21、If you want your children to become willing and able gardeners, take steps early. It is not difficult, but you might need to change your thinking about children in the garden. Here are several ways to help turn a child into a gardener.
Arouse your children’s interest.
The first step is to get your children interested in plants. This is getting more difficult because of competition from electronics. 【1】. There they can smell the flowers and touch other plants. Next, let your children buy a plant which they like best.
【2】.
Children not old enough to care for a plant by themselves, need adults to teach them. This may be the best way to get children interested in gardening. Children copy adults. So, let them see how much you enjoy working with plants. Another great way to lead young people into gardening is to have them grow plants from seeds. 【3】. Carrots are favorites of many children.
Give them a job.
Don’t forget that children like responsibility. Find a gardening task that fits their age and is just for them. They can fill containers with soil. You can show them how to water and how to place labels. 【4】
Take it easy in the garden.
【5】. Adults teaching a child about gardening needs an easygoing, “go with the flow” attitude. If not, you could put a child off gardening forever. Learning is about making mistakes. And with gardening that means stepping on plants and accidentally pulling things that are not weeds.
A.Teach your children well
B.Get your children work with plants alone
C.Taking your children to a plant store is another good place to start
D.This is very effective when the plants are things they like to eat
E.You can also show them how to provide the right amount of light
F.Having proper attitude is the most important in teaching gardening
G.Being strict with your children in gardening can avoid making mistakes
22、 Computer programmer David Jones earns $35,000 a year designing new computer games. Yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool while the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs”, he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school”, he said, “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway”. David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
【1】In what way is David different from people of his age?
A.He often goes out with friends.

23、 China has completed its home-grown BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System (BDS) with the successful launch of two more BDS-3 satellites, 19 in all, and has started providing services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) since the end of 2018. The BDS, which will compete against the US’ Global Positioning System (GPS), will provide high-precision, reliable positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world by the end of 2020.
The Belt and Road Initiative is an ambitious effort to improve regional cooperation and connectivity in a trans-continental range. The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure (基础设施), trade, and investment links between China and some 65 other countries. It is also expected to increase Beijing’s influence in these countries.
“This is a key step for the BDS developing from a Chinese home system to a regional and then a global navigation system,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. China plans to launch another 11 BDS-3 satellites between the end of 2018 and 2020. China developed the BDS through a unique technological approach, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory and construction of international satellite navigation systems.
Altogether 18 BDS satellites have been sent into space in 2018, making this year the most intensive launch of the BDS satellites. They improved their work efficiency by reforming the management process. The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third. In the CAST production base in Beijing, several BDS satellites are being manufactured at the same time. They try to improve intelligent manufacturing capability, and cut down production times. Construction of the BDS-3 system has accelerated.
Once the BDS is fully completed, it will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after the US GPS system, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. India too, is building its navigational system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an operational name of NAVIC.
【1】When can the BDS offer global services?
A. In 2018. B. In 2019. C. In 2020. D. In 2025.
【2】What can the BDS do now?
A. Take the place of the GPS of the USA.
B. Watch anyone anywhere in the world.
C. Control the Belt and Road countries.
D. Serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The unique characters of the BDS.
B. The Chinese technology of the BDS.
C. The efforts of the staff of the BDS.
D. The difficulties the BDS has to deal with.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. China’s BDS is approaching its goal step by step
B. China’s BDS has become the fourth global satellite navigation system
C. China’s BDS helps BRI increase Beijing’s international influence
D. The unique technological approach makes China’s BDS outstanding
