W: By saving water,
M: Well, how can we do that?
W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things like watering the plants outside.
M: Oh, what else?
W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you rind a garbage can to put it in. Because throwing rubbish carelessly makes our planet dirty, Do you like seeing rubbish all over the ground?
M: No, I don't. Do you have any other suggestions?
W: Yes, we shouldn't waste paper, because trees are being cut down to make paper. By saving paper, we save the forests where animals live.
M: So how can children save paper? I mean everyday.
W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save newspapers so that I could fold things out of them like paper trees instead of just throwing them away. Now the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a factory as raw material.
M: That's great. Well, thanks Catherine for your ideas.

A.When she is taking a bath.

听力原文:M: Hi, Helen, I've been looking for you!
W: Really? Such a coincidence. I am also looking for you.
M: You don't know how difficult it is to find a car I want.
W: Have you been to the second-hand market?
M: Yes, but... didn't you tell me that when cars get older they get cheaper?
W: Sure! What happened?
M: I called in response to an ad yesterday for a very old car. It was priced somewhere over $10,000! Do you think I can get anything for $3,500?
W: Sure. I just heard about something I've wanted to talk to you about.
M: Oh, that's why you are looking for me, isn't it?
W: Yeah. My uncle's mother-in-law is 86 now, and recently her eyesight became very bad. That means she can't drive anymore, but she's got a 1978 Buick Century that would be perfect for you. M: Is it still good? How much do you think she wants?
W: It's really very good — only 43,000 miles on it. There's no rust on it, and the interior is like new. But there is certainly something wrong with it: it needs a tune-up, a new set of tires and if you buy it you'd better put all new hoses and ignition wires on it. They crack when they get old.
M: Anything else?
W: Maybe in about 10,000 miles the brakes would need attention.
M: That sounds like quite a bit of expense already!
W: But look, everything it needs will probably cost $500 or less. You could buy it for $2,150, I'm sure. So for a lot less than the $3,500 or so, you'd have a really good car that would last for years. M: It sounds better when you put it that way. When can I see it?
W: How about right now?
M: All right. Let's go.

So, how old is old? The answer is one you' ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. "You are as old (or young) as you feel." The calendar simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you' ve lived.
"Youth", wrote an unknown author, "is not a time of life--it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by deserting (抛弃) their ideals."
Old is a point of view. Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City Commission for the Aging, said, "It annoys me when people say, 'Gee, you look young for your age. ' What does that mean? Is there some model that you' re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know, you can die old at 30 and live young at 80."
It is often believed that most older people are in poor health. But the fact is that there are neither biological nor physiological (生理学的) reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It's possible to remain physically fit throughout your life.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The concept of "old" is differently defined in different times.
B.Nobody can remain physically healthy throughout the life.
C.The progress in medical knowledge has contributed a lot lo longer lives of us.
D.Older people may get ill and physically disabled more easily than younger ones.

"His grandfather did," answered Jimmy's mother.
Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day, and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.
But one of the neighbors did not like the noise, so one morning, she took a sharp(锋利) knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was playing his dram. She said to him, "Hello, Jimmy. Do you know there's something very nice inside your drum? Here is a knife. Open the drum and let's find it."
How old was Jimmy?
A.Even years old.
B.Six years old.
C.Five years old.
听力原文: Mrs. Ruth Li, a Chinese woman living in Singapore, named her baby girl Patsy Li. This name means in Chinese" white plum blossom. "When Pasty Li was six years old, the Japanese attacked Singapore. Mrs. IA and Patsy Li escaped on a ship which was sunk. Mrs. Li placed Patsy Li on a bit of floating wreckage. Later Mrs. Li was rescued, but her daughter could not be found.
Many months after, four thousand miles away on the Guadal Canal, a group of American soldiers on the sea found the little Chinese girl. No one could tell how she had got there. She refused to talk or give her name. The priest in the army who spoke Chinese, named her Patsy Lee because he thought she looked like a white plum blossom.
When The New York Times told about the finding of" Patsy Lee," could Pasty Lee be the lost child Patsy Li? The mother made the long voyage to find out. The little "white plum blossom" was indeed her own Patsy Li.
