Last month, my class noticed a big problem: water was being wasted everywhere in our school. In the bathroom,
taps ____1____ running after students washed their hands. In the garden, the sprinklers (洒水装置) sometimes

First, our teacher helped us make a plan. It included three steps: ____3____ where water was wasted, telling

We talked to the headmaster, and he agreed to help. The school fixed the broken tap, and we put ____5____

first, some students thought our activity was boring, but soon they joined in. They started turning off taps tightly and
reusing water to water plants.
____6____, the change spread. Now our school ____7____ 30% less water than before. Last week, the

Digital technology is changing our lives in many good ways. It makes daily tasks easier and helps us connect
with the world better.
First, it helps with learning. Before, students could only learn from books and teachers at school. Now, with
apps like online classes and educational videos, we can study at home or anywhere. If we don’t understand a math
problem, we can watch a video to learn it again. This makes learning more flexible.
Second, it improves communication. Long ago, people sent letters which took weeks to arrive. Now, we use
Wechat, WhatsApp or video calls. We can talk to grandparents who live far away and even see their faces. It feels
like they are right beside us.
Third, it makes our life more convenient. We don’t need to carry much cash. We can pay for food or books with
our phones. When we want to go somewhere, apps like maps help us find the best way. They even tell us when the
bus will come.
Lastly, it helps with health. Some apps can track our steps or sleep. Doctors can also use technology to check
patients’ health better. For example they can look at test results online quickly.
Digital technology is really a great helper. It makes our lives happier and easier. We should learn to use it well
to make our future better.
26. Where did students mainly learn before digital technology?
A. Online classes.
B. Books and school teachers.
C Educational videos.
D. Learning apps.
27. How long did it take for letters to arrive long ago?
A A few minutes.
B. A few hours.
C. A few weeks.
D. A few days.
28. Which app is NOT mentioned for communication?
A. Map apps.
B. WhatsApp.

Water talk
Daisy was in the bathroom. She was brushing her teeth and the tap was on. Water was pouring into the washbasin
and vanishing (突然消失) down the drain (下水道).
“Turn the tap off,” a voice said loudly. Daisy froze. She looked around, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You’re

wasting water!” The voice sounded impatient.
This time Daisy obeyed. “Who… who are you?” Daisy’s voice was faint.
“I’m a drop of water. It’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?”
“From the tap, I suppose,” said Daisy.
“Yes, but before that?” Water said. “A few days ago, I was floating comfortably in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying
the view. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I sped down the mountain into the Yangtze River. The Yangtze
River carried me to a lake. I relaxed there for a few days, and then I travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu
River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.”
“Cleaned up?” Daisy sounded puzzled.
“Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water treatment works. They gave me a thorough cleaning
and added a few chemicals to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me,
and here I am.”
Daisy said, “So this is the end of your journey.”
“No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll go to a sewage plant (污水处理厂). Then they’ll pump me into the
river and I’ll be back in the sea again.”
“Again?”
“Yes. That’s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or pollute me. I’m precious, like
liquid gold. See you.”
“Wait a minute. What do you mean by liquid gold?” But there was no reply. The water was gone.
