Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.
So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many  methods — such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant(有抵抗力的) varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.
Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims (宣称) made for organic farming is always true”.
However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.
【小题1】The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.

A.organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 years
B.governments of European countries have cared less about organic farming
C.organic farming is far from being as popular as expected
D.European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world
【小题2】 The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “________”.
A.argue forB.care forC.struggle forD.pay for
【小题3】 What can we know about organic farming?
A.It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers.
B.It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.
C.It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing.
D.It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.
【小题4】According to the third paragraph, _____.
A.organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environment
B.the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science
C.organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committee
D.organic farming is preferred to traditional farming
【小题5】Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A.The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer.
B.Organic farming is popular with young people.
C.Farmers make use of many different kinds of methods to improve the organic sales system.
D.Ninety-three percent of British shoppers don’t buy organic products.

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails(指甲)carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs (细菌) that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被抛弃的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

1.The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.

A.be great friends                        B.bring us pleasure

C.help us keep healthy                     D.do harm to us

2.To keep healthy, the author may be against ______.

A.washing your fingernails after touching your pet

B.wearing gloves when cleaning your pet’s cage

C.washing your pet in the bathtub

D.bringing your pet for examinations regularly

3.The underlined word “it” in Para.7 refers to ______.

A.the cow                              B.the mother cat

C.cow’s milk                           D.mother cat’s milk

4. Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?

A.Sharing your chocolate with your dog.

B.Letting your dog drink from the toilet.

C.Feeding your little cat with raw meat.

D.Giving your cat cooked fish.

5. According to the text, when you meet an abandoned dog, you should ______.

A.call an animal rescue group

B.bring it back to your home

C.give it first aid(急救)in time

D.help to find its owner

Most laws in the United States and Canada are similar to laws in other countries. For example, it is against the law everywhere to murder a person, and it is illegal to steal money. Everyone knows these laws, but foreign students or tourists in a new country may not know some of the local laws. For instance, a legal action in Peru may be against the law in Korea, and an illegal activity in an Asian city may be perfectly legal in a European city. On the other hand, laws may be the same in various countries but vary in different cities or states of the same nation.

In many cities in the United States, for instance, it is not legal to “jaywalk.” This law may seem strange to visitors. Sometimes they cross a street, and a police officer gives them a ticket. Then they need to pay a fine of $10 to $25. They soon learn to cross a street only in a crosswalk or at a corner. It’s against the law to cross in the middle of the street.

Most people know that states in the United States have different laws about the legal drinking age; this age varies, but in most states no one under twenty-one can buy alcohol, even beer or wine. Also, in most U.S. cities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Of course, liquor is legal in restaurants and bars, but it’s against the law to drink a can of beer, for instance, on a public street. Some people put the can in a paper bag and drink; nobody can see the beer, but it still isn’t legal. In addition, it is illegal to have an open liquor bottle inside a car.

1. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.

A.it is legal to steal money in some countries

B.Peru and Korea have completely different laws

C.there may be different local laws in a country

D.an Asian city and a European city can’t have the same law

2.The word “jaywalk” underlined in the second paragraph most probably means ______.

A.to talk with others while crossing a street

B.to have a drink while crossing a street

C.to cross in the middle of the street

D.to cross a street at a corner

3. Which of the following is legal in the United States?

A.Selling a can of beer to teenagers.

B.Having a bottle of wine in a Chinese restaurant.

C.Having an open bottle of beer inside a car.

D.Drinking a can of beer in a street without being seen.
