　　Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
　　How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.
　　Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from homes and business and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
　　Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So, more and more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
　　People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
　　(     ) 40. What’s the text mainly about?
　　A. How to use boats on Lake Ponkapog.
　　B. Why the water is dirty in the Lake Ponkapog.
　　C. Where the clean rainwater comes from.
　　D. How to turn the dirty lake into clean one.
　　(     ) 41. In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ___________.
　　A. forests         B. people        C. fish           D. birds
　　(     ) 42. From the text, we know that chemicals from homes and business ____________
　　A. are always clean                 B. can help the animal
　　C. do good to the lake           D. get into the rainwater
　　(     ) 43. What do people need to do to save Lake Ponkapog?
　　A. Be more careful about chemicals. B. Use less water than before.
　　C. Grow fewer plants in the gardens. D. Use more motorboats on the lake.
　　C
　　When my wife and I went to live in Arab country, my friends told us  to be prepared for a culture shock（文化差異）. Later, we realized that the advice given to us by our friends was correct.
　　The culture shock started with the weather.  Here, the burning sun can cook an egg in a minute! The hot weather made us feel so tired that we were falling asleep at midday!
　　Another culture shock was the working week. We worked from Saturdays to Wednesdays, including Sundays. It was also strange to see people praying（祈禱）in a certain direction! They have strict rules for women. They do not let people see their faces in public. They do not let women drive cars, either. All dresses worn by women have to cover the body completely. They believe that women cannot be seen in public.
　　At the weekends, we went camping in the desert （沙漠） . I will never forget watching the sun setting over the desert. We also enjoyed riding on the camels.
　　In the end, we enjoyed living there, but their culture is very different from the American culture.
