My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the 21 day, and I washed a lot of things. Everything worked 22 , but I couldn't find 23 of my husband's socks though I had looked 24 for it.

The next morning, I got ready for 25 as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them and told them 26 we were going to do 27 .

When I turned 28 to write on the blackboard, the class burst out 29 . They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was 30 the headmaster would be in to see all this.

I asked the class to 31 , but the 32 I talked, the more they laughed. So I thought I had better pay 33 attention to them and continue to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they laughed even more.

Before long, the teacher who had the room next to 34 came to see 35 all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started 36 , too.

"Good Heavens ! "I said. "Will 37 please tell me what is so 38 ?"

"Oh, God," said the teacher, " you have a brown 39 stuck to the back of your shirt. "

The following people are expressing their thoughts (1--5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on．After that are pieces of related information (A--F) ．Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---5 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet．There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

______1．How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were． Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

______2．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

______3．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

______4．I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

______5．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"

E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin (顽童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．

Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．”The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫)．

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish，”the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that．”Paul looked at the boy in surprise， then he said again， "Would you like to take a ride in my car？”

“Oh yes，I’d love that．”

After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”

Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are？ the boy asked．

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back， but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的)brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There she is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
