Dear Alfred，
I want t tell yu hw imprtant yur help is t my life.
Grwing up, I had peple telling me I was t slw, thugh, with an IQ f 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was fund t have ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxius all the time, I was unable t keep fcused fr mre than an hur at a time.
Hwever, when smething did interest me, I culd becme absrbed. In high schl, I became curius abut the cmputer, and built my first website. Mrever, I cmpleted the senir curse f Cmputer Basics, plus five relevant pre-cllege curses.
While I was explring my curisity, my disease gt wrse. I wanted t g t cllege after high schl, but culdn’t. S, I was killing my time at hme until June 2012 when I discvered the nline cmputer curses f yur training center.
Since then, I have taken curses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning yur Prbability curse. I have hundreds f printer paper, cvered in self-written ntes frm yur vide. This has given me a purpse.
Last year, I spent all my time lking fr a jb where, withut dealing with the public, I culd wrk alne, but still have a team t talk t. Luckily, I discvered the jb—Data Analyst—this mnth and have been ging full steam ahead. I want t prve that I can teach myself a respectful prfessin, withut ging t cllege, and be just as gd as, if nt better than, my cmpetitrs.
Thank yu. Yu’ve given me hpe that I can fllw my heart. Fr the first time, I feel gd abut myself because I’m ding smething, nt because smene tld me I was ding gd. I feel whle.
This is why yu’re saving my life.
Yurs,
Tanis

There is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns ut, as lng as yu dn’t mind t much what it is. Tamara Wilsn fund hers a few streets away frm her west Lndn hme, and as well as picking up sme unwanted bread and fruit that wuld therwise be thrwn away, she made a new friend.
Wilsn is ne f 3.4 millin peple arund the wrld using an app designed t encurage peple t give away rather than thrw away surplus (剩余的) fd. “It’s such a small thing but it makes me feel gd and my neighbur feel gd. And a lt f small acts can end up making a big difference,” she said.
The last few years have seen an explsin in creative ways t tackle fd waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual husehlds t lcal cmmunities. Oli, the app used by Wilsn, saw a fivefld increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid grwth is cntinuing int 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and c-funder.
Abut a third f all fd prduced glbally is wasted, accrding t the UN’s Fd and Agriculture Organisatin (FAO). Almst 1.4 billin hectares f land—clse t 30% f the wrld’s agricultural land—is dedicated t prducing fd that is never eaten, and the carbn ftprint f fd wastage makes it the third cntributr f CO₂. Reducing fd waste is ne f the mst effective ways f tackling the glbal climate crisis.
Oli, Clarke said, was an attempt t change this n a small, lcal scale. “The app cnnects peple with thers wh have surplus fd but dn’t have anyne t give it t because s many peple are discnnected frm their cmmunities.” Users f Oli pst images f surplus fd that thers in the neighburhd might want. Oli als has a netwrk f 24,000 vlunteers wh cllect surplus fd frm lcal supermarkets and stres fr app users t claim.
Despite the success f the app, it was hard t make a difference t the huge scale f fd waste, Clarke added. “Even thugh we’re ding well, we’ve nly scratched the surface. But if everyne makes small changes in the wrld, we’d dramatically reduce the amunt f fd that ends up in bins.”
19. What des the authr want t shw by telling Wilsn’s stry?
A. Peple tend t use apps t rder fd.
B. Peple prefer t make friends n apps.
C. Peple find a high-tech fix t fd waste.
D. Peple shw mre cncern fr each ther.
20. What’s the cnsequence f fd waste accrding t the text?
A. Glbal warming.B. Lss f land.
C. Wrld hunger.D. Pverty and inequality.
21. What des Oli d t help tackle fd waste?
A. It sells surplus fd t thse in need.
B. It allws vlunteers t stay cnnected.
C. It prvides a platfrm fr peple t prmte fd.
D. It fills the infrmatin gap between green cmmunities.
22. What des Clarke think f the wrk n reducing fd waste glbally?
A. It is a great success.B. It requires jint effrts.
C. It is beynd human pwer.D. It has wn public supprt.

A new survey reviews that mre than 60% f websites and apps intended fr Canadian children may be cllecting persnal infrmatin and passing it n t a third party. The survey was cmpleted by the Glbal Privacy Enfrcement Netwrk, which reviewed 1,494 websites and apps.
Fcusing n trends amng Canadian users, the sweep team reviewed 118 websites and apps targeted directly at children, as well as 54 that are knwn t be ppular with and used by kids. The team’s findings shwed that mre than 50% f Canadian sites cllect persnal infrmatin frm children, including names, addresses, phne numbers and phts, audi r vide. In additin, 62% f sites admitted they may shw that persnal infrmatin t third parties. Anther 62% allwed the user t be redirected t a different site, and nly 28% f the sites and apps invlved any frm f parental cntrl r prtectin.
A member f the team Tbi Chen, utlined a few f the sites that did and did nt live up t the standards f children’s privacy nline. She praised bth Family.ca and Leg.cm fr their message bards that did nt allw users t pst persnal infrmatin, and nted that santasvillage. ca asked users t prvide their full name and email address. Gamezher.cm was als singled ut fr allwing users t display persnal infrmatin, including names, age, sex and lcatins. Pbskids.rg, n the ther hand, was praised fr nly ffering generic, pre-set avatars (头像) and barring users frm uplading persnal phts.
The Office f the Privacy Cmmissiner f Canada refused t release a full list f the websites and apps reviewed. When asked what wuld be dne with results, cmmissiner Daniel Therrien said that cmpanies reviewed in the sweep wuld be kept infrmed f the findings. “It’s ur usual practice after cnducting a sweep t write a number f cmpanies t pint ut the things that we’ve seen, t smetimes ask that things be changed, and n the whle the cmpanies react psitively t these requests.” Therrien added.
In an attempt t help kids better understand why their privacy matters, the Office f the Privacy Cmmissiner f Canada has created a lessn plan fr kids in Grade 7 and 8 that explains the Glbal Privacy Enfrcements Netwrk and has kids cnduct privacy reviews f their wn.
“We knw that cmpanies are nt the nly nes respnsible fr the prtectin f kids’ privacy.” Therrien said. “Parents and teachers bviusly have a rle. We have a rle, particularly in the area f increasing awareness f privacy issues amng the public.”
Matthew Jhnsn, directr f educatin at Media Smarts, said that the sweep’s results were sadly unsurprising. Media Smarts, an Ottawa-based nn-prfit digital literacy utfit intended t imprve media literacy and empwering the yuth t better engage with media, ffers age-apprpriate tips t parents cncerned with keeping their kids safe nline.
Jhnsn explained that in additin t educating themselves n the issue, the best thing parents culd d t prtect children’s privacy nline is t educate kids n the imprtance f the functin f their persnal data. He mentined an initiative by Media Smarts called Privacy Pirates, an nline game that aims t teach kids at the age f seven t nine that all frms f persnal infrmatin shuld be prtected and added that their persnal infrmatin has value and they shuld think twice befre giving it ut.
23. We can cnclude frm the data mentined in Paragraph 2 that ________.
A. parents must be t blame fr letting ut their kids’ privacy
B. the time that children spend n the Internet shuld be limited
C. mre children have realized the imprtance f persnal privacy
D. mre attentin shuld be paid t the prtectin f kids’ privacy
24. What will mst f the cmpanies d when receiving a request frm the sweep team?
A. They will help kids better understand why their privacy matters.
B. They will ask the team never t make their website public.
C. They will ask fr further infrmatin abut the research.
D. They will take sme measures actively in respnse.
25. Daniel Therrien seems t stress in Paragraph 6 that ________.
A. the team shuld develp a gd relatinship with the cmpanies
B. the prtectin f kid’s privacy invlves jint effrts frm adults
C. the public is unaware f their rle in prtecting kids’ privacy
D. the sweep team’s wrk is wrth nthing withut parents’ help
26. Accrding t Jhnsn, parents shuld ________.
A. guide their kids t play nline games
B. get kids t knw the value f their privacy
C. set a gd example t their kids in daily life
D. think twice befre giving persnal infrmatin ut

Our green spaces are shrinking, despite all the benefits they give us. If we want t save them, we need t value the ecsystem and health and wellbeing services they ffer.
Sheffield city cuncil’s balance sheet shws its parks as a £16m liability (负担). Traditinal accuntancy methds fcus n a park’s saleable value, r its peratinal csts assciated with maintenance. S England’s 27,000 parks are cnsidered as financial liabilities rather than the amazing asset t ur health and wellbeing that any f their 37 millin regular users culd vuch fr. They als deliver a range f ecsystem services such as imprved air and water quality, fld risk reductin by absrbing water run-ff, and cling the urban envirnment as well as prviding much-needed habitat fr wildlife. By using a “natural capital” accunting apprach that puts a value n all these scial, envirnmental and ecnmic cntributins, Sheffield discvered that fr every £1 spent n its parks, they generate £34 f benefits.
Yet this true value is nt widely measured r recgnised. As Ian Walmsley, Stckprt cuncil’s green space manager tld the Cmmunities and Lcal Gvernment select cmmittee parks inquiry, “an argument has never been successfully made that if yu spend a certain amunt f mney n a park, there will be a saving in the health budget and therefre yu shuld take mney ut f the health budget and put it int parks”. As a result, the MPs inquiry reprt published last week warned that parks are at a tipping pint f decline, threatened by a 92% reductin in their budgets since 2010-11 because f lcal authrity cuts. Less mney means fewer park rangers, less maintenance, mre litter, dg p and antiscial behaviur, including gang and drug-related activities, and gradually much-lved lcal parks turn int dangerus and unappealing areas. Tragically it’s the small, green spaces in prer, built-up areas that suffer disprprtinate cuts t park keepers and maintenance. We have been here befre. Uncared-fr, litter-strewn parks were characteristic f Thatcher’s Britain befre an injectin f public spending by a Labur gvernment and £850m f lttery cash brught them back t life.
But it desn’t have t be this way. Andrew Hinchley, green space develpment fficer at the Lndn Brugh f Camden, tld MPs if we had new ways f valuing the services parks prvide fr imprving water quality, fr example, then yu culd ask water cmpanies t pay twards their upkeep.
The cmmittee wants cuncils t publish strategic plans t recgnise the real value f parks and t set ut hw they will be managed (pssibly by a charitable trust, as Newcastle is lking int) t maximise their cntributin t wider lcal authrity gals such as prmting healthier lifestyles. It suggests the gvernment’s besity strategy culd fund parks. It als suggests that it culd be a legal requirement fr cuncils t prduce such strategies.
27. Accrding t the text, parks are regarded as financial liabilities because ________.
A. the area f the park is gradually decreasing due t pr prtectin
B. the budget fr the cnstructin f the park is gradually decreasing
C. the value f the park is lw by using a “natural capital” accunting apprach
D. the traditinal accuntancy methds fcus n a park’s saleable value
28. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing is NOT the benefit f the park?
A. Imprving air and water quality.
B. Symblizing the city civilizatin.
C. Cling the urban envirnment.
D. Prviding much-needed habitat fr wildlife.
29. Due t the reductin in budgets, what culd prbably happen?
A. The gvernment will take mney ut f the health budget.
B. The lcal authrities will centralize the management f the park.
C. Much-lved lcal parks will turn int unwelcming places.
D. The true value f the park will be widely measured r recgnised.
30. What can be learned frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. The cmmittee has published strategic plans t recgnise the real value f park.
B. It culd be a legal requirement fr cuncils t prduce such strategies.
C. The lcal citizens shuld pay fr the imprving water quality.
D. The Labur gvernment will spend £850m f lttery cash t revive the park.

Trnades
Trnades are essentially funnels f air rtating as fast as 300 miles per hur. Of curse, nt all trnades are s dangerus. 31 Such small trnades ccur in many places arund the wrld, even in suthern Taiwan, where several are usually reprted every spring.
It is, hwever, the big trnades that receive the mst attentin. 32 There can be flcks f dead birds drpping ut f the sky, chickens still alive but with all f their feathers gne, pieces f straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US strm, vilent winds frm ne trnad lifted a church int the air and drpped it nt a huse. In the same strm, a baby was whipped frm its mther’s arms and, miraculusly, fund alive in a nearby tree.
33 Althugh scientists nw knw a great deal abut trnades, they still cannt determine exactly when and where ne will frm. In additin, the path f a trnad can als be impssible t predict. It is unlikely t mve in a straight line, and will ften turn quickly. A trnad might blw dwn a line f huses, then suddenly lift up and leave ne hme unhurt, then tuch back dwn and destry the rest f the line.
T better understand trnades, scientists have develped special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-mnitring equipment that allw them t make clse-up bservatins f these dangerus strms. Radar equipment is put n trucks and driven near a trnad, where it recrds wind speeds and ther weather data. 34
In additin, better cmmunicatin and warning systems are als helping t reduce deaths and injuries in many trnad-prne areas. Radi and televisin warnings as well as sirens help t alert peple t ptential danger. Public awareness is als imprtant. When trnades d ccur, peple must act quickly. They shuld mve immediately t a safe place such as a basement r under a strng stairway and cver themselves with blankets r heavy cats. 35

In Martin Cunty, Flrida, tw nn-prfit rganizatins have cme tgether t plant seeds f hpe thrugh cmmunity gardening. Recently, the Huse f Hpe charity fr the hmeless and peple with addictins and ther mental health issues partnered with Prject , an rganizatin that helps at-risk teens, t grw cmmunity gardens in fur small twns acrss the cunty.
The teens in Prject ’s prgram—many f them aged 14-19 wh are als struggling with addictins, managing mental health r legal issues—visit the gardens every day after schl where they grw seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the prduce and learn t create their wn meals. They take sme f the prduce hme t their families but mst is sent t Huse f Hpe fr the hmeless cmmunity.
Beynd the need fr fd, Prject hped the gardens wuld prvide an educatinal pprtunity fr their teens.
“We’re trying t teach kids nutritin t deal with the health prblems—diabetes and besity—in ur cmmunity, but when we get int the garden, nw they’re ding hands-n stuff that really cnnects.” Bb Zacche, the executive directr f Prject tells Guidepsts.rg.
The gardens als ffer the teens prfessinal skills that can help them find wrk later in their largely rural cunty. Beynd skills, this prject has helped the teens find cnfidence and hpe fr their futures.
S far, the fur gardens arund Martin Cunty have generated 100 punds f prduce fr Huse f Hpe and the cmmunity at large. Althugh the amunt f fd can’t meet the greater need f the area, the prgram is an pprtunity t teach kids that the imprtance f giving back is just as valuable as the fd they’re harvesting.
“Yu see a majr shift in the thinking f these kids,” Zacche says. “Yu see them giving. The kids are learning t give at a bigger level than they’ve ever been able t give at befre.”
60. What kind f rganizatin is Prject
61. What d the teens d when they visit the gardens?
62. Apart frm prviding an educatin fr at–risk teens, what else were the fur gardens built t prvide?

I never lked up when my friends were talking and jking abut the retarded (智障的) by a few tables away. It didn’t even crss my mind that he might feel 1 when peple whispered abut him. S I just let them talk.

Dear Alfred，
I want t tell yu hw imprtant yur help is t my life.
Grwing up, I had peple telling me I was t slw, thugh, with an IQ f 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was fund t have ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxius all the time, I was unable t keep fcused fr mre than an hur at a time.
Hwever, when smething did interest me, I culd becme absrbed. In high schl, I became curius abut the cmputer, and built my first website. Mrever, I cmpleted the senir curse f Cmputer Basics, plus five relevant pre-cllege curses.
While I was explring my curisity, my disease gt wrse. I wanted t g t cllege after high schl, but culdn’t. S, I was killing my time at hme until June 2012 when I discvered the nline cmputer curses f yur training center.
Since then, I have taken curses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning yur Prbability curse. I have hundreds f printer paper, cvered in self-written ntes frm yur vide. This has given me a purpse.
Last year, I spent all my time lking fr a jb where, withut dealing with the public, I culd wrk alne, but still have a team t talk t. Luckily, I discvered the jb—Data Analyst—this mnth and have been ging full steam ahead. I want t prve that I can teach myself a respectful prfessin, withut ging t cllege, and be just as gd as, if nt better than, my cmpetitrs.
Thank yu. Yu’ve given me hpe that I can fllw my heart. Fr the first time, I feel gd abut myself because I’m ding smething, nt because smene tld me I was ding gd. I feel whle.
This is why yu’re saving my life.
Yurs,
Tanis

There is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns ut, as lng as yu dn’t mind t much what it is. Tamara Wilsn fund hers a few streets away frm her west Lndn hme, and as well as picking up sme unwanted bread and fruit that wuld therwise be thrwn away, she made a new friend.
Wilsn is ne f 3.4 millin peple arund the wrld using an app designed t encurage peple t give away rather than thrw away surplus (剩余的) fd. “It’s such a small thing but it makes me feel gd and my neighbur feel gd. And a lt f small acts can end up making a big difference,” she said.
The last few years have seen an explsin in creative ways t tackle fd waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual husehlds t lcal cmmunities. Oli, the app used by Wilsn, saw a fivefld increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid grwth is cntinuing int 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and c-funder.
Abut a third f all fd prduced glbally is wasted, accrding t the UN’s Fd and Agriculture Organisatin (FAO). Almst 1.4 billin hectares f land—clse t 30% f the wrld’s agricultural land—is dedicated t prducing fd that is never eaten, and the carbn ftprint f fd wastage makes it the third cntributr f CO₂. Reducing fd waste is ne f the mst effective ways f tackling the glbal climate crisis.
Oli, Clarke said, was an attempt t change this n a small, lcal scale. “The app cnnects peple with thers wh have surplus fd but dn’t have anyne t give it t because s many peple are discnnected frm their cmmunities.” Users f Oli pst images f surplus fd that thers in the neighburhd might want. Oli als has a netwrk f 24,000 vlunteers wh cllect surplus fd frm lcal supermarkets and stres fr app users t claim.
Despite the success f the app, it was hard t make a difference t the huge scale f fd waste, Clarke added. “Even thugh we’re ding well, we’ve nly scratched the surface. But if everyne makes small changes in the wrld, we’d dramatically reduce the amunt f fd that ends up in bins.”
19. What des the authr want t shw by telling Wilsn’s stry?
A. Peple tend t use apps t rder fd.
B. Peple prefer t make friends n apps.
C. Peple find a high-tech fix t fd waste.
D. Peple shw mre cncern fr each ther.
20. What’s the cnsequence f fd waste accrding t the text?
A. Glbal warming.B. Lss f land.
C. Wrld hunger.D. Pverty and inequality.
21. What des Oli d t help tackle fd waste?
A. It sells surplus fd t thse in need.
B. It allws vlunteers t stay cnnected.
C. It prvides a platfrm fr peple t prmte fd.
D. It fills the infrmatin gap between green cmmunities.
22. What des Clarke think f the wrk n reducing fd waste glbally?
A. It is a great success.B. It requires jint effrts.
C. It is beynd human pwer.D. It has wn public supprt.

A new survey reviews that mre than 60% f websites and apps intended fr Canadian children may be cllecting persnal infrmatin and passing it n t a third party. The survey was cmpleted by the Glbal Privacy Enfrcement Netwrk, which reviewed 1,494 websites and apps.
Fcusing n trends amng Canadian users, the sweep team reviewed 118 websites and apps targeted directly at children, as well as 54 that are knwn t be ppular with and used by kids. The team’s findings shwed that mre than 50% f Canadian sites cllect persnal infrmatin frm children, including names, addresses, phne numbers and phts, audi r vide. In additin, 62% f sites admitted they may shw that persnal infrmatin t third parties. Anther 62% allwed the user t be redirected t a different site, and nly 28% f the sites and apps invlved any frm f parental cntrl r prtectin.
A member f the team Tbi Chen, utlined a few f the sites that did and did nt live up t the standards f children’s privacy nline. She praised bth Family.ca and Leg.cm fr their message bards that did nt allw users t pst persnal infrmatin, and nted that santasvillage. ca asked users t prvide their full name and email address. Gamezher.cm was als singled ut fr allwing users t display persnal infrmatin, including names, age, sex and lcatins. Pbskids.rg, n the ther hand, was praised fr nly ffering generic, pre-set avatars (头像) and barring users frm uplading persnal phts.
The Office f the Privacy Cmmissiner f Canada refused t release a full list f the websites and apps reviewed. When asked what wuld be dne with results, cmmissiner Daniel Therrien said that cmpanies reviewed in the sweep wuld be kept infrmed f the findings. “It’s ur usual practice after cnducting a sweep t write a number f cmpanies t pint ut the things that we’ve seen, t smetimes ask that things be changed, and n the whle the cmpanies react psitively t these requests.” Therrien added.
In an attempt t help kids better understand why their privacy matters, the Office f the Privacy Cmmissiner f Canada has created a lessn plan fr kids in Grade 7 and 8 that explains the Glbal Privacy Enfrcements Netwrk and has kids cnduct privacy reviews f their wn.
“We knw that cmpanies are nt the nly nes respnsible fr the prtectin f kids’ privacy.” Therrien said. “Parents and teachers bviusly have a rle. We have a rle, particularly in the area f increasing awareness f privacy issues amng the public.”
Matthew Jhnsn, directr f educatin at Media Smarts, said that the sweep’s results were sadly unsurprising. Media Smarts, an Ottawa-based nn-prfit digital literacy utfit intended t imprve media literacy and empwering the yuth t better engage with media, ffers age-apprpriate tips t parents cncerned with keeping their kids safe nline.
Jhnsn explained that in additin t educating themselves n the issue, the best thing parents culd d t prtect children’s privacy nline is t educate kids n the imprtance f the functin f their persnal data. He mentined an initiative by Media Smarts called Privacy Pirates, an nline game that aims t teach kids at the age f seven t nine that all frms f persnal infrmatin shuld be prtected and added that their persnal infrmatin has value and they shuld think twice befre giving it ut.
23. We can cnclude frm the data mentined in Paragraph 2 that ________.
A. parents must be t blame fr letting ut their kids’ privacy
B. the time that children spend n the Internet shuld be limited
C. mre children have realized the imprtance f persnal privacy
D. mre attentin shuld be paid t the prtectin f kids’ privacy
24. What will mst f the cmpanies d when receiving a request frm the sweep team?
A. They will help kids better understand why their privacy matters.
B. They will ask the team never t make their website public.
C. They will ask fr further infrmatin abut the research.
D. They will take sme measures actively in respnse.
25. Daniel Therrien seems t stress in Paragraph 6 that ________.
A. the team shuld develp a gd relatinship with the cmpanies
B. the prtectin f kid’s privacy invlves jint effrts frm adults
C. the public is unaware f their rle in prtecting kids’ privacy
D. the sweep team’s wrk is wrth nthing withut parents’ help
26. Accrding t Jhnsn, parents shuld ________.
A. guide their kids t play nline games
B. get kids t knw the value f their privacy
C. set a gd example t their kids in daily life
D. think twice befre giving persnal infrmatin ut

Our green spaces are shrinking, despite all the benefits they give us. If we want t save them, we need t value the ecsystem and health and wellbeing services they ffer.
Sheffield city cuncil’s balance sheet shws its parks as a £16m liability (负担). Traditinal accuntancy methds fcus n a park’s saleable value, r its peratinal csts assciated with maintenance. S England’s 27,000 parks are cnsidered as financial liabilities rather than the amazing asset t ur health and wellbeing that any f their 37 millin regular users culd vuch fr. They als deliver a range f ecsystem services such as imprved air and water quality, fld risk reductin by absrbing water run-ff, and cling the urban envirnment as well as prviding much-needed habitat fr wildlife. By using a “natural capital” accunting apprach that puts a value n all these scial, envirnmental and ecnmic cntributins, Sheffield discvered that fr every £1 spent n its parks, they generate £34 f benefits.
Yet this true value is nt widely measured r recgnised. As Ian Walmsley, Stckprt cuncil’s green space manager tld the Cmmunities and Lcal Gvernment select cmmittee parks inquiry, “an argument has never been successfully made that if yu spend a certain amunt f mney n a park, there will be a saving in the health budget and therefre yu shuld take mney ut f the health budget and put it int parks”. As a result, the MPs inquiry reprt published last week warned that parks are at a tipping pint f decline, threatened by a 92% reductin in their budgets since 2010-11 because f lcal authrity cuts. Less mney means fewer park rangers, less maintenance, mre litter, dg p and antiscial behaviur, including gang and drug-related activities, and gradually much-lved lcal parks turn int dangerus and unappealing areas. Tragically it’s the small, green spaces in prer, built-up areas that suffer disprprtinate cuts t park keepers and maintenance. We have been here befre. Uncared-fr, litter-strewn parks were characteristic f Thatcher’s Britain befre an injectin f public spending by a Labur gvernment and £850m f lttery cash brught them back t life.
But it desn’t have t be this way. Andrew Hinchley, green space develpment fficer at the Lndn Brugh f Camden, tld MPs if we had new ways f valuing the services parks prvide fr imprving water quality, fr example, then yu culd ask water cmpanies t pay twards their upkeep.
The cmmittee wants cuncils t publish strategic plans t recgnise the real value f parks and t set ut hw they will be managed (pssibly by a charitable trust, as Newcastle is lking int) t maximise their cntributin t wider lcal authrity gals such as prmting healthier lifestyles. It suggests the gvernment’s besity strategy culd fund parks. It als suggests that it culd be a legal requirement fr cuncils t prduce such strategies.
27. Accrding t the text, parks are regarded as financial liabilities because ________.
A. the area f the park is gradually decreasing due t pr prtectin
B. the budget fr the cnstructin f the park is gradually decreasing
C. the value f the park is lw by using a “natural capital” accunting apprach
D. the traditinal accuntancy methds fcus n a park’s saleable value
28. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing is NOT the benefit f the park?
A. Imprving air and water quality.
B. Symblizing the city civilizatin.
C. Cling the urban envirnment.
D. Prviding much-needed habitat fr wildlife.
29. Due t the reductin in budgets, what culd prbably happen?
A. The gvernment will take mney ut f the health budget.
B. The lcal authrities will centralize the management f the park.
C. Much-lved lcal parks will turn int unwelcming places.
D. The true value f the park will be widely measured r recgnised.
30. What can be learned frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. The cmmittee has published strategic plans t recgnise the real value f park.
B. It culd be a legal requirement fr cuncils t prduce such strategies.
C. The lcal citizens shuld pay fr the imprving water quality.
D. The Labur gvernment will spend £850m f lttery cash t revive the park.

Trnades
Trnades are essentially funnels f air rtating as fast as 300 miles per hur. Of curse, nt all trnades are s dangerus. 31 Such small trnades ccur in many places arund the wrld, even in suthern Taiwan, where several are usually reprted every spring.
It is, hwever, the big trnades that receive the mst attentin. 32 There can be flcks f dead birds drpping ut f the sky, chickens still alive but with all f their feathers gne, pieces f straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US strm, vilent winds frm ne trnad lifted a church int the air and drpped it nt a huse. In the same strm, a baby was whipped frm its mther’s arms and, miraculusly, fund alive in a nearby tree.
33 Althugh scientists nw knw a great deal abut trnades, they still cannt determine exactly when and where ne will frm. In additin, the path f a trnad can als be impssible t predict. It is unlikely t mve in a straight line, and will ften turn quickly. A trnad might blw dwn a line f huses, then suddenly lift up and leave ne hme unhurt, then tuch back dwn and destry the rest f the line.
T better understand trnades, scientists have develped special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-mnitring equipment that allw them t make clse-up bservatins f these dangerus strms. Radar equipment is put n trucks and driven near a trnad, where it recrds wind speeds and ther weather data. 34
In additin, better cmmunicatin and warning systems are als helping t reduce deaths and injuries in many trnad-prne areas. Radi and televisin warnings as well as sirens help t alert peple t ptential danger. Public awareness is als imprtant. When trnades d ccur, peple must act quickly. They shuld mve immediately t a safe place such as a basement r under a strng stairway and cver themselves with blankets r heavy cats. 35

In Martin Cunty, Flrida, tw nn-prfit rganizatins have cme tgether t plant seeds f hpe thrugh cmmunity gardening. Recently, the Huse f Hpe charity fr the hmeless and peple with addictins and ther mental health issues partnered with Prject , an rganizatin that helps at-risk teens, t grw cmmunity gardens in fur small twns acrss the cunty.
The teens in Prject ’s prgram—many f them aged 14-19 wh are als struggling with addictins, managing mental health r legal issues—visit the gardens every day after schl where they grw seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the prduce and learn t create their wn meals. They take sme f the prduce hme t their families but mst is sent t Huse f Hpe fr the hmeless cmmunity.
Beynd the need fr fd, Prject hped the gardens wuld prvide an educatinal pprtunity fr their teens.
“We’re trying t teach kids nutritin t deal with the health prblems—diabetes and besity—in ur cmmunity, but when we get int the garden, nw they’re ding hands-n stuff that really cnnects.” Bb Zacche, the executive directr f Prject tells Guidepsts.rg.
The gardens als ffer the teens prfessinal skills that can help them find wrk later in their largely rural cunty. Beynd skills, this prject has helped the teens find cnfidence and hpe fr their futures.
S far, the fur gardens arund Martin Cunty have generated 100 punds f prduce fr Huse f Hpe and the cmmunity at large. Althugh the amunt f fd can’t meet the greater need f the area, the prgram is an pprtunity t teach kids that the imprtance f giving back is just as valuable as the fd they’re harvesting.
“Yu see a majr shift in the thinking f these kids,” Zacche says. “Yu see them giving. The kids are learning t give at a bigger level than they’ve ever been able t give at befre.”
