27、   There was one farmer who had a fine olive orchard. He was very hard-working and the garden always did well under his care. But he knew that his three sons looked down on the farm work, and were only interested in getting rich quickly.

When the farmer was old and felt that he would die, he called his three sons to him and said, “My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.” The sons tried to get him to tell them the exact place where the gold was hidden, but he said nothing more.

After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the gold. Since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the gold.

They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree roots and between them. But no gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his intelligence. The three sons were quite disappointed to have all their work for nothing.

The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given. When it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.

And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meat when he said, "There is a lot of gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.”

28、Some American parents might think their children need better educations to compete with China and other countries. But how much do the parents themselves need to change? A new book called" Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and the mother of two daughters. She was raised in the American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents.

In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms. Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do.

Many people have criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.

Ms. Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted "I hate my life! I hate you! " But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children's abilities. “One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility. ”

Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says, "The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child. "Ms. DeBroff says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.

【1】Which of the following might be on the list of what Amy Chua’s daughters are no permitted to do ?

A．Taking an extra course.

B．Getting A’s in exams

C．Getting up on schedule.

D．Having a play date.

【2】Stacy DeBroff believes parents should________.

A．raise their children as they were raised

B．find their own ways to raise their children

C．be as strict as possible with their children

D．follow successful people's parenting style.

【3】The word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 in meaning to”________”.

A．weakness

B．consciousness

C．independence

D．perseverance

【4】According to the passage, Amy Chua’s parenting style is________.

A．unique

B．questioned

C．reasonable

D．creative

29、   Forty-nine years ago, on April 22,1970, twenty million Americans took to the streets to voice their concern about the deteriorating environment. The movement led to Earth Day.

Unfortunately, our planet is in worse shape now than it was when Earth Day was first celebrated. The good news is that it’s still not too late to reverse (转变) climate change if we all do our part. This Earth Day, take the first step towards helping our planet by participating in one of these fun activities.

NASA is putting our planet up for adoption so you and your friend can claim a portion of the planet as your own. The space agency has divided the globe into 64,000 sections, each about 55 miles wide. All you have to do is type your name into NASA’s “Adopt the Planet” site to claim a certificate that will give you the location of your slice of paradise (天堂) complete with details of its environment. NASA hopes that this exercise will stimulate interest and care in our planet.

Search giant Google is also trying to engage the public with an updated Google Earth focused around Earth Day events. Through a new Voyager feature, users will be able to discover stories from around the world, learn about new places by reading “Knowledge Cards” and send postcards.

If you happen to be anywhere near the nation’s capital on April 22, join the millions that are expected to participate in the Earth Day March at the National Mall. The mission of the event that will feature guest speakers and musical performances is to mobilize (动员) citizens into taking action by promoting this year’s Earth Day theme: climate and environmental science literacy.

While participating in the above-mentioned activities is a great idea, it is just the beginning. All that is required are small lifestyle changes. Planting a tree or two, going meatless just one day a week, or switching your plastic water bottle for a reusable one will go a long way to help reverse the damage we have caused.

【1】The underlined word “deteriorating” is the closest in meaning to ________.

A．cleaner

C．worse

D．colder

【2】If you participate in the activity of “Adopt the Planet”, you will be probably provided with your slice's information about ________.

Health Workers Aim to Save Lives of Mothers, Babies with Smartphone Data

A new project in India and Uganda is aimed at helping health workers save the lives of mothers and babies with information from electronic devices.

The $100 million project is 【1】 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and other groups. Officials plan to 【2】 the project to a total of 10 countries. The goal is to 【3】 the premature deaths of 6 million women and children by 2030.

Shah told Reuters, "A few years ago, these community health workers had no real technology ... today the vast majority of them have smartphones with data and software technologies in their hands --- and with those, we can help them do their work better."

A U.N. report published last week 【7】 that more women and newborn babies survive now than ever before. But the report said that a baby or a 【8】 woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world.
