Those workers travelled to twenty-seven countries and it took them about four years to finish the documentary.
The documentary opens our eyes to the natural world, and it shares an important message with us. Plants are really vital in nature: They help us in many ways, such as making oxygen, cleaning the air and giving us fruit. They are our best friends. We shouldn’t damage (伤害) them.

Siene is a firefighter in the USA. It isn’t easy to become a firefighter there. Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are women firefighters.
When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消防预备学院). The WFPA trains women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself.
Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of wood for four minutes? How many exercises can you do? Can you lift a 12-metre ladder?
You also need other skills. Can you lead a team? Are you a skillful driver? Can you use technology? There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even after passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to persist in your dream.
28. When did Siene dream of being a firefighter?
A. At the age of five. B. When she was ten years old. C. Thirty years ago.
29. What do the underlined words “persist in” mean in Chinese?
A. 坚持 B. 创造 C. 减少
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Firefighting is always a job for men now.
B. Everyone can finish the training at the WFPA.
C. You need a lot of skills to become a firefighter.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Why Siene had such a dream.
B. How Siene improved her skills.
C. How Siene achieved her dream.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Many families live busy lives. Every week, the children have homework, sports, music lessons and club activities. The parents are busy too. They do the housework, cook meals and drive their children to take part in activities. Some families do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. Our community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break.
After three weeks of planning, we took one night off. We called it the “family night”. It was a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework.
On the “family night”, we decided to turn off our televisions. “We also decided not to answer the phone,” answering machines said. “Please call back tomorrow.”
Many families ordered hamburgers and other food from stores or restaurants so that they wouldn’t need to spend time cooking.
There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance (机会) to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV. On the “family night”, families relaxed and spent the evening together. We hope to have more “family nights”.
