5.My husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard.We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.
It's true that if you are starting from fresh,it will cost a little bit of money to get started.However,once everything is set up,the cost is very small and the rewards are huge.The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year.We do a lot of juicing,so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.
There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables.Vegetables out of your vegetable garden don't get any fresher,tastier or more satisfying.The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.
Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one.We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥).The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems.No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds.Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干預) or having plants sown in rows,so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.
By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules.What can I say?We're such rebels.(叛逆者)

28.What does the author think about people growing their own vegetables?A
A.It is a rewarding activity.
B.It is costly in the beginning.
C.People should devote many efforts.
D.People should share their tips.
29.What does the underlined word"emulate"in paragraph 4mean?B
A.Create.B.Imitate(模仿).C.Protect        D.Improve.
30.Why does the author call her and her husband"rebels"?A
A.They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.
B.They don't buy vegetables from the market.
C.They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.
D.They don't grow ordinary vegetables.
31.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?(P:Paragraph)D

4.Our planet Earth is comparatively small,with only about 24,902miles around the equator (赤道).Its surface area may seem largest at 196,935,000sq.miles,but of this,70% is covered by sea.The actual land surface covers some 57,500,000sq.miles-29% of the total surface area.
Once again,this seems vast until we take into account the largely uninhabited(未居住的)regions such as the huge wastes of the Arctic and Antarctic,the deserts and wetlands.These regions are not always totally uninhabited,but they can usually support only very small populations.
At present there is still enough space on Earth for humans and wildlife,but what of the future?Our world cannot grow any larger,yet the human population keeps growing every year!As of July 2008,there were almost 6.7billion people on the planet,and current estimates (估計) suggest that the population could be as high as 9.1billion by as soon as 2050.
While the birthrate is slowing a little in parts of the Northern Hemisphere(半球),in many other parts of the world,including developing countries,populations continue to grow.This population explosion is responsible for most world environmental problems today; so whether our main concern is to breathe cleaner air,to drink purer water,to eliminate (消除) pollution,to protect wildlife and countryside,to produce more food to eat or to reach a higher standard of living generally,our chances of achieving any of these things become faint as the population increases sharply.The Earth's resources are vast but limited.We have a tendency to look to the short-term,rather than seeing the bigger picture of the future.
This is why it is so important that young people learn about looking after the planet-so that future generations of adults act responsibly with regard to(關于) the environment and create a future that is continuable,both for humans and all the other species with which we share our world.
29.What does the author worry aboutA
A.Whether there is enough space for creatures in the future.
B.The Earth is turning smaller and smaller.
C.How to find ways to live in uninhabited regions.
D.What people will live on in the future.
30.According to the text,we can infer thatA.
A.the population will increase by 0.6billion every ten years
B.the birthrate around the equator is a little low
C.population explosion is caused by environmental problems
D.more population brings more resources
31.What does the underlined word"faint"meanC
A.Important.
B.Necessary.
C.Slight.
D.Interesting.
32.Which of the following ideas is suggested by the authorB
A.Taking strong measures to control the birthrate.
B.Calling on the young to care for the planet.
C.Saving the Earth's natural resources.
D.Protecting the endangered species.

One day,my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪).My garbage cans were near their lawn.For some strange reason,I found the wife looking through my garbage cans.I felt angry but since they were from a different culture,I thought that maybe it was"normal"from their ideas.
That afternoon,the couple knocked on my front door.When I opened,they gave me a plastic bag.Inside were my old daily bills,credit cards and bank statements,and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent.They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left.I was very thankful.They were not nosy neighbors.They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did.

Do you like spicy food?

What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili-red pepper-in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.

Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.

‘We have always assumed that liking drives intake-we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits with intake of chili peppers,’ said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.

But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.

In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.

By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.

Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained.

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “l(fā)oathe” in the second paragraph?

A. dislike B. fear

C. put up with D. adapt to

2.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?

A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities

B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females

C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food

D. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling

3.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?

A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitive

B. Because they love the burning sensation

C. Because they want to challenge themselves

D. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality

B. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personality

C. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality

D. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality
