The town hosted a garlic festival every year and r egarded itself as the “Garlic Capital of the World”. He doubted that Gilroy’s garlic production and processing were far greater. In fact, Christopher Ranch was then the largest shipper of garlic in the world.So Melone set about trying to convince Christop her Ranch’s owner Don Christopher, to host a garlic festival of their own. At first, the idea seemed crazy. Outside of Italian families, garlic at the time was considered an esoteric material. It wasn’t something thought to be normal and it wasn’t somethin g you generally shared in polite company.But Melone had passion for Gilroy and garlic. He decided to stick to his idea. He and Christopher hired a local cook,Val Filice, to prepare a meal with a few garlicky dishes. The invited local media and food writers as well. The meal was a success, and the city leaders agreed to support them.The first Gilroy Garlic Festival was held at Bloomfield Ranch in 1979. Rudy Melone served as the president; Don Christopher supplied all the garlic from his; and Val Filice was the head chef. They got about 50 community volunteers to help them and decided to give all the profits back to the community. Festival organizers weren’t sure at first if anyone would come, but were quickly shocked by the number of visitors. Despite all the chaos, the first Gilroy Garlic Festival served over 15,000 guests and produced $19,000 for the local community.To date, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has given the city of Gilroy a sense of true community pride as well as worldwide recognition.

It was set up in Kalangala about two years ago. Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children, many of whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention. Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes. As the children progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children in the primary classes is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very formal and insists on children wearing uniforms (制服). Discipline is strict and the children are well¬behaved. Only English can be spoken and not the local language. Although English is the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own language for the first three years.School starts at 7 a.m. and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week. They also study during the holiday.28.What can we learn about government schools?A.The classes consist of a large number of students.B.Teache rs don’t speak English in class.C.Children always work very hard.D.It is free for children to attend them.29.Parents send their children to Bridge of Hope School because they _______.A.think the school environment is better thereB.hope their children can get the best educationC.want their children to be differentD.have no time to take care of their children30.Which of the following is TRUE about Bridge of Hope School according to the text?A.Children can wear what they like there.B.Life there is easy for childrenC.Lessons are given in the local language there.D.There are few textbooks there.31.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to ________.A.list differences between a private and a government schoolB.introduce a private school — Bridge of Hope School in KalangalaC.tell the history of the private schools in KalangalaD.show education development in KalangalaDAs any person suffering from lack of sleep knows, dark circles under the eyes usually stand out after a bad night’s sleep.But why do people get these dark eye bags? The answer is both genetic (that is, relating to your DNA) and environmental (a result of your everyday living, such as rubbing your eyes or getting too little sleep), said Dr. Carol Clinton, a skin-care researcher in Dublin, Ohio.But “the biggest reason is genes.” Clinton told Live Science. Eye bags are generally more noticeable in people who, because of genes, have thin or pale skin. When people are tired or very nervous, blood circulation in the eye area becomes slow, allowing blood to pool there. Clinton said. Capillaries (毛细血管) stand out, leading to dark eye circles, she said.Besides, eye bags result from eyes’ fat moving forward. An age-connected increase in fat beneath the eyeballs leads to eye bags. “Anyway, when your eyes’ fat is moving forward, you may think about having an operation in that area,” Clinton said, “A person can get 9 hours of sleep a night, but still have eye bags because of a genetic development.”In other cases, environmental problems cause eye bags. For example, allergies (过敏) — especially seasonal allergies—can cause capillaries to stand out. Getting too much sun can also damage and thin the skin, making dark circles under the eyes easy to see. Besides, eating salty foods can cause the body to hold more water, which makes。
