22、While a healthy diet has always been considered necessary for overall wellness, historically, many hospitals have overlooked its powerful potential for healing. In some areas, that’s beginning to change. In Pennsylvania four years ago, St. Luke’s Hospital partnered with Rodale Institute to start an organic produce farm at the hospital’s campus in Easton. Since its first season, the St. Luke’s farm has expanded to grow 100 fruit and vegetable breed on 11 acres.
Hospital farms are part of broader movement to make organic, locally produced food accessible to the general population. Some hospitals are making it a priority to source food from nearby farms, while others are turning deserted land on their grounds into community gardens. By making organic produce easily accessible to the patients and visitors alike, these hospitals hope to inspire lifelong changes for better health. Even though most hospital farms aren’t growing enough to completely supply their staff and patient food needs, providing even a small amount of fresh produce makes an educational statement about how healthy and delicious a plant-rich diet can be.
While the movement continues to gain attraction, it’s encountering some challenges along the way. For example, health workers don’t necessarily know how to grow food. This means that most hospitals need to hire a full-time farmer and other farm labor to manage the property, which can be expensive. It takes between 3 and 5 years for most hospital farms to break even, much less save money on food costs. Nonetheless, participating hospitals believe that the benefits are worthwhile. As the movement continues to expand, you might soon experience a farm-fresh meal at a hospital near you.
【1】What change is taking place in St. Luke’s hospital according to Paragraph 1?
A.Expanding the planting area of organic food.
B.Understanding better the role of a healthy diet.
C.Starting an organic farm at the hospital alone.
D.Neglecting the healing power of organic produce.
【2】How do hospital farms make organic food more available to the public?
A.By inspiring staff to grow more.
B.By growing food in nearby farms.
C.By purchasing more land as farms.
D.By gardening on the deserted land.
【3】What is the challenge of the movement?
A.The rising cost of foods.
B.The inefficient management.
C.The public less-open attitude.
D.The lack of workforce with planting skills.
【4】What do the hospitals involved think of the movement?
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.
C.Critical.
D.Passive.
23、Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia. Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C.
Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains.
Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888.
The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns.
Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations.
【1】What can we learn about Raymond Flower?

B.He invented skiing.
C.He recorded Norse myths.

【2】Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s?

B.The British spread it all over the world.
C.It was written in the textbook on history.
D.An adventure book about skiing came out.
【3】Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport?
A.The Swiss.
B.The British.
C.The Norse.
D.The Finn.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.How Did Skiing Develop in Norway?

C.What Are Skiing Adventures All About?
D.What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing?
