For the nights I sat up with you, looked after you. No charge
For the toys, food and clothes and wiping your nose. No charge
When you add these all up, the full cost of my love No charge

Dear Mr. Know, My 13-year-old son was in an accident several days ago. His doctors say he has no chance of seeing again. I have no experience with blind. I want to know how he may behave in the future. I want to know everything I can do to help him. Please help! Mary
Dear Mary, My son, Trey, who is nine years old, also lost his vision (视力) suddenly. Firstly, I think one of the most important things for you to do is to find other blind kids of your son’s age in your town. He will need someone to talk to that understands his situation and can give him some advice. Secondly, other kids sometimes treat your son differently, and it takes time, experience, and patience to learn the best ways of dealing with this. But if your son had another successful. Blind teenager to talk to, that person could tell him how they dealt with the same situations. Thirdly, often talk to the doctor so that they can show your son how to get around safely. Finally, learning to use assistant technology (辅助技术) and Braille (盲人用的点字法) is also important. Where I live, we have a place called Envision that offers these services. Find out the same place in your town. I hope I have been of some help. Jack

When you hear the word “farm”, you can’t help thinking of hills in the country covered with cows and cornstalks (谷类的杆). But some scientists, engineers and city planners say the farms of the future could rise straight into the air—in skyscrapers in cities.
It might sound far-fetched, but in fact, some of the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. The scientists stationed at the South Pole research station enjoy fresh salads every day from vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. And scientists have been experimenting for years with methods for growing fresh fruits and vegetables on the moon or even on Mars.
Farming indoors solves many problems. Firstly, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Secondly, cities that grow their own food also would become more self-reliant(自力更生的), and you can control everything indoors. You can’t control anything outdoors.
By the year 2050, the world population will grow by another 3 billion. Where will we grow the food for all these people The answer is “vertical(立体的) farming”—growing crops in skyscrapers tens of stories high.
11. According to Paragraph 1, farming in future will not only mean traditional farming but also farming ___________.
A. in high buildings B. in water C. on the roads D. on top of houses
12. The underlined word “far-fetched” is the closest in meaning to __________.
A. possible B. necessary C. improbable D. funny
13. The vegetables from indoors are__________.
A. fresher B. dearer C. less vulnerable(易受损的) D. more delicious
14. We can infer from the passage that________.
A. the writer doesn’t think vertical farming is a good way of farming
B. vertical farming can take the place of the traditional farming
C. farming indoors is mainly done by scientists in future
D. the main aims of farming indoors are to save land and grow more crops
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Scientists and Farms
B. Farms Grow in Cities
C. Vegetables From Vertical Farms
D. Population and Farms
D
A study shows that there are big differences among the oldest, the middle, the youngest and only children. It says that the oldest children are smart and strong-willed, and they are very likely (可能的) to be successful. The reason for this is simple. Parents often spend a lot of time on their first children. More attention is paid to the oldest children, so they are likely to do the best. Because of the same reason, only children can also become very successful like the oldest children, but they are more likely to have problems doing things.
The study also shows that the middle children often have a harder time than their brothers and sisters. They can’t get so much attention, so they seldom feel they are important. They often feel that people don’t care about them. The youngest children often get special treatment. They are the most likely to have emotional（情绪上的） problems, but at the same time, they are the most outgoing.
Do you think that this idea about birth order is true Some scientists say that the results are too general (普遍的) and not everyone is the same. They say the environment is more powerful than the birth order.
