My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa, Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading to the square. See, my dear, Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She tried one spoonful and sputtered. “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldnt stop working until I tried every possible way.

The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men bands instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar. After some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmers markets. Typically， the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s， including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jacks little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the bands CDs and other musical products.The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “Its a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. Theyve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because its really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isnt.（1）Who is not a member of the Garbage-Men band?A . Trent BerryB . Ollie GrayC . Evan TuckerD .

However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “Englands Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control. ? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.（1）Visitors to the National Parks in England can .A . give food to wild animalsB . drive cars on the grasslandsC . enjoy fresh air and peaceful timeD . have fun farming with local people（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us .A . the problems of the National ParksB . the pollution caused by visitorsC . the development of the National ParksD . the benefits brought by visitors（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A .
