Ready to jump into gardening? It can be a little frightening at first, but gardening is an extremely rewarding hobby to get into. On this page, we'll introduce the basics of vegetable gardening and planning: how to pick the right site for your garden, how to create the right size garden, and how to select which vegetables to grow.

PICK THE RIGHT LOCATION

Picking a good location for your garden is absolutely key. Here are a few tips for beginners to choose a good site: First, plant in a sunny location, because most vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Secondly, plant in a place without too much water. Thirdly, find an environment that is not likely to change. Avoid places that receive strong winds, floods or too much foot traffic.

CHOOSING A SMALL PIECE OF LAND

Remember: It's better to be proud of a small garden than be frustrated by a big one! One of the

most common errors that beginners make is planting too much or too soon. Plan your garden with care. Start small, and only grow what you know you'll eat.

CHOOSING VEGETABLES

Many vegetables are common, productive plants that are relatively easy to grow. It would be wise to contact your state's Cooperative Extension Service (CES) to find out what plants grow best in your area. Choose what you (and your family) like to eat. If no one likes Brussels sprouts, don't plant them! Be aware of how many vegetables your family will eat. Be careful not to overplant.

21. Which is the right place for a vegetable garden?

A. A small piece of sunny land.

B. A lower place near a water pool.

C. A location with strong winds.

D. A place full of traffic.

22. How can you choose the best plants to grow according to the text?

A. By going online for information.

B. By getting advice from CES.

C. By surveying your neighbours.

D. By experimenting with various vegetables.

23. Who might be the intended readers of the text?

A. Expert gardeners. B. Farmers.

C. Gardening beginners. D. Housewives.

Donzella Washington, 80, graduated from Alabama A&M University on Dec.6 with a bachelor's degree in social work. She made history as the oldest graduate of Alabama A&M in their 144-year history.

In 2010, her mother died, followed by her sister and husband's death, which all happened in three years. Washington said that her motivation (动力)behind going back to school was her husband, Jeff； who was one of her biggest supporters.

“My father supported everything she did, especially returning to school," her daughter, Kimberly Washington, said. “Although my father did not have a traditional college education, he knew the value of gaining one.”

Before moving to Alabama, with her daughter in 2012, Washington and her husband lived on a farm in California, where they fostered (收养)about 30 children - including a group of six siblings in the 1970's so that they could stay together.

“I have seen her work tirelessly to achieve this dream and to finally be there to see her was a very proud moment. The most challenging part has been comforting her when she was missing my father most... those moments when she cries and all I can do is hold her and love on her. Kimberly continued.

Another one of the challenges Washington overcame was a stuttering （结巴）problem growing up. So she began taking speech classes. Then, years later, she picked up social work and business classes one — by — one at Lawson State Community College before transferring to Alabama A&M University.

Now, Washington said she's not slowing down any time soon. She said that she's even considering going back to school to get her master's degree. In the meantime, she hopes to provide volunteer service wherever necessary.

24. Why did Donzella Washington go back to school?

A. To make a history.

B. To find a better job.

C. To set an example to her daughter.

D. To meet her husband's wish.

25. What difficulty did Donzella Washington have to overcome?

A. The sadness over losing her loved ones.

B. Her weakened memory.

C. Challenge of taking speech classes.

D. Slowing down in walking.

26. Which words can best describe Donzella Washington?

A. Determined and hardworking. B. Easy-going and sharp.

C. Far-seeing and odd. D. Warm-hearted and polite.

27. Which may be the best title for the text?

A. Every road leads to Rome.

B. It's never too late to achieve dreams.

C. Doing is better than saying.

D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

C

People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. Although it might seem like a good time, the result is opposite, according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University.

For the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. Halfway though the task, the students were divided into three groups. One group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. The second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. The last group didn't take any break at all.

Surprisingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.

Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break - but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction （分心）that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.

“Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates （激起）thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, and more, in ways that are different than how we use other screens like computers, and laptops,"  Kurtzberg said.

This is echoed by a recent study from the US University of Chicago. It found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity （认知能力）.

28. What can we learn from the study?

A. The participants were divided into groups at the beginning.

B. The last group had the hardest time solving the word puzzles.

C. Computers and laptops cause more distraction.

D. Cellphones may make people less focused on work.

29. What does the underlined word “echoed” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Agreed. B. Remembered. C. Overcome. D. Complained.

30. What suggestion will the author give in the following paragraph ?

A. Try putting your smartphone away during your next break.

B. Using computers to shop online rather than cellphones.

C. Stop checking messages and connecting with people by cellphone.

D. Turning off your cellphone during work time.

31. What's the text mainly about?

A. Ways to relax for students.

B. The result from a word- puzzle game.

C. A study on using smart-phones to relax.

D. Effects brought by the smart-phone.

Singapore's tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.

A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.

On Wednesday, the United Nations, cultural agency, UNESCO, added the city's "hawker culture," to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.

“These centers serve as 'community dining rooms, where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,“ UNESCO said.

In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.

But, now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out.

32. What do we know about hawkers from paragraph 2?

A. They sell goods in the open-air area.

B. They are famous chefs.

C. They are Singapore natives.

D. They are popular all over the world.

33. Why is hawker culture added to UNESCO's list?

A. For the efforts Singapore has made.

B. For its importance in showing Singapore's culture.

C. For the report Singapore provided.

D. For the recommendation by UNESCO.

34. Why is the film Crazy Rich Asians mentioned?

A. To advertise the film.

B. To introduce the stars.

C. To show the popularity of hawker centers.

D. To help the sellers receive Michelin stars.

35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The difficulties hawker culture are facing.

B. The average age of hawkers.

C. The effect caused by COVID-19.

D. The future of the hawker culture.

Small talk may seem like a waste of time. 37 "Big relationships are built on small talk,“ Lindy Pegler, who has a master's degree in psychology, wrote on Medium. In fact, we spend a lot of our time making small talk. 38 Coming up with small conversations is the foundation （基础）of these relationships.

The benefits of such conversations can actually contribute to our happiness and benefit our lives as a whole. Researchers found that having a healthy amount of acquaintances （熟人） and maintaining these relationships contribute to one's sense of belonging to a community.

39 It can be as simple as asking about their day or commenting on the traffic. “First and foremost, small talk is an act of politeness,”  Pegler noted.

Who knows where this can lead? 40 You might find someone who has a common interest, or maybe even someone who turns out to be a close friend. There is one thing for sure. Making small talk can brighten our day.
