When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying(腐烂) and adding humus(腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil. In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years. It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation(轮作) of crops. 【1】According to the passage, the land will become poorer ________. A.if all the dead leaves are cleared away B.if the humus is increased after the harvest C.if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves D.if waste plant material lying about is buried 【2】We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered ________. A.when grasses and other plants appear again B.when the treatment is given by nature alone C.after new grasses and other plants have decayed again D.after nature has been left alone for several months 【3】A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because ________. A.the productive power of a new field isn’t higher than that of an old one B.there are few free fields left for him to do farming C.it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new field D.there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow crops 【4】It is most likely that the author will go on to ________ in the paragraph following the passage above. A.introduce other methods of planting crops B.deal with how to prevent land getting tired C.start another topic of how to make use of land D.explain what the rotation of crops is |

A MENTORING (导师制)program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21. Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said, “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences that will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook. “ “We try to create work experience opportunities which will make a really great difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习)with world - famous firms such as Honda.” “At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that - it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. “ Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October, the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's( UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛). The event was held for young people all over the world to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundreds of observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “ Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop. It was amazing. “ he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. “ The main theme of the forum was how youth can bring about change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: “ It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. “ The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting. 【1】 We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This 'self-talk' helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 【2】 Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 【3】 Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 【4】 If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 【5】 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours. A. Is it loving? B. How should I say it? C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. D. Negative words destroy all those things. E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words. F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense. G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写的词数应为150左右。 As a sixth grader, I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups. I wasn't sure where I belonged. I found it hard to fit in. Our teacher had assigned "secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid's name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days. By the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. We left cards, pens and even money. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me. On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package. I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received. To make matters worse, the powder had already been opened. I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in "How terrible," I heard myself saying "What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift? My grandmother wouldn't even want it." The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn't normal like me to say mean things like that about someone. Paragraph 1: Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间)，tears streaming down her face. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Along with my apologies, I explained the reason. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
