Do you know how to be green?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.ReduceReduce means “use less”. Dont waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessaryor maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Dont use a paper cup or a paper bag. Its better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, its better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.（ ）1. What is the passage about?A.

The passage may come from _. A. a menu B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. a magazineC Eyes can speakChoose the words or expressions and complete the passage: (6%) Much meaning can be carried clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of _1_? On a bus a stranger keeps looking at you. And if you _2_ that you are being looked at, you may feel uncomfortable. It is the same in our daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel _3_ with the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right? Looking too long at someone may seem to be _4_ . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he _5_ her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will look at the listener from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention _6_ what he or she is talking about.
