　　Dolphins are one of the cleverest animals in the world. We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water.

　　Dolphins have very good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声).People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.

　　五、任务型阅读 (10分)

　　We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day. We are young, but we can still do something to help. In fact, even the everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

　　Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

　　Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one is good enough! Try not to buy too many things if it is possible.

　　Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure to use them for a long time. We should take care of them and repair them instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

　　Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy, it’s better than throwing away or burning them. Join in recycling programmes. We should take action to help save trees.

　　76 to live a green life

　　To reduce Use 77 .

　　Try to 78 things. Don’t buy too many things.

　　To 79 Use again.
