The journey of a plastic bottle
　　I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters—other bottles which were (1)       water.
　　I felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon (2)       the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water (3)       me. Then she threw me into a dustbin. I have never felt so (4)       and lonely in my life. Early the next morning, a man took me out of the dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many horrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat (平的). I cannot believe how thin I became.
　　I slept (5)      . When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place.
　　Everything around me was ugly and had terrible smells. I was crazy. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else.

33．　　After all these experiences, I learned a lot and began to grow up. One autumn night, when my parents and I returned from my uncle's house, my mother said that we might leave for Australia soon. I was crying on the bus, and some people were turning around to look at me. I could not stop the thought of never hearing the morning radio programmes in school again.
　　I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I couldn't wait to think about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving was hardly in my head then.
　　The following years taught me to think all was going to turn out well, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years, I had to study in three schools because of my family moves. I did not know very clearly what I was or what I should be. Father died and Mother then married again, and things became even more complex (复杂). More than two years passed, my stepfather and I got used to each other at last. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times".
　　My responsibilities in the family increased since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, taught my mother to fill out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers (移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there...
　　I have learned that all common troubles go away at last if we don't give up. My life will turn out all right, even though it will be so hard.

　　Do you walk to school every day? That will work, but not if you like to sleep in the morning. You may be late for your class. If you like bad smells and crowding, the bus might be your choice. But why not a bicycle? A bicycle will get you there (1)       than your feet and will save your money. This is why you see more bicycles than any other kind of transportation in China, about 500 million of them. That's close to one for every two people in the whole country. But if you survey your class at school, you (2)       will find a higher rate.
　　Bicycles become more and more welcomed because they are fun for people and at the same time they help develop a strong body. No vehicle is better than a bicycle for (3)       an autumn weekend outside the city with parents, relatives or friends. You can travel on small quiet paths (小路). You can also park your bicycle (4)       the path wherever you want to stop to admire the beauty. Cycling every day helps people build healthier hearts and stronger muscles. Some scientists say a (5)       ride every day can help you lose weight and keep fit and help you breathe the fresh air. Nowadays, bicycles are also popular with city planners. They see bicycles as a good way to (6)       heavy traffic. Unlike vehicles or buses, bicycles produce no exhaust (废气) and don't burn energy. Many countries are encouraging more daily use of bicycles.

　　Maybe your parents always ask you this question, "Why can't you finish your homework quickly and carefully?" There's a good reason why your parents think homework is very i(1)             to you. Homework helps you learn. And getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life that you want.
How can you get it done? Firstly, you need a quiet place w(2)             any noise or influence (影响). Don't write your homework with a packet of crisps beside you or while talking on the p(3)            . It is not going to help you finish the homework. Turn off the TV, the computer and the MP3. It will be better. You'll finish your work more quickly. Secondly, give yourself e(4)             time and never do it in a hurry. Really learning something t(5)             time. But if you find that you still can't get the answers even after spending a long time on one problem, you need to ask for help. Thirdly, if you find it d(6)            to finish your homework well, it sometimes means you can't understand the lessons you have at school. Fourthly, some children are always busy but in fact they don't spend enough time on homework. Some personal (个人的) p(7)             can cause trouble with your work, too.

36．Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):
　　If you dropped a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, would you think about eating it again? What if you dropped it in the toilet? Bacteria(细菌) can live everywhere, even in some unexpected places.
　　If you eat at your computer, sneeze on your keyboard, or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
　　Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes, the TV remote control (遥控器). It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that about half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
　　Don't forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It's also important to change your toothbrush every three months.
　　Yes, bacteria are everywhere. But most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands regularly. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
