Pete usually spend his holidays travelling around the world, visiting different cities or watching animals in Africa. Now he prefers(更喜欢) to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the joy of DIY. As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea. He told me that he got most of his ideas from DIY programme on TV. DIY programmes are very popular in the UK. Nearly every channel(频道) has at least one home or garden makeover(改善) show and theres even a DIY satellite(卫星) channel.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Many people dont have enough money to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending much. DIY is the best choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home makeover in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were badly hurt by tools. I wont go down to the hardware store. Id rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!12 .

Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parents job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.Not all of Lins classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on ones mental health.“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents dont.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.17 .

The best title for this article should be _.ABrothers and sisters are good for us.BThe family planning policy is bad.CThe two-child policy helps a lot.DA new policy was made.Imagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill that large building 44 times with rotten (腐烂的) fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food is thrown away. Thats one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: Its ugly.The problem is that nature isnt perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster (怪物). But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesnt look perfect.Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, its “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Farmers are paid for food that they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans, who dont have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little.ugly?21 . What can we know from the text?AFood is thrown only because it goes bad.BFood waste is a serious problem in America.CThe uglier the food is, the better it tastes.DAmerica produces more food than Americans can eat.22 . What is the “beauty” in ugly food?AIt costs much lessBIt does much good to people.CIt is useful to hungry people.Dlt tastes better than normal-looking produce.23 . What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?AThe stores selling ugly food.BThe better names for ugly food.CThe number of hungry Americans.DThe advantage of the ugly-food movement.24 . What does the mark “.” in the last paragraph suggest?AThe writer would like to buy carrots.BNo one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly.CThe writer does not quite like the word “ugly”.DNobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly.Pass me the ball! “Some students are having a football class in a middle school in Shanghai.
