I can’t remember when I started collecting litter(垃圾). But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.

I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes! I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.

I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.

Since that first trip three years ago, I’ve gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.

After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable(可回收的), I keep it. I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.

I know I can only do a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

 (One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)   

The Caterpillar(毛毛蟲(chóng)) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.   

“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.

This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”

“I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”

“I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.

“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”

“It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹,繭)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”

“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”

“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully(鄙視地). “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”

“Why?” said the Caterpillar.

Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.

“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”

This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.

1.Where may their talk take place?

A. In a wonderland. B. In the field.           C. In the tree.   D. Outside the hole.

2.Why did Alice think she was not herself?

A. Because she was too young to understand the changes.

B. Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.

C. Because she didn’t like her changes

D. Because she didn’t feel very well.

3.Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?

A. “Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.

B. “Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.

C. “Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.

D. “Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.
