Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modern farm life is still in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.1.Factory farms now produce most of the productsA.TrueB. FalseC.

Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may be people you do not like. But when your team decides to be the winner of the season, personal differences are often set aside for the common good of the team. By the end of the season, players who have fought through the whole season may become good friends, much like brothers.(3) For kids and young adults, team sports offer a way for them to get out and meet with friends. This can help them avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. Team work teaches people how to help each other and encourage each other. It can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.(4) Team work in sports offers a way for people to compete for something together. It is important to know that winning is not everything in sports and healthy competition can be good for people. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and devotion. Team sports are a great way to learn these values.(5) Team work in sports can help young people develop stronger communication skills. As every member must work for the same goal, they learn how to work with one another successfully.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221.

They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before.

Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modem farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer.

They didn’t need much, and it was ha rd for her to be creative every year.One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells, but they probably weren’t any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents’ house was small, and they couldn’t hang up very many.This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn’t get fresh fruit all year, or at least not oranges and grapefruit. Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting,but the dark red grapefruit were great. So she got a kilogram.Mary carefully packed the fruit in a box to keep them safe and dry in case one got smashed and its juice got everywhere. Then she wrote the address on the box and mailed it from the store.

Learning to coopera te with others towards a common goal in sports is what builds character, friendship and important life skills for players.②Working towards a common goal will keep the team firmly together. Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may be people you do not like. But when your team decides to be the winner of the season, personal differences are often setaside for the common good of the team. By the end of the season, players who ha ve fought through the whole season may become good friends, much like brothers.③ For kids and young adults, team sports offer a way for them to get out and meet with friends. This can help them avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. Team work teaches people how to help each other and encourage each other. It can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.④Team work in sports offers a way for people to compete for something together. It is important to know that winning is not everything in sports and healthy competition can be good for people. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and devotion. Team sports are a great way to learn these values.⑤ Team work in sports can help young people develop stronger communication skills. As every member must work for the same goal, they learn how to work with one another successfully.Task 116 Paragraph①17、Paragraph②18、Paragraph③19、Paragraph④20、Paragraph⑤A、The common goalB、Healthy competitionC、Team cooperationD、Exercising and friendshipE、Problems between team membersF、Building communication skillsTask 221、Cooperation in team sports helps build .A、set a goal22、When your team decides to win the season, B、characteryou set aside .

Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. It helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons to explain why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.The second reason is that the United States has never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is perhaps the most important one. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.21.When do most Americans feel they are poor?A.When they don't have a car.B.When they live in a huge country.C.When they don't use planes.D.When they have a car.22.What's the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A.Because the country is huge.B.Because the air-service is not very good.C.Because the car is a sign of wealth.D.Because Americans like to be independent.23.What kind of public transportation is good in the United States?A.Buses.B. Planes.C. Taxis.D.Trains.24.What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D.Poor people.25.Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.The answer to the gas shortage will not be a bigger system of public transportation.C.Nearly 80 % of the American people have cars.D.Cars give Americans the freedom to schedule their own time.Passage TwoSport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ criticisms to heart and find a law in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes, may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided, regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.26.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ________ .A.to make sports less competitiveB.to make sports less challengingC.to reduce their mental stressD.to increase their sense of success27.According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _________ .A.it can help them learn more about societyB.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC.it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD.it can provide them with valuable experiences28.Many coaches and parents have the habit of criticizing young athletes _________ .A.without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceB.in order to make them remember life's lessonsC.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD.so as to put on more pressure on them29.According to the passage parents and coaches should ________ .A.help children win every gameB.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC.enable children to understand the positive aspects of sportsD.train children to cope with stress30.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is________ .A.to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB.to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementD.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutPassage ThreeLike most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a nearby store occurred to me, I stepped in and suggested it to the storekeeper. If something interesting happened, the story of which I thought the local Catholic priest could use, I called him up and told him about it, though I'm not a Catholic myself.One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in a form that is not expected. One Sunday morning, the local post office delivered an important letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the post office manager a tank-you note. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the post office manager appeared in the entrance. He had happened to hear our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special letter to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”31.The writer was like most people because he _______ .A.lived a life that was excitingB.worried a lot about not having moneyC.gave away so much in his youthD.believed life meant getting things32.What did the writer learn in his late thirties?A.Experiment is important to life.B.Giving is better than receiving.C.Worrying about money is foolish.D.Improving other people's lives is easy.33.The writer suggested an idea to the storekeeper ______ .A.in the store windowB.in personC. about another storeD.in a letter34.When the writer needed a post-office box, ________ .A.his name went on a long waiting listB.he wrote the post office manager asking him to make oneC.he had an unexpected result because of his giving awayD.he wrote the post office manager to complain until he got one35.What attitude do the people have toward the post office ?A.Indifferent.B.Dissatisfactory.C.
