As I walked home one freezing day, I saw a wallet with a red lacing on the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find something about the owner’s identity. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a letter that looked as if it had been there for many years.
The envelope was so worn that I could read only the return address on it. I opened the letter, hoping to find some clues. I found the letter was written almost 60 years ago. It was written in a beautiful handwriting with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was to a man named Michael Goldstein, saying that the writer couldn’t see him any more because her mother didn’t allow it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.
It was signed, Hannah. I felt sad because I couldn’t get useful information. After searching for the return address on the envelope, I finally found that Hannah was now in a nursing home.
I drove over to the nursing home. A nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. Knowing my purpose, the nurse led me to the third floor. In the day room, she introduced me to Hannah.
She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady. I told her about the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the envelope with that little flower, she took a dep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I had with Michael. He was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor. I loved him very much. But I was only 16then.My mother felt I was too young. If you can find him, tell him I think of him often. And… I still love him.”
I said goodbye to her and took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood by the door, the guard asked me if I got any clue from Hannah. I told him she gave me a story.
Paragraph1：
I took out the wallet, but when the guard saw it, he said, “Hey, wait a minute! That’s Mr. Goldstein’s wallet.”

When you think of the supper-healthy people, you’ll find they all have some good habits. Here are some of their habits.
Have breakfast
1.. Studies show that adults who have a healthy breakfast do better at work, and kids who eat a morning meal score higher on tests. Just don’t skip it.
2.
People need to drink enough water every day. But sugary drinks are linked to obesity and diabetes (糖尿病). So plain water is the best choice. If you aren’t a fan of plain water, add flavor with slices of orange, lemon, lime, watermelon, or cucumber.
Do some exercise
Don’t just have another cup of coffee—get up and move. Do some exercise. It’s great for your body and mind. Just 30 minutes of walking five times a week can be helpful. 3..
Learn something new
New skills help keep your brain healthy. 4.. Better yet, master a new language. The mental work can slow the signs of aging and may even delay the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Keep your balance
5.. If you’re older, it will keep you active longer and lower the chances of breaking a bone when you fall over. No matter your age, good balance means better muscle tone, a healthier heart, and greater confidence. Yoga and Tai chi are great ways to work on it, but just about anything that keeps you moving, can help.
A.Drink plenty of water
B.It’s important to have breakfast
C.No matter what you do, it benefits you
D.Drink sugary water instead of soft drink
E.Sign up for a dance class or a creative writing class
F.If you’re young, good balance will help you avoid injuries
G.If you have no time to do exercise that long, short-time exercise helps, too
The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares （公顷）.Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture.
Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain （品种）,and management were different.
To reduce production costs and increase crops yield （产量）in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology （TFT） and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland.
1.What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1?
A.It has about 30 million farmers.
B.40% of people in it are farmers.

2.Using chemical fertilizers can ________.
A.cut down on production costs
B.influence the quality of farmland
C.reduce the soil testing for farmers’ practices
D.increase the amount of farmland suitable for agriculture
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the TFT technology?
A.Supporting. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Worried.
4.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Chemical fertilizers do damage to farmland.
B.Farmers do not care about farmland protection.
C.Thailand spread TFT to manage the use of fertilizers.
D.TFT makes Thailand’s crop yields reduced.
