complete opposites. people who knew them both could hardly believe they were from the same planet, let alone the same family. the boys were not unkind toward one another, but their personalities（个性）were so different that it was difficult for them to reach a decision they both liked. their mother frequently played the judge in their disagreement. ishmael, the older brother, was athletic. he played baseball, football, and basketball .isadore, the younger brother, hated sports. he was quieter and less active than his brother. he preferred spending his time on the computer, making short videos and writing short articles. ishmael loved classic rock. he listened to bands like the beatles. isadore didnt care much for those bands. he preferred music from central africa. luckily for their parents, both boys enjoyed listening to music through headphones. one other thing the brothers did agree on was that they wanted a pet. mom had resisted getting one, but after both brothers had begged, she finally agreed. “we can get a pet, as long as you two take care of it,” she said. that means you do the feeding, you do the training, and if it needs to be walked, you do the walking. “no problem, mom,” ishmael and isadore said together. “good, we all agree,” mom said. “now, what kind of pet are we going to get?”21. the two brothers mother often had to be the judge when

asked where her donated(捐赠的) hair was going to go. it was then that the dad of two realized his young daughter had a heart that was too big for words. “i run a charity(慈善机构) called extra life where i play video games to help raise money for kids,” he said. “ariana happened to be sitting next to me when a video was playing, showing a little girl who was bald, lying in a hospital bed with tubes in her.” when their daughter got curious, smith and his wife crystal explained how medicine made the child in the video lose her hair. “without a second thought, ariana said oh, well she can have some of my hair,” smith said. “thats when my wife told me that there are many organizations that we could donate it to.” the smiths chose “locks of love” to send arianas generous gift to a child with medical hair loss. a week later, ariana was taken to the family hairdresser where 10 inches was cut from her hair. “it was her first haircut,” smith told abc news. “she could be so selfless like that. her first reaction(反应) is how about me giving up something that i have, so a little girl can feel pretty?” smith posted his daughters moving gesture on his personal webpage, where it has received almost 645,000 views in just two days. “shell take an adult-like approach(方式) and its really amazing,” smith said. “she is just a little kid, but if she sees somebody in need, she certainly cares for them.

choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. bottled water is all over the world. but some say the planets health, and peoples health may be suffering from it.the idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. the natural resources defense council of america said, “there is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” another new york city-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”it is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. nick reeves from the chartered institution of water and environmental management said, “the high mineral content(含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride(氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.storing is another problem. placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals(化学物质) into the water. according to the environmental protection agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. the plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.in terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. one report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.so, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the earth, you can take the following steps.drink from your tap. unless your government warns against this, it should be fine.get a container(容器). carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses.keep it cool. dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, dont store it near chemicals, and dont reuse plastic bottles.choose glass containers over plastic if possible. when finished, recycle!28.what is the main idea of the article?a. drinking tap water is the only choice for people. b. glass containers are better than plastic bottles.c. plastic bottles are harmful to the environment. d. bottled water may not be as good as we think.29.what can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?a. they break down in less than 300 years. b. they can be used for many other things. c. they are a risk to the environment. d. they are cheap to make.30.according to the article, we can know that bottled water is _.a. no problem for the environmentb. more expensive than tap waterc. always safer than tap water d. better for babies31.which of the following about tap water is not mentioned in the article?a. there are a lot of problems storing tap water. b. bottled water can be just tap water in a bottle.c. it may be better for your teeth. d. it may contain fluoride.dowls(猫头鹰) are mysterious creatures. we often think of them as scary. they sometimes live in abandoned houses. they fly without a sound through backyards at night. in stories, they appear with ghosts. when we hear an owls familiar “whooo.whooo.”，it can make us feel very frightened. owls fly silently, without even a whisper of wings moving through the air. its as though they appear out of nowherelike ghosts on wings. owls fly and hunt on the darkest of nights. an owls night habits make it unique. do these creatures of the night possess strange powers?owls possess unusual powers of sight and hearing, but they are not supernatural powers. they are natural adaptations that let them live most efficiently(高效地) at night. there is no reason to fear owls. their habits make them helpful to humans. by hunting mice and other rodents(啮齿目动物)，owls help to keep a natural balance between plant and animal life. without owls, there would be a large number of rodents in farmers fields and storage barns.more than 100 species of owls occupy a variety of habitats around the world. a few oceanic islands and the antarctic have no owls. the worlds owls come in large, medium, small, smaller, and smallest. for example, the eurasian eagle owlone of the largesthas a body that is two to three feet long, with a wingspan(翼展) of up to five and onehalf feet. the north american elf owl (the worlds smallest owl) is five to six inches long and has a wingspan that measures slightly more than one foot.most male and female owls of the same species look alike, although females are usually larger. in some species, the females colors are like those of the trees or grass where she makes her nest.baby owls, called chicks, stay with their parents until they are about three months old. they soon find their own hunting areas, where they may stay for the rest of their lives. some owls can live 20 years or more.32most people regard owls as_.acleverbhardworkingcterrifyingdshy33owls help humans in that they_.ahelp preserve the balance of nature bfrighten rodents
