The kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it's time to go home in the afternoon. Instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other,“Are the lights all off?”“Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping?”“How many paper towels did we use today?”
But it's not unusual here. The kids have declared a war on waste.
“We've never made the children do anything.”explained Liz Templar, the school's head teacher.“They came up with all the ideas themselves. They're doing this because they want to.”
If you take a look around the school you won't see anything thrown away unnecessarily. Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.
Shute School started its green revolution two years ago. They looked carefully at every part of school life--from the teaching to the cleaning. They looked at the stationery(文具) that was used--especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used--and wasted!
Even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? Did they use unleaded petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?
High on the list was the waste of paper. Next came unfriendly cleaning products. Paper towels were replaced with recycled paper, but the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks(小吃) eaten at lunch time. Of their own accord(自愿地), the children gave them up. Now they bring apples and home-made snacks.
The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. They also use this area for their recycling store--large containers to collect aluminium, bottles, paper and fabric(織物).
Even the school's play area is made from recycled things.
Since the children started, the school's heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.
Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying.
1.Which of the following is the major information we get from the passage?
[ ]
A.The pupils at Shute School are fighting against air pollution.
B.The pupils at Shute School are learning to save things.
C.The pupils at Shute School have declared a war on waste.
D.The pupils at Shute School have found a way to recycle waste things.
2.Children at Shute Country Primary School bring apples and home-made snacks to school in order to _____.
A.create less rubbish
B.save money
C.obey the school's rules
D.keep their promise
3.We can infer from the text that“green revolution” means _____.
[ ]
A.beautifying schoolyard
B.a(chǎn)ctivity against waste
C.planting green plants
D.throwing away waste
4.What do the children think creates the most waste?
[ ]
A.Paper towels.
B.Cleaning products.
C.Snacks.
D.Paper.
5.We learn from the text that the children's behavior _____.
[ ]
A.has brought arguments
B.has saved the school's cost
C.worried their parents
D.was forced by their head teacher

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (長壽) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡婦)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”

A .social life provides an effective cure for illness
B. being sociable helps improve one’s quality of life
C. women benefit more than men from marriage
D. marriage contributes a great deal to longevity
2.Linda Waite’s studies support the idea that _________.
A. older men should quit smoking to stay healthy
B. marriage can help make up for ill health
C. the married are happier than the unmarried

A. the disadvantages of being married
B. the emotional problems arising from marriage
C. the responsibility of taking care of one’s family
D. the consequence of a broken marriage
4. What does the author say about social networks?
A. They have effects similar to those of a marriage.
B. They help develop people’s community spirit.
C. They provide timely support for those in need.
D. They help relieve people of their life’s burdens.
5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

B. To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.
C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.
D. We should share our social networks with each other.
