Thomas
I'm not really sure what I will do in ten years. I guess that I will get a job, but I don't know what job I want to do yet. Maybe an actor or a filmmaker? But I can clearly tell you what I'll do next week — celebrate my birthday with friends.
Emma
There's one thing I really want to do and that is to travel around the world. Hopefully I will live somewhere completely different in ten years — somewhere really interesting like Australia or even Japan. I'd like to be a teacher and I'll probably teach English. Then I can go to almost any country and find a job.
Ken
When I was little, I always said I wanted to be a doctor and that hasn't changed. I will definitely (一定地) study medicine after I finish high school. I know it will be a lot of hard work, but it's my dream. So in ten years I guess I will work in a hospital as a doctor and save people's lives.
Mary
I'm not really sure about the future. I know that I'm going to go to university but I also imagine that I will get married sometime in the next ten years. I'd like to have a family but I also want to have an interesting job. I'm interested in environmental protection, so in ten years, I'll probably work as a scientist and help develop alternative energy (替代能源) or something like that.

根据材料内容，用正确的信息完成表格，每空一词。
Many large cities are not so beautiful. There is a lot of rubbish in the streets. However, some of the rubbish can be useful. If people want to solve the problem, they should do it right now. They must take action to make use of rubbish. In this way, some good things will not be thrown away as waste.
When a car gets too old, it may not run any more. But if the metal (金属) that the car was made of is still good, we can use it to make something else. When a bottle is empty, it will be thrown away. But the bottle glass can be made into sand and used to build streets. Rubbish from food can be changed into fertilizer (肥料). It is cheap and safe. Other rubbish can also be used to make buildings. It can be mixed with concrete (混凝土) to form special bricks. Now, more and more machines are designed for that.
Some day, people will watch films in a beautiful cinema which is built out of rubbish. Besides, in the future, buildings, roads, and cities may be made from rubbish. But so far, it is only a dream to build beautiful cities out of rubbish.
A dream of (1) the rubbish
(2) for making use of rubbish ◆The street is (3) of rubbish.
◆Some of the rubbish can be (4) again.
(5) of
making use of rubbish ◆The metal of old (6) can be used to make something else.
◆The bottle glass can be made into (7) and used to build streets.
◆Rubbish from (8) can be turned into fertilizer.
◆Other rubbish can be used to (9) special bricks to make buildings.
The dream of using rubbish to build beautiful cities hasn’t come (10) .

“Go Green” can mean many different things to different people. For some people, it means something very s (1). You may think about the environment. For others, it means that you should live in a way that is not h (2) to the health of people or animals. It’s not n (3) for you to change your lifestyle completely (完全地), but small changes can help make the environment cleaner and safer.
How can you “Go Green”? The following s (4) may help.

Dear students,
As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. It’s time for us to do something to protect it. But do you know how?
First, we could use public transportation, walk or ride a bike when possible. It makes less pollution in the air. Second, we should not drop litter everywhere. When we see it on the street, we should pick it up. Last but not least, we must plant more trees to improve the air quality.
If all of us try our best, I believe our environment will become better and better. Let’s take action and help build a green world!
Yours,
Li Wei
