阅读理解

　　When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area．But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed．He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying(腐烂)and adding humus(腐殖质)to the soil．Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer．To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer．Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land．In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants．Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil．

　　In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed．When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place．The tired land then slowly recovered．Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay．But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years．

　　It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year．If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way．Different plants have different effects on the soil．Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil．Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation(轮作)of crops．

(1)

According to the passage, the land will become poorer, ________．

[　　]

A．

if all the dead leaves are cleared away

B．

if the humus is increased after the harvest

C．

if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves

D．

if waste plant material lying about is buried

(2)

We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered ________．

[　　]

A．

when grasses and other plants appear again

B．

when the treatment is given by nature alone

C．

after new grasses and other plants have decayed again

D．

after nature has been left alone for several months

(3)

A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because ________．

[　　]

A．

the productive power of a new field isn't higher than that of an old one

B．

there are few free fields left for him to do farming

C．

it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new field

D．

there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow crops

(4)

It is most likely that the author will go on to ________ in the paragraph following the passage

above．

[　　]

A．

introduce other methods of planting crops

B．

deal with how to prevent land getting tired

C．

start another topic of how to make use of land

D．

further explain what the rotation of crops is

Dear Malia and Sasha,

　　I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have．But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart．I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey．

　　When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me－about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want．But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day．And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore．I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours．And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours．In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President：because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation．

　　I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential－schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them．I want them to have the chance to go to college－even if their parents aren't rich．And I want them to get good jobs：jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity．

　　I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer．And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other．

　　Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country－but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe．And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free－that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility．

　　That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something．

　　She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better－and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us．It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be．

　　I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had．Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much－although you do have that obligation．But because you have an obligation to yourself．Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential．

　　These are the things I want for you－to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world．And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have．That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure．

　　I am so proud of both of you．I love you more than you can ever know．And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House．

Love, Dad
