In the UK, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon when someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late and restaurants do not generally open until 9 p. m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express anything in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

We need to be duty for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节约的消费者) is one way to help. But what does that really mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze(挤压) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. When your trainers have broken laces(鞋带), but they still fit you, repair them and wear them longer. Don’t buy the latest iphone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Think twice before you buy a new one.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you are ready to take its place. If you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich, and you are out of butter, have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought(思考), you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have:Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up the world’s resources. And getting rid of(消除) the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.
Being a frugal consumer for our environment

Recently the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been a public topic. Being carbon neutral means cutting d 66 carbon emissions (碳排放) to zero or balancing (均衡) them out by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere (大气层). Carbon emissions make the climate (气候) change for the w 67 and the temperatures rise. They are caused by all kinds of human activities. Burning fossil fuels (化工燃料) like coal, oil and gas to p 68 energy is a main source of carbon emissions.
China has promised to be carbon-neutral by 2060. To achieve this goal (目标), we will face many challenges (挑战). However, many hands make light work. We students can also make contributions (贡献) to helping r 69 this goal. Here’re some suggestions:
Travel in a green way
Since driving cars has caused serious air problems, we’d better do more walking or cycling instead of driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce air p 70 .
Save water
Lack (缺乏) of water resources will be h 71 to the ecological (生态的) environment. So please turn off the tap after using it.
Plant more trees
A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees b 72 trees can take in CO2 as they grow.
Reduce food waste
Schools can encourage students to save food by comparing (对比) how much food is not eaten by students after each meal. They can w 73 the leftovers (剩余饭菜) by putting them on the scale (秤). Also, they can put the leftovers into a machine that can t 74 the waste into useful things. For example, some waste can be put in the garden to help plants grow.
Let’s join together to see how small changes can make a big d 75 .

Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze(挤压) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. When your trainers have broken laces(鞋带), but they still fit you, repair them and wear them longer. Don’t buy the latest iphone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Think twice before you buy a new one.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you are ready to take its place. If you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich, and you are out of butter, have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought(思考), you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have:Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up the world’s resources. And getting rid of(消除) the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

Work together to make a better community
Dear members of Sunshine Community,
We are writing this letter to call on everyone to make our community a better place. Firstly, it’s important for everyone to take care of the environment. For example, it’s good manners not to drop litter everywhere. We should also remember not to pick flowers.
Secondly, everyone should do something to save natural resources, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the lights when leaving a room. Otherwise, our natural resources will soon run out.
Finally, all the members are encouraged to help each other. Chinese people believe that it’s luckier to have helpful neighbors than relatives living far away. We can live through difficult times more easily by helping our community members.
Let’s take action together right now.
Best regards,
Sunshine Community

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “ ▲ ”
People who travel to the United States very often forget to tip(给小费). It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In the UK, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon when someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late and restaurants do not generally open until 9 p. m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express anything in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.
( )29.The missing part in the first paragraph should be “ ▲ ”
A.Love me, love my dog. B.He who laughs last laughs best.

We need to be duty for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节约的消费者) is one way to help. But what does that really mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze(挤压) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. When your trainers have broken laces(鞋带), but they still fit you, repair them and wear them longer. Don’t buy the latest iphone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Think twice before you buy a new one.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you are ready to take its place. If you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich, and you are out of butter, have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought(思考), you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have:Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up the world’s resources. And getting rid of(消除) the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

Recently the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been a public topic. Being carbon neutral means cutting d 66 carbon emissions (碳排放) to zero or balancing (均衡) them out by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere (大气层). Carbon emissions make the climate (气候) change for the w 67 and the temperatures rise. They are caused by all kinds of human activities. Burning fossil fuels (化工燃料) like coal, oil and gas to p 68 energy is a main source of carbon emissions.
China has promised to be carbon-neutral by 2060. To achieve this goal (目标), we will face many challenges (挑战). However, many hands make light work. We students can also make contributions (贡献) to helping r 69 this goal. Here’re some suggestions:
Travel in a green way
Since driving cars has caused serious air problems, we’d better do more walking or cycling instead of driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce air p 70 .
Save water
Lack (缺乏) of water resources will be h 71 to the ecological (生态的) environment. So please turn off the tap after using it.
Plant more trees
A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees b 72 trees can take in CO2 as they grow.
Reduce food waste
Schools can encourage students to save food by comparing (对比) how much food is not eaten by students after each meal. They can w 73 the leftovers (剩余饭菜) by putting them on the scale (秤). Also, they can put the leftovers into a machine that can t 74 the waste into useful things. For example, some waste can be put in the garden to help plants grow.
Let’s join together to see how small changes can make a big d 75 .
