Most people hate change，which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life.And for some of us，even the smallest changes can upset our day.So the question is：Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard？
   Fear of change is nothing new.Over a century ago，the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city：the Eiffel Tower.In fact，the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction.As strange as it may seem，their anger was completely natural.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made，so they became angry.
   But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make：which school to attend，which job to take，whom to marry.Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.
   People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible.When they are flexible，people can adapt to new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who oppose change，especially with technology in the workplace，may find themselves out of a job.
   When change comes，and you have no choice but to face it，embrace it.A positive attitude helps a lot.In fact，the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.Don't merely focus on how you feel about change；instead decide to accept the change.The change is the reality，and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know-your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!

1．When did you last stop to look at a tree？Really look at it ，not merely notice it.Trees play such an important role in our lives and yet day to day we often don' t even notice them；we often take them for granted.Yet if you are looking to strengthen your grounds ，reduce pollution around your school ，improve your children's health and wellbeing and develop your science subject ，then planting trees is certainly the way forward.
   The first and most obvious benefit of starting a tree -planting program is the environmental impact.Children are enthusiastic，and often highly knowledgeable about climate change and the main causes of it.They are also interested in projects that can make a difference to their community' s carbon footprints.Planting trees is an easy and long-lasting way to involve pupils and to have a positive impact on the climate.
   A tee-planting program also offers teachers the opportunity to discuss biodiversity （生物多樣性） and gives pupils the chance to get involved in an actual example.It' s a real-life science experiment and will provide children with amazing habitats to study in science lessons for years to come.
   Planting trees can also have a positive impact on children' s mental health.One in four people in the UK will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives and one in 10 children aged 5-1 6 have a diagnosable （可診斷的） mental health condition ，according to The Children' s Society.Mental health is a complex issue with many causal factors and no simple solutions.However ，according to the Mental Health Foundation ，the opportunity to play and learn in outdoor environments has been quoted in research studies as a significantly positive influence.
   Being active will also improve children' s general health and wellbeing，as well as increasing engagement more generally by providing an enjoyable context for learning.Parents and the community ，o，will enjoy the improved beauty of the school grounds.

（1）What can children do to contribute to the community' s efforts to cut carbon footprints？

B．Attend tree-planting projects.

（2）How can a tree planting program benefit teachers？

A．By making their classes livelier.
B．By supplying them with habitats to study.
C．By providing them with real examples of biodiversity.
D．By giving them chances to communicate with students.
（3）What can we infer from Paragraph 4？

B．Children' s playtime is reducing gradually in recent years.
C．Planting trees is a perfect way to improve the environment.
D．Few people in the UK pay much attention to mental health.

2．    Have you learned a lot of English words？Well，many more are being created right now!
    Neologisms appear all the time，especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
   Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield，author of Netymology：A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World，says that in the16th Century，many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
   In the19th Century，the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
   Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever，says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution，and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
   From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games，technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"（OMG），"laughs out loud"（LOL） and"for your information"（FYI）.
   We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
   The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles，automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings，new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
   Where habit leads，language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile，as a student of the English language，you've got a lot of catching up to do.

（1）What does the underlined word"Neologisms"in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A.New words.
B.Old words.
C.Strange words.
D.Technological words.
（2）How does the author prove his opinion？

A.By experimenting.
B.By giving examples.
C.By asking and answering.
D.By telling stories.
（3）What's the author's attitude to the new words？

A.Disappointed.
B.Concerned.
C.Subjective.
D.Objective.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

A.How to Learn New Words
B.How to Invent New Words
C.New Words，Good or Bad
D.New World，New Words
