Christmas dinner at Bruce Sweetser and Denali Delmar’s house will come in part from their backyard garden. And this retired couple will add another locally grown delicious food to their menu.
“We started harvesting roadkilled deer last year，” Bruce explained. His
fridge is filled with meat harvested from deer killed in car accidents. Bruce and his wife think it is a right road toward a greener life. Their idea might best be described as locavorism (本土膳食主义). And they believe that eating local food is healthier and better for the environment.
About two years ago, the couple ran across a car accident. The only victim was a deer. And then they found an interesting list by chance.
In Massachusetts, many deer always rush to the motorway and often cause the accidents. So some Massachusetts police departments keep lists of people interested in harvesting meat if a deer isn’t damaged too much after a runin with a car. There are eight people on the Westford Police Department’s official list. In addition, animal control officials also call people to harvest the meat.
But Massachusetts law requires that the driver of the car get first right to the deer. If the driver or passengers don’t want to get the deer, then police can give the animal to people living in Massachusetts. In other words, they can go to the list.
Bruce and his wife weren’t on the Westford list, when they came across that first deer in 2009. But now, they are, and they have harvested three deer as a result, putting the extra meat in the fridge for regular dinners and special occasions like Christmas.
34. For Christmas dinner, the couple will cook ________.
A. deer bought from the market
B. deer got from their neighbor
C. deer killed in car accidents
D. deer hunted by themselves
35. Why does the couple have such a diet?
A. To save money.
B. To seek a greener life.
C. To enjoy a special food.
D. To show their kindness.
36. When did the Sweetsers find the interesting list?
A. After they happened upon a car accident 2 years ago.
B. After they were asked to harvest the deer by chance.
C. After they heard about the roadkilled deer.
D. After they failed to save the injured deer.
37. “An interesting list” mentioned in Paragraph 3 records ________.
A. the food prepared for the Christmas Day
B. the steps how to cook the delicious food
C. the punishment for the drivers who drive too fast
D. the names of people who can harvest the deer meat

Dear editor
Nowadays, afterclass activities are becoming increasingly popular in senior high school. We also have many kinds of afterclass activities in our school, such as the English Corner, Sunshine Radio Station, Happy Reading Club and so on.
I’m interested in the English Corner, because it can not only help me make some new friends, but also improve my spoken English. In addition, I’m fond of the Sunshine Radio Station, where I can have an unforgettable experience and make good friends. I hope my dream of being a host may come true one day. These afterclass activities make me feel more confident.
If you want to take part in afterclass activities, I have some suggestions. First, you had better choose the activity which you like best. Second, try to make the best of your interest.
Yours,
Li Hua
