That one looks just like a sheep!And look over there. That one looks like a horseDo you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky? Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.
But now people look at the sky and see clouds in the shape of a motor companys advertising logo (標識) ，or a message inviting them to go out and buy a certain drand(品牌) of beer. These cloud pictures are not products of their imaginations. Instead,they are produced by a machine. These new floating advertisements are called Flogos; the name stands for “floating logos." They’re made from a mixture of soapy foam(泡沫) and a lighter-than-air gas such as helium,and they can be made into different sizes and shapes depending on the advertisement.
Flogos can last up to an hour if weathei conditions are good,and they can fly several kilometers high. Advertisers can rent a Flogc machine for $2,500 a day. The set-up is normall
performed within 1 to 2 hours,and it will release four Flogos per minute. Advertisers can fill the aii with any shape or message they want.
Some people are worried that the Flogoi might not be pollution-free(無污染的) .However the Flogo's inventor insists that the soap he uses natural,and that a Flogo just dissipates in the air,leaving nothing behind. Though it may be true that Flogos are environmentally friendly,some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones. They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.
28. The author mentions the animal-like clouds to show that.
A. clouds remind us of the good old days
B. clouds can become any interesting shape
C. weather conditions were much better in the past
D. people observed the sky more carefully in the old days
29. What do we know about Flogos?
A. They are made out of air and gas.
B. They are purely imaginary products.
C. They were produced by a motor company.
D. They are flying designs used for advertising.
30. What does the underlined word “dissipates” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Hides. B. Travels.
C. Remains. D. Disappears.
31. We can infer from the end of the text that some people .
A. believe what the Flogo's inventor says
B. prefer the new floating advertisements to others
C. fear that Flogos will leave nothing to their imaginations
D. hope that companies will advertise by using natural clouds
28. A.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的 Do you remember …以及.Those were the good old days ... clouds 可以推測，作者在第一段提到形狀像動物的云朵是為了表達對那些過往美備時光的回憶。
29. D.細節(jié)理解題。根搪第二段中的 描述可知，F(xiàn)logo指的是那些出現(xiàn)在 天空中的類似云朵的廣告。
30. D.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線得后的 leaving nothing behind 可知，這些泡沫最終會消失得無影無蹤。
31. C.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段末 句 They are afraid that soon thc;re will be nowhere left where their imaginations can .float freely 可知，有 些人害怕這些人工制造的類似云朵 的廣告圖案會剝奪了他們想象的權(quán)利。

Banker Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown,New Jersey,seven years ago. Surrounded by working farms,he quickly became interested in the grow-it-yourself idea and rented a piece of 30-by-30-foot land. He planted tomatoes,eggplants and other vegetables — enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn't give it away. He found a local food factory,donated(捐贈) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.
The following year,with a handful of volunteers and a memorable name — America,s Grow-a-Row,Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables,all of which he donated to area food banks,places that give food,to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton,who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?
“I guess we were feeling honored,” says Meredith. Not only do the Comptons weleome Grow-a-Row volunteers,they also work on the land.
What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year,Grow-a-Row will deliver about 250,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Their secret for getting all of this done? Family power. “Each week,a couple of families ‘own’ the garden,” says Paillex. “They water,pick,and deliver,and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families."
Paillex also welcomes local school kids. On a Friday morning in May,some kids worked on a field. “We’ re growing food,” one fifth grader said proudly.
“The program shows kids that there are people in need,” says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow's leaders,they’ 11 be much more likely to encourage their co-workers or employees to get involved in(參與) something like this."
“Chip makes people want to help,” says Colleen Duerr,a mother of two. “And families love this. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart."
32. Why did Chip start growing vegetables in Pittstown?
A. There were very few fresh vegetables on the market.
B. He wanted to offer food to the local foocT factory.
C. Farmers there encouraged him to do so.
D. He was deeply attracted by planting.
33. After a year 's planting,Chip .
A. set up more food banks in the area
B. won great support from more people
C. helped save mariy people from being poor

34. How can Grow-a-Row manage to produce so much food?
A. School children play the most active part.
B. Families take turns to look after the garden.
C. The work is divided into separate small tasks.
D. Schools and families divide the work equally.
