  Mulch(护盖物;护根层)is important to farmers.Mulch is a protective cover of material that is spread on top of soil.It is usually made out of organic material, like crop waste.Farmers may keep the remains of maize or other crops on top of the soil.This creates mulch on the soil surface.The plant remains help protect the soil against wind and water damage.Mulching is one of the best things people can do for their plants.Mulch not only protects the soil against wind and water damage.It also helps keep the soil from getting too dry, and reduces the need for watering plants.It also limits temperature changes in the soil.And it stops unwanted plants, or weeds, from growing.

  Organic mulch improves the condition of soil.As the mulch breaks down, it provides material which keeps the soil from getting hard.This improves the growth of roots and increases the movement of water through the soil.It also improves the ability of the soil to hold water.Organic mulch contains nutrients for plants.It also provides a good environment for earthworms and other helpful organisms in the soil.

  The United States Department of Agriculture says it is easy to find organic mulch materials.Cut-up leaves and small pieces of tree bark can be used.Grass cuttings are also a good mulch for plants.Mulch from newspapers works well in controlling weeds.

  The best time to add mulch depends on your goal.Mulch provides a thick barrier between the soil and the air.This helps to reduce temperature changes in the soil.As a result, mulched soil will be cooler than other soil in the summer.In winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply as other soil.The best time is after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest weather arrives.Spreading mulch before the ground has frozen may attract small animals searching for a warm place to spend the winter.Delaying the spreading should prevent this problem.The animals will probably find another place to live.

B
  Are you feeling stressed out? Anxious? Is your mind racing in circles? Are you worried about all the things you have to get done? Here’s a quick-acting trick that can make you feel better.
  If you’re sitting at a desk, place the palm of your hand on the desk, and take a moment to focus on what the surface of the desk feels like. Is it hot or cold, rough or smooth? Put all of your attention on the sensations in your palm, on how the desk feels underneath your hand. If you are not at a desk, do the same exercise by placing your palm on any nearby object—a wall, a chair, even your opposite arm.
When you are feeling stressed, your thoughts tend to take on a life of their own. Yon may be thinking about things you wish you had done differently in the past or worrying about things that you have to do in the future. These thoughts will make you feel anxious. The anxiety, in turn, increases the number of anxious thoughts.
If you can ground yourself even for a moment in the present, you will break the cycle and feel instant relief. Paying attention to what objects in your environment feel like forces you to pay more attention to the present moment than to negative, anxiety-provoking thoughts about the past or about the future.
Try using your other senses too:
Try closing your eyes for a second (don’t try this while driving!) and breath deeply through your nose. What do you smell?
When eating, put all your attention on how your food tastes.
What do you hear? What little noises are there around you that you didn’t notice before?
Look closely at an ordinary object. Do you see anything you haven’t noticed before?
46.By saying “Is your mind racing in circles”, the author intends to mean that_______.
A.you did something wrong in the past and wouldn’t forgive yourself
B.your mind is quick and bright when in a state of anxiety
C.you are thinking in a stupid way when anxious thoughts worries you a lot
D.you worried a lot and the anxious thoughts will increase your anxiety
47.The author advises to put your palm on the desk or any things nearby in order to______.
A.play a small trick                B.feel the surface of the object
C.do some exercises                D.reduce your anxiety
48.The writer mentioned some senses that could be used to reduce stress except the______.
A.sense of touching            B.sense of smell
C.sense of humour            D.sense of listening
49.Which of the following can be served as a title for the passage?
A.First Aid to Anxiety—Senses.    B.How Anxiety Works.
C.The Cause of Anxiety—Senses.     D.How to Deal with Anxiety.

Miss Gogers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them,“Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?”

 Tom at once answered,“Your brother. Because electricity travaels faster than sound waves.”“That’s every good,”Miss Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers said.“Yes, Kate.”
