There is a wonderful story about a young girl who had no family and no one to love her.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way. 1.What is Cleveland? A. An island. B. A country. C. A city in America. D. A village in England. 2.What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage? A. They give gifts. B. They give money. C.

Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people. So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many methods — such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的） varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals. Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims （宣称） made for organic farming is always true”. However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on. 1.The first paragraph mainly tells us _____. A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 years B. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farming C. organic farming is far from being as popular as expected D. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world 2. The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “________”. A. argue for B. care for C. struggle for D. pay for 3. What can we know about organic farming? A. It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers. B. It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers. C. It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing. D. It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides. 4.According to the third paragraph, _____. A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environment B. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science C. organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committee D. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming 5.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? A. The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer. B. Organic farming is popular with young people. C. Farmers make use of many different kinds of methods to improve the organic sales system. D. Ninety-three percent of British shoppers don’t buy organic products.

When I was in high school, most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I saw a second-hand bicycle, that was only one hundred yuan. I asked my father the money. But he said he could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspapers after the school. My father was pleased if I showed him the money a month after. He gives me the other fifty. You can imagine how much happy I was when I rode to school on my own bicycle.
