She has taken a leadership position in the Environmental Media Association (EMA), an organization that uses the influence of media personalities to advance conservation and sustainable living, and she regularly chats about how to live greener to magazines and late – night talk show hosts. Her knowledge and passion for the environment so impressed Al Gore that Diaz was selected as a presenter for his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
Greenest Gesture: Hosting “Trippin” on MTV, a show on how to be eco – friendly when you travel.

Greenest Gesture: Starting up Solar Neighbors, an organization that offers free solar power energy system to low – income families in L.A.
Brad Pit
Brad Pit is helping to rebuild Katrina – stricken New Orleans and donating $ 5 million of his own money to Make. It Right, an adopt – a – green – home campaign that he hopes will help restore the still storm – stricken Lower 9th Ward. For every $ 150,000 that comes in, a family will get a home. And not just any house – these will be so eco – friendly and disaster – proof, they’ll even float!
Greenest Gesture: The 150 houses built with green technology in the Lower 9th Ward.
Ed Begley, Jr.
The former star of St. Lesewhere has been “green” since 1970. That year he started driving an electric vehicle and making intensive recycling efforts. He has a house completely powered by solar and wind power, and the guy may be the only L.A. resident biking in to meetings, events, and awards shows.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. How ever, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
小題1:Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A．Yellow, green.B．Blue, violet.
C．Black, blue.D．Brown, white.
小題2:Which of the following statements is not true?
A．Sociable people like warm colors.
B．Warm colors can make people excited.
C．People who like to be with others don't like red.
D．Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
小題3:Which is the right color for different rooms?
A．Red or orange for offices.B．Orange for dining-rooms.
C．Blue for bedrooms.D．Red for studies.
小題4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.
B．Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C．Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D．People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.

The  success  of  a  speech  is  often due to the  skill  of the  speaker  who  is  confident，knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively．
But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches；it is a speechwriter.    And polities is one industry in which this practise is common．．So what does it take to be a     political speechwriter?

Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent，a natural creative ability， and that speechwriting is an art.

In an interview with the BBC，Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a
number of speechwriting techniques．He also explained how the．se techniques have been used     in historic speeches．
One such technique is introducing contrast(對(duì)比)．This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy：“Ask not what your country can do for you，but what you can do for your country.”   
Another technique is the use of three—part lists．Dr Atkinson explains that this can be     an excellent way of confirming a statement．Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a    fan of this technique．One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口號(hào))was“education，    education，education”.

認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。
注意：每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞。
How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation(通貨膨脹)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
Title
Collecting
(71) ______
To deal with inflation, people should not put money in banks. (72)______ they should invest. For by doing so, they might (73) ______ their wealth.
Ways
One way of (74) ____ is to buy stocks.
The author (76)_____ advice on collecting antique clocks.
One of the reasons why people should invest in cocks is that it is the most important way to (77)___ time, which (78) _______ people.

Do your kids like plastic toys? Well, I guess it’s time for them to play with wooden toys.
I have always liked kids’ wooden toys since I was five. I always ran along on the back of a hobby horse pretending to be a cowboy from the West when I was a little boy. Now I’m a dad and I still like buying these timeless natural wooden toys. They will never be out of style. My daughter has a child’s rocking horse, and my two sons have wooden trains and cars. The great thing about this type of toys is that they will last generations if they are treated kindly. Even if they break, most of the time they can be repaired using spare parts bought from wooden-toy makers, and if the part is not too complicated(復(fù)雜的), you yourself can make the part from a piece of wood.
What if they do break and can’t be repaired? Well, at least they can be dealt with without having any bad effects on the environment. They can be turned into wood chippings and used for pathways in the country or play areas for kids. Even if the wooden toy is buried as rubbish, which is very rare these days, it will not harm the soil or the environment.
I like all types of wooden toys. There is such a wide variety of wooden toys today and the choice is getting bigger day by day. As an alternative(替代品) to plastic toys, wooden toys can’t be beaten. I’m sure in the near future wood will no doubt become the number one material for making toys, as plastic becomes more and more expensive because of rising oil prices and the environmental issues concerning plastic. Plastic toys might harm kids’ health, too.
67. According to the author, wooden toys which can’t be repaired will _______.
A. be taken back by the makers            B. need a lot of money to deal with
C. not harm the environment              D. be collected by collectors
68. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.
A. plastic will be used up sooner or later
B. plastic toys will not be allowed to be sold very soon
C. wooden toys will become more popular in the future
D. wooden toys will become more and more expensive
69. Which of the following is NOT the reason why plastic toys will be less popular in the future?
A. That plastic has bad effects on the environment.
B. That plastic toys might harm the health of children.
C. That plastic toys offer children few choices.
D. That oil prices are getting higher than before.
70. We can infer that this passage is written to _______.
A. tell us the disadvantages of plastic toys   
B. advise parents to buy wooden toys instead of plastic ones
C. tell us how much the author and his children like wooden toys
D. advise toy makers to make wooden toys rather than plastic ones
