A very unique farm LetUs Grow Hydroponics in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticidefree produce allyearlong on a hydroponic farm (the plants are grown in water and not soil) and housed in an originated school building.But that's not the only thing that makes it oneofakind. You can make purchases directly from a drivethrough window without ever leaving your car. Every Thursday, there is a line of cars waiting to purchase these fresh, just picked vegetables from the farm. The farm is the brainchild of June and Jan Nel and was started in 2019.“I think when my husband first said let's grow lettuce (生菜)inside an old school building/ I did not really think that it would bee what it has J June Nel said.Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away. The Nels are changing the face of veggies for people of this town.The idea to change the no longer used Stewart Hawke school came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids for the building in 2018. The family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month.They set up their pany. And it has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local. "It's not two weeks old; it hasn't traveled across the country or across the world J June said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have merited on our vegetables, it actually still tastes fresh when you get it.”Now, LetUs Grow Hydroponics offers delivery, pickup and drivethrough options for the local munity and the Nels hope to expand their operation. Who imagined that an unused school building could be repurposed from growing young minds to growing food?4. Where is LetUs Grow Hydroponics located?A. In the suburb of Saskatchewan.B.

Which of the following words can be used to describe the Nels?A. Generous and considerate.B. Creative and ambitious.C Kind and hardworking.D. Determined and talented.7. Which of the following can best cover the main idea of this passage?A. A hydroponic farm offers all kinds of vegetables in Saskatchewan.8.

A Canadian hydroponic farm has a drivethrough for fresh vegetables.CYou've probably heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine.edy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using standup edy to help treat people struggling with depression and anxiety in partnership with the NHS.The idea stemmed from edian Angie Belcher's experiences of teaching edy at Bristol University. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient （，恢复力强的）they were thanks to standup edy.Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a sixweek edy course for patients struggling with depression in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, edy on Referral won NHS funding to help men at risk of killing themselves in London.Belcher will work alongside psychologists and men who have experienced selfkilling events to use edy as a form of therapy (疗法).Talking to The Bristol Post, Belcher said, “Past depressions are perfect fbr edy. edy doesn't e from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who've been through big life experiences such as the death of a close relation and ill health often can't wait to tell me their story, mostly because there's always something strangely funny about the situation.”Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (chemicals making you feel relaxed).It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as shortterm cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using edy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.8. Why is the saying used at the beginning of the text?A. To attract readers9 attention.B. To introduce the topic.C. To demonstrate a theory.D. To present a statement.9. What did teaching edy inspire Angie Belcher to do?A. She set up a new pany for the struggling patients.B. She took an effort to run after the success of her course.C. She created a sixweek edy course for related patients.D. She raised money to help men at risk of killing themselves.10. What is the benefit of the research on laughter?A. Bringing the depressed at ease.B. Making struggling patients energetic.C. Building up the patients5 willpower.D. Ensuring the patients to be painfree.11. What is probably the best title of this text?A. Using Standup edy Improves WellbeingB. Depression and Anxiety Can Be Cured NowC. The Initial Course Proves to Be SuccessfulD. Laughter Is Actually Being Used as MedicineEngineers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a new way to program robots to help people with dementia（痴呆）locate medicine, glasses, phones and other objects they need but have lostAnd while the initial focus is on assisting a specific group of people, the technology could someday be used by anyone who has searched high and low fbr something they've misplaced.“The longterm impact of this is really exciting,9,said Dr. Ali Ayub, a postdoctoral fellow in electrical and puter engineering. tcA user can be involved not just with a panion robot but a personalized panion robot that
