Starting a Garden: What You Need to Know
Access to quality whole foods is becoming increasingly challenging for many. Rising costs and concerns about food quality and safety have prompted many individuals to turn to backyard gardens as a solution. The process of starting a garden, however, is not as daunting as some might think. Regardless of whether you possess a spacious yard or just a small balcony, anyone can learn to cultivate fresh food at home.
Before embarking on this rewarding journey, there are several key considerations to bear in mind.

During the years that passed from I was born until my siblings and myself moved away from home, my mother didn’t have a job. If she had been asked to fill out a questionnaire about her personal data, she would have left the question ‘Employment’ empty. She believed that her job was to be our mother – full time. That was the way she had chosen it to be.
There is an old yellowed photograph of my mother and father, taken in 1942, when they were on their honeymoon. They are sitting at a table in a restaurant. My father is a soldier and is wearing his uniform. When I look at the photo, I see a woman who would have had an unlimited number of opportunities in life. She is more than just pretty; it is clear to see that she is both intelligent and vivid. I know that if she had put her mind to getting a career, the whole world would have been at her feet.
Yet she has always contemplated herself as house wife and mother. Everyone in the town we grew up in admired her for the great effort she put into charity work, but if someone asked her what she did for a living or who she was, she answered that she was Robert Greene’s wife, and Robert’s, Deborah’s and Timothy’s mother.
The thing I remember best from my childhood is how it felt to come home from school. She was always there and when we swarmed through the kitchen door, she was putting dinner on the table. Why should an intelligent and determined woman be content with making soup and sandwiches I don’t know the answer myself. But it must have been good for something when I, so many years later, still remember how it felt to rush through the kitchen door – and there was mum, waiting for us.
We all go through our adult life with the conception that we have never been anything but fully developed grown-ups. But we have; Many of us have been small children once, who hurried home from school completely assured that someone was waiting for us at home. It meant something then and it means something today. And I am eternally grateful that the woman in the yellowed photograph was waiting for me.

A. She believed that her job was to work full-time outside the home.
B. She believed that her job was to raise her children and be a housewife.

D. She believed that her job was to pursue a successful career.

B. She had many opportunities in life.
C. She did not enjoy her honeymoon.
D. She did not have a happy marriage.
How did the author feel about his mother's choice to be a housewife and mother

B. He was indifferent to her choice.
C. He was puzzled and uncertain about her decision.
D. He strongly disagreed with her decision.

C. seeing his mother's old yellowed photograph
D. admiring his mother for her charity work
C
Aside from retirements, poor working conditions are the leading reasons nurses leave health care employment, according to a new study. The findings come at a time when hospital executives cite staffing problems as their most pressing concern.
“Prior studies evaluate nurses’ intentions to leave their job. Our study is one of the few evaluating why nurses actually left health care employment entirely,” says K. Jane Muir, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR), associate fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute for Health Economics, and lead author of the study published in JAMA Network Open.
Closely behind retirements, insufficient staffing, burnout, and poor work-life balance topped the list. Among retired nurses in the study, only 59% stated their retirement was planned, suggesting nearly half of nurse retirements are premature exits due to poor working conditions.
“Nurses are not principally leaving for personal reasons, like going back to school or because they lack resilience. They are leaving because of the work environment,” Muir says. “If we want to retain nurses, we need to address these issues.”
The study, which surveyed over 20,000 nurses who left their jobs in the past two years, provides a comprehensive look at why nurses are exiting the health care field. It also offers insights into how hospitals and other health care organizations can improve retention rates.
What is the main reason for nurses leaving their health care employment according to the new study
A. Personal reasons such as going back to school.
B. Poor working conditions.
C. Lack of resilience.
D. Unsatisfactory salary.
What does the word "premature" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Unexpected.
B. Unexpectedly early.
C. Unusually late.
D. Unsatisfactory.
What does Muir suggest hospitals should do to retain nurses
A. Increase their salary.
B. Provide more training opportunities.
C. Address issues related to the work environment.
D. Encourage nurses to plan their retirement.
The study mentioned in the last paragraph mainly aims to _______.
A. evaluate nurses’ job satisfaction
B. investigate nurses’ retirement plans
C. provide insights into how to improve nurse retention rates
D. analyze the reasons for nurses’ burnout
D
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Georgia has revealed a significant improvement in the dietary quality of children who consume school-prepared lunches compared to those who rely on home-prepared meals. The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, focused on the nutritional guidelines set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
According to Travis Smith, associate professor in the agricultural and applied economics department at the University of Georgia and lead author of the study, the overall quality of children's diets noticeably improves when they eat school meals. Smith emphasizes that the increase in Healthy Eating Index (HEI) points is particularly higher among non-Hispanic Black students and those from lower-income households. However, it's worth noting that the baseline dietary quality at home for these groups is relatively lower, contributing to the significant jump in HEI scores.
The study found that if all children consumed school meals instead of home-prepared lunches, the disparity in their HEI scores would disappear. All students exhibited an improvement in their HEI scores, with those from low-income households showing a 10.34% increase over their at-home dietary scores. Nevertheless, the most remarkable improvement was observed among non-Hispanic Black students, who exhibited a 16% increase in their healthy eating scores compared to their at-home scores.
Smith attributes this significant improvement to several factors, including the baseline diet and the beneficial aspects of school lunches. He explains that an increase in whole grains consumption was the primary contributor to a healthier diet, followed closely by a decrease in saturated fat intake.
The findings of this study highlight the crucial role of school meals in promoting healthy eating habits among children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. By adhering to the nutritional guidelines of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, schools can significantly enhance the dietary quality of their students and contribute to their overall health and well-being.
What is the main finding of the study conducted by researchers at the University of Georgia
A. Children prefer school-prepared lunches to home-prepared meals.
B. School meals significantly improve children's dietary quality.
C. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has no impact on children's eating habits.
D. Non-Hispanic White students benefit the most from school lunches.
According to Travis Smith, why do non-Hispanic Black students and those from lower-income households show a higher increase in HEI points
A. They consume more whole grains and less saturated fat.
B. Their baseline dietary quality at home is relatively lower.
C. They are more likely to eat school meals than home-prepared lunches.
D. They receive additional nutritional education at school.
Which factor contributed most to the improvement in children's dietary quality
A. An increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
B. A decrease in the intake of processed foods.
C. An increase in whole grains consumption.
D. A reduction in the use of artificial sweeteners.
What is the significance of the findings of this study
A. It highlights the need for more nutritional education in schools.
B. It emphasizes the importance of home-prepared meals for children.
C. It underscores the role of schools in promoting healthy eating habits among children.
D. It calls for a revision of the nutritional guidelines set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.

In the modern world, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. 36From smartphones to laptops, we rely on technology to keep us connected, informed, and entertained.

Once upon a time, 33 years ago, we were a diverse group of individuals who shared a daily bus ride during that summer. 41 the early morning trip from the suburbs, we sat, half-asleep, with our collars pulled up to our ears, a rather glum collection. Among us was a small, grey-haired man who regularly took the bus to the 42 center for the elderly. He walked with a stoop and a sorrowful expression as he boarded the bus with difficulty and sat alone behind the driver. Seldom did anyone pay him much 43.
Then, one July morning, he greeted the driver with a "Good morning" and a smile before taking his seat. The driver nodded cautiously, while the rest of us remained 44. The following day, the old man boarded the bus with more energy, smiling broadly and exclaiming in a loud voice, "And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, 45, and murmured a "Good morning" in return.
Over the next few weeks, we became more 46. Our friend now wore a nice, old suit and a wide, outdated tie. His thinning hair had been meticulously combed. He greeted us daily, and gradually, we started nodding and engaging in 47 with each other.
One particular morning, he held a bouquet of wild flowers in his hand. They were slightly wilted due to the heat. The driver turned around, smiling, and joked, "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie " We never knew if his name was truly "Charlie," but he nodded bashfully and 48 yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped in49. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before settling into his seat.
As the summer drew to a close and autumn began to settle in, one morning Charlie was not waiting at his usual stop. When he failed to appear the next day and the day after, we began to 50 if he was ill or, hopefully, enjoying a vacation somewhere. Although none of us had discussed it, all those who had been so deeply 51 by him that summer found ourselves sitting in silence, 52 his absence.
Each day, as the bus passed his usual stop, our eyes 53 scanned the empty pavement, searching for any sign of him. The driver, too, seemed to miss the old man's cheerful greeting and would often comment on his 54.
Weeks passed, and Charlie remained 55. The summer memories of his smile and the wild flowers he once held faded, but the impact he had made on our daily bus ride never did.

However, it's worth noting that the baseline dietary quality at home for these groups is relatively lower, contributing to the significant jump in HEI scores.”可知，Travis Smith强调，非西班牙裔黑人学生和低收入家庭学生的健康饮食指数得分增加幅度特别高。然而，值得注意的是，这些群体在家中的基本饮食质量相对较低，这导致了健康饮食指数得分的显著增加。因此，正确答案是B，即他们在家的基本饮食质量相对较低。
3.【答案】C
【解析】根据文中的描述，“He explains that an increase in whole grains consumption was the primary contributor to a healthier diet, followed closely by a decrease in saturated fat intake.”可知，Smith解释说，全谷物摄入量的增加是更健康饮食的主要贡献因素，其次是饱和脂肪摄入量的减少。因此，对改善儿童饮食质量贡献最大的因素是增加全谷物摄入量，即选项C。

During the years that passed from I was born until my siblings and myself moved away from home, my mother didn’t have a job. If she had been asked to fill out a questionnaire about her personal data, she would have left the question ‘Employment’ empty. She believed that her job was to be our mother – full time. That was the way she had chosen it to be.
There is an old yellowed photograph of my mother and father, taken in 1942, when they were on their honeymoon. They are sitting at a table in a restaurant. My father is a soldier and is wearing his uniform. When I look at the photo, I see a woman who would have had an unlimited number of opportunities in life. She is more than just pretty; it is clear to see that she is both intelligent and vivid. I know that if she had put her mind to getting a career, the whole world would have been at her feet.
Yet she has always contemplated herself as house wife and mother. Everyone in the town we grew up in admired her for the great effort she put into charity work, but if someone asked her what she did for a living or who she was, she answered that she was Robert Greene’s wife, and Robert’s, Deborah’s and Timothy’s mother.
The thing I remember best from my childhood is how it felt to come home from school. She was always there and when we swarmed through the kitchen door, she was putting dinner on the table. Why should an intelligent and determined woman be content with making soup and sandwiches I don’t know the answer myself. But it must have been good for something when I, so many years later, still remember how it felt to rush through the kitchen door – and there was mum, waiting for us.
We all go through our adult life with the conception that we have never been anything but fully developed grown-ups. But we have; Many of us have been small children once, who hurried home from school completely assured that someone was waiting for us at home. It meant something then and it means something today. And I am eternally grateful that the woman in the yellowed photograph was waiting for me.

B. She believed that her job was to raise her children and be a housewife.

Aside from retirements, poor working conditions are the leading reasons nurses leave health care employment, according to a new study. The findings come at a time when hospital executives cite staffing problems as their most pressing concern.
“Prior studies evaluate nurses’ intentions to leave their job. Our study is one of the few evaluating why nurses actually left health care employment entirely,” says K. Jane Muir, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR), associate fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute for Health Economics, and lead author of the study published in JAMA Network Open.
Closely behind retirements, insufficient staffing, burnout, and poor work-life balance topped the list. Among retired nurses in the study, only 59% stated their retirement was planned, suggesting nearly half of nurse retirements are premature exits due to poor working conditions.
“Nurses are not principally leaving for personal reasons, like going back to school or because they lack resilience. They are leaving because of the work environment,” Muir says. “If we want to retain nurses, we need to address these issues.”
The study, which surveyed over 20,000 nurses who left their jobs in the past two years, provides a comprehensive look at why nurses are exiting the health care field. It also offers insights into how hospitals and other health care organizations can improve retention rates.
What is the main reason for nurses leaving their health care employment according to the new study
A. Personal reasons such as going back to school.
B. Poor working conditions.
C. Lack of resilience.
D. Unsatisfactory salary.
What does the word "premature" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Unexpected.
B. Unexpectedly early.
C. Unusually late.
D. Unsatisfactory.
What does Muir suggest hospitals should do to retain nurses
A. Increase their salary.
B. Provide more training opportunities.
C. Address issues related to the work environment.
D. Encourage nurses to plan their retirement.
The study mentioned in the last paragraph mainly aims to _______.
A. evaluate nurses’ job satisfaction
B. investigate nurses’ retirement plans
C. provide insights into how to improve nurse retention rates
D. analyze the reasons for nurses’ burnout
D
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Georgia has revealed a significant improvement in the dietary quality of children who consume school-prepared lunches compared to those who rely on home-prepared meals. The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, focused on the nutritional guidelines set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
According to Travis Smith, associate professor in the agricultural and applied economics department at the University of Georgia and lead author of the study, the overall quality of children's diets noticeably improves when they eat school meals. Smith emphasizes that the increase in Healthy Eating Index (HEI) points is particularly higher among non-Hispanic Black students and those from lower-income households. However, it's worth noting that the baseline dietary quality at home for these groups is relatively lower, contributing to the significant jump in HEI scores.
The study found that if all children consumed school meals instead of home-prepared lunches, the disparity in their HEI scores would disappear. All students exhibited an improvement in their HEI scores, with those from low-income households showing a 10.34% increase over their at-home dietary scores. Nevertheless, the most remarkable improvement was observed among non-Hispanic Black students, who exhibited a 16% increase in their healthy eating scores compared to their at-home scores.
Smith attributes this significant improvement to several factors, including the baseline diet and the beneficial aspects of school lunches. He explains that an increase in whole grains consumption was the primary contributor to a healthier diet, followed closely by a decrease in saturated fat intake.
The findings of this study highlight the crucial role of school meals in promoting healthy eating habits among children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. By adhering to the nutritional guidelines of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, schools can significantly enhance the dietary quality of their students and contribute to their overall health and well-being.
What is the main finding of the study conducted by researchers at the University of Georgia
A. Children prefer school-prepared lunches to home-prepared meals.
B. School meals significantly improve children's dietary quality.
C. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has no impact on children's eating habits.
D. Non-Hispanic White students benefit the most from school lunches.
According to Travis Smith, why do non-Hispanic Black students and those from lower-income households show a higher increase in HEI points
A. They consume more whole grains and less saturated fat.
B. Their baseline dietary quality at home is relatively lower.
C. They are more likely to eat school meals than home-prepared lunches.
D. They receive additional nutritional education at school.
Which factor contributed most to the improvement in children's dietary quality
A. An increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
B. A decrease in the intake of processed foods.
C. An increase in whole grains consumption.
D. A reduction in the use of artificial sweeteners.
What is the significance of the findings of this study
A. It highlights the need for more nutritional education in schools.
B. It emphasizes the importance of home-prepared meals for children.
C. It underscores the role of schools in promoting healthy eating habits among children.
D. It calls for a revision of the nutritional guidelines set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Once upon a time, 33 years ago, we were a diverse group of individuals who shared a daily bus ride during that summer. 41 the early morning trip from the suburbs, we sat, half-asleep, with our collars pulled up to our ears, a rather glum collection. Among us was a small, grey-haired man who regularly took the bus to the 42 center for the elderly. He walked with a stoop and a sorrowful expression as he boarded the bus with difficulty and sat alone behind the driver. Seldom did anyone pay him much 43.
Then, one July morning, he greeted the driver with a "Good morning" and a smile before taking his seat. The driver nodded cautiously, while the rest of us remained 44. The following day, the old man boarded the bus with more energy, smiling broadly and exclaiming in a loud voice, "And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, 45, and murmured a "Good morning" in return.
Over the next few weeks, we became more 46. Our friend now wore a nice, old suit and a wide, outdated tie. His thinning hair had been meticulously combed. He greeted us daily, and gradually, we started nodding and engaging in 47 with each other.
One particular morning, he held a bouquet of wild flowers in his hand. They were slightly wilted due to the heat. The driver turned around, smiling, and joked, "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie " We never knew if his name was truly "Charlie," but he nodded bashfully and 48 yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped in49. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before settling into his seat.
As the summer drew to a close and autumn began to settle in, one morning Charlie was not waiting at his usual stop. When he failed to appear the next day and the day after, we began to 50 if he was ill or, hopefully, enjoying a vacation somewhere. Although none of us had discussed it, all those who had been so deeply 51 by him that summer found ourselves sitting in silence, 52 his absence.
Each day, as the bus passed his usual stop, our eyes 53 scanned the empty pavement, searching for any sign of him. The driver, too, seemed to miss the old man's cheerful greeting and would often comment on his 54.
Weeks passed, and Charlie remained 55. The summer memories of his smile and the wild flowers he once held faded, but the impact he had made on our daily bus ride never did.

However, it's worth noting that the baseline dietary quality at home for these groups is relatively lower, contributing to the significant jump in HEI scores.”可知，Travis Smith强调，非西班牙裔黑人学生和低收入家庭学生的健康饮食指数得分增加幅度特别高。然而，值得注意的是，这些群体在家中的基本饮食质量相对较低，这导致了健康饮食指数得分的显著增加。因此，正确答案是B，即他们在家的基本饮食质量相对较低。
3.【答案】C
【解析】根据文中的描述，“He explains that an increase in whole grains consumption was the primary contributor to a healthier diet, followed closely by a decrease in saturated fat intake.”可知，Smith解释说，全谷物摄入量的增加是更健康饮食的主要贡献因素，其次是饱和脂肪摄入量的减少。因此，对改善儿童饮食质量贡献最大的因素是增加全谷物摄入量，即选项C。

This festival is celebrated with much enthusiasm and joy, as families reunite to share a meal and exchange greetings. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, music, and the bright colors of fireworks. The Spring Festival symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and prosperity.

作文（二）续写
续写答案示例：
Paragraph 1:
After the operation, the doctor learned that the woman was his elementary school teacher. He was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. Memories of his youth came flooding back. It was she who had trusted him with his first job, teaching him the value of hard work and honesty. As he stood there, looking down at the woman who had once been his teacher, he realized that it was her influence that had shaped him into the man and doctor he was today. Tears welled up in his eyes as he grasped the profound impact she had had on his life.
Paragraph 2:
The woman noticed the doctor's agitation and asked him, "Why are you crying " The doctor looked up, his eyes filled with emotion. "Madam, it's you," he said, his voice trembling. "You were my first teacher. It was you who gave me my first job and taught me the importance of hard work and honesty. Without your guidance, I would not be the doctor I am today. I owe you so much." The woman smiled, tears in her eyes as well. She reached out and gently patted his hand. "Howard," she said, "I'm so proud of you. You've grown into a fine young man, and a brilliant doctor. I'm just glad I could be a part of your journey."
