阅读以下英文,完成下列题。
Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China’s Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can’t see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools’ teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students’ best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students’ minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students’ in-school experiences more meaningful.
(1)A primary school in Fuzhou required the students to _____.
A.do homework only
B.finish homework at school
C.clean the playground
D.clean the school toilets
(2)Some parents think that the students should be provided with _____.

A.It’s bad for students to do chores at school.
B.Schools are more important in developing the character of students.

Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend did is wrong and talk about why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.

Every day, people throw away lots of rubbish. This causes serious environmental pollution.Where does all the rubbish go and what happens to it?
Most of rubbish goes into “landfills”. Though we do not know exactly where all these landfills are, they are close to where we live. People hardly believe that most of the cities in China are surrounded by rubbish. Putting this rubbish in landfills takes up too much space. So we have another way to get rid of rubbish—burning. But this pollutes the air around us. We find the third way—recycling.Today it has become more and more popular, because it is much better than the other two ways.
In fact, most of rubbish can be recycled and reused. For example, wooden chopsticks be reused to make paper; glass and plastic can be made into new bottles. However, the traditional ways are not enough to deal with the growing quantities of rubbish. We still have a long way to go.
The Chinese government has realized the importance of recycling rubbish. It has made some rules and laws to stop people from littering here and there. People are also encouraged to sort(分类) rubbish and throw it into different dustbins. We should always remember: sorting rubbish is a new fashion!
(1)The underlined word “landfills” in the text means“__________”.
A.垃圾 B.土地
C.土地填埋 D.垃圾填埋场

D.It produces large quantities of rubbish
