I was 9 in what may have made her take on this challenge at her age. “In fact, I always dreamed of 10 a college education and now I'm getting one!” she told me. Later, we became friends.

四、任务型阅读
Carrots are grown on farms and in small family gardens throughout the world. They are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They have a pleasant taste.
When people think about carrots,a picture of a long,thin,orange-colored vegetable usually comes into their minds. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange.
Carrots should be grown in sandy soil(土壤)that does not hold water for a long time. The soil should also have no rocks. Weather,soil,and age affect the way carrots taste. Experts say warm days,cool nights,and a right soil temperature are the best conditions for growing great tasting carrots. Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground,you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as you do during the summer months. If the ground does freeze in your part of the world,just cover your carrot garden with some plant leaves or straw. This will prevent the ground from freezing.
Carrots need time to produce and develop their sugar. This gives them their taste. If they are harvested too early,they will not have enough sugar. However,carrots become wood-like and lose their sweetness if you wait too long to harvest them from the ground. The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually,the brighter the color,the better the taste.
31.根据短文内容完成句子。每空一词。
If the ground freezes,we should the carrot garden the ground freezing.
32.回答问题:Should the soil have any rocks to grow carrots?
33.判断正(A)误(B)。
Unless carrots are harvested too early,they will have enough sugar.
34.翻译划线句子。
