Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel
for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and
our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He
came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was
extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange
city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again
from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to
pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said
they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on
the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and
documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of
unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found
mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-
written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to
a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also
restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send
a warm wish their way.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener” toward
the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let
alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day
USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social
movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially
millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The
understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former
governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first According to US government
reports, emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a
year to 5.5 tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been
reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt
with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become
part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling
programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building
designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for
environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that

does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change!”
say Bruce Anderson.

One of the latest trend（趋势）in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au
Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au
pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.
“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph
Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at
least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six
months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already
understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American
husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want
her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I
第4 页（共10 页）
wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture.” she says.
“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a
classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children. “But
parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce
wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”
The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing
numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to
learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise
in the next few years.
29. What does that term “au pair” in the text mean?

A. to live in China some day
B. to speak the language at home
C. to catch up wit other children
D. to learn about the Chinese culture
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B. Educated woman do better in looking after children.
C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.
D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more
often: ability, money and time, 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.
So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time
you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
①Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m
already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week.
When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37
②Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the
most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38
it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself
the effort for a future meal.
③ 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making
cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new
ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you
learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and
your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and don’t let a busy schedule
discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
第7 页（共10 页）
A. Try new things
B. Ability is easily improved
C. Make three or four instead
D. Understand your food better
E. Cooking is a burden for many people
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on

My dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. They are three lessons
in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn’t need to do so many homework.
Therefore, we have more time with after-school activities. For example, we can do
reading for one and a half hour and play sports for one hour every day.
My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and

teachers but also our friends.
