Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction
(破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water,  16  wild
animals.., these problems seem so huge.
So my family do  17  we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of  18  plastic bags. If we can walk to a place , we never
drive there.
But does it do any good? When I am the  19    one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real  20  to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟)  21  like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first    22
from the lake,  23  none of the others seem to notice, so the small group  24  . However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still  25  , so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in, but since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan once more  26  .
Then one day  27  changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more.  28  , they all take off and the migration really begins. What a spectacular(壮观的) sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!
Dear friends, please remember that a few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first  29  , and continue trying,  30  will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

When you think of the future, what do you imagine? Do you imagine travelling around the world? Going to the moon? No doubt you have a dream. Dreams can be helpful. They can give you a destination(目的地) and a reason to go there. Your dreams can keep you working hard even when you want to give up.
However, some say that dreams are not always possible to achieve and people should set goals that are realistic(现实的). I think there is much room for both dreams and
goals. And I think that Gu Shaoqiang from Henan would agree with me.
Gu started working as a teacher at a school in July, 2004. On the morning of April 13, 2015, she suddenly left her job. She explained her decision in a letter with ten simple words: “The world is so big. I want to see it .” Her letter was put on the Internet and soon became popular. Why did people show so much interest in this young woman’s move?
Often people spend most of their lives working hard to achieve the goals that society sets for them—g
et an education, get a good job, buy a house, start a family and so on. Their dreams are often put aside(旁边). But perhaps those dreams never really die, and a little part of everyone still wishes to make them come true.
Gu knows that if she stayed in her job, she may never get the chance to see the world. Perhaps she realized that some dreams should not be ignored(忽视) if one wants to live a happy life. You just have to jump over and make it happen. That can be scary, but as the great dreamer, Walt Disney said, :All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them”
(  ) 36. What does the Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. What dreams are.
B. Why dreams appear.
C. When you need dreams
D. How dreams influence people.
(  ) 37. What can we know about Gu Shaoqiang?
A. She is the writer’s friend.
B. She had a busy job at school.
C. She thought teaching was boring.
D. She worked as a teacher for about eleven years.
(  ) 38. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Gu wants to achieve her dream.
B. Gu wants to go to college.
C. Gu wants to get a better job.
D. Gu wants to have a rest. (  ) 39. What does the underlined word “pursue” in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 实现
B. 追求
C. 面对
D. 接受
(  ) 40. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Setting realistic goals is important.
B. Getting a good education is necessary.
C. We should have the courage to go for our dreams.
D. The more we change jobs, the more we’ll see the world.
C
Now with our busy life, it’s hard to relax and really enjoy a film. But if I’m asked which film can move the audience(观众) and make them think, the answer must be Slumdog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》).
In the film Slumdog Millionaire, eighteen-year-old Jamal Malik surprises the audience with his victory in
the Indian game show. When there is only one question away from the top prize of 20 million rupees(比卢), Jamal is arrested by the police, because they believe he cheats in the game show. After all, how can Slumdog know so many things?

But the two brothers escape and make a living by stealing and acting as tour guides. However, Jamal tries to take part in the game show on TV because he knows Latika is a fan of the game show.
