11.For five days,Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents,and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (紀(jì)念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness (友愛) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival."People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,"Riedel said."It's really easy to relax,and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together."These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes.People who take pleasure in Blues are there,so are people who love Bluegrass.This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience,the festival has become a well-oiled machine,and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible.There are free water stations throughout the venue (舉辦地) for people to fill up their travel cups.When people buy food,reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee,but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets,and in record time.But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan,it's easy to see how that was going to happen.There is no parking area during the festival,so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday,Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金) concert,and will finish up on Sunday,Aug.8.

2.Life is filled with challenges.As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that come with friendship.
When we are faced with a challenge,we usually have two choices.we can try to beat it off(擊退),or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the the trouble and stop doing it.Although there are certainly times when stopping is the right thing to do,in most cases all that is needed is commitment (投入) and  communication.
When we are committed to something,it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is,we will always choose to face it and work it through instead of running away from it.Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong.If you can say to a friend"I got my feelings hurt."instead of"You hurt my feelings",you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you,try to see them for what they are:small hurdles(障礙) you need to jump or get over on your way through life.Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over,and hurt is only to serve to make us stronger.It's all part of growing up,and it happens to everyone,and some day you will look back on all of this and say,"Hard as it was,it made me who I am today.And that is a good thing."
Life is full of challenges that come with friendship.(要點1)In most cases,when dealing with such a challenge,commitment and communication are what all we need.(要點2)Commitment means facing it and working it through while communication means making a space for discussion and avoiding blaming others(高分句型二).(要點3)Remember that challenges actually do us good for they are part of growing up,making who we are today.(要點4)點4).

2.The answer to protecting and saving marine(海洋) wildlife can start with cutting back on something Americans use every day-plastic drinking straws.Actor Adrien Grenier,best known for playing Vincent Chase in the 2015movie Entourage,has launched a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in this country in order to protect and save marine wildlife and the environment.Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the devastating loss of marine life,but they're a great place to start because they're something Americans are using by the hundreds of millions without any clue that they're so damaging.
According to Ecocycle,Americans use more than 500 million straws daily,which is enough to fill 127school buses each day,and they can't be recycled.That means plastic straws end up in landfills or oceans,where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and ingest them.After seeing a photo of a whale beached on the shore with a belly full of plastic,Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation,hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges facing marine life.
Along with stopping the use of straws,Grenier hopes to educate consumers on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles.While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life,there are more sustainable alternatives that can help protect the environment.Ecocycle recommends the use of straws made from stainless steel,glass,and even bamboo instead of plastic.You can buy a number of these environmentally friendly straws online and in stores.

21.What is the primary purpose of the Lonely Whale Foundation?D
A.To advocate a green lifestyle.
B.To promote Grenier's latest movie.
C.To save precious natural resources.
D.To encourage people to protect ocean life.
22.What initially contributed to the start of Grenier's campaign?B
A.Plastic straws in landfills.
B.A picture of a dead whale.
C.The severe damage done to the sea.
D.The disappearance of some species under the sea.
23.Ecocycle advises people to use straws that areD.
A.easy to recycle
B.convenient to use
C.special to marine life
D.harmless to the environment.
