For thousands of years，man has enjoyed the taste of apples. Apples，which are about 85 percent of water，grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas. Among the leading countries in apple production are China，France and the United States.
There are various kinds of apples. But a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious，Golden Delicious，and McIntosh.
Apples are different in colour，size and taste. The colour of the skin may be red，green，or yellow. They have various sizes，with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart. Generally，sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make apple sauce.
Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metes. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter，this cold period is good for the tree.

As China becomes increasingly urbanized (城市化的)，it has to find space for its urban and rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model way may be re­inventing a “garden city”．
China's mega­cities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing rural­urban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.
This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the world's largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.
On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a long­term study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.
The concept is already practiced at grass roots level. Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. It's common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, there're fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit—all enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing.
Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.
25．Some experts suggest re­inventing a “garden city” because________.
A．it is the only model way to save the cities B．it helps stop destroying the rural areas
C．increasing urbanization takes place in China D．China has the largest population to feed
26．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A．To show the experts' concern about the increase of population.
B．To persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities.
C．To explain the reasons for the change of rural­urban framework.
D．To inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization.
27．In Hua Li's opinion, a combination of country and city will________.
A．benefit the environment and lower living costs
B．become a project that needs a long­term study
C．lead to more rural communities being replaced
D．attract more farmers to take tours in cities
28．As for the concept of the “garden city”，the writer feels________.
A．desperate B．hopeful C．disappointed D．concerned
C
During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything，from organized sports to music，dance and more. But we can overdo it，leaving our children feeling a little burnt out，and according to parent educator Diane Loisie，it’s their school work that suffers the most，“After school，if they’re busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you’re filling up that after school time，then it’s during the day they’re going to be taking a break.”
Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. Children can go up to their room，or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time；parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow，are they ever learning things now？’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep，but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”
It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all，many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that. However，Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything，then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!
29．What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?
A．They can get bored easily about everything.
B．They might have no time to do the homework.
C．They might not pay much attention to learning.
D．They can not easily focus on learning during the day.
30．What does Professor Claire McDermott think of children’s playing around?
A．It is productive. B．It is a bad habit. C．It is helpful.　　D．It is a waste of time.
31．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Don’t be children’s drivers after school.
B．Let children learn something from various subjects.
C．Make your children learn as much as possible.
D．Choose activities for your children wisely.
D
Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”．It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn’t going to like you or your co­workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them what they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who always says “yes”，then that’s what they’re expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
32．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?
A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B．We should help others in need.
C．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.
D．Always saying “no” means you are brave.
33．Generally speaking，we agree to do what we hate to do because we________.
A．have a bad habit B．have a kind heart C．have much concern D．have obligations
34．The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members，you’ll________.
A．have the same relationship with them as before B．have a loose relationship with them
C．disappoint them D．upset them
35．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Learn to Make a Right Choice B．To Be Yourself
C．Do What You Want to Do D．Learn to Say “No”
