14、Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could often see her sit by her window, sewing or reading.

After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t clean her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including the windows.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. 1．The writer tells us that the woman ________.

16、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

1．The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______. A．plants are important for life B．plants cannot grow without air C．there are many plants in the world D．we can not live without water

2．What can we infer(推断) from the passage ? A．Spores are seeds

18、You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?

A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places.

Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.

From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the

environmental problems every year.

To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.

19、After–class Activities

Nowadays, after–class Activities are becoming more and more popular in junior schools. After-class activities are very

good for students. First, after-class activities can help students relax, because students have a lot of homework, they are under much pressure. Second, after-class activities can help students learn new skills from the activities. They are very useful to them for their work and life in the future. In our school, there are many kinds of after-class activities such as chess club, music club, art club, English club and so on.

Last year I took part in the English club. I learnt a lot from the club. I improved my oral English so much and now I can speak well. I feel very pleased with it.

I hope everybody can take an active part in after-school activities.
