（2022·北京通州·八年级期末）The Billion (十亿) Tree Campaign (运动) started on 8 November 2006 by The United Nations Environment Programme to help care for the Earth by planting trees all over the world. It encourages people to plant trees all year long. It is the biggest tree planting activity in the history of the world. Over a billion trees have been planted in just the first five months of 2007!

Trees are important. Without trees we humans would not live on the earth. Trees give us so much! The air we breathe is improved (改善) by the trees. Some great medicine is from tree bark, leaves, twigs, and roots; we use wood to build houses; we make food from the apple, pear, banana and orange trees and so on.

①Trees Give Us Oxygen (氧气)

We could not live as we do if there were no trees. A big tree gives us as much oxygen in a season as 10 people need in a year. The forest can also be a huge filter (过滤器) that cleans the air we breathe.

②Trees slow Water Rum of and Reduce (减少) Noise

Flood (洪水) can be reduced by a forest Or by planting tee. A full-grown tree can hold back more than 1,000 gallons of water. So the groundwater can be stored (存储). Trees can also stop noise as stone walls. When you live near the freeway or the airport, the trees around your house can reduce most of noises from freeways and airports.

③Trees Clean the Soil (土壤), Water and the Air

Trees can either store (储存) harmful (有害的) things or change the pollutant (污染物) into less harmful forms. They can keep harmful things from running into the river. Trees can clean the air by taking in harmful things and they can lower the temperature around.

There are even more benefits (好处) of planting trees. So “When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace (和平的种子) and seeds of hope.” We need YOU to join us!

（2022·北京丰台·八年级期末）Traveling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a look and then you can have a great trip there.

 Mexico

In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).  

The US

Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen…nearly anyone with a service job.

Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.

 Britain

British people are known for queuing (排队). From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in Britain, you may make them angry.

Japan

You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when you try clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.

（2022·北京顺义·八年级期末）

There are many kinds of amazing animals in the world. Have you ever watched one of them Canada geese(雁)? They can teach us a lesson about teamwork.

In autumn, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. When they leave the ground and rise into the air, they fly in no order. Then they quickly form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.

The V shape allows Canada geese to save energy(精力). The head bird moves is wings(翅膀) up and down. The resulting force of the air helps lift the next bird. Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part. The bind at the head of the group has the hardest job. When it gets tired, another bird moves to the front and takes its place(代替它). By sharing this job, the group can travel great distances.

Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone.

During the long flying journey, Canada geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination(目的地).
