My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden. One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them! I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a little bit guilty. Coming home, my mother saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and I admitted, “Dad wanted a salad, but the garden was a disaster. I didn’t want to disappoint him, so I went to the store.” She laughed but promised to help me in the garden and weeks later I was finally able to pick some. I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a hint of a smile. “Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.” Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father’s love of gardening. 【1】Why did Christine originally promise she would do the gardening? A.She was asked by her father to do it. B.She was interested in growing vegetables. C.She knew it was important to her father. D.She wanted to improve her gardening skills. 【2】Which of the following was a problem in the garden? A.Insects destroyed the lettuce and carrots. B.Animals often dug holes in the garden. C.The plants were given too much water. D.The vegetables were marked incorrectly. 【3】Why could Christine secretly make the salad from store-bought vegetables? A.Her mother helped her to buy the vegetables. B.Her mother regularly helped her to make a spray. C.Her father couldn’t see the garden’s progress. D.Her father went on a business trip at that time. 【4】What did Christine learn through her experience of gardening? A.Always get ready for a rainy day. B.Don’t be disappointed by bugs. C.Working alone produces results. D.Hard work can often be rewarding. |

It's the last dream for many to move to a big city and make a shining new life. But as we all know, metropolitan living comes at a cost, especially if you pick Hong Kong, Paris or London, which are the world's most expensive cities according to a new research. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)－which rates 133 global cities, and compares the price of a basket of 138 everyday items in each－has ranked them as joint top of the table. The European cities have passed Singapore and Osaka, which tied with Hong Kong in the previous Worldwide Cost of Living Survey, carried out in March. The changes are especially marked this time around, with the report doubling as an assessment of the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on prices around the world. Singapore and Osaka are now down to fourth and fifth respective, with Tel Aviv tying with Osaka in fifth place. An exodus of foreign workers during the pandemic is behind Singapore's drop, which saw its population fall for the first time in 17 years, according to the EIU. The top 10 is completed by Geneva, New York City, Copenhagen and Los Angeles. The biggest rise is Tehran, which has climbed up the ladder from 106th to 79th, due to US sanctions impacting supplies. Reykjavik, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo show the biggest price drops. The EU owes the Brazilian cities' rankings to “weak currency and rising poverty levels”. Brazil, of course, has suffered hugely during the pandemic. “The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the US dollar to weaken while western European and north Asian currencies have strengthened against it, which in turn has shifted prices for goods and services " said Upasana Dutt, head of worldwide cost of living at the EIU. “The pandemic has changed consumer behaviour, as lockdowns such as working from home have increased the prices of consumer electronics and at-home-meals have taken the place of restaurant dining for middle-class families ." As for the future, things don't look wonderful. The EIU predicts that the trends will continue, with people cautious about spending and sure to struggle to make ends meet during 2021. 【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A.Living in Hong Kong means living a happy life. B.The pandemic forces people to work at the office and eat meals at home. C.People in Brazilian cities enjoy rising living standards because of the biggest price drop. D.Singapore and Osaka used to tie with Hong Kong in the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey. 【2】The underlined word “exodus” is close in meaning to________. A.dramatic increase B.sudden arrival C.leave in mass D.journey out of Egypt. 【3】What is the basic cause of the changes, according to the research? A.Population fall. B.The weaken US dollar. C.Transformed consumer behavior. D.Impact of the pandemic. 【4】What is the EIU’s attitude towards the future? A.Optimistic. B.Pessimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Positive. |
