When I was ten years old, my father took me to visit his hometown in Gansu Province. I thought it would be a fun trip, but I was wrong.
We arrived in a small village. The sun was hot, and the land was dry. There were no green fields or big trees. The first thing I noticed was the water. Every drop was precious. People there used a small bucket of water for the whole day—to drink, cook, and wash.
One morning, I saw a girl about my age. She was walking two kilometers to fetch water from a well. I followed her. When we got there, she filled her bucket and smiled at me. “This is for my family,” she said. “My mother will cook noodles with it.”
I wanted to give her something. I had a new water bottle in my bag—the kind you can carry around. I gave it to her. Her eyes lit up. She said it was the best gift she had ever received.
That day, I learned something important. For me, water was just something from the tap. For her, it was the most valuable thing in the world. I never waste water after that trip.

Dear Millie,
How are you? It’s warm in Beijing now. I have something wonderful to share with you.
Some people don’t think running is interesting. But now I find a good way to make it exciting — “plogging”.
The name of plogging comes from the words “pick up” and “jogging”. When one goes plogging, he or she picks up litter at the same time.
When people go plogging, they carry a pair of gloves and a litter bag. They stop to pick up litter when they see some. Plogging brings environmental protection (环境保护) and healthy living together, so it is popular around the world now.
In my eyes, plogging is much better than running, because picking up litter is another kind of exercise. I enjoy the sport and I go plogging every day.

重难语篇练习
Water is like Earth’s superpower, making our blue planet a happy home for all living things. It covers 71% of the Earth’s surface, moving between oceans, rivers, and clouds in a never-ending circle. But guess what? Only a small part—about 1%—is clean water we can use for drinking, growing food, and keeping animals and plants alive (活着).
Water keeps moving in a special way: it turns into vapor (蒸汽) from the sea, becomes clouds, falls as rain or snow, and comes back to rivers and oceans. This “water circle” helps nature stay healthy. Sadly, people sometimes break this circle. For example, factories put dirty things into rivers, plastic trash hurts sea animals, and some places use too much underground water. Think about families in dry deserts—they save every drop! They take quick showers once a week and use rainwater to grow plants. Their life teaches us not to waste water.
We can all save water through easy actions. First, fix dripping taps and turn off the water while brushing teeth. Second, take shorter showers. Third, use the washing machine only when it’s full and collect rainwater in buckets (桶) to water flowers. Finally, draw colorful posters to remind friends to save water.
We all need water! If we use it wisely, rivers will keep running, oceans will stay blue, and kids in the future can enjoy a beautiful Earth. Remember: “Little drops make a big ocean!” Let’s start saving water today—turn off that tap and be a water hero!
1.What percent of Earth’s water can people drink and use?
A.1%. B.10%. C.50%. D.100%.
2.What makes river water dirty in the passage?
A.Fish swimming. B.Factories. C.Rain. D.Clouds.
3.Which is a good way to save water?
A.Brush teeth with tap on. B.Take long showers.
C.Fix dripping taps. D.Wash one shirt at a time.
4.What does “Little drops make a big ocean” mean?
A.The ocean is very deep and full of fish.
B.Small actions can create big changes.
C.Raindrops look shiny and pretty.
D.We can use buckets to collect rainwater.
5.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.The Wonderful Water Cycle B.Why Oceans Are Salty
C.Problems with Dirty Water D.Save Water, Save Earth

When I was ten years old, my father took me to visit his hometown in Gansu Province. I thought it would be a fun trip, but I was wrong.
We arrived in a small village. The sun was hot, and the land was dry. There were no green fields or big trees. The first thing I noticed was the water. Every drop was precious. People there used a small bucket of water for the whole day—to drink, cook, and wash.
One morning, I saw a girl about my age. She was walking two kilometers to fetch water from a well. I followed her. When we got there, she filled her bucket and smiled at me. “This is for my family,” she said. “My mother will cook noodles with it.”
I wanted to give her something. I had a new water bottle in my bag—the kind you can carry around. I gave it to her. Her eyes lit up. She said it was the best gift she had ever received.
That day, I learned something important. For me, water was just something from the tap. For her, it was the most valuable thing in the world. I never waste water after that trip.

Our school is a green school. What makes it green?
First, we have a lot of trees. There are trees in front of and behind every building. Some trees are green only in spring and summer. And some are green all year round. The trees make our school look like a big forest.
And our school is a green one also because we “go green”. How do we go green? We have two green days every month. On green days, no students or teachers go to school by car.

Dear Millie,
How are you? It’s warm in Beijing now. I have something wonderful to share with you.
Some people don’t think running is interesting. But now I find a good way to make it exciting — “plogging”.
The name of plogging comes from the words “pick up” and “jogging”. When one goes plogging, he or she picks up litter at the same time.
When people go plogging, they carry a pair of gloves and a litter bag. They stop to pick up litter when they see some. Plogging brings environmental protection (环境保护) and healthy living together, so it is popular around the world now.
In my eyes, plogging is much better than running, because picking up litter is another kind of exercise. I enjoy the sport and I go plogging every day.
Do you want to go plogging? Just try it with your friends on your way to school. I am sure you will love it.
Yours,
Li Hua

Once, there was a happy river named Blue. Blue loved singing when she ran through the forest. Fish swam in her clear water, birds drank from her banks, and children played by her side. Blue was very proud (骄傲的) to give life to so many living things.

Water is like Earth’s superpower, making our blue planet a happy home for all living things. It covers 71% of the Earth’s surface, moving between oceans, rivers, and clouds in a never-ending circle. But guess what? Only a small part—about 1%—is clean water we can use for drinking, growing food, and keeping animals and plants alive (活着).
Water keeps moving in a special way: it turns into vapor (蒸汽) from the sea, becomes clouds, falls as rain or snow, and comes back to rivers and oceans. This “water circle” helps nature stay healthy. Sadly, people sometimes break this circle. For example, factories put dirty things into rivers, plastic trash hurts sea animals, and some places use too much underground water. Think about families in dry deserts—they save every drop! They take quick showers once a week and use rainwater to grow plants. Their life teaches us not to waste water.
We can all save water through easy actions. First, fix dripping taps and turn off the water while brushing teeth. Second, take shorter showers. Third, use the washing machine only when it’s full and collect rainwater in buckets (桶) to water flowers. Finally, draw colorful posters to remind friends to save water.
We all need water! If we use it wisely, rivers will keep running, oceans will stay blue, and kids in the future can enjoy a beautiful Earth. Remember: “Little drops make a big ocean!” Let’s start saving water today—turn off that tap and be a water hero!
1.What percent of Earth’s water can people drink and use?
A.1%. B.10%. C.50%. D.100%.

3.Which is a good way to save water?

5.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.The Wonderful Water Cycle B.Why Oceans Are Salty

The earth is our beautiful home. There are high mountains, wide plains, flowing rivers and big oceans. Nature is really amazing. But now, because people take a lot from nature and harm it, there are many environmental (环境的) problems. ________
Respecting nature means we know nature is very strong. It creates (创造) all living things and has great power. We are part of nature and rely on (依赖) it. We should obey nature’s rules. For example, we shouldn’t catch too many fish in rivers and oceans to keep the ecological balance (生态平衡). Don’t waste too many resources, and don’t make the environment dirty.
As students, we can do many things to help. First, we can read simple science books and watch nature films. This helps us know more about nature and makes us want to protect it. Second, we should save water at home. Use less water when we wash. Third, say no to things like plastic bags and forks. Use things that can be used again. We can also plant trees or flowers. Even a small plant in the garden is good. Last, don’t buy things made from wild animals and help protect them. In this way, we can become friends of nature and help keep the earth nice.
