Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.

One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city. “My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard,” said Maria. Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said. Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋頂). When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof. “What a wonderful garden! “said Maria.

Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.

“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative ! "

1.Why was Maria surprised when Mrs. Garcia took her to the roof and opened the door ?

A. Because she enjoyed beautiful roof with nothing on it.

B. Because she saw rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.

C. Because she looked around the countryside.

D. Because she breathed fresh air in the sky and felt relaxed.

2.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden?

A. It used the empty space well. B. It helped keep the air clean

C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It made the building stronger

3.After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to_______.

A. go back to the countryside B. pick flowers from the garden

C. grow vegetables on the roof D. show her around the park

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. A Creative Lady B. A Rooftop Garden

C. An Empty Roof D. A Special Building

Different cultures make different families. For example, there are differences in the way Chinese and Americans raise children.

First, Chinese and American families have different attitudes towards independence. Each Chinese child has been considered to be the apple of parents’ eyes. It is not surprising to see Chinese parents always helping their children with getting dressed, having meals, bathing, and other things. American parents, on the other hand, teach their children how to do things alone from childhood.

Second, most Chinese parents often make their children have extra classes, such as piano, drawing, or singing lessons. Parents want their children to develop in an all-round way and be better students than other children. The problem is that their children may not be interested in these classes. American parents try to respect their children’s interests and usually don’t make them do what they don’t like.

Third, there is a difference in the way parents in China and American treat mistakes that children make. Many Chinese people believe in the saying, “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” When Chinese parents see their children make mistakes, they often get very angry, some even hit them instead of making them realize their mistakes. This affects the children’s growth and the forming of their character, and also makes the generations gap wide. American parents think it is common for people to make mistakes because mistakes are a part of life. They often say, “It’s OK to make mistakes. Making mistakes helps you learn.” They help their children deal with mistakes by giving them ideas about how to turn mistakes into learning opportunities.

Families in China and America are quite different, and one way may seem better than the other, but it is better to think about whether the parents fit the family or not instead of talking about which one is wrong or right.

Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle(不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate(失業(yè)率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality(現(xiàn)實(shí)). By work, people come into contact with each other. By taking part in some activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.

Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment(充實(shí)感) and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.

From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

1.Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people?

________________________________________________________________

2.How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do?

________________________________________________________________

3.How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life?

4.Why can career women be healthier than housewives? (請(qǐng)根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，自擬1句話作答)

5.What do you think hard work can bring us? (請(qǐng)根據(jù)自己的想法，自擬1-2句話作答)
