Love is a telephone which always keeps silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we often miss the sweetness from the other end.

Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed. You cannot get an immediate answer by a mere "hello", let alone go deep into your lover's heart by one call. Usually it had to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting. Destiny(命运) is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of playing practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.

Love is a telephone which is always busy, When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappointment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line. This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for（因…受煎熬） followers.

Love is telephone, but it is difficult to seize the center time for dialing, and you will let the opportunity slip if your call is either too early or too late.

Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Honeyed words are transmitted by sound waves, but when the lovers are brought together, the phone serves no purpose that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.

Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, makes you so nervous and excited that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number. By the time you've calmed down, you will beat a loss to whom you should make the call.

Love is a telephone which often has crossed lines. And this usually happens to you unexpectedly. Your time will either cross or be crossed. Both cases are referred to as "triangle". Fortunately, all such occurrences are transient(转瞬即逝的).

“Eat local. ” It’s one way to reduce human effect on the planet. Eating local means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close to home. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away. During the transportation, greenhouse(温室)gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment.

But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms？Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a “vertical(垂直的) farm”.

A vertical farm is a glass-walled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大楼). Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. Despommier imagines a 30-story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a city’s water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.

Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city’s waste water and fill it with nutritions to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.

The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we don’t have much land left for us,” Stringer said. “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan. ”

Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,” he says.

1.Why are people advised to eat local?

A. Because it means convenience(方便) to people.

B. Because it can help people save a lot of money.

C. Because local food has more nutrition.

D. Because it is environmentally friendly.

2.Which is one of the vertical farm’s benefits when compared with ordinary farming?

A. It produces healthier food.

B. It does less harm to the cities.

C. It needs less space of the city.

D. It requires less transport costs.

3.By saying “the sky is the limit in Manhattan”, Stringer means _____.

A. people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan

B. there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan

C. the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited

D. Manhattan can spread as far as possible

Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (剂量) down.______ 3.__ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.

When it comes to relationship, we spend a lot of time discussing their joys, but rarely talk about the pain when they break down. Yet most people have a story about a broken relationship.

For Jane Black, a six-year friendship ended when her friend was rude to one of her children. “After quite a few drinks at a party in my house, she said something rude to my child. I ended the friendship face to face at the party,” she says. “I didn’t realize what I was doing at the time, I was simply standing up for my child, but in her eyes any challenge was a betrayal.”

When Angela Thompson noticed a seven-year friendship disappearing, she let it go. “I didn’t know how to deal with the issue. I didn’t sit down for a grown-up conversation; I just walked away quietly.” The decision caused a reaction among Thompson’s other friends. “The other friends in the circle are the worst people when you are trying to break up with a friend,” she says. “They don’t want you to stop being friends, because it puts them in a difficult position. You get told to just get it over.”

Though we have plenty of measures for handling conflict at work or family fight, we still don’t have good ways of ending friendships. Do we sit down and properly break up, or just walk away? Psychologist Serena Cauchy has the following advice.

Don’t blame. Talk about your needs and feeling rather than talking like a Dutch uncle.

Do talk about your needs. Talk about why the friendship is not working for you –about how your needs aren’t being met.

Don’t gossip. Negative talk hurts everyone involved and in some cases can make matters worse.

Don’t be so accessible. If there is a common wish to conclude the friendship then you can remove it.

1.How did Angela Thompson deal with her friendship when it went wrong?

A. She ended it face to face.

B. She left it as it was.

C. She turned to her friends for advice.

D. She made a direct challenge.

2.According to the third paragraph, we learn the other friends________.

A. will help you to fix a broken friendship

B. will choose either of the sides who broke up

C. will ask you to forgive each other

D. will be the worst people to break up with you at the same time

3.Which is NOT mentioned by Psychologist Serena Cauchy?

A. End the friendship if it can’t be renewed.

B. Don’t complain behind one’s back.

C. Express what you want and expect.

D. Sincerely talk about friends’ shortcomings.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A True Friendship B. When Friendships disappear

C. How Friendships Last D. Ways to Fix Friendships

 

Worried about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone application (应用程序) MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.

MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iPhone applications. The application gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (数据库) with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.

We started with something simple—an apple. A couple of minutes later, the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.

Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.

In addition, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photoes will be stored. The users can keep a visual log (视觉的记录). Mr. Smith said, “it’s like a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. The simple act of recording something can cause a psychological (心理的) change that can help people on their health journey. Knowing the calorie range makes me think more about what I’m eating.”

1. The purpose of DailyBurn is to________.

A. help people find ways to lose weight B. make iPhone more popular

C. persuade people to buy iPhone products D. help people have a healthy life

2. What can be learned from the third paragraph?

A. MealSnap is only useful for simple things.

B. The result of MealSnap isn’t always right.

C. MealSnap can also tell what the food is.

D. MealSnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.

3. Which of the following statements about MealSnap is TRUE?

A. It has been put into the market.

B. People will have a physical change by using it.

C. It’s popular because it was developed by DailyBurn.

D. People have to link iPhone with the Internet to use it.
