Farber,a graduate of Colorado State University,started out as a more conventional veterinarian.He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain.He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief.Then he tried acupunc- ture,an ancient Chinese practice,and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments.What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.So,after studying the techniques for a couple of years,he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition.After Charlie had a heart attack,Tindale says,she was prepared to put him to sleep,but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months.And Pris- cilla Dewing reports that her horse,Nappy,"moves more easily and rides more comfortably"after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time,and if the past is any indication,he may be right:Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700."Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,"he says."I will do anything to help an animal.That's my job. 1.What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him?

Ridership on transit (systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. "At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing eve- rything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,"she says.

After studying agriculture,medicine,and fisheries in college,John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌)？Which kinds of fish can eat cancer- causing chemicals?With the right combination of animals and plants,he figured,maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge ()First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco- machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water. Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (from 1,600 homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China. “Ecological design”is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,he says."You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair. 13.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?

Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber gro- cery stores."The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,"she says."They come to us thinking vege- tables are awful,dirt is awful,insects are awful."Though some are ini- tially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt,most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts'classes,at two middle schools and two high schools,include hands-on experiments such as soil testing,flower-and- seed dissection,tastings of fresh or dried produce,and work in the gar- den.Several times a year,students cook the vegetables they grow,and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes."We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently,Jaramillo says. She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition.Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.Besides,working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students,many of whom have emotional control issues."They get outside,"she says, “and they feel successful..” 17.What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?

Chances are that if you're looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle,not everyone around you will be ready tojump on that bandwagon. 【7-5】 I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago,as I was living with my parents,and I continue to experi- ence this with my husband,as he is not completely zero waste like me. I've learned a few things along the way though,which I hope you'll find encouraging if you're doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household. Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back.I re- member showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson,sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars,and have so little trash! A few days later,I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars every- where.It came off as a bit discouraging. Yet as the months of reducing waste continued,I did what I could that was within my own reach.I had my own bedroom,so I worked on removing things I didn't need..Since I had my own toiletries(洗漱用品)， I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable.I also offered to cook every so often,so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries.Perhaps your household won't entirely make the switch,but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire. As you make your lifestyle changes,you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you're doing,which can turn itself into a whole household debate.If you have individuals who are not on board,your words probably won't do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged. So here is my advice:Lead by action. 21.What do the underlined words "jump on that bandwagon"mean in the first paragraph? A.Share an apartment with you. B.Join you in what you're doing. C.Transform your way of living. D.Help you to make the decision. 22.What was the attitude of the author's father toward buying groceries with jars? A.He disapproved of it. B.He was favorable to it. C.He was tolerant of it. D.He didn't care about it. 23.What can we infer about the author? A.She is quite good at cooking. B.She respects others'privacy. C.She enjoys being a housewife. D.She is a determined person. 24.What is the text mainly about? A.How to get on well with other family members. B.How to have one's own personal space at home.
