There really arent many requirements in special gardening skills -but to maximise your successes, there are a few simple guidelines for you.When to plantYoud better plant your tulip bulbs between September and November. Youll know this because your local garden center is likely to have cleared space for large buckets loaded with bulbs promising a huge variety of colourful blooms.Choosing your siteTulips look best in borders or containers, planted with greenery neighbors. As a couple of tulips tend to have a lost and lonely look to them, so either give them a patch where you can create an oasis of colour, or combine them with an area of other plants where their cheerful blooms will brighten the scene.Caring for your tulipsThe bulbs in your borders wont need much attention, except watering if the ground dries out, which rarely happens during a tulips lifetime. For extra healthy plants, give them the occasional feed when they start growing. Container grown tulips will almost certainly need watering.

In the process, the language itself is changing. There are now thought to be some 4.5 billion web pages worldwide. Some language experts predict that within 10 years English will occupy the internet but in forms very different to what we accept and recognize as English today.Thats because people who speak English as a second language already outnumber native speakers. And increasingly, they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, particularly on the internet where less attention is paid to grammar and spelling and users dont have to worry about their accent (口音).Users of Facebook already socialize in a number of different “Englishes” including Indian English, Spanish English and Korean English. While these different styles have long existed within their cultures, theyre now expanding and coming online. Technology companies are introducing newly-developed English words with products aimed at enabling users to add words that are not already in the English dictionary. And most large companies have English websites, while smaller businesses are learning that they need a common language English to reach global customers.The increasing popularity of the internet allows more languages to develop quickly.“Most people actually speak several languages its less common to only speak one,” says Mr. Munro. “English has taken its place as the worlds common language, but its not pushing out other languages.” Instead, other languages are pushing their way into English, and in the process creating something new.24.

They become popular for their videos online and then they are discovered by talent agents and gradually cause huge storms in the musical circle. Troye Sivan, a singer who is nicknamed “chuoye”, became popular on YouTube from an early age.As a popular video sharing website, YouTube has given rise to plenty of stars, creating a new celebrity culture. Providing a platform where anyone can post videos, YouTube presents the opportunity for anyone to achieve fame by simply uploading a short video. Sivan has been making YouTube videos since he was 12 to show his singing talent. In the digital age, Sivan has already developed large devoted audience online and his touching video blogs have earned him extreme popularity.A survey has showed that US teenagers are more attracted to YouTube stars, which is a surprising result. YouTube stars are judged to be more attractive, outstanding and related than traditional stars. Looking at the survey comments and feedback, teens enjoy a close and real experience with YouTube celebrities, who arent carefully directed by design. Teens also say they appreciate YouTube stars, sense of humor and risk-taking spirit, which are often limited by Hollywood stars. As a result, singers who make their first show in the traditional way no longer have a complete advantage in front of the audience. Online platforms open up a lot of doors for people. They become the best place to be discovered.28. Why is Troye Sivan mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To give an example for the topic.B. To uncover the secret of success online.C.

His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is guarding an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are banned in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Seeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people think.Among the bag makers reasons: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists do not dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.32.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.33. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Bans on plastic bags.B.

Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD.
