On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 1 rock that is about 3,000 feet straight up. I touched that rock and knew 2 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life􀆳s passion(钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I􀆳ve long made Yosemite my 3 . About 15 years ago, I started seeing a lot of 4 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It was beyond me why visitors started respecting the place 5 and treated such a beautiful home- like place this way. I tried picking up rubbish myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed al over again weeks later. Finaly, I got so 6 it that I decided something had to change. As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 7 . On that day, more than 300 people 8 . Over three days we colected about 6,000 pounds of rubbish. It was amazing how much we were able to achieve. I couldn􀆳t believe the 9 we made—the park looked clean. Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of rubbish and covered 132 miles of roadway. I often hear people 10 about their surroundings(环境). If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than complaining. We need to teach by example.

Don􀆳t worry if we haven􀆳t learned wel how to save or spend money. The folowing life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn􀆳t grow on trees. As kids, we don􀆳t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn􀆳t spend al our money in one go. It􀆳s important for us to have a budget(预算). In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we realy want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can􀆳t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can􀆳t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we􀆳ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal wil greatly satiate us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account(账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actualy, learning about money isn􀆳t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! ( )1. Where does money come from according to the text? A. Parents􀆳 hard work. B. Kids􀆳 life lessons. C. Good spending habits. D. The bank account. ( )2.

They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. 2 ① Do you have a landline at home? Landlines are phones that people plug into their living room wals. Mobile phones didn􀆳t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to cal someone? They looked for a payphone! Now, most people have their own mobile phones and many homes no longer have landlines. ② People today store plenty of information online or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just about 180 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaler and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and more than 22,000 disks to match the storage(储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③ It􀆳s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands of photos just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a rol of film. This alowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the rol, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could colect after a few days. Technology changes al the time, and the gadgets we use today wil one day be old. What do you think wil be the next to disappear? ( )6. What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A.
