Now the man has owned several donkeys already and he knew them very well. One of the donkeys was very strong and brave, another was moody(喜怒无常的). One donkey was very lazy, h
26、e hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded(装载) up, he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load. The man took the new donkey into the yard. For a moment he stood there, looking at his new frien
27、ds. Then, without thinking, he walked up to the lazy donkey and began eating comfortably at his side. Though it was late in the day, the man immediately took the new donkey out of the yard, straight back to the market. “You cannot do like this,” said the merchant (商人), “It is only ten minutes since

31、al meaning of these lines: Dont waste food. A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is much enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hun
32、gry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of
33、people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her and criticized(批评) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less fo
34、od? Here are some tips: 1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home. 2. Dont be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. 3. Keep an eye on what food you
35、have at home. Dont buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.58. How many people were hungry in the world in 2013 according to the UN World Food Program?A. 200 million. B. Six million.

38、me restaurant leftovers.C. Not knowing what you already have at home when shopping.D. Not eating the food you dont like even if its healthy.D For many years, scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that
39、cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27 in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city! China also has the same kind of problems. Every y
40、ear more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter. It isnt easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should pla
41、nt more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny co
42、untry should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings. People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.62. The scientists have found .A. cities become very hot in summerB. Atlanta is the hottest city in AmericaC. there are not as many storms as beforeD. it is
