One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite red tomatoes.As I grew into a teenager, I didnt get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer, he still took care of his garden.But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded (侵入) his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. For the first few years after he died, I couldnt even bear to look at anyones garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket (桶). Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.21. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child? A. He loved being in the garden with his father. B. He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father. C. The garden was full of his favorite food. D. The garden was just freshly tilled.22. When all the kids started their own families, the authors father _. A. stopped his gardeningB. turned to other hobbies C. focused on planting tomatoesD. devoted more to gardening 23. What happened to the garden when the authors father was seriously ill? A. The garden was almost deserted.B. There was a great harvest. C. No plant grew in the garden at all.D. The authors son took charge of the garden.24. Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes? A. His son liked the fields of tomatoes.B. He wanted to honor his father. C. He only knew how to grow tomatoes. D. He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.BWASHINGTON Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer. It is not easy, even desperate. “We have many children left to place 40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called LEC.When foreign exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were acmodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who e from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes. School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is being less exotic(有异国情调的). In search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired. “We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide. For elderly people, exchange students “keep us youngthey really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark. 25. According to the text, why was it easier to find host families?AAmerican school systems were better than now. BThe government was happy because it could gain tax. CMore mothers stayed home to look after children. DForeign students paid hosting families a lot of money.26. Viekie Weiner is the person who _.A. es from Denmark B. works for ASSEC.is 25 years old D. hosts foreign students.27. To deal with the problem in recent years, exchange programmes have to _.Aextend the range of host families Blimit the number of the exchange students Cborrow much money to pay for the costs Dmake hosting foreign students more exotic 28. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Exchange Students Keep Old People Young.B. Different Ideas of Hosting Students. C. Foreign-exchange Program Going on. D. U.S. Struggle to Find Host Families.CPeople arent walking any more if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter untilthe other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasnt in any hurry, either, I had merely bee one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis. It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was raised in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such exercises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal (理想的) form of exercise the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn thetrees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people dont dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the minds best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.29. What was life like when the author was young?A. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.B. people often walked 25 miles a day.C. People usually went around on foot.D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.30. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _.A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature B. walking in nature helps enrich ones mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease31. What is pared to the underlined “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A.A queue of cars. B. A ray of traffic light.C. A flash of lightning. D. A stream of people.32. What is the authors intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To remend people to give up driving.C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.DEvery year, the fascinating tourist destinations below are attracting travelers from home and abroad to St. Louis, which, founded in 1764 by French traders, today is the fifteenth largesturban area in the United States.American Kennel Club Museum of the DogDog lovers who visit St. Louis wont want to missthis 14,000-square-foot museum.Inside are over 500 paintings, prints, watercolors, and a variety of other dog art objects.The Museum is open year round, Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday 1 PM to 5 PM.
