Maybe you evern cycle to work from time to time. You are playing your part; you understands well; you are green and environment-friendly. Well, I’ve got news for you:

● Every UK house produces over one ton of rubbish every year.
● At Christmas over 83 square kilometres of wrapping paper is thrown in the bin.
Do you need to do more? No? OK, here are two more facts.

People could only see for about 50 metres in parts of Borneo yesterday and Singapore recorded its highest pollution for nearly 10 years as forest fires in Indonesia sent smoke across the sea to the rest of South-east Asia. Face masks have been given to hundreds of thousands of people in Malaysia, and in many places children stayed in their houses behind closed doors rather than walk through the smoke to go to school. Traffic stopped because people could not see out of their car window, boats stayed in the harbour and some airports refused to let aircraft land.
In Singapore, the air quality is measured every day. A measurement over 100 is considered unhealthy and at that level people who go outside will have problems breathing. Yesterday, the reading was 128 and hundreds of people went to hospitals to try to get medical help. 500 fires were counted on satellite images yesterday. If there are many more fires, they could cause serious health problems for people living in the area.
Many of the fires are caused by people setting fire to their fields when they have harvested their crops. Some are caused by people lighting fires to cook on. But most of the fires are caused by winds which blew the flames from one forest to another. The smoke from the fires is then blown across the sea to other countries and, if there is no wind or heavy rain to get rid of the smoke there, it stays in the air. If it is so bad that the sun cannot shine through, people cannot see very far and many people become ill.
The smoke clouds yesterday reminded many people of the haze that covered large areas of south-east Asia in 1997 causing many people to become ill and costing countries billions of dollars. I was living in Singapore at the time and I remember it well. I remember that I could not see the next apartment block for the haze, that I walked to the office and could hardly breathe and that I coughed and coughed for weeks afterwards. So did many of my friends and family and hundreds of thousands of people in Malaysia. Let us hope that the rains come and the winds blow the smoke away. Let us also hope that people do not light any more fires.
53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The author was living in Singapore in 1997.
B. The fires were caused by people setting fire to the grass in the forest.
C. Lots of Malaysians had to stay at home because of the heavy smoke outside.
D. Some airports were closed because of the smoke and the airplanes couldn’t land.
54. Why did the people go to hospitals in Singapore?
A. Because there was less smoke there.
B. Because they could get face masks there.
C. Because they tried to get medical help there.
D. Because a measurement over 100 is considered unhealthy.
55．What does the underlined word “images” mean?
A. public opinions B. ideas in mind C. picutures D. papers
56. What can be the title of the text?
A. WITHOUT FIRES, WITHOUT SMOKE.
B. SMOKE SETTLES OVER SOUTH-EAST ASIA
C. SMOKE CAUSES MANY PEOPLE TO COUGH.
D. BETTER STAYING HOME WHEN SMOKE COMES.
D
“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” My mother used to say so years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy (不干预政策), We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them computers, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Televison, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‘go look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say ‘no’ to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them “no” again.
57. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The writer’s mother is strict with him.
B. The writer developed himself naturally.
C. The writer didn’t have to stay home.
D. The writer’s mother used to let him learn Latin.
58. What does the underlined word “permissive” mean in the passage?
A. allowing behaviour B. providing help
C. accepting opinion D. having discussion
59.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s time to be more strict with kids.
B.Kids should have more activities at school.
C. Parents should leave their children along.
D. Kids should have a good example to learn from.
