Eco City Farms in Edmonston,Maryland,is located near shopping centers,car repair shops and homes.The neighborhood is a working-class community.People do not have very much money,and they have limited access to fresh food in markets.
Over the past two years,the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark.She schools her four children at home.On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson.Alston Clark thinks his experience very valuable.”I like coming out here.” he says,”You know,you connect with the earth,where your food comes from.You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret Morgan-Hubbard started Eco City Farms.She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives.”Growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in the city is helpful to strengthen the relationship in that community and brings people together, “she says. “Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have a sustainable community. “From the Eco City Farms people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees,but improving the soil with compost(堆肥)made from food waste.Sixteen wooden bins are filled with worms.Their job is to eat the food waste and help make it into compost.
Eco City Farms is an experimental operation.The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks but from the sun with solar panels.In winter,the greenhouses are heated using a geothermal(地热的)system.
Vegetables can be grown all year.So once a week,all winter long,neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bicycle to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.

27、If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 【1】
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 【2】 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 【3】 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
【4】 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
【5】 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

28、 “I will think of it.”It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them; and yet what strong power they have!
Sir Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening, when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think, and, in trying to find out why the apple fell, discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid ( 盖子) of the tea kettle as it moved up and down. He began to think,and he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses.
James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd (羊倌) boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he was filled with wonder.“Why should I not make a watch?”he thought. But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring (钟表等的主发条)? He soon found how to get them: he made the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits (肖像) with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lectures. His motto was, “I will think of it.” and he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t feel discouraged or ask someone to help you before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose

29、 Jack Rummler was in the hospital, but he kept emailing his journalism teacher and classmates at Boone High School in the US. He wanted to stay on top of his newspaper work and didn’t want anyone else to be stuck with the tasks he’d taken on.
“He would be in the hospital writing stories,” said Renee Burke, his teacher at the time. “He wouldn’t stop worrying about us.”
Rummler, 18, said he did this because he enjoyed high school journalism so much. “Every little aspect of it.”
He is a compassionate (有同情心的) student, Burke said, who always seems to be thinking about others, even when he faces his own challenges.
Born with spina bifida (脊柱分裂), he walks with a limp (走路一瘸一拐) and has had about 12 surgeries. Two years ago, medical problems kept him out of school for weeks.
Yet, he never wanted to be treated differently, Burke said, nor did he avoid doing anything that might be physically challenging for him, such as filming football games. During his high school life, he worked his way up from staff member to editor-in-chief of the Boone paper.
And last month, he won the “student journalist of the year” award from the Florida Scholastic Press Association.
The contest required student journalists to put together examples of their work and their ability to be “backpack journalists” who could take on many types of assignments. Rummler’s examples included stories and opinion pieces, a graphic he’d designed about school construction, and a TV commercial (广告) for the paper’s online site.
“I think one of the things that journalism taught me is to always be aware of what’s going on in the world,” he said.
His school paper publishes in print four times a year, as well as online. The last issue he worked on was about graduation, showcasing the accomplishments of top students and athletes, among other soon-to-be graduates.
In August, Rummler will start at the University of Florida, where he plans to study environmental sustainability and communications.
“Whatever he does, he’s going to be great at it,” said Bridgette Norris, the current journalism teacher at Boone, who taught him this past school year.
【1】Which of the following words best describe Rummler?
A.Hardworking and modest. B.Optimistic and creative.
C.Humorous and talented. D.Strong-minded and considerate.
【2】What can we learn about Rummler?
A.He has had more than 20 surgeries.
B.He is willing to accept difficult tasks.
C.He has never missed school because of his disease.
D.He will soon be the editor-in-chief of the Boone newspaper.
【3】What won Rummler the “student journalist of the year” award?
A.His willingness to accept challenges.
B.His contribution to his high school paper.
C.His ability to create a variety of news works.
D.His inspiring reports about graduation.
【4】How does Norris feel about Rummler’s life in college?
A.Confident. B.Doubtful.
C.Surprised. D.Worried.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal(苦难考验). Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.
The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy(说教的). But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.
While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.
“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
