I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10: 30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged(拖曳)the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw(鋸子)and a hammer.

After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4: 00 am. Then went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be Tong now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（資源）, we are short of（缺乏） others, for example, fresh water（淡水）. It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening， for example， turn off the water taps（水龍頭） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more food than we need， and so on. Little by little， everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day， if we do our best.

1.From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.

A.eat too much B.don’t work hard

2.Which is not mentioned in this passage？

C.Oil. D.Coal.

3.What may happen in 100 years？

C.We may have a little oil. D.We may have no coal or oil to use.

4.Which of the following is right？
