Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result. Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West. So these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kids”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kids” means to grow up in such a country, you know you are different and you cant make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are not here.1.According to the passage, parents in _ dont send their kids abroad.A. China    B. Japan    C. Korea    D. America2.“Satellite kids” refer to the Asian kids _.A. without parents    B. living abroad aloneC. with university education    D. not speaking English3.Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents_.A. want to leave their own country    B. want them to go to universityC. return to their countries to work    D. want them to be depend on themselves4.The following problems of “satellites kids” are right except _  _.A. They grow up lonely.    B. The dont often go to school.C. They can make friends easily.    D. Their parents can not look after them.【答案】DBBC三、 阅读填空。 Eco-friendly(环保) rain gardens have beautiful flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community. They are also healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden, It is just far more eco-friendly. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Why Eco-friendly Rain Gardens Are Recommended Rain gardens smartly used rain and storm water by temporarily(暂时) holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(渗透) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. In this way, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing(流) directly into nearby streams and going unused, The water will soak. Slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes(蚊子) to breed(繁殖). This is a simple, attractive, and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water. What's more, planting a rain garden helps cut down on pollution and make the environment better. The gardens dont use expensive machinery and chemicals. They remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and reduce the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.How You Build Your Own Rain Gardens Native(本地的) plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate(气候), soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden right after planting and once a week. Dont water it if you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. You neednt take much care of it once the plants have a necessary root system(根系统).Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks. However, you can do your own part. You don't need to be an environmental engineer to create a rain garden. Just start by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.Eco-friendly Rain GardensDefinition(定义) Eco-friendly rain gardens are far more eco-friendly gardens 1 under the ground. 2 of rain gardens Rain gardens use rain in 3 ways.
