Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

马丁·路德·金是一个黑人牧师，并成为了20世纪50年代和60年代的民权运动的伟大领袖。 金1929年1月15日出生于佐治亚州的亚特兰大。当他年轻的时候,他受到梭罗的思想,印度领导者甘地的非暴力抵抗的思想的强烈影响。从波士顿大学接受过Ph. D(哲学博士)的学习,他于1955年成为一个非暴力组织人和宗教领袖。 1963年8月28日，他带领超过25万美国人在华盛顿游行，以争取民权法，以保证所有的人平等，并在林肯纪念堂前发表他最有名的演说“我有一个梦想”。 “梦想”是一个黑色和白色的皮肤能友爱和平等的梦想。因此,他在1964年荣获诺贝尔和平奖,但四年后他被谋杀了。

Passage 7

A public house which was recently bought by Mr. James is up for sale. He is going to sell it because it is haunted (闹鬼的). He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost (鬼) must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, he shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept it even if he gives it away.

Passage 8

After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he

could not afford to buy any more chocolate.

It all began a year ago when Albert returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend \found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he preferred chocolate to bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to bribe him to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his weekly wages to keep Bingo supplied with that in the end he had to move somewhere else.

Passage 9

Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.

China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.

The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have

caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.

What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.

你现在还能从超市里获取免费的塑料袋吗？这种现象已经改变。

中国已经在商店和超市里禁止使用免费的塑料袋，消费者需要自己出钱购买。这项规定从2008年6月1日正式实施。它说明我们国家正在为减少垃圾而努力。制造超薄的塑料袋也是被禁止的。

中国人曾经每天消耗30亿个塑料购物袋，它们已经对环境造成了污染。塑料购物袋已经成为引起白色污染的主要因素，因为它们很容易破裂，而且人们总是把它们扔的到处都是。所以中国人被鼓励在购物时使用自己携带的袋子。

到底什么样的购物袋是最好的呢？重庆的一些学生有了一个好主意。他们用旧衣服来制作布袋子，并把它们作为礼物赠送给自己的父母。

他们也要求他们的父母和朋友来使用布袋子，代替塑料袋。他们认为保护环境是他们的责任。

Passage 10

Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside the city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage（污水，排水）system. The sewage system takes away the
