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)

9.Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or (36)B  and so on.Why?Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.
(37)C  When you study hard at your lessons,your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health.When you get success,your friends will say congratulations to you.When you do something wrong,people around you will help you to correct it.(38)E All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor,you can also say you are very happy,because you have something else that can't be bought with money.(39)G,because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes,life is like a revolving(旋转的)door.When it closes,it also opens.(40)F.

A.those who have no houses
B.those who have nice cars and a lot of money
C.When you are in trouble at school,your friends will help you.
D.When you meet with difficulties,you can give them up and be happy.
E.And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too.
F.If you take every chance you get,you can be a happy and lucky person.
G.When you meet with difficulties,you can say loudly you are very happy.
6.The eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible.The lip gloss hides the trembling.The ponytail hides missing patches of hair.The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises.I might look at bit thinner,but everyone will ask about my new diet.My hair might not shine the way it used to,but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes.One hour of preparation and I look like myself.One hour of preparation and no one will know.One hour out of 24.Sometimes I woner if it's worth it-wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie.But then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes,and I have to do it.
Checking my makeup one last time,I push my sleeves up,though not past my elbows.I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes-heels are too dangerous with shaky legs-and grab my Hollister bag.Padding downstairs,I breathe in the scent of waffles and syrup.
"Morning,Mom,"I call.
"Morning,baby,"she chirps."Did you sleep well?"
"Better than I have been."
She sighs,and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute."Any improvement is good,"she says half-heartedly.
"Of course."
"I made waffles."Her offering.
"Thanks,Mom.Smells delicious."My offering.
I sit at the table and she hands me a plate.The thought of all that food turns my stomach,but I force a smile and thank my mother again.She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter.When she turns around,she takes in the waffles still on my plate,only missing a few bites.I smile apologetically.
"I'm not very hungry this morning."
"You'll need your strength for this afternoon."She bites her lip.She doesn't like to bring it up over breakfast.I eat another bite.
"I packed your lunch."
"I'm 18,Mom.I can pack my own lunch.You have more important things to do."
She reaches for the paper sack."But now I know you'll have something to eat.And you need to eat,okay?You have to keep your strength up."
Sighing,I take the bag.I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten,not any more than the one yesterday or the day before.Anything consumed after 11ends up in a plastic basin at 4:07.It'sjust the way it works.
"Hon,have you thought about what I said the other day?"she asks.
I shrug noncommittally.
"Sweetheart,you can't hide this forever.Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions."
"Mom,I have two months left of high school.I can make it till then.I'm class president and probably will make a graduation speech.I was voted‘Most popular,'‘Most fun to be around,'‘Best smile,'and‘Most likely to succeed.'I'm the girl who's got it all together.People don't want to know that the girl who's got it all together,doesn't have it all toether.People don't want to know that girl is dying!"
"Honey,don't say that.You're not dying."
"Yes,I am.You heard Dr.Morrison.I have maybe a year left.Mom,listen to me.I don't want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers,‘Look at her.Poor thing!I can't handle that.I want to be normal.Just for these last two months."
"Okay,"she whispers."Okay.Just remember,it's okay if you don't have it all together.Sometimes things just fall apart and there's nothing we can do."
"Thanks,Mom."I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the cheek."I love you.""I love you too,"my mom replies.This exchange,once taken for granted,is now a vital part of every morning,every afternoon,every night.Three little words,followed by four more,have come to mean more than an entire conversation.They bridge all gaps and disagreements,because we both know there is now a finite number left.
Keys in hand,I open the door and blink in the early morning sun.My silver car waits in the driveway and as I walk toward it,I check my reflection in the tinted window.Perfect.

13.Not long ago,few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts.For years in United States,only men had that opportunity.In 1983,that changed.Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.
On Monday,Ride died at the age of 61,"Sally was national hero and a powerful role model,"President Barack Obama said in a statement."She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars."
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid."If you asked me when I was 12whether I wanted to be an astronaut,I'm sure I would have said yes,"she said in a 2010interview."But I didn't even think about that as a possible career."
After studying physics in college,Ride got her change.She was accepted into NASA's astronaut training program in 1978,and then chosen to be the first American female in space.In 1983,she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shutter.
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984.Between the two missions,she spent a total of 343hours in orbit.After that,she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids.She co-authored six science books for children,and started her own science and education company.
Ride knew that she held a unique place in history."I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing,"she said.
Since Ride's historic trip,more than 40other American women have traveled to space.They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.

3.Education Does Count
----Bill GatesHundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education.They want to know what to study,or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did.
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt."Get the best education you can.Take advantage of high school and college.Learn how to learn."
It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft,but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out--and I'd love to have the time to go back.As I've said before,nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime.And even then they should reconsider.
In my company's early years we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time.We told him no.
Quite a few of our people didn't finish college,but we discourage dropping out.
Having a diploma certainly helps someone who is looking to us for a job.
There's not a perfect correlation(相连关系) between attitudes in high school and success in later life,of course.But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects,to learn to work with people in high school,and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.

The Author/Bill Gates is often asked to give advice about education due to his successful experience.He thinks it is unwise to drop out and that learning is sure to be beneficial
Some students want to drop out of school,believing schooling has nothing to do witha successful career,because there are many cases where people who don't finish their schooling are successful,such as Bill Gates.Besides,the high tuition of college educationis too much for ordinary families.Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on theirparents.Furthermore,experience counts most for a career and no wonder some would like to accumulate experience by takinga job at an early age.
"Knowledgeis power."Without knowledge,by no means canwe achieve our life goal.Schools are where people become knowledgeable.As for me,it is a wise option to concentrate on study from now on.I will make full use of time to complete my schooling and realize my dream..
7.Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical(临床的)depression (沮丧).That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings.They show that individuals (个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight (整夜) can develop clinical depression.Doctors use the word"clinical depression"to describe severe form of depression.Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities,low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.
In the new study,American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors.The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal(夜行的),which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.
The animals were separated into four groups.One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period.Another group was placed in front of a blue light,a third group slept in front of a white light,while a fourth was put in front of a red light.
After four weeks,the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank.They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University.He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed."What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness (不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱)red light,they did not."
Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight.He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.
He says there's a lot of blue in white light.This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

58.Researchers use hamsters in the experiment becauseD.
A.they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
B.they are easy to observe and study
C.they are sensitive to colors like human beings
D.they are active at night and sleep during the day
59.What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A
A.They drink less sugary water.
B.They don't sleep well.
C.Their eyesight becomes worse.
D.Their energy level becomes low.
60.What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?B
A.Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.
B.Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.
C.Living or working in low levels of light overnight.
D.Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.
