Brandon Olsen and Tylor Fritz of Hometown Sanitation(公共卫生)left gifts for three sisters
who waved to them each Thursday after learning that one of them, 3-year-old Rose, had been
fighting cancer.
The men also gave their parents free garbage service for one year.
"When they did that, it was a few weeks before the diagnosis(诊断)when every day just felt so
impossible", said Rose's mother, Angie Evenson, of Blue Earth, Minnesota. "Nothing in reality
changes Rose's diagnosis. But what they did makes us feel we are truly no 侧 alone in this fight."With binoculars(双筒望远镜)in hand, Rose and her two sisters, Grace, 5 and Sophia, 2 sat by
the window and waved at their garbage men, Olsen and Fritz, as they drove by on their weekly route.
Olsen, 29, and Fritz, 24, told ABC News that the girl's smiling faces are what they look forward
to while working. They even left Halloween candy for the girls this year to show their appreciation.
They hope that more and more people can understand and support their work.
But weeks later, Evenson wrote Olsen and Fritz a note explaining that little Rose wouldn't be
able to wave to them for a while since she'd be undergoing chemotherapy(化疗). Rose had been
diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in September.
"As a father of three, it changed my outlook on things", Olsen said. "It opened my eyes you
don't know what someone else is going through.”
Fritz said he cried when he read the note. "I got to the chemo part and there were tears running
down my face", he recalled. "I don't have any children of my own, but I can imagine if someone very
close to me is diagnosed as cancer, I'll be heartbroken."
"Rose is being treated at Sanford Children's Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She will
miss a few more Thursdays, when she can wave to her garbage men, but her chemo sessions will be
switched to Mondays soon and she'll be back by the window early next year. I have confidence in
Rose's recovery,” her mother said.
24. How did the garbage men help Rose's family?
A. They took the sick girl to hospital regularly. B. They collected the garbage for free.
C. They looked after Rose in turn. D. They offered money to help cure Rose.
25. What can we learn about the garbage men?
A. They made the family famous. B. They encouraged the family,
C. They gave Angie Evenson a good lesson. D. They doubted about the doctor's diagnosis.
26. What do the garbage men wish for in terms of the girls' smiling faces?
A. People's appreciation for their work.
B. Good friendship with the young girls.
C. Making more efforts to do their work well.
D. The girls' family's caring more for their children.
27. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Olsen has three sons. B. Fritz has not got married.C. Fritz is faced with a serious disease. D. Evenson is optimistic about Rose's condition.

In 1953, a mountain climber reported seeing a bar-headed goose soar over the peak of Mount
Everest(珠穆朗玛). It was thought impossible. Now, researchers who raised 19 of the geese-named
for the black stripes on the backs of their heads-have shown the birds really fly so high.
The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks
full of sensors that recorded their heart rate, blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic
rate-how many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模拟)low-, medium-, and
high-altitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each
goose as it flew in the tunnel.
Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And
researchers knew that bar-headed geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more
deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds.
The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its
lowest-like the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level the geese's heart rate and
frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the
birds managed to cool down their blood the measured blood temperature dropped-so it could take in
more oxygen, the researchers report today in elife. This cooling likely helps compensate for the very
thin air, the team says.
Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutes-or less-when
wearing their backpacks and flying at "high" altitudes. So it's not clear whether these adaptations
alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. But those
few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.
28. Why did the researchers raise 19 bar-headed geese and train them?
A. To test the flying height and speed of them.
B. To confirm they could fly over Mount Everest.
C. To observe them flying through the wind tunnel.
D. To see how many calories they burned per hour.
29. What can we learn from the wind tunnel experinent?
A. It was carried out at very high altitude.B. The geese managed to breathe less when their blood decreased.
C. The goose could live through the lowest concentration of oxygen.
D. It shows the geese could fly at high altitude for long.
30. What still puzzles scientists about the goose?
A. Whether they have super hearts and lungs.
B. Whether they have muscles pumped more oxygen to.
C. Whether they are willing to wear backpacks and face masks.
D. Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.
31. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A science fiction. B. A climbing guide. C. A travel brochure. D. A science report.
D
Water is a necessity of life Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much
rain－especially in cities－can lead to flooding, That can cause waste water systems to overflow and
send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United
States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.
A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden
on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater
and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the
university. He says he is excited about the project because “it meant doing something more than just
dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat
roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture.”
Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden.
The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.
In cities, "you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just(unused)
space,” says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project
is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at
plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green
spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments,” Arlotta said. "Within each of those growing
systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best.”
Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised
by the garden's output. "My biggest surprise was that we producied 4,250 pounds of produce the first
year and was able to spread that to people in need.” She also likes being able to show people who
live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what－and how－food can be grown on a rooftop.
"This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute
through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle.”
32. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?
A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.
B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.
C. They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.
D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.
B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.
C. Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.
D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.
34. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?
A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Rainwater-Necessity for Plant Life B. Green Roofs-The Future of Urban Agriculture
C. The United States' Agriculture Program D. Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise

Let's face it, most of us are really busy. So busy that we don't make time for creativity. Even
those who work in creative fields are probably at a point where true creativity is being pushed
behind more pressing tasks. This doesn't necessarily have to be so. 36
Schedule It
Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself!
37 All you really need is about 15 minutes a day and that can really start to swing the pendulum (钟摆) in the other direction. I find that 15 minutes in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee is an ideal
time for some creative work. You can plan a day to go out and explore something new to get
inspired, whatever you feel is going to fuel your creative energy. Schedule these into your month, as
well.
Shift Your Mindset
Like I mentioned, sometimes it has to start with your own belief. 38 ,then it's not going to
happen. I found that once I redesigned my business to free up more time for me, I was able to really
let go of guilt and realize that creativity is self-care. Even if it's not going to better your career, it's
likely going to "better" you, and that makes it all worthwhile.
Make Space
39 , but how about physical space? Is there a place in your home that you can devote to
your creativity? Maybe it's in your office. You can have a spot with your art utensils, musical
instruments, your favorite books. Or maybe it's in your back 办 rd and you have a spot where you
drink tea and practice writing. Sometimes it may be a corner of pillows in your bedroom that you
snuggle in and listen to music. Having a devoted spot helps to foster it as a daily practice that you
look forward to.
40
Just like all your good habits, you have to make them routine. Once you get used to carving out
time and space for your creativity, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
A. Be Curious
B. Make It Routine
C. It can be such a waste of time
D. But seriously, this really helps
E. We've talked about mental space
F. If you're not valuing your creative time
G. Here are some easy tips for making it a priority
