Miss Lisa is known in the community for smiling and waving at everyone, whether the person is a kid, a parent or someone just walking by.

Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it. 45 , if we repeat words such as Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words! Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 46 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 47 whether the command is from their own farmer. Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter（炼铜厂）. It made chemicals come out and made a beautiful forest become a wasteland. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down angrily. From then on, something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No” .
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said since there weren’t any birds or squirrels（松鼠） to spread the seeds, it would be a waste of his life to try to do it. He was told everyone knew that even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn't get his idea accepted.
Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. To bring trees back to the wasteland, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting under the cover of darkness. And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.
Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing. Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white to plant trees and grass, but he managed to keep that impossible vow（誓言）he made to himself as a child.
58 ．What did the copper smelter do to a beautiful forest near Paul’s hometown
59 ．The copper smelter officer agreed to let Paul bring trees back at first, didn't he
60 ．Why did Paul’s teachers think it would be a waste of time to try to plant trees in that area

64 ．例文
Dear president,
I am writing this letter to you very carefully. We all know that the beautiful environment and rich activities make our school life full of laughter and harvest. However, there are still some
inappropriate behaviors in schools.
For example, some students throw away rubbish everywhere. And some people destroy
public property. I think we should take some measures to stop them from doing these. We can put some signs to tell the students to take care of flowers and trees. At the same time, we can also hold some speeches to let the students know the importance of protecting the
environment.
I think the school environment will become more and more beautiful under everyone’s effort. YoursLi Hua
