Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。56. From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school. A. eat too much B. dont work hard C. waste things D. throw rubbish everywhere57. Which is not mentioned in this passage? A. Fresh water. B. Forest. C. Oil. D. Coal. 58. What may happen in 100 years? A. We may still have enough oil. B. We may still have enough coal. C. We may have a little oil. D. We may have no coal or oil to use. 59. Which of the following is right? A. Waste brings problems. B. Waste can bring no problem. C. China is rich in fresh water. D. Students never waste things. 60. Which is the best title of this passage? A. Stop Wasting B. School lifeC. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in China（B）“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”“I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室) than with my real-1ife friends.”Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use. People lose control(控制) of the time they spend on the InternetFor example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the puter lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight. Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users bee addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family. Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms(症状):You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.You cant wait for your next online time. You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours. You go out with your friends less and less.根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。61. What does the beginning of the passage tell us?A.

(C)Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers.
