A
For as long as humans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a spoken language problem, communication can be carried out through sign language, in which gestures stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have often had to turn to this form of expression. When gestures describe words or ideas, they can often be used internationally. When used for spelling words however, where each gesture stands for a single letter, people must share the same written language.21·cn·jy·com
Body language ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Other forms of languag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e can be found in Braille (a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

As you know, d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifferent countries have different customs. Also there are many gestures showing many meanings in many countries. Here are a few examples of gestures.www-2-1-cnjy-com
A fisherman in Britai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n will show the size of the fish he has caught by holding his two hands, palms (手掌) facing each other, the right distance apart in front of him. But the one from certain part of Africa will measure off the size along his left arm with his right hand. In Britain the gesture to show the number “one” is made by holding up the index finger(the second finger), but in Switzerland it is the thumb — the first finger which is held up. Some people point at objects with fingers, others by sticking out the lips. The gesture for “come here” is made in Britain with the index finger, which is held, pointing upwards, at eye level and bent towards the body；in Egypt the hand is held at arm's length, palm downwards, and the fingers are then bent.2-1-c-n-j-y

All young peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple dream of travelling around the world. They are restless and very eager to see new sights. However, they have no idea how they would really do it if given the chance, because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, and they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there.21教育网
Already hundreds of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thousands of Chinese student tourists are visiting these places — Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh.

The World Tourist Organization predicts that a quarter of a century from now the number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today. The largest percentage of these tourists will visit Southeast Asia. Not all Chinese who travel abroad will be tourists. More and more youths are deciding to volunteer their skills in this region, much like their peers in the Peace Corps and VSO.2-1-c-n-j-y

In 1918, the Save the Redwoods League was formed in an effort to protect the area, and by 1920 many state parks were set up. Redwood National Park was created in 1968 even though about 90% of the original redwood trees had already been cut down.21cnjy.com

If you are going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on a visit to the United States, the following may be helpful.21世纪教育网版权所有
Most people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shake hands and look at each other's eyes when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug; a man may kiss a woman quickly on one side of her face. Men don't usually hug one another; instead they shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship.　　21*cnjy*com
There are two common w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays to ask someone to come over to you. Sometimes, people raise an index finger (食指) and then bend and straighten it quickly. Other times, they raise a hand and curl (卷曲) the fingers quickly towards themselves. Both ways are polite. To call a waiter, people just raise one index finger to head level or above.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
It is common for peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple to use the hand and index finger to express their feelings. In the United States, if mothers are angry with children, they may shake an index finger at them. People may show that they like children by gently touching their head.【版权所有：21教育】

Fashion has alw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays been about change — creating a reason for the customer to buy something new. The next 30 years of the sale will be all about the customer's interests. And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire (需求). “The easiest thing to say is, it will be different，” says Nordstrom, president of one of AmericA s oldest department stores. “There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product. What that product is, how we satisfy the customer, that's_open.”21cnjy.com
In many ways, this “di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fferent” world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA, with technology as the driving force. Think digital (数字的) fitting rooms, where technology simulates (模拟) body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit. Or 3 D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes. Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper's personal data to learn about their tastes and interests.
Stores will s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )till have a presence, but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience — touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped. Where customers shop, increasingly, won't matter. A person could shop from home, from a car or even on the subway.
Intel has designed a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them — avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room. When the shopper of the future is ready to cheek out, a cellphone will do. “The cash registers (收银机) of today won't exist anymore，” Nordstrom says. “We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile, but don't expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen.”21教育网

A minor planet was named after him, which was the first time a Chinese scientist's name is so valued.
Yuan came up wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of ChinA s total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output.

Some people asked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) him to move the focus of his research from improving amounts of hybrid rice to the quality and taste, which would be easier to do. But he insisted that the amount of hybrid rice's per unit yield is still more important than the quality, for his first task is to improve the grain reserve in developing countries.21·世纪*教育网

A
The “Thumbs Up”
While Western cult ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure has become used to the thumbs up as a positive signal (probably coming from World War Ⅱ pilots using the signal to communicate that they were “good to go” with ground crews), there are cultures where a thumbs up may land you in trouble. In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs up is pretty much the biggest insult (侮辱)．21世纪教育网版权所有
Rather more charming ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a thumbs up in Germany and in parts of Japan they just see it as the hand signal for the number one.
The “A OK”
This sign is mainly u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sed by divers (潜水员) to mean “OK” (to prevent being confused with the thumbs up sign, which means “rise”). Basically the meaning comes out as “great”， or “completely fine”. However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you're telling them that you think they're a “zero”．2·1·c·n·j·y
The “V Sign”
The sign com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es in two formats. One with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing — “victory”. However，if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you're giving somebody a long established insult in Great Britain and many English speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill famously used the “incorrect” version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.2-1-c-n-j-y
The “Corna”
The corna ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd gesture has most recently been adopted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean “rock on”， or in support of the University of Texas in Austin(known as the “Hook' em Horns”). Today it is still popular in Spain，Brazil and Slovakia (斯洛伐克). Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece.21教育网
1．The pilots in World ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) War Ⅱ used to make the “Thumbs Up ” sign to show ________.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A. the plane was very good
B. the plane was ready to take off
C. they were going to land on the ground
D. they were thankful to the ground crews
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。根据The“Thumbs Up”中的叙述可知二战期间飞行员用该手势表示已准备好起飞。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
2．What information can we get from the passage

This summer, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thousands of visitors are walking through a garden in the sky right in the middle of New York City. They are enjoying a beautiful, new park called the High Line, which was built on old railway tracks.
After the railway was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) abandoned in 1980, wild plants, grass and trees began to grow between the tracks. A few people looked at this natural garden and saw something amazing. They worked to preserve the area when others wanted to destroy it. Today, the High Line attracts up to 2 million visitors per year. This summer, the new part of the High Line opened, almost doubling the park's size to one mile.2·1·c·n·j·y
The design of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the park is unusual. The new section includes many activities for children. Young people can use building toys to create all kinds of structures.

Not many wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )men have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Until 2004, no African woman ever had. That was when Dr. Wangari Maathai won it — for planting trees. You might ask, what do trees have to do with peace
“Many wars are fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ught over resources (资源)，” Dr. Maathai said as she accepted the prize. “If we conserve resources better, the fighting will stop.”
Dr. Maathai was born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in Kenya in 1940. Unlike most African women, she went to school. High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge. She went to college in Kansas and earned a master's degree in science from the University of Pittsburgh. She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph.D. Later, Dr. Maathai taught animal science at KenyA s University of Nairobi.
As an educated woman ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Dr. Maathai feels responsible for leading others. Dr. Maathai started her work in 1977 by planting nine trees in her backyard in Kenya. Trees are important in Africa for several reasons. First, they keep soil from eroding (流失) into streams, thus cutting down on pollution and improving the soil. Second, trees provide firewood. So many trees have been cut down in Africa that women must walk far from home to find wood for cooking. New trees can also keep deserts from spreading.
Dr. Maathai's Gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en Belt Movement pays local women for every tree they plant that is still alive three months later. In its first 15 years, the Green Belt Movement employed at least 50,000 women and planted more than 10 million trees. Following Dr. Maathai's example, the Kenyan government increased its own tree planting efforts. The movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa.
When the lan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d and people's lives have improved, Dr. Maathai says, peace will follow.

1．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “conserve” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

答案与解析　B　词义猜测题。根据第二段的“M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any wars are fought over resources”以及下文描述种树带来的诸多益处可知，如果资源能很好地被保护，那么以争夺资源为由的战争也就会停止。由此可知，conserve意为“保护”。21cnjy.com
2．Dr. Wangari Maathai is the first African woman to ________.
A. win the Nobel Peace Prize
B. encourage people to plant trees
C. get a master's degree in science

A
Though I have twin si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sters who are a year younger than I am, I still wanted one more guy in the house when I was 5 or 6. In 2002, my mom and dad went back to the adoption agency (收养机构) in Korea where they got my sisters and me. They came home with George.www.21-cn-jy.com
He seemed fine at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) first. But six months later, when he was around 1, my mom and dad told us George wouldn't grow up like us. They said George has autism (自闭症) and that he'd have more challenges. One day my parents brought home some sign language videos. They said we were all going to learn signing together. That was when I knew George might never talk.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Living with George ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n be a roller coaster ride. He wants to play all the time, which makes him lovable. But he can be aggressive (有攻击性的). If he doesn't get what he wants, he throws_a_fit. When George acts like this at home, I take him to the couch or the floor and lie with him until he cools off. That's my role. I often have to hold him down when he loses control of himself. I'm the only one in my home who is strong enough to handle George physically at this point, which is difficult.　　21*cnjy*com
I thought having a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) brother would mean I'd have someone on my side all the time. I thought that if I had a fight with my sisters, I'd have him at my back. It didn't end up that way. But the people in your life are there for a reason. Having George in the family has made us all closer. He's not only a connection point, but a responsibility that we all share. It has taught us to compromise (妥协)．【出处：21教育名师】

Most people are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) familiar with white table salt. But if you think that salt is just a number of tiny white crystals (结晶体), you're mistaken. This common seasoning (调味品) has many different colors and flavors.
French sea salt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )comes from seawater. The delicious white sea salt keeps more of the minerals that naturally occur in seawater. The mild (淡的) flavor of this salt makes it a popular choice for meals. It is perfect for use on salads, cooked fresh vegetables and meat. Some people even like to put it on chocolate cakes and biscuits.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Hawaiian sea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) salt, on the other hand, has a rosy color that comes from the earth in the area. A natural mineral called “Alae” is added to enrich the salt and gives the salt its special red color. It is the traditional seasoning for native Hawaiian dishes such as pork dishes.21教育网
Like Hawaiian sea s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alt, Australian river salt is also pink. Its color, however, comes from sea plants in the groundwater. The soft pink salt melts easily on warm foods.21*cnjy*com
Mediterranean ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )black salt looks like coal. This salt is made by mixing sea salt from the Mediterranean Sea with a kind of burned wood. The dark crystals, unlike the other salts mentioned, add a strong color to the dishes.21世纪教育网版权所有
Tasting different sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lts is a wonderful way to travel the world without leaving home! Try putting one of the many kinds of salt on your food and enjoy the special flavor.21·cn·jy·com

7．Which of the following has the lightest color
A. Mediterranean black salt.
B. French sea salt.

We went on too many r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oller coasters. At first, they were all very exciting and I screamed on all of them until my lungs (肺) hurt. My friends wanted to ride more of them, and so for three hours we didn't stop to rest. We went on the Head Knocker, the Crazy Coaster, and the Monster Masher before I started feeling really sick. I finally threw up on the Tooth Rattler roller coaster.21·世纪*教育网
That was when my frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds decided that we needed a lunch break if they wanted me to survive the whole day. My stomach was still feeling awful, but they insisted that I needed to eat if I was going to have enough energy for the rest of the day. I spent six dollars on a large order of fries. I picked up the saltshaker (盐瓶), and to my surprise the top fell off, spilling a pile of salt on my food. My fries were ruined!www-2-1-cnjy-com
By now I was re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally upset and my face was red, so my friends suggested we go on a water ride so I could cool down. I thought it was a good idea, but when we rode it, I forgot to take my glasses off. At one point, they fell off and into the water. I watched helplessly as they sank to the bottom while we kept rushing forward in our raft (橡皮船). I had to go through the rest of the day blind. I have decided that I will never go to Magic Land again, even if someone offered me a million dollars to do it!

About the y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear 1900, a small, dark－haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London Theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance; above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn't get work and so he wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years lat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er this name Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's filmstrips (胶片). People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films though most of them are silent. It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn't depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words，common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It's a kind of world language.【版权所有：21教育】
Chaplin lived most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day, 1977, at the age of eighty eight. The world was astonished at the news of the death and burst into sadness.

About twenty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.www.21-cn-jy.com
Just before her high ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother's eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words. “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed (给……做框) and hung in my office.2·1·c·n·j·y
Years passed with ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine.

What you communic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate through your body language and nonverbal signals affects how others see you, how well they like and respect you, and whether or not they trust you. Unfortunately, many people send confusing nonverbal signals without even knowing it.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Jack, Ted and Arlene ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are all speakers who have got disastrous results while communicating with others.
Jack believes he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gets along great with others, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that Jack makes them feel afraid. Rather than just look at you, he seems to eat you with his eyes. And he often shakes your hand so hard that it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes he had more friends, but his nonverbal awkwardness (笨拙) keeps people at a distance.
Ted is good looki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng, hard working, and a smooth talker, but he seems to care more about his thoughts than others. When someone has something to say, TeD s wild eyes make him look like he wants to speak before they have finished. His inability to listen to others makes him unpopular with many people.
Arlene is funny and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )attractive, but even though she keeps laughing and smiling, she looks nervous. Her shoulders and eyebrows (眉毛) are noticeably raised, her voice is high, and her body is stiff. Being around Arlene makes many people feel uncomfortable.
These smart, w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ell intentioned people try their best to connect with others. The sad thing is that they have no idea of the nonverbal messages they communicate. If you want to communicate effectively, avoid misunderstandings, and enjoy trusting relationships, it's important to understand how to use body language.

Jessie, a stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent from Shanghai, is studying in Chicago. The following entries are taken from her blog (博客) during her first three months in the United States.21·世纪*教育网
August 31
People often refer to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Shanghai as “The Sleepless City，” but I didn't understand why until I got to Chicago. I was window shopping with another student this evening when suddenly the store owners started pulling down their gates and locking their doors. Soon the whole street was closed, even though it wasn't dark yet. I've never seen this in Shanghai, where the busiest streets “stay awake” all night. You can go out to restaurants, stores, and movies even long after midnight.【出处：21教育名师】
September 5
After the first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )week of class, I've found some differences between Chinese students and American students. Whenever a teacher asks a question, my classmates immediately shout out their answers. And some of them interrupt (打断) the teacher. In Shanghai, we're usually quiet in class so that the teacher can finish on time. We usually ask the teacher questions afterward.【版权所有：21教育】

I met an interesti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng girl in an Internet café today. I was writing an email to my mother, and she asked me what language I was using.

2．How do American students behave in class

We're going to help her do it
Beth Wangari is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a farmer in Kenya. She's one of 450 million smallholder (耕种小块农田者) farmers worldwide. Together, they produce over 25% of the worlD s food supply. But they could do much more. Across Sub Saharan Africa, the average farm produces only 1.3 tonnes of maize (玉米) per hectare (公顷). In North America, a farm produces 7 times as much.
What Beth needs is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he technology and skills that can help her get more from her land.21教育网
As one of the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orlD s leading agricultural companies, Syngenta helps farmers across the world to raise harvests while saving water and soil. This is part of what we call The Good Growth Plan.
The Good Growth Plan
We promise to help fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmers get through four major challenges by the year 2020.
1．Increase th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e average productivity of the worlD s major crops by 20% without using more land or water.
2．Increase the biod ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iversity (生物多样性) of 5 million hectares of farmland.

A. Travelling around North America.
B. Working together with other farmers.
C. Having a better harvest from the farmland.
D. Producing 25% of the worlD s food supply.

2．What will Syngenta probably supply to Beth Wangari
A. More labor.
B. Lots of maize.

All the passenge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” — my stop was quickly coming up. I had few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was picking up, or left it there.21世纪教育网版权所有
In those few minute ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread Would they think that I was poor and hungry Would they think that I was stealing？” The only thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldn't get rid of the huge sense of guilt and regret.　　21*cnjy*com
My thoughts o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness 21cnjy.com
Just as the doors o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt terrible, but I didn't care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queen's park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.21教育名师原创作品

Organic food is very p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )opular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.21·cn·jy·com
There is one main ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )difference between organic and non organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This guarantees that the products are natural.2-1-c-n-j-y
Some people think “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )organic” means “locally grown”. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

One day Robin Hood ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was walking alone in the wood, and reached a river. There was a very narrow (狭窄的) bridge. In the middle stood a stranger, and Robin ordered him to go back and let him go over. “I am no man of yours，” replied the stranger. In anger Robin tried to shoot at the man. “Would you shoot a man who has no arms but a stick？” asked the stranger in scorn (轻蔑). With shame Robin laid down his bow (弓) and held a stick in his hand. And they fought. Robin received such a heavy blow that he rolled over into the river. “You are a brave man，” said Robin, all wet. After walking through the water to the land, he blew his horn (号) which brought fifty of his followers in green to the bridge.21cnjy.com

For a long time after ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn't like your tough guy attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15 year olD s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
What I have lea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rned is that I am much like you. You taught me self confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I've realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced, you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.　　21*cnjy*com
You taught me not to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pend money I don't have. I've always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.
You were not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my had. I am still Daddy's girl and I am proud of it.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

If you want your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) land to keep fertile, you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or winds. When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds, we call it soil erosion. Ways have been found to stop soil erosion, and this is known as soil conservation. One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grasses. These plants are referred to as cover_crops,_whose roots hold the soil tightly together. The rain water cannot wash away the soil. When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field, soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place. The trees and bushes, which act as a very big and firm wall, protect the open land from the winds. The way to stop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside. When the slope of a hillside is cut into “steps”， water carrying soil cannot run straight down the terraces, which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it. In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces, much soil in it is kept.2·1·c·n·j·y

Farmers can produce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) more by planting several different crops in the same field. But their success depends on which crops they plant together and how they mix (混合) them in the field. Until now, the only way the farmers could learn which crops grow best together was to plant them and wait for the results. Now however, a computer can give them answers. A new computer program written by Dr John Vanderwell of Michigan University can tell a farmer which plants grow well together and which do not. It can tell him how to plant the different crops; if he should plant each in a separate row, or mix the crops in the same row.
