This system can help save 45 to 50 percent more water than common watering systems.It was created by a company called RDI.The company has brought the GrowStream system to many farms in South Africa.It is also testing the system in the US. It will be used to make the city greener while saving more water.

After my husband died,my world crashed around me.My six children were 10,nine, eight,six,three and 18 months,and I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of earning a living,caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water. I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings,the children and I were alone,and frankly (I was uneasy.Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear.I felt really lonely. One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (on our doorstep.It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home.The children took an instant liking to "German"and begged me to let him in.I agreed to let him sleep in the basement (until the next day.That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German's owner,but with no results.Saturday night he was still with us. On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic.Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by,we drove off without him.When we stopped to get gas at a local station,we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us.He stayed again Sunday night. Monday morning I lct him out for a run whilc the children got rcady for school.Hc didn't come back.We thought we'd never see him again.On Friday evening,German was back again.We took him in,and again he stayed until Monday morning,when our housekeeper arrived.It went like this for almost 10 months.We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home. Each week,between German's visits,I grew a little braver,but every weekend I enjoyed his company.Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time.He never came back. 11.How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?

Even if someone is typically quiet,many online discussions suggest that an "I" person can still act outgoing at times.For example,when an introverted person is with a group.of.introverted friends,they might become more social like an "E"person. According to experts,this is called "masking".That is hiding your true personality in some situations.Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others. Using the MBTI result to identify (and describe someone's personality seems fun.However,I went too far at one time.My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that"P people"don't like to make or stick to plans,so I said to her,,“You don't seem like a P person'.”“Why?”she asked back. "Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?"It was then I realized I'd taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends.And that's all it is-for fun.Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person.And those four letters of yours don't define (who you are. 46.What is MBTI? 47.What is“E person”like? 48.What does the underlined word"masking"in Paragraph 2 mean in English? 49.Why does the writer mention the conversation with his sister? 50.Do you think MBTI personality test is fun?Why or why not? 五、写作（满分15分） 学校英语专栏正在开展征文活动：Do Inventions Help Us Realize Our Space Dreams?请你写一篇短文投稿。 要点提示： 发明如何推动太空探索； 谈谈你对未来太空发明的畅想； 作为青少年，我们该如何助力太空梦想。
