No one ever talked to each other.One morning, an old man who was usually sad and alone got on the bus, smiled and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up and said “good morning”.Over the following weeks our new friend came dressed in an old suit and tie. He said good morning to us every day and we all gradually began to talk to each other more.One morning he had some flowers in his hand. The driver turned around and asked, “Do you have a girlfriend, John?” He said yes shyly. The other people on the bus smiled. Every morning after that, John always brought flowers. Some people even brought flowers for him. Everyone was happy and became friends. But one morning John wasnt waiting at his stop. And he wasnt there for the next few days. When the bus came to an old peoples home, one of the people on the bus asked the driver to wait while she was going in. The staff(工作人员) said that old gentleman was fine.

She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.20 . The article seems to tell us that_.Afarmland is in dangerBcountryside is turned into townsCfarmland has been soldDChinese cities are growing fast21 . From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about _.AChinas development is too slowBthe population of China is growing fastCChinese people have worse life than beforeDthe reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland22 . What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?A120 million hectares.B121.8 million hectares.C2.67 million square kilometers.DMillions of square kilometers.23 . Which statement of the following is NOT true?AYang Nans new home is in a northern area of Beijing.BThe country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.CChinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.DPollution is also an important reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland.24 . What will the government do with the problem of the drop in Chinas farmland?AGovernment needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.BGovernment will order not to build new towns any more.CGovernment will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.DGovernment will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert.Are you sorry for not travelling during the National Day ? if you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. why? because there are too many people everywhere. in many places of interest in China, its too_to do anything.it was too crowded on the great wall on October 1st, 2009. you even couldnt take photos for you or your friends. all what we could see were people. it was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the great wall. my friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the great wall. “we couldnt walk if the people in front of us didnt walk,” he said. he showed us a photo on the great wall. in the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.so some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week (黄金周) any more. but other people say no about this advice. whats your idea of it?
