• 1．To minimize the risk of spreading the virus，we should travel in uncrowded areas if allowed.Here are some vacations you can plan this spring.
     Visit a local farm
     Visiting a farm is "number one" travel pick right now，which can be a wonderful family activity，educational and entertaining for children and adults alike.Price plays a big role in that suggestion.A farm is a family business and a home.Respecting the farmers' work load and their privacy is important.
     Visit a geological park
     The total number of national geological parks in China has increased to more than 200，so odds are you've got one in driving range.If you're up for a challenge，you can climb Mount Danxia with a deep red color，bright like sunset glow.There are over six hundred stone hills，walls，pillars，and stone bridges in Danxia Scenic Area.An annual pass，which guarantees entry to every spot，is just ＄30 for one adult.
  Plan a camping trip
     It doesn't cost much more than camping.Most provinces have dozens of drive-in camp sites，while you can also find cabins in the ＄40 - ＄90 per night range.There's no shortage of activities，either - whether it's fishing，hiking，biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
  Rent an RV（露營(yíng)車(chē)；房車(chē)）
     RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation.Using an RV for a vacation means you're paying for your transportation and lodging all in one.Also，considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as ＄80 - ＄150 per night，you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.

• 2．High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class.But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.

• 3．Anyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea-recycling aluminum cans in a different way，which is apparently also good for the environment.So you're actually killing two birds with one stone.It goes without saying that recycling aluminum cans can save resources，energy，time and money.People usually save and place aluminum cans in the dustbins，which are then collected and taken away by cleaners，who will finally recycle them in the recycling center.But if you save the aluminum cans，and skip the cleaners，you can save these same cans for something more important-helping the poor.In other words，by doing less，you are giving the environmental cause some new significance.
     Here is how to put this idea into action.Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag.For the dirty ones，rinse them out first.Store the bag of clean aluminum cans.Once you collect about one hundred cans or more，take the cans to the recycle center yourself.There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound.And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans.Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.
     By now，you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor.Consider this：Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the direction that history takes？The answer is probably no.What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing？History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community.And that will surely be powerful enough to make a bigger difference.
     Go to your community or your school and spread your idea.Share your idea and save your aluminum cans with other people.One hundred people can speak louder than one.And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred times.And if more people join in the cause around the world，an even larger difference can be made，and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.
  
  （1）What's special about the new idea？

  
  A．It makes profits.
  B．It saves resources.
  C．It benefits the poor.
  D．It involves cleaners.
  （2）What can we infer from paragraph 2？

  
  A．Dirty cans do not sell well.
  B．You decide who receives the money.
  C．A hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.
  D．The recycle center is conveniently located.
  （3）What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 probably refer to？

  
  A．A great individual or event.
  B．The direction history takes.
  C．The collective will of people.
  D．The neighbourhood you live in.
  （4）Which of the following does the writer want to tell us？

  
  A．Many hands make light work.
  B．Kill two birds with one stone.
  C．Don't put the cart before the horse.
  D．No man can do two things at once.

     Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old.Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.
     "Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it，" recalled Sara.The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter.Sara named the duck Pinky.
     Sara's mother really didn't think the baby duck would survive very long.But to her surprise，Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger.Soon，the little duckling was a healthy，hungry duck with white feathers.
     "We fed Pinky oatmeal，cooked and uncooked，and small pieces of vegetables，" said Sara.Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family.She specially fancied taking baths with Sara.Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.
     But just when everything appeared to be perfect，the night of the "talk" came.Sara's Mom and Dad sat her down，explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life，with other ducks.It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family，her father told jye.air.He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.
     Sara started to cry，knowing what was going to happen.Sara's parents decided to take Pinky to a park，which was two miles away.There was a pond with a lot of other ducks.Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.
     The big day came，Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park.Sara said that Pinky did not look happy；maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human，not a duck.
  注意：
