Many say their most painful moments are saying goodbye to those they love. After watching Cheryl, my cousin, watch her mother suffer for six months before dying. I think the most painful moments can be in watching to say goodbye.

Cheryl made the two-hour trip over and over to be with her mother. They spent long afternoons holding hands and sharing memories.

Each time she kissed her mother before leaving, her mother would feel sad and say, “I’m sorry you drove so far and sat for so long, and I didn’t stay up long to talk with you.”

Cheryl would tell her not to worry. It didn’t matter. But still her mother felt she had let her down and said sorry at each goodbye.

“Mom, do you remember when I made the high school basketball team?”

Cheryl’s mother nodded.

“You’d drive so far and sit for so long, and I never even left the bench to play. You waited for me after every game and each time I felt bad and said sorry to you for wasting your time.” Cheryl gently took her mother’s hand.

“Do you remember what you’d say to me?”

“I would say I didn’t come to see you play. I came to see you.”

“And you meant those words, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I really did.”

“Well, now I say the same words to you. I didn’t come to see you talk. I came to see you.”

Her mother understood and smiled as she fell asleep.

Their afternoons together passed quietly into days, weeks and months. To the last day they cared each other in silence, love given and received just by seeing each other.

When we think of food farming we usually think of green fields in the country, outside the city. Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruit vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”

Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food, right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big boxes-there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”

The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruit and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere and that saves energy. It’s better for the envi ronment.”

The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam. “I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”

22. Green Garden’s rooftop farm is ________.

A. the only one in the world

B. in the middle of a small town

C. one of many in cities around the world

D. near the countryside of a city

23. The fruit and vegetables Sam grows are ________.

A. used in a restaurant in the same building

B. sold to restaurant to cook dishes for people

C. taken to a restaurant in another building

D. given to people who work in the building

24. Sam thinks the food from the rooftop is better than that bought from other places because ________.

A. it is much cheaper and fresher

B. it tastes better and is better for the environment

C. it uses space which was being wasted

D. it can’t be bought in the local stores

25. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A. The farm is on the top of a teaching building, 50 meters above the ground.

B. The plants are watered by collected rainwater when necessary.

C. You can find more rooftop farms in the country than in the city.

D. When they pick the fruit and vegetables, they must use them at once.

26. What is the main purpose of the passage?

You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal’s body are different from yours? An animal’s muscles are made to do the things that are the most important for its life. Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals.

Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.

Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lion’s do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake’s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.

The elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientist believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.

The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.

27. The underlined word “hunters” in Paragraph 2 means persons or animals that ________.

A. keep animals for fun

B. raise animals for meat

C. catch animals for food

D. run after animals for exercise

28. All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT ________.

A. An elephant’s nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its roots.

B. The strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their prey.

C. Snakes can’t move themselves forward without their muscles.

D. Muscles in an animal’s body are not the same as a human’s

29. According to the passage, what makes the muscles in your body different from an animal’s?

A. The exercise

B. Your parents

C. The environment

D. Your needs.

30. Which of the following shows structure(结构) of the passage? (P=Paragraph)

A. B.

C. D.

So, You Want to Be a Writer?

What are some tips on becoming a writer?

you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in café or waiting for the bus, something might spark and idea for a character or scene in a story.

33.________

Nearly all writers agree that writers must write. It doesn’t matter if you feel like you have nothing to say; the important thing is that you write every single day. Sometimes, you need to give yourself permission to write things which won’t be your best work.

34.________

Do you have any friends who enjoy writing? Think about starting a writing group with other people who have similar interests. It helps to have the support of other writers. You will also receive valuable feedback, or suggestions, about how to make you work better.

35.________

If you decide that you would like to send your work for publication, make sure to do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old ones. Does it seem like your writing fits in with the other stories or articles? That’s the homework for you after writing.
