D
A sunflower is a sunflower . A mobile phone is a mobile phone . But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?
As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable (能进行生物递降分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸钾). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparent window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. "We've only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time," said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly  throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists. "The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don't have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it," said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.

“Soon，you’re going to have to move out!”cried my neighbor as soon as he saw the largest tomato plant known to mankind，or at least known in my neighborhood．

    One tiny 9-inch plant，bought for $ 1．25 in the spring．has already taken over much of my rose bed，covering much of other plants，and is well on its way to the front door．

    Roses require a good deal of care，and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give。it wouldn’t be worth the work．As it is．I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year．Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring，leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later．It was the space available (可利用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant．A big mistake．

    Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes．The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (肥料) have turned the little plant into a tall bush．The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves．

    Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold．First．I have to find the red ones among the leaves，which means I almost have to stand on my head．and once found I have to reach down and under，pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回)my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won．I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June． But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light．

  Here I am faced with a painful small decision：To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses．Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind．I'll think about that tomorrow．

What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

       A．A lot of care and the right soil．           B．Frequent pruning and fertilizing．

       C．Tomato plants grown alongside．    D．Cages placed around the roots．

The writer planted the tomato because           ．

       A．it cost only$1．25         B．the soil was just right for it

       C．there was room for it in the garden         D．the roses’branches needed to be covered

This year the writer’s roses were          ．

       A．removed from the rose bed           B．picked along with the tomatoes

       C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight  D．1argely hidden under the tomato plant

By saying“the prize so dearly won”in paragraph 5，the writer wants to        ．

       A．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

       B．show the hardship of growing the roses

       C．express her liking for the roses

       D．express her care for the tomatoes

In the situation described in the text，one good thing is that             ．

       A．the roses cost the writer little money

       B．the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes

       C．someone will help the writer make the decision

       D．the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
