Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes(哈密瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve（高压锅上的阀门）sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look
that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.
24. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?
A. To collect manure for his crops.
B. To earn some money for the family.
C. To get rid of the terrible smell.
D. To set a good example to us.
25. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?
A. It is popular among the neighbors.
B. It tastes quite delicious.
C. It looks very wonderful.
D. It contains honey and vegetables.
26. What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?
A. To attract B. To air
C. To upset D. To shut
27. What can we learn about Dad from the text?
A. He is an experienced cook.
B. He is a troublesome father.
C. He suffers a lot from his disability.
D. He has a positive attitude to life.
C
Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, but according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as＄172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ＄3000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ＄48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
28. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?
A. ＄30,000. B. ＄202,000.
C. ＄172,000. D. ＄142,000.
29. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .
A. heavy workload B. low pay for work
C. emotional demand D. lack of training
30. What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
B. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.
C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
31. What can we conclude from the study?
A. Mothers’ labor is of a higher value than it is realized.
B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.
D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.
D
Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins(知更鸟) are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night - as well as during the day. British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behavior and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying “You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?” During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California
Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalizing on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.
32. According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much?
A. The breeding season. B. The dangerous environment.
C. The light in modern D. The noise from heavy machinery.
33. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?
A. The environment might be polluted.
B. The industry cost might be increased.
C. The birds' health might be damaged.
D. The people's hearing might be affected.
34. What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Inactive at night. B. Active at night.
C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day.
35. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?
A. Because there are more places to take shelter.
B. Because there is more food to eat.
C. Because there is less light pollution
D. Because there are fewer dangers.

I was asked to be a student teacher last week. My China teacher required me to give a lesson in my class. It was a first time that I had stood before class. I was thankful for her, because I had dreamed to be a teacher all the time. Considered that the class wouldn’t listen to me, I felt so nervous that I could fall asleep the night before. On the morning to give the lesson, I found it heavy to move my foot. At first, I can hardly speak fluently. Otherwise, I found myself much more relaxed gradually,
because my classmates looked at me encouragingly. Finally, I finished the lesson smooth. I will remember my this experience forever.
