The right plants can make your home more beautiful, and even make the air in the room cleaner. However, not everyone has a “green thumb”.
The good news is that there are a few things you can do to take good care of plants in your home. Here are a few tips to help you look after house plants.
Choose the right plants.
It’s true that some plants are hard to take care of. Plants like orchids and azaleas, although beautiful to look at, are difficult to keep alive. If you are not good at gardening, these plants won’t last very long in your home.
_____________, but that doesn’t mean you should give up keeping plants in your home. There are different kinds of plants that are much easier to take care of and that will grow well with very little care. Many are also lovely and pleasing to the eye. For example, the Bird of Paradise Indoor Plant is great for those who don’t have much experience taking care of plants.
Know a plant’s lighting needs
Many people who want to have plants in the home care about watering their plants without knowing how much light the plants need. Sunlight is an important part of a plant’s ability to produce food for itself. Thankfully, shopkeepers usually put a note on most plants to tell how much sunlight a plant needs through the day. Those that need quite a lot should be put by a window. Others can be put further inside a room or in a corner where they will only get a bit of light each day.
29. Which of the following is the most suitable to be in the blank?
A. Some plants are not beautiful
B. You may spend much money on plants
C. It may take you much time taking care of plants
D. You might not be able to take good care of such plants
30. The “others” in the last paragraph refer to___________.
A. Plants needing little sunlight B. plants needing a lot of water
C. Plants needing little care D. Plants having tags on them
31.The purpose of this passage is to_____________
A. tell people to grow more plants at home B. tell the differences between house plants.
C. tell people how to look after house plants D. tell how to choose the right house plants
C
How much exercise do children need to keep in good health? Every parent wants to know the answer. In the USA, many people think that children should get more than an hour of exercise each day. It is the same in the UK.
A new study shows that children should exercise for their muscles(肌肉)and bones more than three times a week. Children can do activities like climbing and playing on monkey bars(爬架)-this kind of exercise is good for their muscles. Jumping and running are good for their bones. Children should also do aerobic(有氧)exercise for more than 60 minutes every day. They can walk fast or go running.
However, many children don't like doing exercise or playing sports outside. Today, many children like playing computer games or watching TV at home every day. What can parents do to help the children do sports outside?
Doctor Stephanie Walsh says she often sees parents taking long walks with their children as a kind of exercise, but that might not be the best way. “Although walking is a great activity, it's really boring for children. So if you're going to ask your children to go on a walk, think of some fun things to do along the way, " she says. It's a good idea to take them outside and let them play with their friends. If they often play together, it will become an important and interesting part of their life. Little by little, they will love exercise or sports.
32.Which one is better for children if they want to have strong muscles?
A. Climbing. B. Jumping. C. Running. D. Walking.
33. Doctor Stephanie Walsh thinks that children should
A. take short walks to exercise
B. have fun when they exercise
C. take exercise without their parents
D. do many kinds of exercise each time
34. Which of the following can be put in “________________”in Paragraph 4?
A. Which sport is popular with children?
B. What kind of exercise should children do?
C. How can we make exercise fun for them?
D. What kind of sport is best for children?
35. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the passage?
A. FOOD B. TRAVEL C. HEALTH D. HISTORY
D

Do-it-yourself projects let you design your house, providing a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY doesn’t always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 41
Taking on Too Much.
More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 42 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.”
43
A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them.
Not Safety First.
44 Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems, while 44% started a fire or fell off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself.
Skipping (跳过) Important Steps.
Skipping a key step can end up your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 45 And make sure you have the necessary (必要的) skills to complete each step.
A.Using the Wrong Tools.
B.Not Attending DIY Lessons.
C.You may need to think twice.
D.DIY mistakes can also be dangerous.

My Ways of Learning English
Hello, everyone. I’d like to share something about learning English. English is a very important language in the world, so we must learn it well. But how can we learn English well?
Firstly, you should talk more with your classmates in the English class. Besides, you can improve your listening by watching news reports on TV. Last but not least, you can write a diary every day and join a writing club. I think that can help improve your writing skills.
Let’s learn English well.
