I was sitting by the window,
Lightly kissing my sleeping cat,
The half-finished coffee on the table,
The blowing fan on the wall,
The sweet music on the radio.
A little girl was riding a yellow bike,
Slowly passing by my window,
The light wind on her face,
The flying hair behind her ears,
The quiet lazy summer afternoon.

Gree
n Plan in Wonder City
Make new out of the old!
Since 1996, Wonder City has started a green plan and has been
greatly successful in many ways. Places that were not used
anymore, like railways, factories, and open lands, have been
changed and brought to new life. They have now become parks,
restaurants, museums, or shopping centers. They look fresh and
clean with trees, flowers, and pieces of art. Olde River, for
example, is now a pink belt in the spring with born-to-smiles on
both of its sides. They are beautiful and smell great. Many
people take a walk or go bicycling along the banks of the river.
Because of this plan, the city has become cleaner and younger.
Every year in May, a big green festival is celebrated in Wonder
City. People from other cities go to the festival to learn how to
make their own cities more beautiful.
（Ｃ）43. What is the reading about?
(A)An art festival.
(B)A vacation plan.
(C)The change of a city.
(D)The history of a river.
（Ｂ）44. Which is NOT part of the plan?
(A)Growing trees.
(B)Building hotels.
(C)Making use of art.
(D)Using closed factories.
（Ｃ）45. What is a born-to-smile?
(A)A belt.
(B)A color.
(C)A flower.
(D)A piece of art.
