A tiny forest is a small area of closely planted, fast growing local trees. It is created to copy a natural forest, bringing all its benefits, but for a small space in cities. The first tiny forest was planted by a Japanese plant expert. Dr. Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s. It was so great that it grew quickly in countries such as Denmark. Britain. Germany, Ireland and Spain.

As the name suggests, the place doesn’t have to be big. An area the size of about 200 m2 is perfect. 600 trees, with as many as 40 different kinds, can be planted in the place. With 2 to 7 trees every square metre, the trees are planted much more closely than the ones in normal forests. But there’s still room for the trees to grow naturally without the use of fertilisers*.

To plant a tiny forest, one starts with testing the soil and choosing right kinds of trees. In cities, the soil is often in poor condition. It is important to create loose and rich soil. When the soil is prepared, the community will invite school children on a planting day. The forests need 2 to 3 years of care from children. Then the trees can become self-growing. It’s believed if children plant their own forest and spend a lot of time caring for it, they will grow up to be healthy adults with a sense of responsibility for the society.

Trees and forests aren’t special pieces of nature that should only exist in the countryside. They need to be a part of life in cities too.

19. The idea of a tiny forest came from a scientist in ______.

A. Britain B. Japan C. Germany D. Spain

20. What’s special about a tiny forest?

A. There arc usually about 7 kinds of trees.

B. It usually covers an area of about 600 m2.

C. It grows quickly with the help of fertilisers.

D. Trees arc planted closely in small places in cities.

21. Planting tiny forests can ______.

A. help children grow into responsible adults

B. tell children the way to test the soil condition

C. teach children knowledge about the community

D. let children experience the life in the countryside

22. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Save the World with a Tiny Forest B. Tiny Forest: Great Hope far Children

C. Learn to Grow Your Own Tiny Forest D. Tiny Forest: Super Tiny, Super Powerful

C

It’s well-known that sunshine influences people’s health. And new research shows it may also make people eat more—but only if they’re male*.

The finding is from Carmit Levy, a researcher who had been studying how sunlight affects the risk of skin diseases. She exposed* a group of mice to sunlight for a few weeks, and unexpectedly found that sunlight made male mice get heavier, but not females*. The males also worked harder to get food that was difficult to reach.

That interested her, so Levy and her team did further studies. They invited volunteers for two tests. Both showed that men and women were affected differently by sunlight. Then, they got data from almost 3,000 people. These data told that 1,330 men required about 2,188 daily calories* in summer months and only needed 1,875 calories in other months. The 1.661 women needed about 1,500 calories each day all year long.

Encouraged by this, the team ran more mouse experiments to test what might explain such findings. And the reason may be connected with these three things. The first is p53. Its levels will rise when the body is under stress. For animals that are usually active at night, such as mice, sunlight can be a cause of stress. The second key player is ghrelin. When the stomach is empty, it travels to the brain to send the message that the body needs food. The last is estrogen*. Its levels arc much higher in females than males.

Here’s what may happen in male mice exposed to sunlight. First, the stress of sunlight makes p53 in the skin start to work. This p53 then tells the skin to create ghrelin. Therefore, the mice eat more. But in female mice, the estrogen seems to interfere the production of ghrelin. As a result,the female mice may not feel so hungry. That’s to say, estrogen provides females with a greater protection against various forms of stress.

The idea that sunlight may affect the need for food is interesting. But being sure the key players and how they work with each other will require much more research.

23. After exposing the male mice to sunlight for weeks. Levy found they ______.

A. gained some weight  B. got food more easily

C. ate in a healthy way  D. suffered from skin diseases

24. Levy’s team did further studies on humans to ______.

A. encourage more people to form new eating habits

B. compare the eating habit of people with that of the mice

C. see how many calories men and women need through a year

D. check if people are affected by sunlight in the same way as mice

25. What docs the underlined word “interfere” probably mean?

A. Waste. B. Reduce. C. Develop. D. Complete.

26.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The p53 in the skin of mice will rise when night falls.

B. The ghrelin could make mice’s stomachs empty more quickly.

C. The scientists have been able to control people’s need for food.

D. The estrogen may protect female mice from the stress of sunlight.

D

I had always wanted to be a bicyclist. It changed when I met Lizzie and her horse at twelve.

One afternoon, I saw Lizzie looking up at a life-sized sculpture horse.

“It needs a rider,” she turned to me. “Would you be the rider, Bonny?”

“I can’t.”

“You can ride bikes. It’s not that different. You’d just sit there. I’d sketch* you, sculpt* you.” Later, I tried to sit on the horse. It felt strange up there—much higher than on bikes.

I came every day after that. I looked forward to mixing up the plaster* and holding it for Lizzie. I liked that. She was sculpting me up, little by little.

After a few days, work, I became the rider on the horse. It was me inside that skeleton.

When it was finished, I could hardly take my eyes off the magnificent horse and rider.

“Well,” said Lizzie. “What do you think. Bonny?”

“I just wish I could make a sculpture,” I whispered, touching the neck of the horse.

“You did, Bonny,” she said. “Without your help, I couldn’t have done it. Do you want to make a sculpture yourself?”

“I can’t.”

“Of course you can. But you have to look around, really look. Draw what you see. Make what you’ve sketched. You can have a comer of my studio. How’s that?”

I followed her words and set to make my small sculpture, layer on layer. The more I did, the more I felt I belonged to this new world. With growing interest, I kept sculpting. ______.

Lizzie was working in the studio too. For minutes, a neck or leg would suddenly come to life. “When you do it, it’s like magic,” I said.

She replied, “No, Bonny. Not magic. It’s a given thing, a talent from who knows where, who knows who. But once you discover you have it, whatever it is, it’s not to be wasted. Life’s too short to waste it.”

Then came my summer holiday. I drew every day, boats, gulls and fishermen. I made sculptures with wet sand. My parents seemed surprised at my new interest. I never had such a perfect holiday.

Months later, a cardboard arrived to me in a post. It was of me sitting on the horse.

So here I am, twenty years on, working as a sculptor. As I look out from my sculpture studio window, I see Lizzie’s Horse and Rider and all around my sculptures are gathered.

Magic life, I think.

27. What did Lizzie ask Bonny to do?

A. To mix up her plaster.  B. To be her sculpture’s rider.

C. To ride bikes with her. D. To have a look at her horse.

28. Which of the following sentences can be put into the ______ in the passage?

A. I felt afraid to show Lizzie my work B. I also started to have my own studio

C. I was able to sculpt better than Lizzie D. I was never happier with what I’d done

29. Why did Bonny keep Lizzie’s Horse and Rider for twenty years?

A. Because it reminded Bonny of her childhood.

B. Because it started Bonny’s career as a sculptor.

C. Because it encouraged Bonny to solve problems.

D. Because it taught Bonny the importance of practice.

30. Why did Bonny say she had a magic life? What did she learn from it?（请用约40词回答）
