Every student uses water at school every day: we wash hands, clean classrooms, water plants and drink from fountains. However, many of us waste water without noticing it. A recent survey shows that the weekly water wastage of a middle school can be over 2,000 litres because of running taps and broken pipes. Most students leave the tap running while they wash their hands. Some students play with water during breaks. Leaking taps are another big problem—they drip day and night but no one fixes them. Teachers and students are working together to change this. Many schools put up signs to remind people to turn off taps tightly. Some classes have “water monitors” to check taps after break time. Students also learn to collect rainwater for the school garden. Small actions add up. If every student saves one cup of water a day, a whole school can save thousands of litres in a month. Answer the following questions. 1. Why is clean drinking water valuable according to Paragraph 1? 2. What does the word “wastage” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in English? Try to explain it according to the passage. 3. What do “water monitors” do? 4. How do students deal with rainwater in the passage? 5. Give two more different suggestions on saving water at school. (Not mentioned in the passage) Passage 2 The Girl Who Saved Her Village Lila lived in a small village. It had not rained for three months. The river dried up. Villagers had to walk five kilometres every day to carry water home. Lila was only 13, but she wanted to help. She remembered her grandpa told her there was an old spring behind the mountain. No one believed her because the spring had been dry for many years. But Lila decided to have a try. Early the next morning, she took a shovel and climbed the mountain. She dug and dug for hours. Her hands hurt, but she did not stop. At noon, she felt cool wet soil under her feet. A small stream of water began to flow out! Lila ran back to the village excitedly and told everyone the good news. Villagers followed her up the mountain. They saw the clear water running out and cheered loudly. From that day on, the village had water again. Answer the following questions. 1. Why did villagers walk five kilometres every day? 2. Who told Lila about the old spring? 3. How long had the spring been dry? 4. What did Lila take with her when she climbed the mountain? 5. Continue the story in about 30 words. What did the villagers do after they found the spring? How did they thank Lila? 话题二：Digital life Passage 1 Phones at School: Good or Bad? Nowadays, almost every teenager has a smartphone. Many schools allow students to bring phones to school, but students cannot use them in class. Phones must be silent and kept in schoolbags during lessons. Some people think phones are helpful at school. Students can use them to look up new words, take photos of notes, or record their spoken English to improve pronunciation. Educational apps also make learning more interesting. However, many teachers disagree. They say phones distract students. Some students send messages, watch videos or play games in class. This makes lessons slow and unfair for others who want to study. Phones also cause problems between classmates—cyberbullying is becoming more common. Many schools are trying new rules: some use phone lockers, and some allow phones only for study tasks with teacher permission. Answer the following questions. 1. Where must students put their phones during lessons? 2. How can phones help with spoken English according to the passage? 3. Why do many teachers disagree with using phones at school? 4. What do some schools use to keep phones? 5. What is your opinion? Do you think smartphones should be allowed at school? Give at least two reasons. Passage 2 The Day Without Screens It was Saturday morning. Emma woke up and reached for her phone as usual—but it was not there. Her parents put all the phones, tablets and the TV in a big box. “Today is Screen-Free Day,” they said. Emma felt bored at first. She walked around the house and had nothing to do. Then her mum took out a board game. They played together and laughed a lot. After lunch, Dad suggested going outside. They rode bikes to the park and flew a kite. Emma met her neighbour Lily and they climbed trees and picked flowers. When the sun went down, they went back home. Emma's parents took the electronics out of the box. But Emma did not run for her phone. “I had a really good day today,” she said. “I didn't miss my phone at all.” Answer the following questions. 1. Why couldn't Emma find her phone in the morning? 2. What did Emma and her mum play at home? 3. Where did they go after lunch? 4. Who did Emma meet in the park? 5. Continue the story in about 30 words. What did Emma do that evening? Did she change her habit of using phones? 话题三：Curious mind Passage 1 Why Is Curiosity Important? A curious mind is the starting point of all discoveries. When you are curious, you ask questions, look for answers and learn new things. Curiosity makes your brain active and keeps you interested in the world. Many great inventors were curious about everything when they were young. Thomas Edison asked hundreds of strange questions at school. His teacher thought he was not clever, but his curiosity led him to invent the light bulb and many other useful things. For students, curiosity helps you study better. If you are curious about a subject, you will pay more attention in class and think more deeply. You will not just remember facts, but truly understand them. Curiosity is not only for scientists. Everyone can develop it. You just need to keep asking “why” and “how”, and explore the world around you. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the starting point of all discoveries? 2. Who thought Edison was not clever at school? 3. How does curiosity help students study better? 4. What did Edison invent according to the passage? 5. Give two ways to develop your curiosity in daily life. Passage 2 The Boy Who Watched Ants Tom was a curious boy. He liked watching insects in the garden. One afternoon, he saw a line of ants carrying a piece of biscuit. He wondered: How do ants know where to go? He ran inside and got a magnifying glass. He watched the ants carefully. He noticed that they touched each other's heads when they passed by. “Maybe that's how they talk,” Tom thought. To test his idea, he put a small stone across the ant path. The leading ant stopped. It walked around and found a new way. Then it went back and touched the other ants. Soon all the ants changed their way and kept carrying the food. Tom was very excited. He wrote down what he saw in his notebook. Later, he looked it up on the Internet and learned that ants use pheromones to communicate. That day, Tom learned a lot just by watching and thinking. Answer the following questions. 1. What did Tom like doing in the garden? 2. Why did Tom use a magnifying glass? 3. What did Tom put across the ant path? 4. How do ants communicate according to the Internet? 5. Continue the story in about 30 words. What did Tom do the next day? Did he find anything new about ants? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
