During the Crimean War in l854, Florence went to the front hospital. She used her own money to buy beds, clothes and food for the wounded (受伤的) soldier. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips (嘴唇 ) of dying soldiers. After she returned to England. she was praised (赞扬 ) for her work by Queen Victoria. But she said that her work had just begun.

In the sixteen century, German families began to bring green trees into their homes during the Christmas seasons. By the seventeenth century, they cut the tops of evergreens and hung upside down in a living-room corner. And then they decorated them with fruits, candies, cookies and candles.The first Christmas trees in America were set up by German immigrants(移民) in the 1820s. Now at Christmas time decorated trees stand in about two-thirds of American homes. The modern American tree is usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored lights.( ) 41.

We may call a Christmas tree “evergreens” now.C. Christmas trees have power.D. Germans people brought the custom of using Christmas trees to America.(D)We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that meanUse It Up You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last title piece of soap. Dont throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.Wear It Out You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You dont have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesnt work any more. They you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still work. When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.Do Without Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our worlds resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we dont want any more. takes up even more resources and space.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。46. Do we need to be responsible for our environment?47.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing.Pehaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports,such as baseball,basketball,and football.There are individual sports,also,such as golf and swimming.In addition,hiking,fishing,skiing,and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.Not everyone who enjoys sports events likes to be an onlooker(旁观者),either watching them on television,or listening to them on the radio.When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets because everyone wants to attend.Chess,card-playing,and dancing are forms(形式) of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesnt matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong,or go walking through the woods.It is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some forms of recreation.阅读短文，根据其内容补全下面的改写文段，每空一词。All of us need recreation.It helps us keep(51)_ and live a better life.The most popular way of (52)_ is to take part in sports.There are (53)_ sports like football and individual sports such as swimming.And some people like to be outdoors,others love (54)_ recreations.Many people dont feel good to be an onlooker.They love to (55)_.Thats why its hard to get tickets to important games.四、根据短文所给的首字母填空（10分）What should we do to keep h_56_?
