Whether that is good or bad, we cant really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, xx, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we pletely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.5.

Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threatens pedestrian safety.” British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.Floor Lieshout, director of Youth For Road Safety, said, “ This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic. It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic.”Andrew Howard , who is the head of road safety at the Automobile Association, added that some pedestrians can be “so immersed in their own little world that they forget the world going on around them”. That can include headphone wearers, Howard said, but also people talking on phones.However, Howard said that more researches needed to be done.Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them .Ian Harvey, at the charity Civic Voice, said that “ to defeat isolation and to help build a civic(文明的) society, people need to interactwith each other .He said, “ A basis for any civilized society is municationSurfing the web, listening to MP3s, reading blogs or sending e-mail is not interacting with a person; its interacting with a machine.“If people feel socially isolated, they need to have more face-to-face interactions with other human beings and in time, will begin to feel happier and more connected to the world and place they live in.”9. We can learn from the Us-bases study that _ .A. most accidents were caused by carsB. most victims died in the accidentsC. most accidents happened in the countrysideD. most victims were women10. What does the underlined word immersed in paragraph7 mean ? A. cautious B. relevant C. aware D. absorbed 11. Howard will probably agree that _ .A. it is safe if you wear headphones in a proper wayB. it is dangerous to talk on phones while walkingC. most people wear headphones because of lonelinessD. people wearing headphones are more likely to go blind12. What Ian Harvey said shows the importance of _ .A. beating isolation B. new technologiesC. building a civilized society D. munication between peopleDConventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in MolecularPsychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences （序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the childrens telomeresin cells obtained by swabbing(擦拭) the insides of their cheeksat ages 5 and 10.Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says. The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.13. The new study found that _.A. hardship can change a childs aging B. violence leaves scars on a childs mindC. violence can speed up a childs aging D. hardship has a long term effect on a childs mind14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Violence can cause quick cell division in childrens body.B. Researchers measured the childrens telomeres from their legs in the study.C. Being treated badly will make a childs telomeres shorten faster.D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Violence Aging Childrens DNA B. Childrens Changing DNA PatternsC. Violence and Telomeres D.

Opinions are divided on this topic. Now the results are as follows. 60% of the students in our class think it unnecessary to take any tonics. There are some reasons. To begin with , they argue that Senior Three students can stay healthy by taking regular exercise .In other words, there is no need for them to take any tonics. Besides, taking too much tonics will undoubtedly cause them to put on weight, which is harmful to their health. Whats more, the expensive tonics will be a heavy burden for their parents.However, 40%of the students hold the different idea that its necessary for Senior Three students to take tonics. For one thing , they have a lot of homework to do every day and so many students get tired easily and tonics can help them to refresh themselves. For another thing , they cant spare time to do sports as a result of the tight schedule .Personally, its unnecessary for Senior Three students to take tonics. Instead, keeping a balanced diet is more important and the best way to stay healthy is to take exercise regularly. Only by doing so, can students stay healthy.
