It was really almost by accident — Orren played in a friend's house whose family had chickens, and he became interested in the animals immediately. Later, he started volunteering every Saturday at a local farm. Within a few months the farmowner suggested that Orren get a few chicks of his own.“I don't know what it was, but something caught my interest，” says Orren. Today Orren has 23 chickens, four ducks, and 250,000 bees. His happy chickens lay a lot of healthy eggs, which he sells all the year round. He became a vegetarian (素食者) after he learned about the cruelty and negative (消极的) environmental effects of factory farms. In his diary he writes about raising happy chickens and bees, food and healthy eating, farming, and generally making the world a better place. “Farming affects our earth more than anything else，” says Orren. “It's somethingyou have to do correctly, or it will ruin our planet. It's often ignored, but for me, learning about where my food comes from has been really interesting.”In fall 2009, Orren started a farm club at his school. “I wanted to get people to learn more about farming and what fun it is，” he says.Orren's passion (热情) for farming and other types of animals continues to grow. He went to the Essex Country Bee School in early 2010 to learn about beekeeping. Orren now has three beehives (蜂箱) of happy bees. In the summer of 2011, Orren started to sell his honey, BeeHappy, to local stores. Next, he wants to raise sheep and goats. “I know a lot more about the environment and how farming affects it, but I still have a lot to learn，” says Orren. “I want to keep doing all of this as I get older.”语篇解读：Orren在九岁那年对朋友家的一群鸡产生兴趣，后来自己开始饲养动物，从饲养这些小动物中，他了解到农业对环境保护的重要性。
1．Orren became interested in chickens when ________.A．he saw chickens lay eggsB．he raised some chickens by himselfC．he got some chickens from a farm ownerD．he visited a friend who had chickens解析：选D 细节理解题。
根据第一段第二句话可知D项正确。
2．Orren started a farm club at his school in order to ________.A．collect money for his farm clubB．employ people to raise animals for himC．attract people to buy his productsD．help people learn more about farming解析：选D 细节理解题。
根据第三段Orren说的“I wanted to get people to learn more about farming and what fun it is”可知D项正确。
3．What can we learn about Orren from the text?A．He has raised sheep and goats.B．He sells not only eggs but chickens.C．He is concerned about the environment.D．He became a vegetarian under the influence of his friend.解析：选C 推理判断题。
根据第二段的“he learned about the cruelty and negative environmental effects”及最后一段的“I know a lot more about the environment and how farming affects it”可知Orren关注环境。
4．What is the best title of this passage?A．A rich farmownerB．A great chicken keeperC．It all began with the chickensD．Raising chickens pollutes the environment解析：选C 文章标题题。
本文主要介绍了Orren九岁时对朋友家的鸡产生兴趣后，开始饲养动物，慢慢体会到农业在环境保护中所扮演的重要角色，故C项最合适。
BIn China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there.Services such as hospitals and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside.They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city.These rich families want to live a quieter life.They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses.They don't want to live in the cities any more.They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities.Some don't go very far, just to the towns near the cities.Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields.There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy.After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake.They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do.People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city.“It's_wonderful_to_see_crowds_in_the_streets_and_cinema_lights，”they say.语篇解读：久居农村，城市是一道风景；久居城市，农村又是另一道风景。
