It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present energy coasts, and the type of system you buy are added factors.
Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that’s all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.
We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides begin an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesn’t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.
With all these good points, why don’t we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar coats are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply.
1. Which statement best expresses the main idea?
A) Something about Solar Energy and Pollution.
B) Solar Energy.
C) Energy and Pollution
D) Energy and Money.
2. Solar energy can help us save ____.

Many teenagers(青少年) feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular(尤其是) their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication(交际) is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?
Who chooses your friends?
Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you？

A. You are welcome to have a discussion with us.
B. We’ve got no idea, so your answers are welcome.

4. C。根据全文我们可以推断出青少年对朋友的依赖太重，而与父母相处的时间太少，因此文章建议父母应多了解子女，所以选项 C 最符合题意。

It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack（车顶架）. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake（超车）?”
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers（警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”
I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was--er, something else.”

D．He could save a lot of money and time.

B．Because they didn’t think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it.
C．Because they thought somebody in the writer’s family had died and he needed help.
D．Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.

推荐点小说吧：The Moral Instruments (这是个系列，作者是Cassandra Clare，我正在看，虽然概括不了但是还挺有意思回)；Rick Riordan 的各种书（其中最推荐Percy Jackson and the Olympians，他的答书主要讲各种地方的神话衍生出来的现代故事）Jude Deveraux的Legend三部曲（反乌托邦，罪犯和军人的狗血爱情故事）；还有Judy Blume（初中生日常）和Erin Hunter（对环境描写都详细到变态，要是感觉看得难受就别看了，会抑郁的233）的各种书。
