W：I'm sorry, but I can't find the book you lent to me. M：Oh, that's all right.
W：I must apologize. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow.
M：No, please don't. I couldn't let you do that. It's an old book. Just let it go. (Text 4)
W：What time do you start working?
M：I work from 9 to 3. Then I start again at 5：30 and work until 10：30, six days a week. W：And do you have to work at the weekend? M：Oh, yes, that's our busiest time. (Text 5)
W：Did you go on a trip alone or with your friends last month?
M：I was planning to go with Jeff and Richard, but they both couldn't spare the time. W：What did you do with your dog while you were away? M：Oh, Tom is a good traveler, as long as he gets a chance to play. (Text 6)
W：Excuse me. How much do you want for this bowl?
M：Don't move it. It's easy to break. That's one piece of outstanding glass in perfect shape. It's worth 150 dollars.
W：Oh, I couldn't possibly pay that much.
M：Hold on, lady. I said it was worth 150 dollars but I can give it to you for only 120 dollars.
W：I'll give you 60 dollars.
M：60! Come on, lady. You've got to be kidding. I paid more than that for it myself. Take it for 90 dollars. I can't go any lower than that.
W：Well, maybe I could give you 80 dollars.
M：OK. Let me wrap it up for you. There you are, lady, a real bargain. (Text 7) M：Time to eat!
W：I'm starving. Oh, what's that? Where is Mom? M：Now, Mom put me in charge of dinner tonight. W：But what is it? What's the smell?
M：It's pizza. I just followed an old family recipe here. W：Let me see. Oh, Dad. You're missing a page!

M：Well, I couldn't find the second page of the recipe, but don't worry. I have plenty of experience around the house.
W：That's not what Mom said.
M：Here let us try a piece first. This is great.
W：Dad, you put a little too much salt in it. Besides, it's burned. And what's that? M：That's just part of my own recipe. I added some pumpkin.
W：Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn't go with pizza! (Text 8)
M：Laura, what was your first job?
W：The first job I had was a sales assistant in a shoe shop. When I was fifteen, I got my first job and I used to work every Saturday for 8 hours a day and I used to earn 1.5 pounds per hour.
M：It doesn't sound like very much.
W：No, so in England now, the minimum may be 5 pounds. M：Oh, wow! So how long did you work at this job?
W：I worked all together in three different shoe shops. In the first one I worked for a year and then it closed down. After that they moved me to another one, the same company. Three months later they moved me to a new shoe shop because they were short of hands. But half a year later I left my job when I had to study for my exams at school.
(Text 9)
W：Oh, where are we going? M：I want to show you something. W：I know, but what is it?
M：A farm. It's just down this road. It's a small place, but at least it would be our own. W：A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
M：It isn't large, only 1 acre. We wouldn't have to pay very much right now. W：Is there a house on the farm?
M：A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.
W：OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
M：There is about half an acre behind the house. That's plenty of space. We can probably grow a lot of our own food.
W：What are you thinking about growing?
M：Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.

W：Do we have enough money to get all of these?
M：I think we've saved enough. We can also ask John about the money he borrowed from us.

(W) Good morning, boys and girls. As we know, in the past years our school held many competitions successfully every year, like Singing Competition and Dancing Competition. In fact I do know most of the students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last year. But, now we'll have something that may be much more fun. It's the Pet Competition! Well, in fact, it aims at letting all students know the importance of loving animals. Nowadays, too many people can't treat animals so well. They do not think carefully before getting a pet.
At the competition, you will not be disappointed because our teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love animals. Instead, we can all learn something from a relaxing environment. There's a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best dog. The competition will be based on the dogs' ability. Unfortunately this competition is not open to your pets this year. Our school has selected five dogs for this competition. That means, we can just sit back and enjoy. So please come to join this event and vote for your favorite dogs! How can you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year?

When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
版权所有:中国好课堂www.zghkt.cn
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”
According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and
the sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.
Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’”
Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.
Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了电影制作人Rob Stewart为保护环境所作出的努力以及他对年轻人的影响。
24．What can we learn about Rob Stewart? A．He cares about the environment. B．He likes taking challenging jobs. C．He spends most of his time traveling. D．He made his first film four years ago.

25．What does the underlined word “irreversible” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Easy to accept. B．Hard to notice.
