(河北人文) 阅读理解 The Hutuo River is the mother river of Shijiazhuang. About 20 years ago, it was dirty and almost dried up. Thanks to the government’s work, it has become much cleaner. Wu Wenzhong, a 58-year-old villager, lives near the river.“My friends and I often played with water, swam and caught fish in it when I was a child. 返回 I liked catching fish best,”he said. He remembers that the villagers had to cross the river by boat at that time. But as time passed by, it got dirty and started to dry up. To remediate the river, the government does a lot of things. They clean the river up and build levees. They plant trees, grass and flowers to green the riverside. 返回 They set up fences and put up “No Swimming”signs along the river to protect people. They stop factories from putting waste water into the river. They keep an eye on the river to make sure it stays clean for the fish, birds and people who live nearby. They also have a long-term plan to keep the river in good condition. 返回 Now, there are more than 20 kinds of birds living around the river. It becomes a home for birds again. People can enjoy a day outdoors with the beauty of nature along the river. Wu and other villagers are happy to see the river looking good again.

Then you must visit Zhangye Geopark ( 地质公园) in China! It’s recognized by UNESCO as one of the best geoparks in the world. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of the rainbow hills. They are low hills that look like waves and have many different colours, just like a rainbow! 返回 There is little grass growing on the land. When you see the hills from above, it’s like you’re looking at rainbows painted on the ground. You may wonder how these colourful hills came to be. Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers brought in sand and stones with different kinds of metal elements. These were left in layers on the bottom of the lake. 返回 Some layers were red, some yellow, and others turned purple or blue. Later, as the climate became colder and drier, the lake dried up. Then, something amazing happened! The underground land began to rise up and push against each other. The layers of sandstone were lifted higher and higher. Through years of wind, sun and rain, they formed the colourful hills we see today. 返回 The period from June to September is the most wonderful time to visit the park. The mornings and evenings are cooler than the hot days, giving you the perfect weather to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Sunshine after a summer rain will make the colours even more beautiful. 返回 25. What can you enjoy in Zhangye Geopark? ________________________________ The beauty of the rainbow hills. 返回 26.

It is over 2,300 km long and lies along the north-eastern coast (海岸) of Australia. The reef is made up of billions of corals. It is home to over 1,500 different kinds of fish. How did the Great Barrier Reef come into being? 返回 The Great Barrier Reef we see today is less than 10,000 years old. About 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, the ice at the North and South Poles turned into water and flooded the land on Australia’s coast. The shallow (浅的) water became the perfect place for corals to grow. Over thousands of years, they joined together and became the Great Barrier Reef today. 返回 Why is the Great Barrier Reef dying? The Great Barrier Reef is facing many problems today. Pollution, overfishing and over tourism have all caused damage (破坏) to the reef. However, the biggest danger facing the Great Barrier Reef is global warming. Warm waters are causing the corals to die. The Great Barrier Reef has lost around half of its corals since 1995 and this number will only grow if we can’t slow or stop global warming. 返回 “ ▲ ” Here are some changes you can make in your own life to help: ·Be a green traveller. ·Plant trees. ·Eat less meat and fish. ·Ask everyone you know to make a change. 返回 20.
