Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona. Tristins 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasnt breathing.

A program called Kids Caf is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs. At a community center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their after-school program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Caf program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. Kids Caf, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food. “Its good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. Shes glad her kids are getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we dont have much junk food,” she says, “so its very important that its healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity, Feeding America, started the national Kids Caf program in 1993. The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat. Kids Caf became part of the after-school program at this community center five years ago.

Unluckily, there are still many people who think it is hard to go green. In fact, it is very easy to be green in our daily life. You can make a great start by learning to recycle. While this looks really simple, there are many people who still throw glass bottles into their common garbage. Almost all cities offer a recycling bin (垃圾箱) for these items. If you put them in the recycling bin instead of throwing them away, you will be on the path to save the earth. One good thing to recycle is newspaper. But there are still some people who just put their newspaper in the garbage when they finish reading it. As we know, there are many other things we can do with an old newspaper. For example, we can use it to clean our windows. Another thing that could help you to start to live green is to begin walking a bit more. Many people think nothing of getting in their car and driving one mile to get drinks at the local store. If you walk to the store, not only can it take less time, because you wont have to try to find a parking place, but you will be saving money on gas and helping to protect the environment. If you wish to save even more on gas, take the opportunity to car pool (拼车) each time you can, which has become popular in many countries.There really are many means by which people can start living green. You only have to make some changes in their lifestyle to improve our environment. 13. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To tell readers that many people are living green.B. To advise people to learn to live green.C. To express worries about global warming. D. To show the importance of living green.14. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Many people cant recycle glass bottles properly.B. Newspaper is being recycled by some people.C. Car pooling is not allowed in some countries.D. Driving can cause trouble sometimes.15. What is the best title for the text? A. Why do we need to live a green life?B. Going green is much simpler than we thinkC. Global warming is becoming worseD. What is causing global warming?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today is a perfect day that can leave you with good memories you may someday share with your friends.
