Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives，in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.With environmental protection awareness in mind，we can do what we can，for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part，the world is one small step closer to being saved. 9.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe_ .Abig factories Bhigh mountains C huge buildings Dcharacters in fairy stories10.From the fifth paragraph，we can know that _.A protecting the environment begins with small thingsB protecting the environment should start from childhoodC wonderful life comes from environmental protectionD protecting the environment benefits the country and the people11.The passage is mainly about_ .A the use of garbage dustbins B how to save water and electricityC our current environmental problems D how to save the environment DThe largest earthquake ( magnitude里氏9. 5) of the 20th century happened on May 22, 1960 off the coast of South Central Chile. It generated(生成) one of the most destructive(毁坏性的) Pacific-wide tsunamis. Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe. The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloethe coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中). Huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland. There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chiles top industrial city. Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless. Total damage losses, including to agriculture and to industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of death related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached between 4,900 to 57,002 with no distinction as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami. 12. Where did the largest tsunami damage occur? AConcepcion. BValdivia. CIsla Chiloe.

When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 18 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly.
