In the hospitalBI worked as a volunteer in a Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. My job was to help make the kids feel happy when they stayed in the hospital. Sounds interesting, right? But some people cannot understand why I did it.Let me tell you why I did volunteering. The main reason was to help create a better future for people, no matter who or where they are. In this big world, so many people need help. Look at the children in the hospital where I worked. They felt afraid and lonely facing all the difficulties because their parents also had other kids to care for. So, why not try to help as many people as possible? That was my idea.Volunteering in Africa and helping people there let me see other parts of the world. And volunteering in the hospital showed me a side of the world I did not know about before. I met people from all over the world, each with their own ideas, experiences and dreams. We got to share so much with each other and we always have a good time.I really felt close to these people.

" I can't help but feel homesick/9 said Gladys, who is studying Chinese Language and Literature at Southwest University.Gladys slowly fell in love with old Chinese poems. She thinks it's romantic that old Chinese poems spread over the mountains and travel from the past to the present with true meanings and feelings. "This is what many popular novels and online articles cannot do,“ she said.But her surprise doesn't stop here. Gladys has found that the cultural essence （文化精髓）in these poems can find readers all over the world. For example, Li Bai wrote, “ Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again（天生我材必 有用, 千金散尽还复来）Goethe, a German poet, said something quite similar - the person born with a talent is meant to use it and will find great happiness when they do. " The two poets are over a thousand years and thousands of miles apart. But great poets think in the same way,“ Gladys said.In the future, she wants to be a translator who spreads Chinese culture across a bigger stage. 58.

You can't see it from the street. We9re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just waste space, but people can use the space for growing good fresh food right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works J We grow everything in big pots and boxes -there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant's fruits and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. Sam says, “ We help to keep food production local. We don't need to buy the food from anywhere, and that saves energy. It's better for the environment（环境）”.The food from the rooftop is fresher too. " When the fruits and vegetables are ripe; we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they're really f?esh J says Sam, "I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.” 62.

The city of TorontoB. Fresh Fruits and VegetablesC. Better EnvironmentD. Rooftop Farming第二节（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）“How are you?” is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But when a person says “ How are you?”，he hopes to hear the answer "Fine J even if the person's friend isn't fine.66 They are common ways of saying "Hello" and "Hi”.Sometimes people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don't agree. I think you are wrong.” 67_It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.68 For example, when a person wants to finish talking with other people on the phone,he may say " I have to go now." Sometimes he gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door”, "Something is burning “ and so on.69 It's polite way to stop a conversation and it doesn'thurt the other person's feelings.70 This is one way of being nice to people and it's a partof the game of language.A.
