Ⅰ.阅读理解

Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters.
Singapore covers about 720 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than those in the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten the food supply, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call to “grow more with less”.
“Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore, I tell people not to think land-think space, because you can go upwards and sideways,” said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的) farms in Singapore. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (水栽的)farm grows nonnative foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $ 16 million from investors (投资者) last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho said the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses.“Many of them have failed. That's why I'm always asking the government why you don't invest in us oldtimers. We are more practical,” he said, Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people.

After shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday”,or online on “Cyber Monday” ,Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”.Starting in 2012,now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y,a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation .
As the name indicates,“Giving Tuesday” is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools,organizing food and clothing drives,and conducting random acts of kindness.In 2015,700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash.An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.
While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity,this day can be celebrated in many other ways too.You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank,or even by donating blood.If all else fails,a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.
But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you.Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry,cooking dinner,or even reading to a younger sibling.No matter what you do,be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate“Giving Tuesday”as well!
