Audiences who are present at music festivals often do not think about the work behind the scenes. There are many factors （因素）when organizers want to create a successful festival of any type. They have to make efforts to organize the music festival. They must spend a large amount of money bringing in popular artists, and the event must have excellent advertising. Once a site is chosen, it is often a space that is rented. Organizers must also take parking and crowd control into consideration when large audiences are expected to attend. As a whole, a successful music festival combines all the necessary parts into a series of events that attract the audience. If any one part of the festival brings in a large number of complaints, it is not successful and the number of audiences will be down both that year and the following year. This is one of the reasons why organizers work hard to make sure every part of a festival functions as flawlessly as possible. They want people to take away great memories so they will attend the festival the next year and continue to do so. Organizers have long recognized this fact and take the time to find out what their audiences want. They recognize changes in audience moods and values. This allows their festivals to continue growing by satisfying their specific audiences. The growth of many music festivals has caused organizers to seek out more modern musicians. Organizers don’t choose musicians that only perform for small crowds. Musicians, such as electric violinists or saxophone players, are more able to handle larger crowds who require amplified （放大的）music. Their ability to deal with technical aspects of greater sound production makes them popular with organizers. These musicians are also popular with large crowds who appreciate their ability to produce beautiful sound in the musical genre （流派）of the festival. 【1】What does a successful music festival need? A.Control of the number of audiences. B.Money to buy a site. C.Experienced audiences. D.A great deal of organizers’ effort. 【2】What does the underlined word "flawlessly" in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Perfect. B.Crazy. C.Quick. D.Limitless. 【3】What kind of musicians will be popular with the organizer of a music festival? A.Those who are members of a band. B.Those who like performing for small crowds. C.Those who can play the latest popular music. D.Those who have the ability to handle larger crowds. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.The Origin of Music Festivals B.The History of Music Festivals C.The Organizers of Successful Music Festivals D.The Factors in Successful Music Festivals |

The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares （公顷）.Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture. Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain （品种）,and management were different. To reduce production costs and increase crops yield （产量）in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology （TFT） and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland. 【1】What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1? A.It has about 30 million farmers. B.40% of people in it are farmers.

When you think of the supper-healthy people, you’ll find they all have some good habits. Here are some of their habits. Have breakfast 【1】. Studies show that adults who have a healthy breakfast do better at work, and kids who eat a morning meal score higher on tests. Just don’t skip it. 【2】 People need to drink enough water every day. But sugary drinks are linked to obesity and diabetes (糖尿病). So plain water is the best choice. If you aren’t a fan of plain water, add flavor with slices of orange, lemon, lime, watermelon, or cucumber. Do some exercise Don’t just have another cup of coffee—get up and move. Do some exercise.
