I have a neighbour. We call her ‘Happy’, I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a bad word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a large garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly when Ben doubled (把……增加一倍) the size of their garden. Because the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans(豆), we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy was picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all-day food party”. She told us to bring gloves (手套) and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to happen.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans and pumpkins, By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By 5:00 pm, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag full of the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a wonderful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying each other’s company (陪伴),
Now they have a blog about gardening. I can often find useful information from it. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

Feeling hot? So is Earth. Because of problems like climate change and bad ways of farming, much of the planet’s land is drying up. What can we do to solve this problem?
One thing the United Nations did was to create a holiday. In 1994, the UN started World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought (世界防治荒漠化和干旱日), to let more people know about desertification. It is on June 17 every year.
Desertification happens when healthy land — land full of water and nutrients (营养)— becomes desert, which is dry and unhealthy. Every year, 20,000 to 50,000 square kilometers of Earth’s land is lost to desertification. In Africa, scientists expect that two thirds of Africa’s healthy land will be lost by 2025.
Desertification sometimes happens because of climate change, as big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants and trees.
However, it also happens because people use land too much, and in bad ways, to grow food on their farms. Growing too many plants in the same soil, in too short a time, can take away the soil’s nutrients faster than the soil can make new ones. That can turn the soil into dry sand, like a desert.
The UN suggests some different actions to stop desertification. One is to teach people better ways of farming, including the use of better fertilizers (肥料). Another is reforestation which means planting more trees. One country that has done a lot of that is China. Today China has 61 million hectares of reforested land — more than anywhere else in the world.
36．What is land like if desertification happens?
A．It is full of water. B．It has more nutrients.
C．It is dry and unhealthy. D．It is suitable to live on.
37．What do scientists predict about Africa in 2025?
A．Growing plants will help Africa have more healthy land.
B．Most of Africa’s healthy land will get dry and unhealthy.
C．Africa will have about 50,000 square kilometers of healthy land.
D．Africa will have about 20,000 square kilometers of desertification.
38．Why isn’t it good to grow too many plants in the same soil?
A．Because it can change the climate faster.
B．Because it can change plants into bad soil.
C．Because it can change healthy land into forests.
D．Because it can take away the soil’s nutrients faster.
39．Which of the following does not cause desertification?
A．Reforestation. B．Using land too much.
C．Using poor fertilizers. D．Climate change.
40．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．The causes of desertification. B．The importance of reforestation.
C．The UN’s plans for improving farming. D．The UN’s suggestions for fighting desertification.

44．The old doctor always asks his students to be (耐心) with the sick people.

Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only see it once or twice a year. Now millions of Chinese leave the countryside to 51 work in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Beijing for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I 52 return home at least once a year, but I haven’t been back for three years now,” he says. Many people like Zhong Wei are interested in 53 their hometown have changed. Besides large hospitals and new roads, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help.

七、阅读填表
When I went to England, I enjoyed my stay. But I noticed so many different traditions.
For example, you usually shake hands with people when you meet them for the first time. But after that, you can just say hello. You must say Mr and Mrs when you speak to older people, but you can use first names with your friends.
One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 p.m.. You can’t have tea the meal after 4:30 p.m.. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. You can only drink tea at a tea party, not coffee or juice. And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea, then the milk—you can’t put the milk in first, then the tea.
In buses or trains, the other passengers (乘客) are very quiet, and you mustn’t talk too loudly. It’s very different from China! In some trains you can’t even use your mobile phones! And you don’t often hear people shouting in the street.
I was very lucky—I even went to a wedding. It was very different from a Chinese wedding. For example, the man and the woman can’t see each other the night before the wedding. Then the woman mustn’t arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late. And at the party after the wedding, the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder. The girl who catches them will be next to get married! It was all very strange but it was great fun!
