Columbus College, 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Kowloon City Memo To: All Staff From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee Date: May 20, 2010 A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones. Sports 1 : Basketball We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game. Sports 2: Gym We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.

All my life I had wanted a dog. I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me. I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗)，wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her! Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. It looked as if her eyes said, “Don’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that I ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me. Since that night I have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything. 25．The author got Maggie from _________.

Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time. One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing.

Scientists from China, Sweden and the United States have developed a high-producing rice that can reduce methane emissions(甲烷排放), a major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, from rice fields, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. By inserting a barley(大麦) gene into rice, Sun Chuanxin and his colleagues created SUSIBA2 Rice, which stores more starch(淀粉) in the section of the rice above ground， according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes (微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua. “It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,” Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.” Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “It’s still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.” Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2014, or 28 percent of the world’s total of 734 million. 33．SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because______. A．it tastes with a barley flavor. B．it well balances environmental protection and grains increase. C．it contains more starch than the ordinary rice. D．it gives off less methane in summer than in winter. 34．What can we learn from the text? A．Scientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas. B．Human-related methane contributes most to global warming. C．China may contribute greatly to global warming reduction. D．Rice fields will be reduced all over the world. 35．The purpose of this writing is to________. A．ask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption. B．draw people’s attention to the serious consequences of global warming. C．introduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits. D．indicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effects.
