Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria,England It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air.I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep,and though it was only a short climb,I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west.I used classical techniques,translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop,to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
Timothy Smith

On her third Christmas,my daughter Jillian didn't have the energy for opening presents.At 23-months,she had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma,an aggressive tumor （肿瘤）.I didn't know how challenging the holidays could become until Jillian died.Being sorrowful became my full-time job in the following days.The pain was a wildfire in my chest and nothing could put it out.
A week before the fourth Christmas,Tom and I bought a three-foot plant that slightly resembled a Christmas tree.My adult nephew Frankie came along.We were busy decorating the tree and Frankie reached into a Christmas decoration box and pulled out a toy angel with a white gown that my aunt had crafted years before.As he lifted the angel,her hair fell out in one big bunch,just like Jillian's.
We burst into laughter.In between gasps,Frankie looked up with the angel in hand and said, "Hi,Jillian." Tom emerged from the bedroom and saw our tree, "It's small,bald and beautiful!Just like Jilly-boo.I like it."
I moved closer to Tom and he put his arm around my shoulder.Looking at the angel,I knew it would help us through the holidays.Like us,it was sad and pitiful,but full of beautiful memories of Jillian.
"Do something new." said a minister who ran a support group I went to.It's as if you must create a new space in your heart to keep it beating,despite the bleeding hole.
Tom and I were eventually able to experience the wonder of a four-year-old at Christmas.On the one-year anniversary of Jillian's death,I discovered I was pregnant.Our second daughter,Cadence,brought us back to joy and hope.Cadence is nine now,and hoping Santa will bring her a dog this year.Eleven years after Jillian's death,Christmas is almost Christmas again.

In gardens across Britain the grass has stopped growing, which is not drought-stricken. In fact, it is greener and cleaner than ever before. That is because the lawns（草坪）are actually artificial substitutes.
Britons are fascinated by lawns. Country estates（庄园）have long competed to have the most perfectly cut and polished grassland. “What you re saying in big loud capital letters, is ‘I m so terribly wealthy ,” says Fiona Davison of the RHS（皇家园林协会）. With the coming of grass-cutting machines in 1830, the middle classes joined the fun.
But now Britons have fallen in love with artificial grass. Evergreens UK, which sells the stuff, says it has seen a 120% rise in sales since 2015. Artificial grass is popular with families who have children or dogs and don t want mud dragged through their houses. It has another charm factor, too—people now see gardens as “outside rooms”—pairing carpets of artificial grass with delicately decorated seating and hot containers.
Not everyone is a fan. Artificial grass contains microplastics that ruin soil and risk flooding. A study finds earthworms gain 14% less body weight when operating under rubber, a form of artificial grass, which might not be a problem for its fans, as wormholes are regular disgusting things, but it disappoints green types. Ms Davison says a group of wildlife-loving gardeners is blooming, many having caught the bug during COVID-19 lockdowns. For example, a landscape designer says they like things less neat and try “to capture that wild element”. These eco-gardeners are influenced by rewilding projects and are more likely to be environmentalists.
While three written documents signed by many people have tried to stop artificial grass spreading, the government says regulating what people do in their backyards is wrong. The RHS is concerned about artificial gra s, but prefers persuasion to laws. “We say ‘Let a hundred flowers bloom ,” says Ms Davison.
What can be inferred from Davison s remark in paragraph 2
A. She is very rich.
B. The gardening competition is fierce.
C. Operating a cutting machine is fun.
D. High-quality grassland is greatly valued.
What possibly contributes to the popularity of artificial grass
A. Advertising campaigns.
B. Gardens new function.
C. Messy grasslands.
D. Ill-mannered children and dogs.
What does the underlined word “bug” mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Interest. B. Earthworm. C. Flower. D. Virus.
Which of the following is a suitable title of the text
A. The barrier of British grassland
B. The appeal of grassland for Britons
C. The fight to define the great British garden
D. The competition to become the best grassland
D
Surviving Hurricane Sandy Natalie Doan,14，has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway,New York.Living just a few blocks from the beach,Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. "It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special," she says.
On October 29，2012，that ocean turned fierce.That night,Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast,and Rockaway was hit especially hard.Fortunately,Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridge closed.

Today,the scars（伤痕）of destruction are still seen in Rockaway,but hope is in the air.The streets are clear,and many homes have been rebuilt. "I can't imagine living anywhere but Rockaway," Natalie declares. "My neighbourhood will be back,even stronger than before."

Exercise More
It seems like a given - you exercise,you lose weight.However,it's not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference. (40) For instance,park further away at the grocery store,take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.
