I ran the risk(风险)of losing those Z-X-X-Kstudents who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare(宣布),“But Im just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when youre asleep?” “Oh,sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The students would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“Thats pretty creative.Who does that for you?” “Nobody.I do it.” “Really-at night,when youre asleep?” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?” 25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .

D.teach the students about toy design. 26.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3? A.He liked to help his teacher. B.He preferred to study alone. C.He was imaginative.

A.Mistake B.Difficulty C.Drawback (劣势) D.Burden（负担） 28.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? A.To help them to see their creativity B.To find out about their sleeping habits C.To help them to improve their memory D.To find out about their ways of thinking C The problem of global warming has caused a lot of people to get started on increasing their campaigns to save the Earths ecological system.The trouble is that nearly all people think it even expensive to begin living green.Continue reading to see several immediate (马上的)things you can do to get on the road to living green.You can get off to a great start by learning to recycle(回收利用).While this appears really simple,there are many people who still throw glass bottles and aluminum（铝）cans into their mon garbage（垃圾）.In the US,its easy to locate a trash service that has glass and aluminum recycling alternatives.If you take a few seconds to wash the cans and bottles and put them in the recycling bin,you will be on the path to saving the earth.One more big waste product is newspapers.The majority of people will merely take their newpaper and throw it into the garbage when they finish reading it.Still there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper when you finish reading it.For instance,newspapers make traffic material for cleaning windowpanes.You can clean your windows with newspapers rather than paper towels and window cleaner for a streak-free shine.What else you can do to get started living green is to start walking a bit more.Many people think nothing of getting in their cars and driving one block to get soda at the local convenience store.If you merely walk to the store,not only could it take less time,because you wont have to try to find a parking place,but you will be saving money on petrol and helping to save the planet by not burning those fuels（燃料）.If you wish to save even more on fuel,take the chance to join the car pool whenever you can and just mow（割） your lawn（草坪） twice a month instead of weekly.29.What is the main purpose(目的) of Paragraph 1?A.To tell us that many people are living green.

B.Living green is much simplier than people thinkC.A lot of things can be reused in our daily life.D.People are living a much better life than before. DItll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends,Susie.I still cannot decide what to give her.Shes a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to.I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.Its more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school.I joined the theatre group and she was intimidating but in the end,I realized that she needed to keep a strict(严格的) image(印象) in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.And then during practice,I got a chance to know her better.In fact,she was a friendly and warm-hearted person .Soon we became good friends.I dont know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything.So its really hard to buy her a gift she will appreciate.This year I want something different and special but I dont know what to give.One dai I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise,there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.I scanned some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts.I chose a special personalized bracelet(手镯).Im sure that this will look perfect on her.I put our names as part of the design of the bracelet so that itll remind us that well forever be friends.I cant wait to give her my gift but I wont tell her yet.I dont want to destroy the surprise.33.Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend?A.She can always offer help when the author is in need.
