26、Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffmann and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh food from the garden.

The Hoffmanns have been growing food and flowers for over twenty years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffmann has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) planting. He says, “Most plants will produce more in full sun, but if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”

For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffmann says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct (直接的) sunshine, especially the morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients (营养素) and water.

Mr. Hoffman says only plants with wider leaves do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.

Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffmann does not use pesticides. He planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get the morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.

Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings-these all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.

【1】Which of the following can best describe Mr. Hoffmann?

A．warm-hearted

B．Experienced

C．Easy-going

D．Funny

【2】According to Mr. Hoffmann, how many hours of sunshine is enough to keep tomato plants growing regularly?

A．Five hours a day

B．six hours a day

C．Eight hours a day

D．Twelve hours a day

【3】From the passage we can know that ________.

A．plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun

B．as a matter of fact, plants don’t need to grow in full sun

C．the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produce

D．it’s not fit for plants with less wide leaves to grow in shade

【4】The underlined word “pesticides” means ________.

A．化肥

B．灌溉

C．农药

D．修整

【5】The writer probably thinks that ________.

A．shade planting needs no sunshine

B．shade is also important in plant growing

C．it is easy for people to learn shade planting

D．vegetables made in the shade are of better taste

【6】We may read the passage in a magazine of ________.

A．history

28、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

Life is beautiful but many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest. Everybody has great potentials and abilities, but lots of people fail to use them. Do you know why? That’s because you don’t have passion（热情）or you can’t keep believing in 【1】. Besides, you may lose your way in real life. So how to make your life wonderful and special?

Nothing great was ever achieved 【2】 passion.

Keep trying whenever you meet difficulties.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.’’ A person who has a strong will always does his best to go for his aim no matter how many 【4】 he fails.

As a saying goes, “The time we get the most is usually when we face the 【6】 problem.” So just go on trying until you make it in the end.

Be yourself.

Everyone is born to be different so it is not necessary for us to be the same as others. Don’t care about others’ behaviors which are different from yours 【7】 imitate（模仿）others without thinking. You’d better stop 【8】 to be someone that you’re not. Stay true to yourself and be yourself. You will pay a huge price when you pay too much attention to what others do.
