On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little   46  , as she was carrying her shopping bags. They were   47  heavy that she decided to have a rest in the park. Then she noticed a poor man   48  in front of her. The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin(箱) and started looking    49  it.
Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get. So she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in  50  and took what she gave him.
A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious   51  . This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, girl.” Then he went   52  , singing a song.
Just then, Susan understood   53  the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help; everyone can offer help and everyone will   54  by showing kindness.
Giving sometimes doesn’t cost much,   55  it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into Susan’s mind every time she has the chance to help others.

U.S. billionaire Bill Gates went to watch a game of his friend, U.S. teen player Ariel Hsing, at the ExCel Centre while the girl was playing against Chinese Li Xiaoxia.

Gates wore an orange jacket and dark blue baseball cap. He sat in the front row of the spectators’ stand (观众看台) and applauded (鼓掌) for every point Hsing scored.

“I’m wishing her the best of luck, but the opposite player is really great,” Gates said.

Hsing was in her third match at London 2012. She had already beaten Mexico’s Yadira Silva and Luxembourg’s Ni Xia Lian.

Hsing is known in the U.S. as a close friend with billionaires Warren Buffett and Gates. She is close enough to call them “Uncle Warren” and “Uncle Bill”.

Buffett met Hsing when she was only 9. Two years later, he invited her to play against his friends. She has returned several times after that. Earlier this year after winning a position on the U.S. team, she took a few points off Buffett and Gates.

When asked whether he has won a point off Hsing, Gates said, “She beat me when she was nine. She has been nice to me.”

Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year.

However, Ed has to guard against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is prepared for the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.

What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.

But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree’s branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.

Computer technology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently(  ) the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computer—age oranges. 

1.The passage is mainly about______.

A. a farmer expert cares for his orange trees

B. the different uses of computers

C. growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weather

D. different ways of frost protection

2.Ed tries to protect his crop by______.

    A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold air

    B. equipping his orange trees with a computer

    C. watering it at the proper time

    D. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost

3. According to the passage, the computer technology______.

    A. removes the need for frost protection

    B. prevents temperature from dropping

    C. tells farmers why outdoor temperatures change

    D. helps the farmer get a better harvest
