Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you can not have enough sleep. Then you can not think properly and you can not do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes nutrition (營養(yǎng)) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!
The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.
Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(濕氣) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).
Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!
【小題1】The writer is worried about Mount Kilimanjaro’s ________.

A．great height

B．extinct volcano

C．rainforests

D．white snow cap

【小題2】Mount Kilimanjaro is __________

A．the highest mountain in the world	B．a(chǎn)n active volcano
C．a(chǎn) free-standing mountain	D．15,000 feet above the sea level

【小題3】The snow on the mountain comes from ________.

A．the Indian Ocean	B．the Pacific Ocean
C．the Atlantic Ocean	D．the Red Sea

【小題4】_________ influences the mountain’s own weather.

A．Rain and snow

B．Its great height

C．Crops

D．The moisture

【小題5】 People should _______ to stop the mountain’s snow cap from melting.

A．save the water of the Indian Ocean	B．protect the environment
C．not visit Kilimanjaro	D．not plant crops on the mountain

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.

Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.

We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.

We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.

What can we do to solve these problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.

The importance of protecting the environment
Problems	◆ More fish being caught. ◆ More 1.    being cut down. ◆ More waste products being put into rivers. ◆ More2.    being born.
Causes	◆ The world is becoming too 3.    . ◆ Modern methods make the situation worse .
Result	We human beings will not survive on the earth.
Solutions	◆ Eat more vegetables and less meat so that more food will be available  for everyone. ◆ Use modern methods of 4.    control so that the population will not grow too fast. ◆ Educate people so that the 5.   will be better and cleaner.

We stayed on the top and had a good time. After lunch we started going down. We got to the tour hotel at about four in the afternoon. Though we were tired, we were very happy. We came back to school the next day.
