I left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband, and our 20-year-old

daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my

79-year-old mother suffered a stroke( 中风 ).Being strong and independent, she continued to live at

home with the help of social services. But she couldn’t look after the garden. I thought how wonderful

it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do

in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable

organization. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking for——Easy

Care Gardening (ECG)!

There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet

many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love

gardens and helping others.

Secondly,through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney’s North Shore

that I might not have had the chance to visit otherwise.

Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call “clients ( 客户 ) ”,but are more like friends

when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they

have to tell—the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia! I

find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their

owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each

family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.

5．Why did the author move to Sydney?

A．Her husband would work there. B．She planned to volunteer there.

C．She was very keen on adventures. D．She had to look after her sick mother.

6．What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer?

A．The popularity of ECG . B．The tips of her friends.

C．Her own experience. D．Her gardening skills.

7．What do the volunteers at ECG have in common?

A．They make friends with their clients.

B．They like to explore Sydney’s North Shore.

C．They are of similar ages and back grounds.

D．They are kind-hearted with the same interest.

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part

of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere ( 大气), because this is where the weather

forms.They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists ( 气象学家 ) can see the

weather of any part of the world.From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will

change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they

receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that

the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may

soon change, too. In their next weather forecast,the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are of great help to the meteorologists.Before satellites were invented ,

the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts

for three or five days.Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

8．The underlined word “forecast” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．say what you think will happen B．throw something in front of you

C．broadcast news reports each day D．talk with someone about something

9．Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？

A．Because the weather satellites can do it easily. B．Because clouds form there.

C．Because the weather forms there. D．Because the pictures can forecast the

weather.

10．Meteorologists forecast the weather ________.

A．as soon as they receive satellite pictures B．after they receive satellite pictures

C．before they receive satellite pictures D．while they send satellite pictures

11．Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.

A．one day B．two days C．five days D．seven days or even longer

How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen limes in

between? The technology that was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time. The

average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices, with an additional hour

just text-messaging friends.

The advantage of technological devices is connectedness. Email lets us respond on the go, and we

are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it

possible that we’re lonelier than ever, too? That’s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her

new book, Alone Together, which clearly describes our changing relationship with technology.

For Turkic, the biggest worry is the effect the weak connections have on our development.

Technology isn’t offering us the lives we want to live. “We’re texting people at a distance” says Turkic.

“We’re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And

then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone—always on our

mobile devices. It’s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human

connections.”

Moreover, communicating online is not equal to face-to-face communication. Online, you can

ignore others’ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact A number of studies have found

that this generation of young people is sympathetic ( 有同情心的) than ever. “That doesn’t lead to

disaster,” says Turkle, “but the disadvantages still cannot be ignored.”

12．From the first paragraph we can learn that .
