We had lots of meetings with our neighbors, trying to make them understand why it’s good to build a garden on the roof. Now people love coming here, and we have made a lot of friends!Wilber: The whole thing wasn’t easy at first. But Jasmine helped a lot. And she was really good a t making people happy to donate (捐赠) money for the roof garden.David: My kids love going up there. They sit there watching butterflies and birds. The roof garden brings them closer to nature.Samuel: You want something green? Visit the park! It’s only one block away! After the roof garden was built, small insects started flying into my room! And the kids leave mud on the stairs when they come down from the roof!Rosie: Our building is now cooler in the summer.

But there is one important thing you may never have thought about: Has your doctor rested enough?Doctors in our country often have to work 34 hours or longer without sleep. Most of them work 104 hours a week, and some even 150. (There are only 168 hours a week!) One report said that a doctor who works such long hours cannot think more clearly than a drunk driver. Another found that doctors who sleep 5.8 fewer hours than the week before might make 22% more serious mistakes. Surely no one wants to get in a car that is driven by a drunk driver. So, how safe would you feel when you are under the care of a tired doctor?Sadly this problem has been around for a long time. There are no laws about it yet and hospital bosses don’t look like they care either. And that is why we doctors are asking you to join us on the street this Sunday. Fight together with us on the street so we can fight better for your life in the hospital.Time: 1 p. m. July 15 Place: City Hospital Square4.

Fill that giant building 44 times with rotten fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster. But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.Usually, the stores fi nd a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Fanners get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little… ugly?8. Why are lots of fruits and vegetables thrown away in the US?A.

The stores selling ugly food.B. The better names for ugly food.C. The number of hungry Americans.D. The benefits of the ugly-food movement.10. What does the mark “…” in the last paragraph suggest?A. The author would like to buy ugly carrots.B. No one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly.C. The author does not quite like the word “ugly”.D. Nobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly.DFeet help us walk, run, dance, and jump. The words feet and foot are also used in everyday speech.To be under someone’s feet means to be troublesome. In other words, you are standing too close to someone and are getting in their way. Some adults criticize (批评) children for being under foot.Speaking of children, if someone says their home will soon have the pitter-patter of tiny feet, it means the family is expecting a baby!Now, people who are active d o not let grass grow under their feet. They are never in one place for very long. People who can think and take action at the same time are said to be able to think on their feet.Some people appear to have it all. They have money, a good education, good looks, a great family and a large circle of friends. You could say they have the world at their feet. This means whatever they want seems to be there for them.People who have both feet firmly on the ground are realistic and practical. They are not dreamy. You might say such a person is well grounded. If you are a bad dancer, you might be described as having two left feet. To dance well, it is better to have a right foot and a left foot.Sam loves skiing. He thinks that it would be fun to own a ski resort (滑雪场) high in the mountains. But he knows nothing about running a business. So, he decides to get his feet wet. In other words, he wants to get used to a new situation.He joins an organization for resort owners and attends their meetings. He travels to ski areas all over the United States. This helps Sam get his foot in the door. Having a foot in the door is a starting point. This expression comes from people selling things door-to-door. They would block the door with their foot so people couldn’t close the door on them.11. What would you say to someone who is “under your feet”？A. Oh, I’m terribly sorry.B. Take off your feet!C.
