13.While shopping for my groceries a few years ago,I decided on an idea to buy one of those little potted basil plants instead of the package of basil leaves.It was about the same price and I figured I would plant it in my yard and maybe get a few meals worth out of it before it died.
Little did I know that the little 4basil plant would survive for almost 3years and provide enough fresh basil for at least 2-3meals per month (that's about 60basil-filled meals)!
What I learned was that the plant likes quite a bit of sun and warm temperatures (it went nearly into rest  in the winter when temperatures in Arizona drop to below zero overnight).My husband and I had enjoyed so many meals with fresh basil that after the original one died,we immediately got another basil plant to replace it.
If you like to cook,you know that basil fresh off the plant transforms a good meal into an amazing one.
To make the case for always keeping a basil plant in our yard even stronger,I just opened the latest issue of All You magazine and saw this picture of a beautiful basil plant.Then I read the first sentence of the accompanying article,"Did you know a basil plant can produce nearly 80worth of leaves each year?"
I knew that I had gotten my money's worth from the little plant,but I had no idea that I saved about 200in the time I had that plant.4to produce 200?That's a great return on investment no matter how you slice it!
Whether you buy your live herbs as seeds or plants,and plant them in coffee cans or your front yard,growing herbs can be a great way to save money and enjoy even better-tasting meals.Try it for yourself and see how much you can enjoy fresh herbs in your meals.
29.We know from the text that BasilD.
A.will survive for more than 3yearsB.must be planted in your front yard
C.can produce 80worth per monthD.can become meals after being planted

A.ableB.economicalC.mean               D.upward
31.Which one is NOT the author's attitude towards planting basil?B
A.It deserves your investment.B.It's a good way to save 200each year.
C.It can give you a big surprise.D.It can make you enjoy fresh meals.

4.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books,Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
        Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.

      The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.
