11.How to manage your email inbox(36)CWe loveit and we hateit.We need it and we want it,but too often the price we pay is complete email overload.As certainas the sun will rise,our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.
Honestly,we've done it to ourselves.We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result,have made ourselves pay attention toevery one of them.This is terrible.(37)EEvery time an email interrupts you,it costs time,money,and brainpower.
Here are some of my best tips to manage emails:
(38)BYou can't get into work if you check emails every ten minutes.Instead,you should set certain times to check your inbox,like the top of every hour orevery 90 minutes.Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.
Scan your inbox.(39)DAt the same time,delete everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.
(40)FInstead of creating an email,try speaking with the person you want to communicate with.Often,a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email.

A.Email is becoming more and more important in our lives.
B.Set a schedule.
C.Emaii is our friend and the enemy.
D.Looking through the emails quickly can save your time.
E.Because emaii can interrupt our work and life.
F.Use a phone.
G.Talk to the person.

2."Eat local."It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet.Eating local means to try to buy and consume(消耗) foods that are grown in places close to home.However,most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced.Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away.During the transportation,greenhouse gases are produced,causing global warming.So the shorter the distance your foods must travel,the less the harm is done to the environment.
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city,hundreds of miles away from farms?Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical(垂直的) farm".
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大樓).Since the garden is built upwards,rather than outwards,it requires much less space than an ordinary farm.The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming.Vertical farms could be a key to this situation.Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.The walls of the building would be clear,to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible.Depending on a city's water resources,Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow.If this method works,it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world.Scott Stringer,a government official from New York City,thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming."Obviously we don't have much land left for us,"Stringer said,"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan."
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality."But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way."he says.
8.Why are people advised to eat local?C
A.Because it means convenience to people.
B.Because it can help people save a lot of money.
C.Because it is environmentally friendly.
D.Because local food has more nutrition.
9.Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming?B
A.It produces healthier food.
B.It needs less space of the city.
C.It consumes more energy of the city.
D.It does less harm to the cities.
10.From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD.
A.Manhattan has a great potential(潛力) for development
B.there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C.the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D.people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11.What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage?B
A.It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way.
B.In a vertical farm,soil may not be needed to grow plants.
C.It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.
D.Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm.

2.A dog named Ace is being praised as a hero for licking (舔) the face of a sleeping,deaf 13-year-old Indianapolis boy to warn him that the house was on fire.Indianapolis Fire Department Officer Rita Reith said Nick Lamb was home alone and sleeping without his hearing aids (助聽器) when the fire began Wednesday.

7.A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world.The boy walked a long way,and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived.
On entering the main room of the castle,the boy was quite surprised:tradesmen coming and going,people chatting in the corners,and a small orchestra playing soft music.The wise man talked with everyone,and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.
The wise man listened carefully to the boy's explanation of why he had come,but told him that he didn't have time just then to explain the secret of happiness.He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.
"Meanwhile,I want to ask you to do something,"said the wise man,handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil."As you wander around,carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill."
The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace,keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon.After two hours,he returned to the wise man.
"Well,"asked the wise man,"Did you see the Persian tapestries(掛毯)in the hall?Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?"The boy was embarrassed,and replied that he had observed nothing.His only concern had been not to spill the oil.
"Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,"said the wise man.The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace.This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls.When he returned,he described in detail everything he had seen.
"But where are the drops of oil?"asked the wise man.Looking down at the spoon he held,the boy saw that the oil was gone.
