teacher. Behind the locked door of
her bedroom, she told them about her dream.
Finally, Monday arrived. When Monica was called upon to give her speech, she stood up and walked to the
front of the class without any notes, in a show of confidence. Monica’s successful performance brought everyone a
great surprise. The whole class clapped (鼓掌) for a full minute when she completed her speech. Miss White
smiled. She had known that Monica would make it when she bravely took her first step to overcome(克服) her fear
of speaking in public.
From that day, Monica’s life changed for the better. At the age of 23, she became a news reader. People who
see her on television now will find it hard to believe that she was once a shy girl who refused to speak up in class.24. Monica felt ________ when Miss White first asked her to make a speech next week?
A. quiet B. frightened C. confident D. glad
25. After Monica came to Ms White’s office, she advised Monica to ________.

C. change her pronunciation and body language
D. smile and clap for her classmates in the class
26. Monica’s life changed for the better because ________.

C. she overcame her fear of speaking in public
D. she became a news reader and was on television

The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have
found positive effects. A study in Youngstown, Ohio, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less
crime(犯罪). In another, workers were shown to be 15% more effective when their workplaces were beautified with
houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have taken it a step further changing the
actual composition(成分) of plants in order to get them to perform differently, even unusual useful things that they
do. These include plants that have sensors(传感器) printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water
and a plant that can discover harmful chemicals in groundwater.
“We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace some of the things that we use every day,
“explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables.
Strano’s team found that they could create a weak light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth
of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the
rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.In the future, the team hopes to develop the technology and invent something that can be sprayed onto plant
leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and
off “switch” where the glow would disappear gradually when daylight appeared.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used up in the US. Since lighting is often far removed
from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a highway far away—a lot of
energy is lost during sending.
Glowing plants could shorten this distance and as a result, help save energy.
27. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A new study of different plants. B. A greener city of less crime.
C. Workers from different workplaces. D. Advantages from green plants.
28. Why are the sensors printed on plant by MIT engineer?
A. To show us the plants need water. B. To keep the compositions of plants.
C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in the plants.
.
29 What can you learn about the glowing plants according to the passage?
.
A They may speed up energy production. B. They will send electricity to the home.
C. They will help to cut down energy use. D. They may take the place of power plants.
D
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting,
and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To answer these questions correctly, let’s take a look at
three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most tiring of all. Take filling
up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes
fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain gets away from the body and wanders about until the
water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and
mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires some rules. Properly preparing
packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are clear in details. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add
mix, simmer (炖) three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has
actually followed the processes strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is
for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not
necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires belief and hope, and is quite useful for the optimists (乐观主
义) among us. On the surface it seems as silly as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait
well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to depend on it, wishing for a few good
things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re
standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash
falls out of the sky, don’t be hopeless. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.
30. According to the passage, we have to spend a lot of time to wait because ________.
A. we all live in an impatient society B. the three “waits” are common in our lives
C. we often stand at the sink to wait cooking D. the “waits” helps us get out of the trouble
31. What’s the underlined phrase “wanders about” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. hangs around B. watches out C. cares about D. comes across
32. The writer probably agrees ________.
A. the Forced Wait requires some self-control B. the Forced Wait makes people powerful
C. the Watched-Pot Wait needs directions D. the Watched-Pot Wait attracts body and brain
33. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait. B. It doesn’t always bring the expecting result.
C. It is more mindless than the Forced Wait. D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.

Believe it or not, soaps change lives in Cambodia. A group named Eco-Soap Bank collects used soap from
hotels and turns it into new bars(块) to give out for free.
Samir Lakhani, an American student, started this project eight years ago. In 2014, he visited Cambodia for the
first time, which is in Southeast Asia. There he watched a mother bathe her baby using detergent(洗涤剂).
He learned that many people in Cambodia are very poor and don’t have soap. He wanted to help solve the
problem.Samir’s idea was to recycle old soap. Each year, millions of tourists visit Cambodia. Many hotels use large
amounts of soap. A hotel can produce about 68 kilograms of soap waste every month. So Samir went from hotel to
hotel, asking them for used soap.
His project grew. It later became the Eco-Soap Bank. The group takes used soap to recycling places. There, the
soap is cleaned, then cut up, mixed together and put through a press. Soap waste becomes new bars or liquid(液
体)soap. Then they are given out to local schools and some charities(慈善事业). Eco-Soap Bank gives soap to
Cambodians. Some bars are also given to local women to sell. They make money for their families. The project has
helped half a million Cambodians get cleaner. But Lakhani has a bigger plan. He wants to start Eco-Soap Bank in
every tourist area around the world. Because he wants to help people take their health into their own hands—one
bar of soap at a time.
.
Nowadays Eco-Soap Bank operates in 12 countries and has recycled 700 tons of soap into over 9 million bars
The women who participate in Eco-Soap Bank programs receive free education and job training support to enable
them to succeed. Samir received a CNN Heroes Award for Eco-Soap Bank in 2017 and a Unilever Young
Entrepreneurs Award in 2018. He also recently gave a TEDx Talk. He said he hoped everyone in the world could be
healthy from the little bars.
