18．With limited space for parks and gardens，architects and city planners often find it challenging to include greenery in neighborhoods in cities．One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls and rooftops．It's a popular idea，and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been sprouting up（大量冒出）in cities around the world．
There are many benefits of having green spaces to the urban landscape．Adding gardens to rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment--what was once a gray cement（水泥）wall can become a colorful，blooming garden．The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid，Spain，is a famous example--one of its walls is covered with 15，000 plants from over 250 different species．In other cities，green walls are being used more functionally，to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to decorate the lobbies of office buildings．
Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer．Buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat and hold it，causing a building or neighborhood to stay warmer longer．Plants，on the other hand，provide an enormous amount of shade．There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building's energy costs．
In New York City，public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs．In addition to saving the school money，teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value--it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them．"For the children，it's exciting when you grow something edible（可食用的），"said Lauren Fontana，principal of a New York public school．
Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain．However，hard work always brings rewards，and with green spaces，the rewards are plentiful．
Due to the limited space in cities，rooftop gardens and green walls have emerged．（要点1）One benefit of adding green to rooftops and walls is to offer an agreeable surroundings．（要点2）Besides，shade can be created to make cities stay cooler longer，thus reducing the costs in energy．（要点3）What's more，green gardens in school bear educational value of children's exploring the world．（要点4）Though hard to maintain，green spaces in cities ensure abundant rewards．（要点5）

19．A mystery woman said today she has won￡1.5 million from the UK National Lottery-but has never told her husband．
For the past three years，the woman，a mother-of-two who gave her name as Jane，had hidden her fortune from colleagues，friends and family，she said．
"Jane"has remained in her job and，if she ever splashed out on treats for the family，tells her husband she has had a pay rise or bonus．
The woman told her extraordinary story on BBC Radio Five Live this morning．
Presenter Victoria Derbyshire was hosting a phone-in which asked the question："Is money guaranteed to make you happy？"
"Jane"called in and began，"I won quite a bit of money"，just under￡1.5million，and I've never，ever told anybody．Not even my husband．"
Derbyshire said，"You're kidding me．Why not？"
"Jane"replied，"Fear that it would change our lives too dramatically．My husband had，many years ago，a small drug problem-around 15 years ago．And I'm scared with the money and perhaps the high life…he would go back there．"
She continued，"I do feel if I had said，yes，I've won this money，that he would have wanted holiday，he perhaps would have wanted to give up work，which would destroy our little family unit we've got now．"
The presenter told her，"I'm very surprised，I can barely believe it but it's clearly true．Do you feel it's made you happier？"
"Jane"，who said her won was"about three years ago"，said，"It's nice because I know I haven't got to worry about bills．"
Derbyshire told her，"I'm full of admiration for you，but is it not a betrayal of your relationship？"
The woman admitted，"I feel terribly guilty in one way，but in another way，we've got two young children and I think，well，if their lives change dramatically then it's not fair on them．So I just want to keep things as they are．"

19．The woman let out her secretB．
A．fifteen years later                
 B．in a radio program
C．to a woman named Jane            
D．after a pay rise
20．Why did the woman keep her fortune hidden from her husband？D
A．Because she wanted the fortune in her control．
B．Because her husband was in poor health．
C．Because she didn't have to worry about bills any more．
D．Because she feared that her husband would take drugs again．

B．to let out a secret accidentally
C．to go abroad for a holiday       
D．to stay outside for sightseeing

C.1.5 million pounds won by a woman
D．A way to keep things as they are．
16．As a result，our country has strengthened _______to protect wildlife．（　　）

3．Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone，getting into a school or job，or just passing the time．But do you think you're good at it？And do you even know how to do it？If not，then it's never too late to learn．The art of small talk is the art of talking about unimportant things like the weather．So why should you find it iportant？
It's completely free．It doesn't matter if you fail，and you never know where it will go．"It can lead to many results，from a pleasant exchange to the signing of a million dollar business deal"，according to Brett Nelson in Forbes Magazine．The good things to small talk don't stop there．It can also make us smarter，as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly，social communication could help us solve problems．
You may be wondering how best to break this ice．Weather is probabl the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss．Sports news in also a very common topic，especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly．And if you and the other speaker have something in common，that may also he acceptable to talk about．For example，if the bus you are on is full，you might talk about the reasons why．
Complimenting （恭维）someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable； however，you should probably not say anything-good or bad一about a person's body．Basically，any subject that makes the otherperson give a deep-thought answer in not welcome．If you bring up something like death，religion，politics，for serious opinions，you will turn people off．

24．The 2nd paragraph is mainly aboutD．
A．the topics of small talk
B．the development of small talk

20．What is body language？Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of spoken language or other communication．Body language also includes many movements that most people pay no attention to，such as winking（眨眼）and slight movements of the eyebrows and other facial expressions．
Perhaps body language is one of the most powerful forms of human expression，which makes up 50% or more of what we are communicating to other persons．If you wish to communicate effectively，besides the words，you can use your body to say what you mean．
Also，body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person．The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are telling you the truth，or whether there is something more that's not being said．Watch，look and observe．Sometimes you can tell more by a person's body language than his words．
Besides，body language can be used for all sorts of things，such as showing confidence and winning respect in any situation．You can use body language to make people less nervous and make friends quickly persuaded and influenced．

25．What's the man idea of Paragraph 1？A

4．We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak，but his smile was as sure as ever．It was another attack of pneumonia（肺炎）．My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday．Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him．But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too，even when we weren't with him．
Then I remember a family tradition when our children were small．When leaving their grandparents'home after a visit，each child would write a note to their grandparents．They hid notes in the cereal（麦片），under a hairbrush，next to the phone or even in the microwave oven．For days，their parents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love．
So as I tidied Dad's kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room，I wrote some notes．Some were practical，"Dad，I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil．"Some expressed my love，"Dad I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．"Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength，but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow，"Dad，if you have found this one，you must be feeling better．We are so glad．"
Just like his medicine strengthened him physically，these"emotional vitamins"would improve his spiritual health．Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing．He said，"Pretty good．I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!"
