Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official at the Ministry of Land and Resources (国土资源部).
"Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.
Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal," Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.
1.The article seems to tell us that .
A. farmland is in danger
B. countrysides are turned into towns
C. farmland has been sold
D. Chinese cities are grown fast
2.From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about .
A. China's development
B. land and resources
C. Chinese people's life
D. illegal land use
3.What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A. 120 million hectares.
B. 121.8 million hectares.
C. 2.67 million square kilometers.
D. Millions of square kilometers.

Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）．
"Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.
1.The article seems to tell us that_____________.
A. farmland is in danger
B. countryside is turned into towns
C. farmland has been sold
D. Chinese cities are growing fast
2.From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about ____________.
A. China's development is too slow
B. the population of China is growing fast
C. Chinese people have worse life than before
D. the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland
3.What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A. 120 million hectares.
B. 121.8 million hectares.
C. 2.67 million square kilometers.
D. Millions of square kilometers.
4.Which statement of the following is NOT true?
A. Yang Nan's new home is in a northern area of Beijing.
B. The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.
C. Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.
D. Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in China's farmland.
5.What will the government do with the problem of the drop in China's farmland?
A. Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.
B. Government will order not to build new towns any more.
C. Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.
D. Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert.

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(吃力地喘着气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.
“You should get in touch with other young people,” his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boy’s father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,” the doctor replied.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but it’s a secret.” The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”
“You could, my son,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”
The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand
and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"
1.Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?
A. Because her son had a tiny face.
B. Because she saw her son crying.
C. Because her son was in her arms.
D. Because her son was born imperfect.
2.Who gave the son the ears?
A. His mother. B. His father. C. A doctor. D. A stranger.
3.The underlined word “reveal” in the last but one paragraph means “________”．
A. see B. show C. find D. search
4.The best title for the passage would be ________.
A. Mother’s hair
B. An unforgettable memory
C. Who gave me the ears?
D. Who is my best respectable person?
5.The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers that ________.
A. The secret was kept until the mother died.
B. Real love lies in what is done but not known.
C. The operation on the boy was a great success.
D. The boy entered the diplomatic service when he grew up.
