• 2．I'm not much of a gardener．I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow．
     A few months after our son left for the Middle East，my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs（郁金香球茎）．She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter．They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring． "When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun，you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home．They'll give you what you need most． "She walked me through the process of planting them．I thanked her--trying to show my gratitude for her gift．．
     It was a long winter-- cold and dark．I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away．Dead leaves，frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers，and I soon forgot they were there．
     Finally the weather began to warm．One day，as I walked down my front steps，I noticed an area of green．I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow，their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun．
     Day after day I noted the flowers' progress．And day after day，the time approached when my son would finally be home．Now with spring just around the corner，nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light．Almost all of those bulbs bloomed．And with each brightly colored flower，I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again．

• 3．Dog owners who lived near Chicago's Soldier Ficeld knew to watch out for the coyote（从林猴）.
     The' wild，dog-like animal' lived somewhere among the tall buildings near the football stadium.As the sun went down each evening，the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot，waiting.Within his view，people walked their dogs along a bike trail.Each night，the soyote would assault the first dog to come along.
     Dr.Stanley Gehrt，a scientist at the Ohio State University，led the team that solved the problem.Besides studying coyotes，he and his co-workers teach people ways to avoid problems with coyotes.In short，he says，Don't feed them.jye.ai manage your pets.
     The secret to the coyote's success is intelligence.To survive in the wild，a coyote must hunt small animals，and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears."This way of living creates a super-smart animal，Dr.Gehrt says.One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night b the city.
     Coyotes have also leamed to avoid their biggest killer cars.One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads.She may not know how traffic lights work，but she has learned that；the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.
     The male that charge at passing dogs near Soldiet Field is another example.Dr.Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months，and the animal had always avoided dogs.But now he and his mate had a home with young coyote on top of the parking lot nearby.He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.
     The researchers solved the problem.When the coyote pair appeared in the evening，they ran toward them，shouting and shaking a noisemaker——a coffee can with coins rattling（格格作响） inside."Usually，that's all you have to do，'' Dr.Gehrt says."You do it once，and you'll never see that coyote again.Finally，the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.
  
  （1）What troubled dog owners living near Soldier Field？

  
  A．Increasing heavy traffic.
  B．Limite space to walk their dogs.
  C．Their outdoor activity being lessened.
  D．The threat to their dogs from the coyote.
  （2）What do the underline words "assault" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Accompany.
  B．Call.
  C．Protect.
  D．Attack.
  （3）What do we know about city coyotes？

  
  A．They are not as smart as dogs .
  B．By frightening them away.
  C．They are getting used to city life.
  D．They usually hunt during the day.
  （4）How did the researchers solve the problem with the coyote pair？

  C．By catching them in the evening.
  D．By sending them away from Chicago.

• 4．A growing number of companies are making food and drink products out of things traditionally considered waste.And according to new research，consumers increasingly accept -- and even prefer--such products.
     "Consumers are actually willing to pay more for food made from surplus （剩余的） products，" says Professor Jonathan Deutsch，who led the study.Deutsch and his colleagues presented study participants with different food products.They had one of three labels，"conventional"， "organic of"value-added surplus".The third was the study's term for food normally seen as waste.Participants were not，as food companies have long assumed，disgusted by the idea of using"waste" in their food.Instead，they felt positively about the opportunity to help the environment.
     The problem of food waste has been getting more attention in recent years.Globally，up to a third of all food is damaged or lost before it can be eaten.Waste can happen anywhere along the food chain.Farms fail to harvest crops due to bad weather.Food goes bad during transport.Companies throw out trimmings （边角料） too small to use，and supermarkets reject produce for imperfect looks.Restaurants throw out food after its use-by date.
     As consumers become increasingly aware of the problem，a number of companies are betting on surplus foods.Washington，D.C.-based Misfit Juicery sells cold-pressed juices made from ugly fruits.Dutch company Barstensvol makes heat-and-eat soups from surplus vegetables.Some of these companies are meeting with major success.
     Deutsch reminds that transparency（透明度）is key when using surplus food.Consumers like the idea of helping the environment.They don't like feeling a company has something to hide.ABC News reported that meat companies often use beef trimmings in ground beef.The product is perfectly safe to eat.But its pink appearance，and the idea that the meat companies were hiding its presence from consumers，caused great anger.
  
  （1）Why are people willing to accept surplus foods？

  
  A．The foods are cheap.
  B．The foods taste good.
  C．They consider it a creative idea.
  D．They consider it an eco-friendly idea.
  （2）What can be concluded from paragraph 3？

  
  A．Food shortage is a global issue.
  B．Food waste can happen in many different ways.
  C．Food waste is caused unconsciously.
  D．Food waste has done harm to the environment
  （3）What do the examples of Misft Juicery and Barstensvol show？

  
  A．Using "waste" to make food is available commercially.
  B．Surplus foods can bring in more money for companies.
  C．Soups from surplus vegetables are easy to make.
  D．Juice made from ugly fruits tastes better.
  （4）What's Deutsch's main purpose in the last paragraph？

  
  A．To explain the meaning of consumer needs.
  B．To offer a suggestion to food companies.
  C．To stress the importance of food safety.
  D．To point out a major problem in the food industry.
