How to Make an Upside-Down Tomato Planter
PROJECT OVERVIEW
WORKING TIME: 30 mins-1 hr.
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner
ESTIMATED COST: $15 to $30
Growing upside-down tomatoes is fun and easy, and making your own custom planter is a great DIY project. This unconventional approach has gained popularity due to its space-saving and disease-preventing benefits. Let’s try to grow your own tomato plant!
Be sure to hang your planter from a sturdy structure; it can easily weigh 50 pounds or more when filled with damp soil. Also, make sure your tomatoes get plenty of sun; most need at least six hours of full sun per day.
Another important consideration is the variety of tomato plants you grow upside-down. Because some large tomatoes become very heavy when ripe, and the weight of the fruit can break the planter, it’s a good idea to stick with cherry tomatoes.
What You’ll Need
Utility knife Scissors
5-gallon bucket with lid
Oilcloth or plastic tablecloth
Double-sided waterproof tape
Plastic ribbon, twine, or raffia
Potting soil
Tomato seedling
Fertilizer
Steps:
1. Carefully cut off the bottom of your bottle with the knife.
2. Roll up the garbage bag around your arm and insert it into the bottle. Once it’s placed inside, loosen the bag and try to spread it evenly within the bottle.
3. Fold the top edge of the bag over the bottle and secure it with duct tape.
4. Wrap the tomato plant with the paper towel and carefully insert it into the bottle and out through the spout (瓶口).
5. Fill the rest of the bottle with soil.
6. Wrap some twine at the spout, stretch it along the length of the body, and tape it in place.
7. Stuff some cotton balls through the bottom opening to help keep water in.
8. Hang it up in a sunny spot, water it regularly, and watch your tomatoes grow!
1．What is a primary benefit of growing tomatoes upside-down
A. They grow faster. B. They require less water.
C. They are easier to harvest. D. They have a smaller footprint.
2．What is a consideration when growing tomatoes upside-down
A. Shape of the planter. B. The color of the tomatoes.
C. The type of the tomatoes. D. The brand of fertilizer used.
3．What should you use to prevent water loss at the bottom of the planter
A. Soil. B. Garbage bag. C. Cotton balls. D. Paper towel.
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
4．According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages
A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
5．“The heyday of the snowman” （paragraph 4） means the time when___________.
A.snowmen were made mainly by artists
B.snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C.snowmen were politically criticized
D.snowmen caused damaging floods
6．In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A.the start of the parade B.the coming of a longer summer
C.the passing of the winter D.the success of tradesmen
7．What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage
A.They were appreciated in history B.They have lost their value
C.They were related to movies D.They vary in shape and size
Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard “duels” (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.
Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry (不对称) lessens if the angry person can cultivate understanding towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.
8．What does “duels” in Para. 2 show about the expression of anger
A. It varies among people. B. It has a biological basis.
C. It influences one’s thinking. D. It is socially and culturally shaped.
9．What is Para. 3 mainly about
A. Electrical activities in the brain. B. Unbalanced structure of the brain.
C. Changes spotted in an angry brain. D. Behavioural response to emotions.
10．What can be done to reduce offensive anger
A. Relate to others. B. Avoid angry situations.
C. Express anger publicly. D. Overlook feelings of anger.
11．Which of the following is typical of defensive anger
A. Shaking fists at the opponents.
B. Yelling at a cashier for a mistake.
C. Withdrawing after being teased.
D. Approaching the source of anger.
Few insects strike greater fear into the hearts of farm-owners than rosy apple aphids (蚜虫), which feed on apple trees leaves, causing them to curl up and harden. This provides shelter from pesticide sprays and a severe outbreak can reduce the yield by 80%.
To fight against rosy apple aphids, some suggest using tiny parasitoid (拟寄生物昆虫) wasps. Unlike predators that kill and eat their prey, these wasps allow their offspring to feed on and ultimately kill the host.
Females inject their eggs into rosy apple aphids after mating, and the hatching offspring consume the hosts’ organs before emerging as adults. Employing these wasps could reduce or cut out the need for chemical pesticides, saving money and helping fruit growers achieve the premium-price-generating “organic” label that prohibits such chemicals.
Using wasps for pest control has a long history but has often failed. Researchers at the Catholic University of Louvain believe this is due to a focus on the dietary needs of the flesh-eating larvae (幼虫), neglecting those of the honey-loving adults. They suggest planting flower banks beside trees to address this issue, as detailed in the Annals of Applied Biology.
To test this idea, they ran an experiment in an organic apple farm. They divided it into six plots. Three, they planted with so wildflower species. The other three they left flowerless, as controls. As aphid season approached, they attached to each of nine trees per plot a tube containing about 1,250 wasp larvae. Then they examined selected trees on a ten-day basis for aphids.
The presence of flowers, they found, was associated with a one-third reduction in aphid numbers, compared with the controls. Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop achieved with pesticide treatments, it is a proof of principle. And improved management and understanding of the wasps’ ecological needs could benefit fruit growers looking to maintain their “organic” label while still harvesting crops.
12．Why are rosy apple aphids a source of great anxiety for farmers
A. They will easily go unnoticed. B. They may cause a sharp output drop.
C. They provide shelter for bugs. D. They reproduce on apple leaves.
13．Why may farmers prefer employing wasps for pest control
A. It requires little monitoring. B. It’s convenient to operate.
C. It increases insects’ populations. D. It’s economical and eco-friendly.
14．What can be inferred from the experiment
A. Flowers can enhance aphid control.
B. Wasps can wipe out aphids completely.
C. Wasps are cheaper to apply than pesticides.
D. Flowers compete with aphids for resources.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A New Trend: Flowerless Farms
B. Chemical Pesticide: the Best Solution
C. A Sustainable Alternative: Flower Power
D. Tiny Wasps: Ecological Balance Indicator
二、七选五
16．People select news in expectation of a reward.① ________ In general, the kind of news expected to give immediate reward are news of crime, accident, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.

It has a kind of “threat value”. It is read so that the reader pull themselves into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.

For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward.④ ________ He may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party.

33．A Run to Remember
Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body. I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded suburb.
When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony(小马), had to be sold.
Feeling helpless and alone, I couldn’t eat or sleep, and I cried all of the time. I missed my family, my home and my pony. Finally, my father, realizing how much I missed my pony, purchased an old red horse for me at a local market.
My horse, Cowboy, was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. He was pigeon-toed and knock-kneed. But I didn’t care about his faults. I loved him beyond all reasons.
I joined a riding club and faced rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I never let on how I felt, but deep down inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful registered horses.
When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly out of the game. I finally realized that my only chance to compete would be in the timed-speed events. I chose barrel racing(绕桶赛), an event in which a horse and its rider attempt to complete a triangular pattern around three barrels in the fastest time.
One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.
The bitter memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑)made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month, I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(运动场地). We practiced for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home. On the way home I would be so tired; those five miles seemed twice as long.
All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the pattern of barrels, finishing the course with case.

My turn finally came. As I urged Cowboy forward, he stumbled, and almost fell, much to the delight of the other riders. I jammed my hat down on my head, stroked Cowboy's big red neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first barrel, quickly whipped around it and with perfect precision rounded the second and thundered on to the third. We tore around the final curve and shot for the finish line.
No cheers filled the air when I finished my show. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. With the sound of my heart pounding in my ears, I heard the announcer call our time. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her proud fancy horse! I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the master of my own destiny.

How to Make an Upside-Down Tomato Planter
PROJECT OVERVIEW
WORKING TIME: 30 mins-1 hr.
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner
ESTIMATED COST: $15 to $30
Growing upside-down tomatoes is fun and easy, and making your own custom planter is a great DIY project. This unconventional approach has gained popularity due to its space-saving and disease-preventing benefits. Let’s try to grow your own tomato plant!
Be sure to hang your planter from a sturdy structure; it can easily weigh 50 pounds or more when filled with damp soil. Also, make sure your tomatoes get plenty of sun; most need at least six hours of full sun per day.
Another important consideration is the variety of tomato plants you grow upside-down. Because some large tomatoes become very heavy when ripe, and the weight of the fruit can break the planter, it’s a good idea to stick with cherry tomatoes.
What You’ll Need
Utility knife Scissors
5-gallon bucket with lid
Oilcloth or plastic tablecloth
Double-sided waterproof tape
Plastic ribbon, twine, or raffia
Potting soil
Tomato seedling
Fertilizer
Steps:
1. Carefully cut off the bottom of your bottle with the knife.
2. Roll up the garbage bag around your arm and insert it into the bottle. Once it’s placed inside, loosen the bag and try to spread it evenly within the bottle.
3. Fold the top edge of the bag over the bottle and secure it with duct tape.
4. Wrap the tomato plant with the paper towel and carefully insert it into the bottle and out through the spout (瓶口).
5. Fill the rest of the bottle with soil.
6. Wrap some twine at the spout, stretch it along the length of the body, and tape it in place.
7. Stuff some cotton balls through the bottom opening to help keep water in.
8. Hang it up in a sunny spot, water it regularly, and watch your tomatoes grow!
1．What is a primary benefit of growing tomatoes upside-down
A. They grow faster. B. They require less water.
C. They are easier to harvest. D. They have a smaller footprint.
2．What is a consideration when growing tomatoes upside-down
A. Shape of the planter. B. The color of the tomatoes.
C. The type of the tomatoes. D. The brand of fertilizer used.
3．What should you use to prevent water loss at the bottom of the planter
A. Soil. B. Garbage bag. C. Cotton balls. D. Paper towel.
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
4．According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages
A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
5．“The heyday of the snowman” （paragraph 4） means the time when___________.
A.snowmen were made mainly by artists
B.snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C.snowmen were politically criticized
D.snowmen caused damaging floods
6．In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A.the start of the parade B.the coming of a longer summer
C.the passing of the winter D.the success of tradesmen
7．What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage
A.They were appreciated in history B.They have lost their value
C.They were related to movies D.They vary in shape and size
Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard “duels” (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.
Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry (不对称) lessens if the angry person can cultivate understanding towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.
8．What does “duels” in Para. 2 show about the expression of anger
A. It varies among people. B. It has a biological basis.
C. It influences one’s thinking. D. It is socially and culturally shaped.
9．What is Para. 3 mainly about
A. Electrical activities in the brain. B. Unbalanced structure of the brain.
C. Changes spotted in an angry brain. D. Behavioural response to emotions.
10．What can be done to reduce offensive anger
A. Relate to others. B. Avoid angry situations.
C. Express anger publicly. D. Overlook feelings of anger.
11．Which of the following is typical of defensive anger
A. Shaking fists at the opponents.
B. Yelling at a cashier for a mistake.
C. Withdrawing after being teased.
D. Approaching the source of anger.
Few insects strike greater fear into the hearts of farm-owners than rosy apple aphids (蚜虫), which feed on apple trees leaves, causing them to curl up and harden. This provides shelter from pesticide sprays and a severe outbreak can reduce the yield by 80%.
To fight against rosy apple aphids, some suggest using tiny parasitoid (拟寄生物昆虫) wasps. Unlike predators that kill and eat their prey, these wasps allow their offspring to feed on and ultimately kill the host.
Females inject their eggs into rosy apple aphids after mating, and the hatching offspring consume the hosts’ organs before emerging as adults. Employing these wasps could reduce or cut out the need for chemical pesticides, saving money and helping fruit growers achieve the premium-price-generating “organic” label that prohibits such chemicals.
Using wasps for pest control has a long history but has often failed. Researchers at the Catholic University of Louvain believe this is due to a focus on the dietary needs of the flesh-eating larvae (幼虫), neglecting those of the honey-loving adults. They suggest planting flower banks beside trees to address this issue, as detailed in the Annals of Applied Biology.
To test this idea, they ran an experiment in an organic apple farm. They divided it into six plots. Three, they planted with so wildflower species. The other three they left flowerless, as controls. As aphid season approached, they attached to each of nine trees per plot a tube containing about 1,250 wasp larvae. Then they examined selected trees on a ten-day basis for aphids.
The presence of flowers, they found, was associated with a one-third reduction in aphid numbers, compared with the controls. Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop achieved with pesticide treatments, it is a proof of principle. And improved management and understanding of the wasps’ ecological needs could benefit fruit growers looking to maintain their “organic” label while still harvesting crops.
12．Why are rosy apple aphids a source of great anxiety for farmers
A. They will easily go unnoticed. B. They may cause a sharp output drop.
C. They provide shelter for bugs. D. They reproduce on apple leaves.
13．Why may farmers prefer employing wasps for pest control
A. It requires little monitoring. B. It’s convenient to operate.
C. It increases insects’ populations. D. It’s economical and eco-friendly.
14．What can be inferred from the experiment
A. Flowers can enhance aphid control.
B. Wasps can wipe out aphids completely.
C. Wasps are cheaper to apply than pesticides.
D. Flowers compete with aphids for resources.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A New Trend: Flowerless Farms
B. Chemical Pesticide: the Best Solution
C. A Sustainable Alternative: Flower Power
D. Tiny Wasps: Ecological Balance Indicator
二、七选五
16．People select news in expectation of a reward.① ________ In general, the kind of news expected to give immediate reward are news of crime, accident, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.

It has a kind of “threat value”. It is read so that the reader pull themselves into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.

For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward.④ ________ He may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party.

33．A Run to Remember
Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body. I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded suburb.
When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony(小马), had to be sold.
Feeling helpless and alone, I couldn’t eat or sleep, and I cried all of the time. I missed my family, my home and my pony. Finally, my father, realizing how much I missed my pony, purchased an old red horse for me at a local market.
My horse, Cowboy, was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. He was pigeon-toed and knock-kneed. But I didn’t care about his faults. I loved him beyond all reasons.
I joined a riding club and faced rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I never let on how I felt, but deep down inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful registered horses.
When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly out of the game. I finally realized that my only chance to compete would be in the timed-speed events. I chose barrel racing(绕桶赛), an event in which a horse and its rider attempt to complete a triangular pattern around three barrels in the fastest time.
One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.
The bitter memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑)made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month, I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(运动场地). We practiced for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home. On the way home I would be so tired; those five miles seemed twice as long.
All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the pattern of barrels, finishing the course with case.

My turn finally came. As I urged Cowboy forward, he stumbled, and almost fell, much to the delight of the other riders. I jammed my hat down on my head, stroked Cowboy's big red neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first barrel, quickly whipped around it and with perfect precision rounded the second and thundered on to the third. We tore around the final curve and shot for the finish line.
No cheers filled the air when I finished my show. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. With the sound of my heart pounding in my ears, I heard the announcer call our time. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her proud fancy horse! I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the master of my own destiny.
