When Katherine first started to think about it, she was waiting to catch a flight home in a(n) 4 . “I was reading a news story about a woman named Greta 5 across the ocean to get to New York. I had never thought flying could be harmful to the environment. Greta made me consider it 6 for the first time. Then I searched for information on the Internet and was 7 to find out how much CO2 I made by flying,” Katherine said. She thought it was time for her to 8 flying.

That gives Katherine a new start in travelling. She has 9 in Michigan. Her family used to fly to visit their relatives there. Now, they drive and turn it into a family adventure(探险). They go to the beaches, watch dolphins and 10 the mountains nearby. Their trips are always full of surprises and they enjoy themselves.
Try a new way instead of taking a plane to travel next time. You may get unexpected joy!

In recent years, the accidents that birds hit buildings often happen. About a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year in North America.
In the daytime, the reflection(反射) of the building’s glass can make birds think that they can go through, so they unconsciously(无意识地) hit it. And the use of building light makes the birds get lost when they fly at night. Even worse, during the migration of birds from north to south, they need to fly at night, so light pollution is bad for them.

Scientists are doing some research to solve this problem. They advise people to put up some special signs on the glass walls. Dimming(调光) the lights is helpful, too. Besides, using fewer bright lights can also help birds a lot at night.
Birds are our good friends. Through our actions, the beautiful birds can continue to fly in the blue sky. And we will always hear their songs in the world. Let’s join hands to protect birds and make them fly higher and farther!

(四川泸州中考改编)Because of his excellent performance, Hao Yongquan, was chosen as Gansu’s most beautiful forest ranger(护林员).
Hao has been a forest ranger for many years since he stopped serving in the army in 1987. He and his workmates at Guanyin Forest Farm are called the “forests’ eyes” and “green guardians(守卫者)”.
Rangers have been living in the mountains and forests for years, getting used to difficulties and loneliness. They always go out early and return at sunset during the whole year, and their duty is to protect green mountains and clear waters.

“Because of poor road conditions, if rangers go to the farthest villages for patrols, they have to walk 30 to 40 kilometres on mountain roads, climb four mountains, and cross more than 10 rivers,” Hao said. “And each patrol takes three to four days.”
When Hao returns from his patrol every day, he writes down the results in the patrol diary, recording his love for mountains and forests.
“The environment is improving day by day, and that makes me feel my work is worth it,” he said.
