14.Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite book of teenagers all over the world since it came out in 1908.What it teaches us is simple:How to grow up to be a happy and useful person. Anne is an 11-year-old orphan who arrives in the town of Avonlea,Canada.She helps Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert,a brother and sister,on their farm. At first,Mathew and Marilla hope to adopt(收養)a boy,not a thin girl.Will she be of any use on the farm?It seems unlikely:Anne is very imaginative,talkative and easily distracted (分心的).That's not what is needed on a farm. And yet,Annie proves(證明) that she can actually be useful.She works really hard,but she doesn't lose her great sense of fun and this is why readers love the story.She doesn't become "a good girl",if"good girl"means knowing only how to work and live unhappily.We see Anne's love for life everywhere.She knows how to enjoy herself,whether it's by eating ice cream or trying on a new dress. Many stories for children are written to tell them how to be good.Usually,it means doing one's duty (責任) and not having any fun.But that's not the kind of story Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery wanted to tell.The book gives readers a helping hand rather than try to scare them into being"good"girls and boys.

17.Dirty water can be dangerous to drink and make people get ill.It is harmful to the environment and it may hurt the animals.So where is the dirty water from? Sewage(污水) is a big part of dirty water.In many places,it goes straight into rivers,lakes or seas.Too much sewage will kill fish and other water lives.It makes the water unsafe for animals to drink,wash or swim.So we must let the sewage go into rivers in a right way. Oil is important,but it may be bad for the environment.If a truck or a ship leaks(泄漏) oil,plants and animals may die.For example,when the birds' bodies are full of oil,they aren't able to fly.Their feathers may no longer protect them from the cold weather. Factories often pour waste water into rivers.This may do harm to plants,animals and humans.Some factories filter the waste water before it goes into rivers.In this way,the waste water won't pollute the river and this helps to keep the environment clean. Smoke and gases from factories and cars in the air may pollute the environment.When it rains,the chemicals in smoke and gases fall down together with the rain.They can kill plants and animals. As we all know,water is an important part of human life.And the water resources(資源) are not enough on Earth.So we should try our best to save water and protect the valuable water resources in our daily lives.At the same time,we can also encourage more people to join us.

A.The sewage will look dirty. B.The sewage will pollute the air. C.The sewage will kill some animals. D.The sewage will make the drinking water taste bad. (2)What does the underlined word "filter" in Paragraph4 mean?

18.Traveling to another country is exciting and fun.But if you don't learn about local customs,your trip could become a nightmare with misunderstandings and even trouble.Here are some cultural taboos(禁忌)in certain countries to help prevent things like that.Let's take a look and fit in with local culture. US One of the traditional customs for Americans is to tip jye.ai.People from non-tipping countries may forget to tip.And they may find themselves in an embarrassing situation.Also,pay attention when you have a conversation with Americans.As a tourist in the US,it is not polite to ask people questions like "How old are you?" and "How much do you make?" Mexico In Mexico,bringing an expensive gift to someone's home is a no-no.It could be seen as a bribe(賄賂).Something simple like flowers or a dessert are good gifts.But you should avoid taking along marigolds (金盞花) or red flowers,because in Mexican culture,they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft(巫術).To local people,white flowers are a good gift. Britain Be careful about hand gestures when you visit Britain.If you make the V sign with your palm(手掌)facing you,the locals may get angry.That's because this gesture means the same as the middle finger.It's an insult(侮辱).It is safe to hold off on hand gestures to prevent any misunderstandings. Also,Britons are known for queuing.From the supermarket to the subway,queues are very common in Britain.Usually a British person spends six months of their life in queues.If you jump the queue in Britain,you may upset them.
