Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago.
Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool
and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia could garden in the city.
"My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have
a yard，" said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia laughed. "I'll show you，"she said.
Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park，but she took her to the roof(屋顶). Maria was
surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
"What a wonderful garden! " said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the
building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants
not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.
"I plant flowers in my place，" Mrs. Garcia said，" but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up
here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the
countryside. You just have to be creative(有创造力的)! "
29. Which of the following is NOT the advantage(优势) of the community garden
A. It used the empty space well. B. It helped keep the air clean.
C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It made the building stronger.
30. After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to__________.
A. go back to the countryside B. pick flowers from the garden
C. grow vegetables on the roof D. show her around the park
31. What is the best title for this passage
A. A Rooftop Garden B. A Creative Lady
C. An Empty Roof D. A Special Building
C
Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honours an
important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to
Dr. King. Ben’s mom has a close friend, Amy. Amy’s uncle, Mark, once met and spoke to John Carter, the son of
President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King. In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin
Luther King Jr.
The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people
they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from
someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she
knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation
when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knew his mom but he hasn’t
met her close friend Amy. Therefore Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues Amy’s uncle Mark
is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben.
The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.
The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100
people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50
people and so on. When someone continues the calculation（计算） to six degrees it is like this:
100×50×50×50×50×50 = 31.25 ×10 .This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There
are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could
include everyone in the world.
Does the small-world theory work No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a
little more about their places in the world.
32 . After reading the article, do you think what connects Ben to Dr. King
A. Ben’s mom and her friend, Amy B. the small-world theory
C. Ben’s school D. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
33. Ben is four degrees away from ______.
A. Jimmy Carter B. John Carter C. Amy D. Mark
34. What is the small-world theory mainly about
A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.
B. How many people one can get to know.
C. How people are connected in the world.
D. How the degrees of separation are set up.
35. We can learn from the article that ______.
A. the small-world theory works
B. more research is needed to prove the theory
C. six degrees are needed to know the strangers
D. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places.
