One day a rich man took his son on a trip to the country in order to show his son if the poor lived, so he could be thankful to his wealth. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of that would be considered a very poor family. On their return back, the father asked his son to explain what he had learnt. The boy, who had remained silent and deep in thought on the journey home, replying in a way that shocked his father.

The boy said he wanted to become farmer. He envied the farmers who had the beautiful night star to give them light while her family had only expensive lanterns. His wish was to have a farm where he could go swimming in an endless river instead of the garden pool in their home. Finally the boy finished by saying, ¡°Before the trip I thought we were rich but today I have learnt who is true rich.¡±

With this, the boy got up and walked away, leaving his father sat on their comfortable sofa, totally speechless.

At long last, Stefano Boeri Architects¡¯ brilliant Bosco Verticale towers are finally completed. The ¡°world¡¯s first vertical forest¡± consists of a fantastic pair of costly towers that add nearly 2.5 acres of lush vegetation to the sky line of Milan, a city notorious (ÉùÃûÀǽåµÄ) for its air pollution. 1. Like a pair of green lungs, its forested appearance of 21,000 plants will absorb CO2, control noise pollution, lessen the urban heat island effect, and create oxygen and favorable micro-climates.

The Bosco Verticale mixed-use towers are constructed with a $2.5 billion public-private investment as part of the re-development of Milan¡¯s Porta Nuova district. The towers, measuring 260 feet and 367 feet, house 800 trees between 9 and 30 feet tall, over 4,000 shrubs (¹àľ) and 15,000 ground cover plants. Bosco Verticale is created with LEED Gold Certification (ÂÌÉ«½¨Öþ»Æ½ðÈÏÖ¤) in mind. 2.

The buildings shrub have welcomed their first residents. 3. A fast-growing bird population has already begun to nest in Bosco Verticale¡¯s rich leaves, of which over a hundred different species of trees and shrubs are represented. 4.

The superstructure is also selected for the world famous International Highrise Building Award as one of the five most beautiful and original high-rises in the world that is completed. 5.

While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence.

For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That¡¯s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.

After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions ,the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer ¡°game¡± that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a hard time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies¡ªdogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

1.How did the scientist conduct the experiment?

A. By mixing the selected dogs together.

B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

D. By showing digital pictures of women¡¯s happy or angry faces.

2.Which of the following statements is True about the dogs in the study?

A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.

B. The dogs couldn¡¯t read strangers¡¯ facial expressions.

C. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower faces.

D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.

3.The underlined word ¡°trepidation¡± in paragraph 5 probably means ______

A. curiosity. B. horror.

C. excitement. D. doubt.

4.How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?

A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.

B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.

C. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.

D. They would only tell the emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.

An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, despite ¡°Bee¡± being unrelated to the name of the insect. ¡°Bee¡± refers to ¡°a gathering¡±, where people join together in an activity.

The National Spelling Bee, formed in 1925, was a collection of many local spelling bees, organized by Louisville. With competitions, cash prizes, and a trip to the nation¡¯s capital, it was hoped that the bee would stimulate ¡°general interest among pupils in a dull subject¡±. Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year, by successfully spelling ¡°gladiolus¡±. In 2014, there were two winners of the bee-a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history, and not since 1962. Sriam Harthwar, a 14-year-old from New York and Ansun Sujoe, a 13-year-old from Texas shared the excitement as co-champions after 22 rounds of spelling. Each took home over $30,000 in cash, scholarship and bonds.

The spelling bee has been held every year except for 1943-1945 due to World War II. Later, the Scripps Company acquired the rights to the program in 1941. The bee is held in late May or early June of each year. It is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade, reach their 15th birthday, nor won a precious National Spelling Bee. Its goal is educational; not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language.

1.When did Mark win the National Spelling Bee?

A. In 1925 B. In 1941. C. In 1962. D. In 2014.

2.What does the underlined word ¡°stimulate¡± in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. influence B. lose. C. inspire. D. show.

3.We can conclude from the text that ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.

A. Ansun is allowed to take part in the Bee again if he likes

B. the goal of the Bee is more commercial than educational

C. the Bee has already been held for ninety times

D. the first prize has been shared four times in Bee history

4.What¡¯s the purpose of writing the text?

A. To make people know a new kind of insect-spelling bee.

B. To introduce a competition about spelling words.

C. To discuss the ways of participating the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

D. To share Mark Neuhauser¡¯s pleasure of winning the competition.
