School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School,students are hard at work.In a garden bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting them for the weekend's farmers market. They work Tuesday through Saturday with City Blossoms, a non-profit that brings community gardens to schools and other places where kids gather in urban areas.
Roshawn Little, going into her junior year at Eastern, believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things—like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she has taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her family now buy more fruits and vegetables.“We mainly live around liquor(酒)stores and snack stores. There aren’t that many grocery stores. They're way out, and you have to drive so far”—a common problem in low-income urban areas.
City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to establish school gardens, like the one at Eastern. These gardens, advocates say, are really outdoor classrooms where kids learn valuable lessons — not just about nutrition, but also about science and math, even business skills. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons—like calculating the area of a plant bed—or learning the science of how plants grow.
On a recent weekend at the Aya farmers market, the kids work at a table decorated with handmade signs that read “onions” and “garlic”, inviting people to try their herbed salt with bread. Working at the market helps them practice public speaking skills and business skills.
Nadine Joyner of a nutrition education company has a food table next to the kids at the market and often buys produce from them. She is constantly impressed by the kids’ knowledge of what they're selling—they know how to grow it, how to prepare it, and how to cook it
1.What do students at Eastern do with the harvested vegetables?
A.Sell them on market . B.Take them to school.
C.Give them to farmers. D.Share them at home.
2.What can we infer about the area Little lives in?
A.It is inconvenient in traffic. B.It is crowded with grocery stores.
C.It has poor access to fresh foods. D.It suffers from income inequality.
3.Why does City Blossoms establish school gardens?
A.To provide nutritious food. B.To improve classroom conditions.
C.To cooperate with local community. D.To create outdoor learning chances.
4.Which may be the best title for this text?
A.Green Vegetables, Healthy Gardeners B.School Garden: a Promise Land in Summer
C.Young Gardeners, Knowledgeable Minds D.City Blossoms: an Exciting Garden Project

Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.
From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.
Salt acts as a natural anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported.
The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.
The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.
However, most adults in the developed world consume(消耗)around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.
The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.
Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.
One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.
Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.
1.What does the underlined word "deficient" in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. enough B. far from enough
C. more than enough D. plenty
2.The major role of salt is to ________.
A. help the body work well
B. help fight against depression
D. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs
D. help people enjoy sugary substances
3.Which of the following statements is true?
A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it.
B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.
C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.
D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health.
4.What kind of food should people eat more of?
A. Frozen food B. Fast food
C. Red meat D. Low-salt food

In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.
After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.
1. In America, the driver’s course mentioned above___________.
A. is considered as part of the advanced education
B. is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license
C. is carried on at the same time as other courses
D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
2. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car______________.
A. has a sign inside it B. has two sets of brakes
C. is big enough to hold five persons D. can’t run very fast
3. We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.
A. go out driving for twelve times B. spend at least six hours driving
C. drive for two hour blocks of time D. get half an hour driving
4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver’s license?
A. They must be 16 years of age
B. They should go to have their driver’s test
C. They must have their eyes examined
D. They ought to do well in their driver’s course
5 In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means______________.
A. happily B. successfully
C. colorfully D. quickly

It was about six years ago.We were at senior high school.Those days in school were gray to most Chinese students because of the college entrance examination pressure.Not our parents and teachers didn't love us,but they loved us too much.Our only happiness was a high grade in the exam.
One afternoon after the final exam,we four girls came to a small wood and we felt it only belonging to us that afternoon.We talked and laughed.We played all the games that we could think of.We felt we were on the top of the world for the first time in our life.We totally forgot the unhappiness in our life and we threw the homework and the endless exams far away out of the wood.
In the middle of the wood ran a small and peaceful stream.Now and then,we could see some wild ducks on the water looking for food.The water weeds danced happily while the water passed beside them.The air was so fresh that we breathed it freely.
The sun had set before we knew it.We had to leave the place which brought us much happiness.We agreed to come back again every time we felt bored.
Years later,we went there several times.But,every time we went there to find that great feeling,we failed.Strangely,the feeling was different from that of several years ago.
I know that wonderful experience was just for once.We can never find that kind of happiness again which only belonged to the special afternoon in our life.That was a release of our uneasy heart.We can never go back to that young age or that simple life.It was our golden ages.No matter how boring and hard the life was,it gave us something worthy to recall.We'll treasure it forever.

Think for a moment about the teachers you’ve had at junior or senior high school. Which one did you like best? And why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in your opinion? 1.And then begin to read further.
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have expert knowledge of their subjects and that they should devote themselves completely to their work. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent.2.
It’s impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they’re interested in them as people. 3. A deep knowledge of the subject is especially important.4. That’s to say, a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, because they’re also models that their students must follow, it’s important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work—families, friends, hobbies, etc. 5.
A.They’re perhaps a little too simple.
B.Students ask too much from teachers.
C.Well- qualified teachers should be educated and capable.
D.Consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding.
E.A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become narrow-minded.
F.Equally important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively.
G.They also pay attention to the development of both their brains and their characters.
