I was extremely tired from staying up late the night before because I was so anxious for the big day. I dragged myself out of my bed to do my normal routine.

When you read a book for a second time, you meet an old friend.Saihanba is a green miracle passed on from generation to generation.The Saihanba Forest Farm is the world's largest manmade forest, a 750-square-kilometer barrier (屏障)，300 kilometers north of Beijing, planted to save the Chinese capital from desertification (the gradual change of habitable land into desert, which is usually caused by climate change or by destructive use of the land).Today, overlooking the sea of green, it would be hard to imagine that a half century ago, the area was wasteland.The big change began 59 years ago with the effort of a group of foresters and engineers who were determined to turn the area into a forest. In 1962, the Ministry of Forestry Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm was formally established. Some 369 young people from different parts of the countiy went all the way north to Saihanba.Food and shelter was in short supply, so the group grew their own potatoes and corn and set up simple shelters and tents, sometimes using only brunches and straw that gave little shelter from the freezing wind.In (he beginning, planting trees on the very cold highland was an impossible task due to the high winds. Over 90 percent of the young seedlings planted in the first two years died and the forest farm was nearly shut down. After trying different ways of planting trees, the survival rate of the newly planted young trees topped 90 percent in 1964.Planting trees is not enough. Carefully protecting the woods and managing well (he whole forest farm is even harder. That is what later generations will do.During fire prevention periods in spring and autumn, they check the vast expanse of forest every 15 minutes during the day, and once an hour at night.Now as third-generation tree planters in Saihanba, they need to solve even more difficult problems in the never-ending effort of planting more trees. Since there is much less flat land left for planting trees, they have to work on the rocky mountain slopes （斜坡）where the topsoil is only 10 centimeters thick. But before giving the young trees a home, they need to dig holes about 40 centimeters deep.Three generations of hard work have turned Saihanba from a nascent （新生的）stand of trees into a million acres of forest, from a desert into an oasis.27. The author showed the difficulty of planting trees in Saihanba by.A. telling storiesB. showing causesC. listing numbersD. giving examplesFrom the passage we know that Saihanba Forest Farm.A. was changed by 369 engineersused to be a 750-square-kilometer farmB. provided good living conditions for people therewas turned into the world's largest manmade forest28. The passage is mainly about.A. how people created a green miraclewhy it was hard to manage the forest wellB. what people did to deal with climate changewhat measures were taken to protect the capitalDThere has recently been a lot of arguments about homework. As a teacher, I strongly believe in the benefits of quality homework. Besides preparing students for university life, it teaches important life skills that will benefit students fbr the rest of （heir lives.Some people argue that homework is causing stress and depression to rise in children. But to blame homework for these health problems is wrong. Social pressures cause more stress fbr teenagers than homework. If people arc really concerned about the health of students, they would spend more time solving the problems （hat cause pressure in schools rather than complaining about homework.In addition, those who are opposed lo homework believe that students end up hating the time spent instead of enjoying learning. However, the problem is the type of homework being assigned （布置）.It is the quality not quantity （数量）of homework that will improve students' learning and their enjoyment. Repetitive worksheets where students memorize historical dates and names or solve math problems over and over again are less beneficial than more creative project-based homework.Primary students will eventually be in middle and high school where homework will be assigned. If they have no preparation in primary schools, they will have the stress of suddenly trying to adjust to life with homework later. The important thing is to assign just enough homework to help students learn.In fact, homework allows parents to be aware of what their child is doing at school and how well their academic and thinking skills are developing. If they notice that their child is taking an unreasonable amount of time completing their homework, parents can call the teacher's attention to the problem.Finally, homework helps to teach students important study and life skills that will set them up for future success. They learn how to manage their time so that they can finish their homework and other activities. At times, they might struggle to complete the homework, but by working through it, （hey learn not to give up. These are skills that will not only benefit them in their academic life but in their adult lives as well.We should recognize quality homework can help （o show children the connection between what they are learning in school and how it can be applied outside of schools, and it should allow the students to have fun while doing it. Learning should not only be contained within a classroom; it should be extended to all areas of our lives. 31.
