Seed catalogues feature hundreds of flowering species. For the persons just beginning garden this can be bewildering, and below are the details of some popular choices, nearly all of which should be sown in the spring. With the exception of busy lizzies, which need a little care, they are all very easy to grow from seed. Dahlias These are sturdy plants bearing showy flowers in a wide range of rather gaudy colors. Sow in a frame in April and plant the seedlings out when frosts are over. Dahlias flower throughout the summer and into the autumn. When autumn frosts begin to make them look unhappy, you should dig up the tuberous roots and save them. A frost-free loft, shed or garage is the ideal place. The following spring you plant the tubers instead of sowing seed again. Lupins Lupins are hardy perennials. This means that the plants will stay in your garden and carry on flowering year after year. Seed sown in April will usually give you some spikes of colors in the first summer, and year by year the plants get bigger and the flowering stems get taller and grander. Selective breeding has led to the introduction of some fine, bicolored varieties in some dazzling shades. The short-lived flowers make a real misunderstanding spectacle. Busy lizzies Like dahlias, busy lizzies need to be started off under glass, as they cannot stand frost, and panting out is best done in May. Outdoor flowering ends in September, so beat the frosts and bring your favorite specimens indoors to give your home some sinter color! Indoors they will carry on flowering indefinitely, though you may like to plant them out again when spring returns. Like pansies (below) they do very well in sun or shade, but the soil must be moist. Most varieties grow to be a height of only 20 cm or so. Potentillas Potentillas are hardy shrubs. In other words, the woody branches spring from ground level—there is no central trunk. Seed is probably best sown in autumn, in which case you should keep the plants in a sheltered spot until April offers favorable conditions for planting out. Once flowering begins in early summer the best varieties (such as Melton Fire) will stay in bloom almost ceaselessly for years on end while at the same time spreading out to provide ground cover or a low hedge. Pansies Pansies have a good long flowering season year after year, and some varieties can be sown in spring to give truly splendid results the first autumn. Unlike dahlias and lupins, which can easily grow a meter tall, pansies grow no higher than 10 or 20 cm. Their soil, position and moisture requirements are just like those of busy lizzies but pansies differ in being hardy. Give them a try! Questions 1-3 Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. 1. Both dahlias and lupins, which are sown in April, need protecting from frost. 2. Brought indoors in autumn, dahlias, busy lizzies and potentillas will carry on flowering almost non-stop. 3. Among all the flowers busy lizzies are not very easy to grow from seed.

Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe," a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.

Minutes before the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was announced in Moscow, the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result. Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. Song said the hotel was not taking reservations, but only noting down names of callers, because seven years was too far in advance. The hotel also may be used by the IOC and would then need to set aside rooms for IOC members, he said.

Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels, 34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings. About 70 hotels will be designated to accommodate athletes and Olympic officials during the Games.

In the first paragraph, which of the following is the most possible reason for many people to book rooms in top hotels in Beijing?

A．The 2008 Olympic Games will be hold there.

B．More foreigners want to come to China.

C．People from the United States and Europe are eager to visit China.

D．Those hotels can offer good service.

Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.

Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps (打盹).Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods (情绪)as humans，some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.

A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.

Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman,John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.

Perhaps more people learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer! Taking cat naps____.

A.will make a person lazy and tired

B.is a bad habit

C.will make people feel better

D.can help people become famous

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.People should take their naps secretly.

Passage 2

Until a decade or two ago， the centers of many Western cities were emptying while their edges were spreading. This was not for the reasons normally cited. Neither the car nor the motorway caused suburban sprawl， although they sped it up: cities were spreading before either came along.

Nor was the flight to the suburbs caused by racism. Whites fled inner-city neighborhoods that were becoming black， but they also fled ones that were not. Planning and zoning rules encouraged sprawl， as did tax breaks for home ownership——but cities spread regardless of these. The real cause was mass affluence. As people grew richer， they demanded more privacy and space. Only a few could afford that in city centers; the rest moved out.

The same process is now occurring in the developing world， but much more quickly. The pop-ulation density of metropolitan Beijing has collapsed since 1970， falling from 425 people per hectare to 65. Indian cities are following; Brazil"s are ahead. And suburbanization has a long way to run. Beijing is now about as crowded as metropolitan Chicago was at its most closely packed， in the 1920s. Since then Chicago"s density has fallen by almost three-quarters.

This is welcome. Romantic notions of sociable， high-density living——notions pushed， for the most part， by people who themselves occupy rather spacious residences——ignore the squalor and lack of privacy to be found in Kinshasa， Mumbai or the other crowded cities of the poor world.

Many of them are far too dense for dignified living， and need to spread out.

The Western suburbs to which so many aspire are healthier than their detractors say. The modern Stepfords are no longer white monocultures， but that is progress. For every Ferguson there are many American suburbs that have quietly become black， Hispanic or Asian， or a blend of every-one. Picaresque accounts of decay overlook the fact that America"s suburbs are half as criminal and a little more than half as poor as central cities. Even as urban centers revive， more Americans move from city centre to suburb than go the other way.

But the West has also made mistakes， from which the rest of the world can learn. The first lesson is that suburban sprawl imposes costs on everyone. Suburbanites tend to use more roads and consume more carbon than urbanites （though perhaps not as much as distant commuters forced out by green belts）. But this damage can be alleviated by a carbon tax， by toll roads and by charging for parking. Many cities in the emerging world have followed the foolish American practice of re-quiring property developers to provide a certain number of parking spaces for every building——something that makes commuting by car much more attractive than it would be otherwise. Scrap-ping them would give public transport a chance.

The second is that it is foolish to try to stop the spread of suburbs. Green belts， the most ef-fective method for doing this， push up property prices and encourage long-distance commuting. The cost of housing in London， already astronomical， went up by 19% in the past year， reflecting not just the city"s strong economy but also the impossibility of building on its edges. The insistence on big minimum lot sizes in some American suburbs and rural areas has much the same effect. Cities that try to prevent growth through green belts often end up weakening themselves， as Seoul has done.

A wiser policy would be to plan for huge expansion. Acquire strips of land for roads and rail-ways， and chunks for parks， before the city sprawls into them. New York"s 19th-century governors decided where Central Park was going to go long before the city reached it. New York went on to develop in a way that they could not have imagined， but the park is still there. This is not the state control of the new-town planner——that confident soul who believes he knows where people will want to live and work， and how they will get from one to the other. It is the realism needed to manage the inevitable. A model of living that has broadly worked well in the West is spreading， adapting to local conditions as it goes. We should all look forward to the time when Chinese and Indian teenagers write sulky songs about the appalling dullness of suburbia.

For which of the following reasons did the west move out of cities? 查看材料

A.They didn"t need to pay higher taxes when living in suburbs.

B.Car industry rapidly developed and motorways swiftly emerged.

C.They discriminated against the black people living in city centers.

D.The richer they grew， the more demand they had on privacy and space.
