The pediatric （JL席|的） specialists told the parents to prepare for the worst.Michael kept begging for singing to his sister, but kids are not allowed in the pediatric department at St. Mary's Hospital. Karen made up her mind to take Michael to see his sister. She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into the hospital. He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognized him as a child and shouted, "Get that kid out of here now!” Karen rose up strong, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse's face. " He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!”Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny baby losing the battle to live. And he began to sing.

Without it we would not have grown into primates （灵长类动物）.Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn't competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition - the simultaneous （同时）demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light - better explains it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin's theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing （分类）take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student9s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy （妒忌）can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.1 > What does the ecological definition mainly explain?A. How to win the competition. B. What competition exactly is.C.

The degree of competition is vital to friendship.4、What does the author think of "competition”?A. Competition is certain to happen at school.B. The result of competition are out of control.C. Competition becomes fierce in high school.D. Friendship is not as important as competition at school.Text 4Most of us don't reach for that gnarled （多节的）carrots when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That's exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of eatable food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the "ugly fbod” movement, and inspired many companies to sell misshapen fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throw them in the trash.One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach to this idea. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumper truck （岳3 车）where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea 10 bring awareness to America's food waste problem. "There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste/9 he told Seeker's Laura Ling.Treuhaft isn't alone in his effort to reduce America's food waste. A Change, org last year willed for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruit and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially due to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley's, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called "Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had "some challenges sourcing the product”. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather has been more ideal. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like Imperfect Produce and Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.1、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. People usually prefer Rood-looking produce.B. Gnarled carrots mostly appear in the supermarket.C. Many companies find new business opportunities.D. Americans eat less fruit and vegetables than expected.2、Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumper truck?A. To prove his fancy idea.B. To remind people not to waste.C. To show waste can be eaten.D. To advise people lo dine in dumper truck.3、What's Josh Treuhaffs advice to reduce America's food waste?A. People should reduce the ugly food.B. People should make full use of ugly food.C. People should be more aware of food shortage.D. People should develop their potential in producing food.4、Why did Raley's stop its “Real Good after 90 days?A. Retailers, pursuing larger profit.B. Bad harvests due to bad weather.C. Lack of steady sources of produce.D. People's unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 45).
