 Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.

When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.

The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.

The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”

A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.

“Zero waste” or “danshari” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.

Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste”, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.

A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule-Refuse Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over August-October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.

Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos. Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with, ideas to make the best of the used things.

“Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Ya, “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧). It is just around us at our finger-tips.” Yu expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.

23．Bea Johnsonsuggests that people should                

1. work hard for the Red Cross               B.share objects with others

C . Help their friends live comfortably          D.try to produce no rubbish in life

24．We can see from the passage that Yu Yuan ________.

A．offers plastic bags in her store B．is influenced by the 6R rule

C．often buys things she doesn’t need D．likes listening to CDs very much

25．What Yu Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that ________.

A．lots of people doubt the zero-waste lifestyle B．she feels it hard to continue her lifestyle

C．her friends have followed her lifestyle D．the zero-waste lifestyle is not difficult to live

26．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Opening up a second-hand store B．Recycling waste

C．Saving the environment D．Joining the couple

                             D

What makes us who we are? This question has two different answers. One is the environment that surrounds us when we grow up and the other is our genes (基因). In English this is called the “nature vs nurture debate(辩论)”. Nature means genes and nurture means environment including the people around you.

There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” Now there is a scientific research to support this famous saying.

They watched small birds in new environments and wrote down how much they explored(探索). Birds that grew up with very outgoing birds were more outgoing themselves. Scientists at the universities of Exeter UK and Hamburg Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities（个性） were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up – more so than genes.

Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds personality is mainly determined（决定） by environment.” However human personalities are a lot more complicated than birds so there is much we still don’t know. The nature vs nurture debate will continue for a long time if not forever.

27. The famous saying in the passage tells us _________.

A.A 7-year-oldchildren don’t know much.

B.The nurturing period plays a part in one’s life.

C.How to raise a child in a good way.

D.Nature makes us who are.

28. Nick Royle is a(n) ______ scientist.

A. American B. British C. German D.Chinese

29. What does the underlined word “complicated” mean?

A. 有趣的 B. 类似的 C. 复杂的

30. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. The environment and genes affect our personality.

B. The scientists are sure that the environment influences the human personality more than the genes do.

C. The nurture means the environment .
