Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me ---why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. She told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.
I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of
- 2 -
us even had imaginary friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds. Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

You have most likely heard of renewable energy or even used it in your home, or office to do your part for the environment. Renewable energy is energy from natural resources including the wind, sunlight, and water. This form of energy is always renewed and cannot be exhausted. The most popular modern day form of this energy can be seen in solar paneling(电池板). Renewable energy can produce electricity and plays a major role in reducing greenhouse emissions(排放) and fossil fuels (化石燃料).
A study by the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory predicts that renewable energy resources can soon provide up to 80 percent of the electricity in the United States. The study was conducted to decide how renewable

energy can meet the needs of a rapidly increasing population. Using the current solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal(地热), and hydropower, this 80 percent increase is a promising possibility for our future.
Increasing this renewable energy will provide practical benefits for our economy, climate, and health. Not only will it greatly reduce global warming, but it will improve public health, and provide many economic benefits. In a future with 80 percent fewer renewables, our carbon emissions will also be reduced by 80 percent, and water use will be cut in half.
This future is both possible and affordable, and we already have the tools in place to begin. However, we need to make improvements to our current electricity grid(电网) first. Additionally, the United States needs to carry out a clean energy policy for renewables.
32. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. protecting the environment B. the use of renewable energy C. reducing global warming D. the form of renewable energy
33. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “exhausted” in the first
paragraph?
A. Tired. B. Removed. C. Created. D. Used up. 34. Which of the following is not renewable energy?
A. Solar. B. Geothermal. C. Hydropower. D. Fossil fuels. 35. What will the renewables bring us?
A. Doing good to our economy, climate, and health. B. Partly increasing global warming. C. Increasing our cost. D. Improving current electricity grid.
