We’ve all had cases where we’ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption，who goes by “Dave”，recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.
In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown，so he put the return address as “Wayward Road，Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”.
When the officers opened the envelope，they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read，“Dear PD，I've been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect，Dave.”
Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent，or $3, in interest.
Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.
Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then，“Dave” could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently，guilt got the best of him，and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.
4. How much do we know about “Dave”？
A. He lives in Wayward Road，Anytown California.
B. His car probably came from Ohio at that time.
C. The police are trying to find out more about him.
D. “Dave” is of course the man’s real name indeed.
5. Why didn’t “Dave” pay for the parking ticket until recently
A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years.
B. He didn’t find it until almost half a century later.
C. He didn’t pay for it just because of procrastination.
D. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.
6. What drove “Dave” to pay for the parking ticket at last
A. A strong sense of guilt. B. Fear of being tracked by the police.
C. Worry about being fined more. D. Sudden change of his financial situation.
7. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a Story
B. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio
C. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown California
D. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking Ticket
C
Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and nonorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
8. What is probably the major concern(关注) of organic food consumers
A. Price B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Variety.
9. What is the doctors’ suggestion
A. Grow your own food. B. Reduce the use of pesticides.
C. Make sure the food is clean. D. Buy large companies’ products.
10. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food
A. It tastes better. B. It is easier to grow. C. It contains more fat. D. It is more nutritious.
11. Where does this text probably come from
A. A health magazine. B. A medical report. C. A chemistry paper. D. A menu of a restaurant.

Kevin Randall, a teacher, who teaches biology at Grandville High School, runs the environmental club at the high school, which has around 2,000 students. The club is known as the GHS Green Team, and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability(持续性).It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.
One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria. Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year. The club applied for a financial help, built recycling centers for the cafeteria, and purchased metal silverware.
And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables.(一次性用品),“and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low-hanging fruit, if you will, "Randall said.
The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state. In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria, the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus, and leads cleanups on site and out in the community. Over the years, Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels(太阳能板) on the roof of the high school.
Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake(利害攸关）when it comes to climate change.
＂And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home," Randall added, "They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change,and to spread the word, and to make sure that other students out there are learning about this just the way they are at home."
12. What is the purpose of the GHS Green Team club
A. To inspire students' love for biology. B. To finish the projects assigned by school.
C. To prepare students for their future jobs. D. To promote environmental protection.
13. What's the result of the project on school cafeteria
A. It has changed the outlook of the cafeteria. B. Students can have more fruits in the cafeteria.
C. Plastic forks are no longer used in the cafeteria. D. The school has become famous nationwide.
14. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The classification of the projects. B. The characteristics of the club.
C. The activities organized by the club. D. The future of the club.
15. What was Randall's aim by doing the work on environmental issues .
A. To educate the young. B. To get material rewards.
C. To amuse his children. D. To make himself famous.

It’s funny that you can always tell when somebody’s laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn’t really heard anything, maybe a whisper（耳语）, but when she turned around, the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked back at her teacher. Mr. Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up. He called on Billy first.
“My daddy works in a bank,” Billy said. “ I guess I want to work in a bank too. There’s lots of money in the bank.”
“ My daddy runs a company,” Emmy said. “ My daddy is the big boss. And I want to be a boss, too.”
Jodie liked it when Mr. Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row suddenly started laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbage man（清洁工 ）!” Everyone in the class laughed out loud.

Jodie felt her face turn red. Lowering her head, she felt like crying. “ Silence!” Mr. Swales said aloud. “ Being a garbage man is a difficult and useful job. Hard work done well is something to be proud of.” The teacher’s words reminded Jodie of her father’s rough hands. Her father worked so hard to support the family. How could she feel ashamed of her father Although her father’s work seemed to be a humble one, his devotion to the job would be ever lasting and encouraging. At that moment, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
