My windows were down, and I asked him if he wanted a lift. He indicated that he was going to the next town, just out of my way, but not far enough to put me to trouble. So in he got.“Sorry, Im really quite drunk. Ive been at a funeral. My family are all really out of it, so I decided to walk home. Im Ryan,” and he offered me his hand. I drove and we talked. He told me hed buried his uncle, and that he was a traveler.He called me brother and offered me his cool shades as payment. I declined and said the joy was in the giving.

Something good will e to you for picking me up.” We told each other where we came from, the places weve lived, and how we both ended up here.

This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Daya global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a pany producing daily chemical products.Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world in xx.This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home childrens lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children dont know how to play without using technology.Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in childrens creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.Scientific studies show that real playthe active, physical, self-directed playis essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.28. What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day?A. Have a day off and go playing anywhere.B. Have P.

What s the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To inform.B. To persuade.C. To entertain.D. To advertise.DThe softshell turtle species is officially listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List. Scientists long thought softshell turtles were extinct in the Cambodian part of the Mekong River until they discovered some stragglers (掉队者) in the early xxs.The species had quite a wide historical range across Asia, but much of that range is now pletely gone. Much of the turtles habitat in Southeast Asia have disappeared due to urban and industrial development along the Mekong River. The sand where turtles multiply is routinely carried away for use in construction projects, while fishing nets lift up hatchlings. People also take turtles and their eggs to sell for food.Initial surveys in xx and in xx found two small populations of the softshell turtles along a 30-mile stretch (水域) of the Mekong River. Since then, conservation groups have worked with local munities and officials to increase the wild population of these endangered turtles, including a program to hire former egg collectors to help search for and protect nests instead of harvesting the eggs.For the last decade, WCS, Conservation International, the Turtle Survival Alliance and local groups have worked to protect turtle nests. Their goal is to ensure eggs will multiply and hatch, and that baby turtles grow strong enough to eventually take care of themselves in the wild.A team recently released 150 hatchlings back into their natural habitat, bringing the total to more than 7,700 baby turtles in the past 10 years.32. What can we learn about softshell turtles from Paragraph 2?A. Few of them lived in Asia before xx.B. They were officially recognized as endangered.C. Human activities greatly damaged their habitats.D. They could hardly find food in the Mekong River.33. Why were former egg collectors hired?A. To lead a program.B. To harvest turtle eggs.C. To protect turtle habitats.D. To take care of baby turtles.34. What achievement has been made in softshell turtle protection?A. A great many nests have been built.B. A lot more eggs have hatched safely.C. Some organizations have been formed.D. Their population has increased to 7,700.35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Endangered species should be kept in the wild.B. Local groups help to protect endangered species.C. Softshell turtles are increasing at an alarming speed.D. Conservation groups bring hopes to softshell turtles.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When youre feeling anxious or stressed, the strategies (策略) listed below can help you deal with it.

Though she is strict in us, we all like her. Not only does she teach us a lot of knowledges about English, but she has very good sense of humor.
