Looking for your next gardening book to read? Here’s a bunch of fantastic choices that cover a wide range of interests.
Nature, Design, and Health by David Kamp (Library of American Landscape History, 2023)
In Nature, Design, and Health, David Kamp looks back on his 40-year career as a landscape architect, educator and advocate. He is the principal of the design firm Dirtworks, which he named for his guiding belief that when life feels like a struggle, or even downright chaotic, “dirt works” to fix our spirits. Explaining the name, he writes “nature can provide balance in our lives.” Kamp always believed in nature as a source of healing.
The Garden Journal by Linda Vater (Cool Springs Press, 2023)
Here’s a very handy book that might just become the gardener’s favorite. Yes, it’s a journal in which to record tasks and happenings (five years’ worth, in fact!), but it offers so much more than blank space. The Garden Journal is really about prompting you to become a better gardener and improve your garden’s design in every season.
Brilliant English Gardens by Clive Nichols (Clearyiew Books, 2022)
In Brilliant English Gardens, renowned garden photographer Clive Nichols offers a visit to more than two dozen gardens in England. This book allows the reader full immersion (沉浸) into each place through its generous imagery, with most of the pages devoted to photographs alone.
Nature’s Best Hope (Young Readers’ Edition) by Douglas Tallamy (Timber Press, 2023)
First published in 2020, Douglas Tallamy’s Nature’s Best Hope put forth his idea of the Homegrown National Park, which would see privately owned lands being planted and tended to support wildlife. Now this popular book has been adapted for middle-grade children (ages 8 to 12 or so).

As a fully bilingual Latina raising multicultural kid, I have always imagined myself passing down the Spanish language to them. I’ve had to think of more creative ways to get them excited about learning the language.
Earlier this year we decided to take a Spanish immersion trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Lopesan Costa Bávaro, a 5-star, all-inclusive hotel to make travel and family activities a lot easier. To me, language is about more than just the words themselves; I want to teach them to value the world and its many cultures. So the goal of the trip was to primarily speak to my kids in Spanish and offer them an enriching travel experience. I blocked out two-to-three-hour windows to speak to them only in Spanish each day and found that they became curious about the language and kept asking me how to translate words, even when we weren’t in practice mode.
One of their favorite spots in the hotel was the ice cream shop. The kids learned what to call the sweet treat in Spanish (helado) and asked how to say the different ice cream flavors in Spanish too. The most important part of the immersion trip was to have fun and to set realistic expectations about their language development journey.
My kids weren’t going to leave the trip being fully bilingual, but the goal was to spark their interest and create a positive learning experience. For me, it was also a reminder to let go of the bilingual parenting pressure I constantly put on myself. So much of passing down a language requires planning and consistency, which can be hard to keep up with at times — and that’s OK.
Once we got home, my son asked us to download the app Duolingo on our devices so he could continue practicing his Spanish. And I still make it a point to occasionally shift to Spanish and teach them new words: little by little, poco a poco.

6. What does the author imply about her children’s language development?
A. They generate a strong passion for Spanish.
B. They became fluent in Spanish by the end of the trip.
C. They have formed a habit of learning Spanish after the trip.
D. They found Spanish too easy to learn.
7. What lesson did the author learn regarding bilingual parenting?

Red-crowned parrots are characterized by their mainly green feathers and distinctive cluster of red feathers on their heads. They originally lived a region in Northeastern Mexico. Due to habitat destruction and illegal hunting, their existence is under severe threat in their native lands.
Texas has embraced these fascinating birds, awarding them native species status which is vital to their protection. Dr. Brightsmith highlighted this stating, “Without native species status, it would be much more difficult to provide protection for the species.”
This acknowledgment boosted interest from Texas Parks & Wildlife, paving the way for extensive research on the adaptation and well-being of these parrots in South Texas. The research team carefully counted and mapped the parrots, concentrating especially on the Rio Grande Valley. Remarkably, places like Brownsville have adopted the red-crowned parrot as their official mascot. With around 900 parrots living in South Texas, Kiacz and his team closely monitored their breeding activity. These observations have provided a comprehensive insight into their thriving population.
The adaptation and thriving of red-crowned parrots in urban environments are unusual. The species, considered as “synanthropes,” lives harmoniously with human-made environments. Kiacz explains, “Humans have basically created the perfect environment for these parrots.” The relationship stems from their mutual liking for well-watered plants producing fruit and seeds year-round. Even the tendency to plant non-native palm trees has accidentally provided perfect nesting holes for these parrots, further solidifying their urban adaptation.
In summary, the thriving existence of red-crowned parrots among urban sprawl is a testament to nature’s resilience and adaptability. It opens up a lot of opportunities for research and provides a unique perspective on urban conservation strategies, emphasizing the balance between urban expansion and biodiversity.
8. What results in the decline of red-crowned parrots?
A. Climate change and disease. B. Food shortages and competition.
C. Urbanization and natural predators. D. Habitat destruction and illegal hunting.
9. What is Dr. Brightsmith’s attitude towards Texas’s measure?
A. Appreciative. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Skeptical.
10. What does the term “synanthropes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Species that avoid human environments.
B. Species that are endangered.
C. Species that are native to urban areas.
D. Species that coexist with human-made environments.
11. What role do humans play in the adaptation of red-crowned parrots in urban environments?
A. Humans hunt them for entertainment. B. Humans destroy their natural habitats.
C. Humans provide them with food and shelter. D. Humans create perfect nesting holes accidentally.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Brightsmith highlighted this stating, ‘Without native species status, it would be much more difficult to provide protection for the species.’(布莱特史密斯博士强调说:‘如果没有本土物种的身份,为该物种提供保护将会困难得多。’)”可知,布莱特史密斯博士认为给予红冠鹦鹉本土物种身份对保护它们很重要,所以他对德克萨斯州的措施是赞赏的态度。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The adaptation and thriving of red-crowned parrots in urban environments are unusual. The species, considered as ‘synanthropes,’ lives harmoniously with human-made environments.(红冠鹦鹉在城市环境中的适应和繁衍是不寻常的。这种被认为是synanthropes的物种,与人类制造的环境和谐共处。)”可知,红冠鹦鹉与人类制造的环境和谐共处。所以synanthropes指的是与人类制造的环境共存的物种。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Humans have basically created the perfect environment for these parrots.(人类基本上为这些鹦鹉创造了完美的环境。)”、“The relationship stems from their mutual liking for well-watered plants producing fruit and seeds year-round.(这种关系源于他们对全年都能结出果实和种子的浇水良好的植物的共同喜爱。)”以及“Even the tendency to plant non-native palm trees has accidentally provided perfect nesting holes for these parrots, further solidifying their urban adaptation.(甚至种植非本土棕榈树的趋势也意外地为这些鹦鹉提供了完美的筑巢洞穴,进一步巩固了它们对城市的适应。)”可知,人类为红冠鹦鹉提供了食物和庇护所。故选C。

Whether or not robots can feel is a question. But what’s becoming increasingly clear, says Associate Professor Szu-chi Huang in Stanford University, is that robots do have the capacity to make humans feel.
In the latest episode of If/Then: Business, Leadership, Society, Huang digs into the effect that robots can have, not just on our emotions, but on our behavior. Huang’s research shows that when people witness others being helpful towards others, they’re motivated to do the same. This is what she calls “pro-social” behavior. But she wondered: what happens when a robot is the one lending a helping hand? Are people inspired to follow the example of a machine?
To find out, Huang designed a study where participants were shown various news reports about natural disasters and the measures being taken in response. In some stories, the “heroes” were humans; in others, they were robots.
“In both cases, we explained in detail what those heroes were doing,” says Huang. Whether dragging survivors out of ruins after an earthquake or disinfecting (消毒) hospitals during a surging COVID-19 pandemic, “The actions are exactly the same, but the heroes are different.”
Following test subjects’ exposure to these stories, Huang measured their willingness to engage in pro-social behavior, like donating to support children in need. What she found was those who saw robot heroes were significantly less likely to donate than those who saw humans taking the same actions. “The robot stories actually make people feel less inspired,” says Huang. “And that has important consequences. If using robots lowers our intention to help others, it could have a pretty big negative social impact.”
So what do we do as AI and robots play an increasing role in our lives? How do we embrace their benefits without downgrading our humanity and pro-sociability in the process? Huang says if we want robots to be good for society, then we need to humanize them.
12. Which of the following best describes “pro-social” behavior?
A. Helping others when they are in need. B. Becoming less motivated to help others.
C. Copying the behavior of a robot. D. Avoiding social interaction with others.
13. What were the participants asked to do in the study?
A. To review news reports. B. To respond to news reports.
C. To observe robots working. D. To take an interview.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People hate robots helping others.
B. Robots will never be able to replace humans.
C. People’s humanity will surely decline because of robots’ development.
D. Humanizing robots is likely to make them more beneficial to society.
15. Which of the following could be the best title?
A. Robots: Threats to Human Pro-social Behavior
B. The Dilemma of Robots in Modern Society
C. Humanizing Robots: A Solution to Social Problems
D. Do Robots Inspire Human Pro-social Behavior?
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。斯坦福黄教授研究发现机器人助人反而削弱人类亲社会行为,提出将机器人人性化或有益社会。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Huang’s research shows that when people witness others being helpful towards others, they’re motivated to do the same. This is what she calls ‘pro-social’ behavior.(黄的研究表明,当人们看到别人帮助他人时,他们也有动力去做同样的事情。这就是她所说的 ‘亲社会’行为。)”可知,“亲社会”行为是在别人需要帮助时帮助他人。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To find out, Huang designed a study where participants were shown various news reports about natural disasters and the measures being taken in response.(为了找出答案,黄设计了一项研究,让参与者观看各种关于自然灾害以及相应应对措施的新闻报道。)”可知,参与者被要求观看新闻报道。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So what do we do as AI and robots play an increasing role in our lives? How do we embrace their benefits without downgrading our humanity and pro-sociability in the process? Huang says if we want robots to be good for society, then we need to humanize them.(那么,当人工智能和机器人在我们的生活中扮演越来越重要的角色时,我们该怎么做呢?我们如何在不降低我们的人性和亲社会性的情况下接受它们的好处呢?黄说,如果我们希望机器人对社会有益,那么我们需要让它们人性化。)”可知,让机器人人性化可能会使它们对社会更有益。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了斯坦福大学黄教授的研究,研究机器人对人类亲社会行为的影响,看到机器人帮助他人,人们帮助他人的意图降低,最后提出如果想让机器人对社会有益,需要让它们人性化。所以D选项Do Robots Inspire Human Pro-social Behavior?(机器人会激发人类的亲社会行为吗?)符合语境。故选D。

【答案】Break Bad Habits, Embrace New Life
Good morning, everyone!
I used to be a chronic procrastinator, often leaving my homework until the last minute and staying up late to finish it. This not only affected my sleep quality but also led to poor academic performance. To break this bad habit, I started using a planner to schedule my tasks and set specific deadlines for each one. Additionally, I divided large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps and rewarded myself after completing each part. Gradually, I found myself becoming more organized and efficient.
Now, I would like to encourage all of you to identify your bad habits and take action to change them. Remember, small steps lead to big changes. Let’s support one another and embrace a new, better life together!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a bustling (喧嚣的) office building that scraped the sky, Alan, the diligent door keeper, carried out his daily tasks, maintaining cleanliness. His hands grasped the day’s trash, leading him towards the trash bin. On the ordinary day, Alan’s path crossed with the gaze of fate.
Peering over the edge of a trash bin was a young boy, searching for food among the discarded remains of the office workers. Alan’s heart seized at the sight of the child’s desperate searching. Instead of chasing the boy away, he extended an offering—a sandwich that he had hidden away for his break. Day by day, Alan shared his lunch, becoming a quiet source of nourishment in the boy’s otherwise uncertain life.
The boy, named Christopher, came to expect Alan’s presence, finding comfort in his kindness. Their exchanges transcended (超越) the exchange of food; they formed an unspoken bond, creating a safe place of companionship in the solitude of the alley. However, Alan’s heart ached for the child’s situation, longing to know more about his past and the struggles he faced.
Alan’s curiosity gradually gave way to gentle inquiries, and Christopher, feeling a sense of trust, began to open up. The boy revealed the disturbing truth—he had escaped an abusive home and fled to the streets. His heartbreaking journey had left him homeless and distrustful of most adults and potential refuge. Christopher’s reluctance to give away further details only deepened Alan’s determination to help.
注意:

Despite the limitations of his own circumstances, Alan became an unwavering source of support.

Years later, the boy who had once depended on Alan for support returned, not as a hungry child, but as a successful man.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Despite the limitations of his own circumstances, Alan became an unwavering source of support. He started by finding a small, safe corner in a nearby shelter and persuaded Christopher to stay there, promising to visit every day. Alan also used his meager savings to buy the boy clothes and school supplies, secretly enrolling him in a local community school. Whenever Christopher faced doubts or fears, Alan would sit beside him, sharing stories of hope and perseverance. Slowly but surely, the boy began to heal, his eyes regaining the spark that hardship had once dimmed.
Years later, the boy who had once depended on Alan for support returned, not as a hungry child, but as a successful man. He tracked down Alan, who was still working at the same building. With tears in his eyes, Christopher hugged his savior happily. Now an entrepreneur, he had established a foundation to help homeless children. He told Alan that every decision he made was inspired by the man’s selfless kindness. Then, he offered Alan a position at the foundation, not as a caretaker, but as a partner, determined to give back and spread the love that had changed his life forever.

As a fully bilingual Latina raising multicultural kid, I have always imagined myself passing down the Spanish language to them. I’ve had to think of more creative ways to get them excited about learning the language.
Earlier this year we decided to take a Spanish immersion trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Lopesan Costa Bávaro, a 5-star, all-inclusive hotel to make travel and family activities a lot easier. To me, language is about more than just the words themselves; I want to teach them to value the world and its many cultures. So the goal of the trip was to primarily speak to my kids in Spanish and offer them an enriching travel experience. I blocked out two-to-three-hour windows to speak to them only in Spanish each day and found that they became curious about the language and kept asking me how to translate words, even when we weren’t in practice mode.
One of their favorite spots in the hotel was the ice cream shop. The kids learned what to call the sweet treat in Spanish (helado) and asked how to say the different ice cream flavors in Spanish too. The most important part of the immersion trip was to have fun and to set realistic expectations about their language development journey.
My kids weren’t going to leave the trip being fully bilingual, but the goal was to spark their interest and create a positive learning experience. For me, it was also a reminder to let go of the bilingual parenting pressure I constantly put on myself. So much of passing down a language requires planning and consistency, which can be hard to keep up with at times — and that’s OK.
Once we got home, my son asked us to download the app Duolingo on our devices so he could continue practicing his Spanish. And I still make it a point to occasionally shift to Spanish and teach them new words: little by little, poco a poco.
4. What was the main purpose of the author’s trip to Punta Cana?
A. To enjoy an expensive hotel.
B. To teach her kids Spanish through immersion.
C. To explore the culture of the Dominican Republic.
D. To visit family members living there.
5. How did the author teach her children Spanish during the trip?
A. By enrolling them in a language school.
B. By having them speak Spanish for two to three hours daily.
C. By playing games with them.
D. By speaking only Spanish for two to three hours daily.
6. What does the author imply about her children’s language development?
A. They generate a strong passion for Spanish.
B. They became fluent in Spanish by the end of the trip.
C. They have formed a habit of learning Spanish after the trip.
D. They found Spanish too easy to learn.
7. What lesson did the author learn regarding bilingual parenting?
A. It is vital to set strict language rules.
B. It requires patience, planning, and consistency.
C Children should only learn one language at a time.
D. Language learning is not important for cultural identity.
C
Red-crowned parrots are characterized by their mainly green feathers and distinctive cluster of red feathers on their heads. They originally lived a region in Northeastern Mexico. Due to habitat destruction and illegal hunting, their existence is under severe threat in their native lands.
Texas has embraced these fascinating birds, awarding them native species status which is vital to their protection. Dr. Brightsmith highlighted this stating, “Without native species status, it would be much more difficult to provide protection for the species.”
This acknowledgment boosted interest from Texas Parks & Wildlife, paving the way for extensive research on the adaptation and well-being of these parrots in South Texas. The research team carefully counted and mapped the parrots, concentrating especially on the Rio Grande Valley. Remarkably, places like Brownsville have adopted the red-crowned parrot as their official mascot. With around 900 parrots living in South Texas, Kiacz and his team closely monitored their breeding activity. These observations have provided a comprehensive insight into their thriving population.
The adaptation and thriving of red-crowned parrots in urban environments are unusual. The species considered as “synanthropes,” lives harmoniously with human-made environments. Kiacz explains, “Humans have basically created the perfect environment for these parrots.” The relationship stems from their mutual liking for well-watered plants producing fruit and seeds year-round. Even the tendency to plant non-native palm trees has accidentally provided perfect nesting holes for these parrots, further solidifying their urban adaptation.
In summary, the thriving existence of red-crowned parrots among urban sprawl is a testament to nature’s resilience and adaptability. It opens up a lot of opportunities for research and provides a unique perspective on urban conservation strategies, emphasizing the balance between urban expansion and biodiversity.
8. What results in the decline of red-crowned parrots?
A. Climate change and disease. B. Food shortages and competition.
C. Urbanization and natural predators. D. Habitat destruction and illegal hunting.
9. What is Dr. Brightsmith’s attitude towards Texas’s measure?
A. Appreciative. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Skeptical.
10. What does the term “synanthropes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Species that avoid human environments.
B. Species that are endangered.
C. Species that are native to urban areas.
D. Species that coexist with human-made environments.
11. What role do humans play in the adaptation of red-crowned parrots in urban environments?
A. Humans hunt them for entertainment. B. Humans destroy their natural habitats.
C. Humans provide them with food and shelter. D. Humans create perfect nesting holes accidentally.
D
Whether or not robots can feel is a question. But what’s becoming increasingly clear, says Associate Professor Szu-chi Huang in Stanford University, is that robots do have the capacity to make humans feel.
In the latest episode of If/Then: Business, Leadership, Society, Huang digs into the effect that robots can have, not just on our emotions, but on our behavior. Huang’s research shows that when people witness others being helpful towards others, they’re motivated to do the same. This is what she calls “pro-social” behavior. But she wondered: what happens when a robot is the one lending a helping hand? Are people inspired to follow the example of a machine?
To find out, Huang designed a study where participants were shown various news reports about natural disasters and the measures being taken in response. In some stories, the “heroes” were humans; in others, they were robots.
“In both cases, we explained in detail what those heroes were doing,” says Huang. Whether dragging survivors out of ruins after an earthquake or disinfecting (消毒) hospitals during a surging COVID-19 pandemic, “The actions are exactly the same, but the heroes are different.”
Following test subjects’ exposure to these stories, Huang measured their willingness to engage in pro-social behavior, like donating to support children in need. What she found was those who saw robot heroes were significantly less likely to donate than those who saw humans taking the same actions. “The robot stories actually make people feel less inspired,” says Huang. “And that has important consequences. If using robots lowers our intention to help others, it could have a pretty big negative social impact.”
So what do we do as AI and robots play an increasing role in our lives? How do we embrace their benefits without downgrading our humanity and pro-sociability in the process? Huang says if we want robots to be good for society, then we need to humanize them.
12. Which of the following best describes “pro-social” behavior?
A. Helping others when they are in need. B. Becoming less motivated to help others.

14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People hate robots helping others.
B. Robots will never be able to replace humans.
C. People’s humanity will surely decline because of robots’ development.
D. Humanizing robots is likely to make them more beneficial to society.
15. Which of the following could be the best title?
A. Robots: Threats to Human Pro-social Behavior
B. The Dilemma of Robots in Modern Society
C. Humanizing Robots: A Solution to Social Problems

In a bustling (喧嚣的) office building that scraped the sky, Alan, the diligent door keeper, carried out his daily tasks, maintaining cleanliness. His hands grasped the day’s trash, leading him towards the trash bin. On the ordinary day, Alan’s path crossed with the gaze of fate.
Peering over the edge of a trash bin was a young boy, searching for food among the discarded remains of the office workers. Alan’s heart seized at the sight of the child’s desperate searching. Instead of chasing the boy away, he extended an offering—a sandwich that he had hidden away for his break. Day by day, Alan shared his lunch, becoming a quiet source of nourishment in the boy’s otherwise uncertain life.
The boy, named Christopher, came to expect Alan’s presence, finding comfort in his kindness. Their exchanges transcended (超越) the exchange of food; they formed an unspoken bond, creating a safe place of companionship in the solitude of the alley. However, Alan’s heart ached for the child’s situation, longing to know more about his past and the struggles he faced.
Alan’s curiosity gradually gave way to gentle inquiries, and Christopher, feeling a sense of trust, began to open up. The boy revealed the disturbing truth—he had escaped an abusive home and fled to the streets. His heartbreaking journey had left him homeless and distrustful of most adults and potential refuge. Christopher’s reluctance to give away further details only deepened Alan’s determination to help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Despite the limitations of his own circumstances, Alan became an unwavering source of support.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years later, the boy who had once depended on Alan for support returned, not as a hungry child, but as a successful man.
