The host said, “Peer pressure is just a part of growing up. You don’t have to fit in with everyone. Be proud of what you love, and don’t let others change who you are.” Her words gave me courage.

C On a spring morning, a student named Le Zongyan from Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School, was studying for exams while a bird kept calling loudly outside the window. Ile was troubled by the noise, so he wrote a letter to the headmaster, suggesting taking away the bird’s nest (巢). The headmaster Yuan Weixing was touched by the letter. He realized the students’ need for a quiet study environment, and then he wrote a. thoughtful reply. Yuan expressed his understanding of the pressure students faced. He explained birds sing loudly for dating (约会) and communication instead of making noise. “The world does not only belong to humans.” Yuan wrote, “Learning to live peacefully with all living things is a necessary part of growing up. The real goal of education is not to ask the world to change for us, but to help us learn how to get along with the world.” “Simply driving the birds away wouldn’t be suitable, but doing nothing wasn’t good, either,” Yuan said. The school then invited environmental experts and students to discuss practical solutions — to provide earplugs (耳塞) to the students in the dorms (寝室) near the wooded areas. At the same time, man-made nests were set up to guide the birds away from the classrooms and dorm buildings. This simple problem became a life lesson about living in peace with nature. 9.

That’s enough to make your feet burn! It may sound crazy, but the locals can cook an egg on the desert sand. Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. It is one of the driest places in China. How do people survive in such a terrible climate? The secret lies in the ancient karez system. The karez system in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells. They appear every 20-30 metres. Some of them are 100 metres deep! Under these wells are large underground canals. Water from the mountains falls into the wells. It then runs underground in the canals. It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat. There are over 5,000 km of underground canals in the area. That’s nearly as long as the Yellow River! Thanks to the karez system, people can grow plants for food in this difficult environment. And amazingly, all of this was completed with only hand tools! 19 Today, the area faces a water shortage. There is less water from the mountains, lower rainfall and a large increase in water use. Although modern technology is solving some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. 20 The centuries-old water system will surely be carried into the future. A. But some plants can still live there. B. It’s known as one of the hottest areas in the world. C. But do you know where the real Flaming Mountains are? D. No wonder it’s among the top three projects of ancient China. E. Now, more and more young people are taking action to protect it. 二、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A forest ranger (护林员) was walking home through the forest.

No matter what we do, working together makes everything better. However, it is not always easy to build a good team. Let’s learn how to build a strong team together! A good leader is the heart of a successful team. Leaders should cheer teammates up, listen to ideas, help solve (解决) problems and so on. For example, leaders can praise (表扬) team members’ efforts and help them set clear goals. When leaders show kindness and confidence, team members (成员) feel safe and encouraged. Communication is the glue that holds teams together. We need to express our feelings and ideas clearly so that we can understand each other better. Good communication helps us a lot during teamwork. Disagreements are normal in any team. When arguments happen, don’t run away! The best way is to quickly solve problems face to face. The leader should help people talk calmly and listen to their opinions instead of taking sides (支持某一方). The team leader must set a good example. If the leader arrives late or is tired of work, team members might follow. But if the leader works hard with a smile, everyone will feel encouraged. A leader’s spirit is like the sunshine that lights up the whole team. No matter our age or job, teamwork skills are so important. When we work together, we can get over challenges and create wonderful results. Let’s practise being good team members and leaders today. 41.
