A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles. He's making the trip to encourage the government and others to value and protect Indonesia's rainforests.
Medi Bastoni is 43 years old. He is an Indonesian. Indonesia is a large country in the world formed by a group of islands. There are over 16, 000 islands there，and most of them are covered with rainforests. But on Java, where Mr. Bastoni lives, far more forests have been cleared.
Mr. Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down, and to restore (恢复) them when they have been destroyed. Near his home, Mount Wilis is now being restored, but Mr. Bastoni wants to make the protection continue. That's how he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk.
And walking backwards? Mr. Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past. Walking backwards is a good way to get attention. Right now, Mr. Bastoni's backward walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.
Mr. Bastoni is wearing a frame(框架)that supports a large mirror in front of him, above his head. This allows Mr. Bastoni to look behind him while walking backwards. Besides, Mr. Bastoni is carrying a backpack with some clothes and a little food. He is planning on buying more meals from restaurants along the way. He has been sleeping at police stations, security posts, and even strangers homes during the trip. His plan is to cover about 19 miles a day. In early August he was in Sragen -- about 100 miles from his home. It's not clear whether Mr. Bastoni is still on track to arrive in Jakarta by August 17. 4. What do we know about rainforests in Indonesia? A. Indonesia has the largest area of rainforests in the world. B. The loss of rainforests is getting serious on Java. C. The islands there are all covered by rainforests. D Local people pay great attention to rainforests. 5. Why did Mr Bastoni want to take the 435-mile walk? A With the purpose of fighting climate change. B. With the aim of becoming a healthy person. C. With the hope of rebuilding rainforests. D. With deep love for traditional sports. 6. What's the function of the large mirror? A. To make sure of Mr. Bastoni's safety.
B. To show Mr. Bastoni's position correctly. C. To allow Mr. Bastoni to look forwards easily. D. To help Mr. Bastoni enjoy views on the road. 7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The difficulty of protecting rainforests in Indonesia. B. The importance of rainforests to Indonesia. C. A trip to recall history and attract attention. D. A walking backwards trip to save rainforests.

I come to theUnited Statesten year ago. I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.
Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.
One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”
The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I foundChaffeyCollege. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.
That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I have had great rewards. My daughter had to write a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why . She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to College. I will never forget this. 8. According to the passage, the author probably is a .
A. teacher B. doctor C. father D. mother 9. What made the author make up her mind to study English? A. What her son said. B. What her daughter said.
C. Thinking about herself. D. Thinking about her daughter. 10. How did they findChaffeyCollege? A. On the way to the movies. B. They took a new route and got lost. C. Ask a stranger for information. D. According to the banner.
11. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The author came to theUnited Statesfrom another country. B. The author had two children at least including one daughter. C. What really changed the author’s life was she believed in herself. D. The author wrote that she was the person her son most admired.

In recent years,people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat and salt, more fruits and vegetables.
But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, \"There is no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. \" And with schools being occupied with test scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eating time.
This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.
This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energy intake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the afternoon.
As Ettinger explains,some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue. This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a
kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foods easy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast, and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible. 12. What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?
A. The quality of school lunches. B. The performance of school kids. C. The school lunch time kids have. D. The eating habits of school kids. 13. What happens to children in American schools?
A. They are occupied with many tests. B. They fail to get along with each other. C. They consume more meat than before. D. They have less lunch time than before. 14. How are low-income kids influenced by the problem at school? A. They can't go to classes on time. B. They can't have enough energy. C. They can't share different kinds of food. D. They can't hold a positive attitude toward life. 15.What can parents do to solve the problem? A. Prepare a better lunch for their kids. B. Stop their kids going to the cafeteria. C. Force schools to make adjustments to lunch. D. Guide their kids on how to pack their own lunch. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
