13、No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are taking part in the activity. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th (World Environment Day). The slogan for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. "We can't control the weather, but we can choose not to drive," said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year.

14、 “Farm to table” is the name of an activity that encourages people to eat locally grown food. There is also a group that brings “table to farm”. This traveling group is called Outstanding in the Field. Its aim is to connect people to the land and to create a kind of restaurant without walls.
Jim Denevan got the idea for this kind of food service ten years ago. Jim Denevan’s brother is a farmer and he himself is a former chef. He thought the idea of a meal served right at the farm made sense, though not everyone agreed. “But I wanted to make the idea work, so I decided to cross the country—I went all the way across the United States and set the table in farms and ranches and on beaches, and all the places where food comes from.”
He recently prepared tables for more than a hundred people at Briars Farmstead in Virginia. He and his eight-member crew arrived the night before. Chefs from a local restaurant prepared the dinner.
Matt Szechenyi and his family operate Briars Farmstead. He said “This type of event connects us with a lot of enthusiastic people, people that will—we can form relationships with in the future. And this type of small farm business thrives on relationships.”
Guests bring their own plates to the meal. When they arrive, the farmer shows them around. “These are free-range chickens. We want them to eat as much pasture as possible because that’s the magic.” The tour of the farm ends at the dinner table. The meats in this five-course meal come from Matt Szechenyi’s farm. The vegetables and other ingredients come from nearby farms. Guests and local farmers sit together. Alex Bogel came with his family. He said “It is also especially wonderful to sit at a table this big with all these people. The sense of community is wonderful.”
Jim Denevan and his team have served almost thirteen thousand people. He plans to expand the operation.

B．He wants to do it better and better and give a hand to make people closer to nature.
C．He hopes to build totally free restaurants on the farm.
D．He wants to create more games on the farm for guests.
3．What does this passage mainly tell us?
A．The history of “table to farm”.
B．Special service on a farm.
C．Something about the “table to farm” activities
D．People’s great need of green food

15、Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun across the sky with his chariot (战车). But now, the way people think has changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives a “chariot” around the sky.
What do I mean by this? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts on its wings. These parts absorb (吸收) power from the sun. They absorb so much power that the plane can still fly even at night. In Greek mythology (神话), Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more powerful than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
Why is solar energy (太阳能) important? Well, other kinds of energy are known to cause problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal and gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals created by burning these things give us power. But if we use power from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything and there will not be any pollution.
Solar energy is not entirely ready yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. The Solar Impulse plane could pretty much keep flying forever. Of course, the sun’s light will eventually run out too one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
1．The plane Solar Impulse ______.
A．cannot fly at night B．is powered by chemicals
C．is driven by solar energy D．was made in the US
2．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that ______.
A．using solar energy causes less pollution
B．solar energy is the best kind of energy
C．creating energy by burning things causes pollution
D．burning things will not be allowed in China
3．Which is the story probably taken from?
A．A science magazine. B．A history textbook.
C．A Greek myth. D．A storybook.
4．What’s the story mainly about?
A．The story of the Greek god Helios.
B．How China makes use of energy.
C．The uses and advantages of solar energy.
D．The disadvantages of burning coal and gas.
