Haiti is among poor countries being troubled by plastic waste，serious poverty and high unemployment．What if you could help create jobs for people in poverty and meanwhile solve an environmental problem there? Thread，a young company，is working in a creative way by hiring people there to collect that plastic waste，which，after being properly treated，is made into fabrics for use in sportswear，boots and many other goods．
Ian Rosenberger，the founder of Thread，used to travel much in Central America，and the Caribbean．Soon after the horrific 2010 earthquake in Haiti，Rosenberger volunteered to help with the disaster relief and was shocked by the piles of plastic trash throughout Haiti，most of which is in the form of plastic bottles Haitians threw away everywhere．It was then that he realized he had to figure out a way to remove the poverty he witnessed．
    After returning to the U．S．，Rosenberger soon found a solution to all that plastic trash in Haiti-turning the waste bottles into fabrics，which can create jobs, help the poor Haitians，and solve the terrible waste problem there-and turned his idea into reality.
   People collect plastic bottles from their neighborhood，bring them to a plastic- collection center and receive cash right then，helping them to buy food for their families and meet other expenses．
   Once collected，the plastic bottles are made into fabrics in Thread, which requires about 80 percent less energy and about 90 percent less water to produce than the fabrics made directly from oil．
  “We’re a social company．  Our products are environmentally responsible．” Rosenberger says，“Jobs will end poverty．The vaccine(疫苗)against poverty is a good and respectable job．We are hoping to end the problems we face and bring positive change to the people’s lifestyle there．”

The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.
    The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival."For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all," said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family. The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.
    "We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season," Liang said. "Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip. More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.
    The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.
The 1,776-km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region, came into service on Dec 26. The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert.
    The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.
8. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before? 
A. about 12 hours.         B. About 6 hours. 
C. About 18 hours.        D. About 24 hours.
9. What can we learn from Liang’s words?
A. For safety, people will drive home during the peak season.
B. The new railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.
C. It will be convenient for him to return to his home.
D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.
10. What’s the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?
A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.
B. It will be easier for people all over the country to Xinjiang.
C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.
D. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development.
11. From the passage we can learn _______.
A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C. the high-speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone-dry sands
D. the old railway lines can only carry goods at the present time

Where should an adventurous tourist go After you’ve done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart’s content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go What attractive tourist destination awaits you
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you’re about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect（消毒）their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.
12．According to the second paragraph, we can learn that .
A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel
B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica
C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities
D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins
13．Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that
A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica
B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully
C．the animals- habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism
D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica
14．Which of the following statements is true according to Rix?
A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica．
B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica．
C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Antarctica．
D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica．
15．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?
B．How can tourists go to Antarctica'?
C．Should tourists go to Antarctica'?
D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica'?
