comedy.Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）,it was used mainly atfestivals or weddings,and as invective.With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse,it was thought tohave combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.Fabula AtellanaFabula Atellana relied on common characters,masks,direct humor,and simple plots.They were performedby actors improvising.Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella.There were 4 main types of characters:the braggart,the greedy blockhead,the clever hunchback and the stupid old man,like modern Punch and Judyshows.Fabula TogataNamed for the clothing symbolic of the Roman people Fabula Togata had various subtypes.One was theFabula Tabernaria,named for the tavern（酒馆）where the comedys preferred

Canada.She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and usessecond-hand items as often as possible.She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use apublic toilet while away from home.Diligence and thrift are time-honored traditional Chinese virtues.Sus family is a good example of this,according to the native of Weihai,Shandong province.Although they have little formal“green”knowledge,herparents lead a very environmentally friendly life.For example,the family has used the same hair dryer for more than a decade,and Su remembers many ofher mothers clothes from as far back as kindergarten.“As long as something can still be used,my mother will notreplace it with a new item,”she said.“I frequently asked my father to bring the plastic bag back home after dumping our waste in the trash bin.Hewas unhappy,and argued that instead of making that request,I should go downstairs to dump the waste myself”she said.In another move,her father criticized her for doing too much shopping online.Eventually,they bothmade steps toward becoming better environmentalists.Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has onlybought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.Back in Canada,Su is looking forward to finding a job related to sustainable development in China after shegraduates as a computer science major in the summer.4.Which of the following best describes Su Yige?A.Conservative.B.Nostalgic.C.Economical.D.Productive.5.What can be found about Sus mother according to the third paragraph?A.She has a lot of formal green

herself to her motherlands future.D.She will come back to China to stay with her parents.COnce small farmers in Masii,a remote village in Kenya,have picked their crops,all they can do is wait until abuyer trucks through.The system works fairly well for beans and corn,but mangoes-the areas other maincrop-spoil(腐烂)more quickly.If the trader is late,they rot.However,a simple coating could change that.A company,SmartTech,has created a product that doubles theshelf life of fresh produce,enabling farmers to access far-off,larger markets.More time forfresh produce ongrocers shelves also means less food waste-a$2.6 trillion problem,according to the United Nations Food andAgriculture Organization(FAO).James Rogers,CEO of SmartTech,wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxidebarriers preventing rust(锈)have achieved for steel.Fortunately,researchers have found when plants made thejump from water to land,they developed cutin(蜡质),a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together toform a seal around the plant,helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today youll still find it across the plant kingdom.SmartTechdiscovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of thethickness of its skin,but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules(分子)on thesurface.After extensive trials,Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plantmaterial-stems,leaves and skins.The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot.And best of all,the treated produce doesnt require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,”says Rogers.“Thatmeans more money in pockets,and more food in stomachs.”But whether the company can cost-effectively reachsmall farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.8.The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to _.A.stress their need for preserving produceB.show their challenge in harvesting cropsC.express their wish to reach larger marketsD.evaluate their loss caused by slow transport9.What can we learn about SmartTechs product?A.It is financially supported by FAO.B.It is intended to replace refrigeration.C.It is designed to thicken produces skin.D.It is based on plantsown defence system.10.What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A.How to expand farms.B.How to earn more money.C.How to produce more tasty food.D.How to profit farmers in remote area.11.The main purpose of the passage is to _.A.promote a productB.present a technologyC.advertise SmartTechD.introduce James RogersDBob,a Burroughs junior high school football player,always had his mom cheering him on.He didnt playexciting positions.He played as a linebacker(中后卫球员).Sadly,he often found himself at the bottom of the piles,where everyone would jump onto each other at the end of every play.Bobs mom realized it was hard for

piles Bob would hear his mom shaking her cowbell crazily,knowing she was there for him.Bobs team finally made it to the state championship game.What exciting time to play at Busch Stadiumunder the lights!This experience made Bob appreciate all the years that his mom had sacrificed everything to gethim to practice every day,to wash his uniforms,and to never miss a game.He had to do something.On
