[简答题] Mountain climbers around the world dream about going up Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰). It is the highest mountain in the world. But many people who have climbed the mountain have left waste material that is harming the environment. A team of Americans is planning the largest clean-up effort ever on Mount Everest. They will make the risky trip up the mountain next month. The team of eight Americans will be guided by more than twenty Sherpas of Nepal(尼泊尔夏尔巴人). Their goal is to remove all the trash(废物，垃圾) they see. They will spend two months cleaning up the mountain by gathering oxygen bottles, fuel containers, batteries, drink cans, human waste and other kinds of trash.

The 1992 programme is going to run a bit late for the European Community’s financial services companies. The earliest that the whole -- more or less -- of the industry will be able to take advantage of its single market now looks like being mid - 1994.

[单项选择]Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody’s got to stop that boy!" she was shouting, "Rick’s troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny."
Mrs. Green, Danny’s teacher, was concerned a lot. "I didn’t know that Danny was being picked on," she nswered. "He’s never said anything about this to me!" Mrs. Green looked at Danny. "How long has this been going on" She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn’t said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.
