26、 Pumpkins (南瓜) have all shapes and sizes and have colors of golden orange, white and green. Cooked in a pie, they are symbols of autumn that are grown in every county of Washington.
U.S. farmers grow more than a billion pounds of pumpkins every year, and many famers use sheets (膜) of plastic blocking the grass and preventing water loss to make their plants grow well. In the country, farmers use about a billion pounds of plastic every year. Unfortunately, that plastic is thrown away finally, and in some areas, burned in the fields.
For several years, Carol Miles has studied a new product—the soil-biodegradable (土壤生物降解的) plastic cover that can be left in the ground after harvest, then broken down by things in the soil. “You don't need to pull it out of the field and throw it away every autumn, saving time and money,” Miles said.
Most pumpkins grow along vines (藤蔓) that spread through the grass-blocking cover, and Miles wanted to see how pumpkin fruit performed over the plastic cover. That brought a challenge: the soil-biodegradable cover stuck to the bottom of the fruit.
“We have a lot of dew (露水) in the morning, and we found that if we let the fruit dry after harvest, the cover would stick more strongly to the pumpkins,” Miles said. “Nobody wants plastic stuck to pumpkins, even if it's biodegradable. But if you wipe the fruit before the dew dries, the plastic comes right off.”
Farmers who grow plants that don't set fruit on plastic covers won't meet this challenge. For those who do, it means an extra step that they'll have to weigh against advantages and disadvantages for the development.
“Challenges aside, working with this crop can bring on a happy picture,” the farmer Tymon said. “Pumpkins are great. They have bright colors, and are really fun to work with.”
【1】How did farmers deal with the sheets of plastic in old farming method?
A．They collected them and recycled them.
B．They burned them or threw them away.
C．They covered them under the ground.
D．They broke down them and buried them in the soil.
【2】What's the advantage of Mile's new product?
A．It prevents water loss.
B．It blocks the grass.
C．It is stuck to pumpkins easily.
D．It's environment-friendly.
【3】How can farmers do to prevent the plastic sticking to pumpkins?
A．Let the pumpkins break down plastic sheets.
B．Wipe the dew from the plastic cover.
C．Clean the pumpkins when they're wet.
D．Put some powder on the plastic sheets.
【4】What does the underlined words “weigh against” means?
A．Balance against.
B．Fight against.
C．Remove.
D．Measure.
27、A young, dark haired woman appeared in the doorway.
“Good morning, children! My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”
The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.
“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.
“This probably won’t last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”
The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.
“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.
“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine’s Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”
The children looked amazed, but pleased.
“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.”
As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.
“A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher.
“We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”
“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?”
“Want to know what the first prize will be?”
Immediately, every hand in the room went up.
Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica（口琴）.
“What do you think of this?” She waited.
“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class.

28、A Massachusetts man has got his wedding ring back thanks to some hikers who decided to try their luck at finding it.
It all started after Bill Giguere lost his gold wedding ring. Looking for the lost golden wedding ring was like searching for a needle in a haystack (干草堆). He had lost it during a daytime hike on Mount Hancock. Giguere was not sure about the location of the missing ring. He only remembered that he had briefly pulled off his gloves at the top of the mountain. And he guessed that the ring might fall off at that time. By the time he returned to his car after the hike and noticed that his ring was missing, it was completely dark.
He then decided to take his chances by posting information about his missing ring in a Facebook group for hikers. Luckily, the post was seen by Tom Gately. “As I read the post, my heart went out to him because I had lost my wedding ring before and luckily a man picked it up and returned it to me. So I decided to help him and I was going to be on the mountain to look for it,” Gately said.
Gately didn’t believe there was any chance of finding the ring on a snowy 10-mile trail if he only depended on his eyes and hands. So he decided to improve his chances by bringing along his metal detector (探测器). Within minutes of Gately and his friends reaching the top for the ring, his metal detector started ringing. He then brushed away some snow only to find the missing wedding ring. “Everybody just started laughing,” Brendan, Gately’s friend, said, “You couldn’t believe it.”
After Giguere received a Facebook message about how they had found the ring, he drove 60 miles to Gately’s house so he could pick up his wedding ring. And he thanked the hikers for their efforts again and again.

29、For most people, Friday, which happens to be the 13th, means little more than the start of a weekend. However, to million people worldwide who suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia (周五 13 恐惧症), the combination of the day and number brings had luck. While no one knows for sure how it began, there are many theories.
Experts think it starts with the fear of the number 13. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, which is regarded as a complete number. After all, there are 12 months in a year, 12 gods of Olympus, and so on. This has caused the belief that 13 is incomplete and, therefore, unlucky.
The number’s bad name is worsened by the fact that several unfortunate incidents are linked with 13. One example is NASA’s Apollo 13 mission (任务). The seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program, launched (发射) at 13:13, never landed on moon. For some people, the mission failed because of the number 13.
If you are among those who can “Shake It Off”, you are in great company. Taylor Swift is not affected by the number, who says, “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seal or the 13th row. Basically, whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing.”
The fear of Friday appears to come mainly from ancient religion. It was the day Jesus was killed. Though the date was not the 13th, it happened after the Last Supper, which had 13 guests.
When the date and day meet, people suffer from anxiety. Construction and shipbuilding workers easily become nervous, which often leads to more accidents. This, of course, further adds to their anxiety. It is reported that businesses lose more than $800 million because many people avoid traveling or shopping on this day.
【1】In which part of a newspaper might the passage come from?
A. Society and Culture. B. Wealth and Finance.
C. Health and Fitness. D. Arts and Entertainment.
【2】Why was Apollo 13 mission mentioned?
A. To prove people’s fear of 13. B. To show the cause of the failure.
C. To point out the bad luck caused by 13. D. To give examples about the bad name of 13.
【3】What does the underlined part “Shake It Off” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Appreciate it. B. Defend it.
C. Imagine it. D. Get rid of it.
【4】What can we know about paraskevidekatriaphobia from the last paragraph?
A. Its origin. B. Its effect.
C. Its cause. D. Its solution.
