A large number of people want to grow their own garden, but they simply do not have the room. Do not worry. There is a solution. Consider container gardening. The great thing about container gardening is that you can use a variety of different containers. You simply have to use your imagination. You could create a beautiful garden with things such as cement blocks, hanging baskets, clay pots, or window boxes. There are so many options when it comes to container gardening; it is only limited by your imagination. Of course, you will want to take the following into consideration when you are ready to begin container gardening, in order for it to be successful. First, you should avoid any containers that have been used to store chemicals, as well as treated wood. This could lead to the sudden death of your flowers and lead to the failure of your container gardening. With any container that you choose, you need to ensure that it allows the water in it to drain when necessary. So it may be important for you to create holes in the container to help this along. You should also make sure the containers are placed on a raised surface, not upon the floor, to ensure the best possible drainage. Ensure that the containers you choose are appropriate (合适的) in size for the plants you choose. You need to prevent the roots from overgrowing the container. If you like fresh veggies, you could consider container gardening with vegetables. This requires a process that differs from that of flower gardening. Talk to an employee at a supply store in your area. They can help you choose the right containers for the vegetables you are wishing to grow. 【1】Which of the following may be improper materials for container gardening? A.Cement blocks. B.Treated wood. C.Window boxes. D.Clay pots. 【2】What does the underlined word “drain” in Paragraph 5 mean? A.To pick up. B.To give up. C.To flow away. D.To gain popularity. 【3】Compared to flower gardening, what do we know about vegetable gardening? A.It needs special containers. B.It requires more time. C.It demands more water. D.It seems much easier. 【4】Who may be interested in the text? A.People who have a big yard. B.Citizens who enjoy gardening. C.Farmers who are good at gardening. D.Children who like outdoor activities. |

Were you into skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid? We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding, as well as the first time we managed to stand up on surfboards. It was so much fun that we were hooked on extreme sports. However, not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea. Writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding, climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children. Lackman also looks for advice from medical professions.” “Kids aren’t mentally ready for these activities,” says a doctor, Vani Sabesan. “They cannot realize the risks, and their parents can’t always be trusted to stop them.” Sabesan is particularly worried about the influence of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children. “What we’re seeing is that a lot of kids think they can do what the professional athletes can do.” If someone, who was encouraged to go surfing at the age of five, was presented with a surfboard when he/she was seven, I think these worries are a little overstated(夸大的), if not misplaced. Extreme sports can be dangerous, but there’s as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates(四轮滑冰鞋鞋) as off a skateboard or surfboard. My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I’ll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me. In sports such as surfing and snowboarding, there’s a sense of adventure and courage. It is important to tell young children about it. Did I fall off my surfboard? All the time. Did I get back on? Every time. 【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To tell us what are extreme sports. C. To encourage people to play sports. D. To tell us what kind of sports the author liked. 【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part “hooked on” in Paragraph 2? A. attracted by B. shocked at C. disappointed at D. worried about 【3】What do Vani sabesan’s words mean? A. Kids who are mentally ill should not play extreme sports. B. Parents are responsible for kids’ safety in extreme sports. C. Kids are too young to realize the danger of extreme sports. D. Kids should be encouraged to do what professional athletes do. 【4】What’s the authors’ attitude to kids playing extreme sports? A. He/She is against it. B. He/She supports it. C. He/She is doubtful about it. D. He/She is unconcerned about it. |

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they really saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about what happened to the two mice. One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said, “That was why!” A clever French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time. At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer. In fact, true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is built on no relationship. 【1】Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________. A.one was biting the other B.they were not afraid of smoke C.the mouth of the hole was too small D.one was trying to help the blind one 【2】The underlined part “it made sense” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A.it was reasonable B.it was funny C.it was sweet D.it was strange 【3】It is clear that ________. A.all the mice came out of the hole easily B.the officials wanted to kill the mice with smoke C.each of the officials understood the relationship differently D.The officials knew one of the mice was blind at first sight 【4】What can we learn from the story? A.Love me, love my dog. B.There is no smoke without fire. C.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D.Love is selfless and unconditional. |
