A
At a certain tie in our lives we consider every place as the possible site for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen iles of where I live. In iagination I have bought all the fars, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I cae to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner copleted the sale with e, his wife changed her ind and wished to keep it, and he offered e additional dollars to return the far to hi. However, I let hi keep the additional dollars and sold hi the far for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell far to e was its position, being about two iles fro the village, half a ile fro the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated fro the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for soe tie. I reebered fro y earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out soe rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away soe young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he ade any ore of his iproveents. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large far. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncoitted (无牵挂的). It akes but little difference whether you own a far or not.

In a oent of personal crisis, how uch help can you expect fro a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One orning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s y first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a an in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask e why, but nobody asked. The only response cae fro a Ghanaian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”
Taxi drivers were uniforly sypathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is Aerica,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against y plan to burn down y boss’s house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit fro y loss of hope; he refused to take e to the iddle of George Washington Bridge—a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go hoe and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski ask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried calling a taxi five ties outside different banks. The driver picked e up every tie. y ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
“Let’s go across the park.” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000.”
“$25,000?” he asked.
“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”
“No, an. I work 8 hours and I don’t ake alost $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”
As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Cheical Bank.
“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a inute while I go inside?”
“No, I can’t wait. Pay e no” His reluctance ay have soething to do with oney—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting tie is too low—but I think he wanted e to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
61. Fro the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ____.
A. he was indifferent to the killing B. he was afraid of the author
C. he looked down upon the author D. he thought the author was crazy
62. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the iddle of the George Washington Bridge?
A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B. Because he wanted to go hoe and relax.
C. Because it was far away fro his hoe.
D. Because he thought that the author would coit suicide.
63. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wait outside the Cheical bank”?
A. The driver was too busy to wait.
B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave hi as soon as possible.
D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape fro a bank robbery.
64. Which of the following stateents is true about New York taxi drivers?
A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B. they often refuse to pick up those who would kill theselves.

ulch(护盖物;护根层) is iportant to farers. ulch is a protective cover of aterial that is spread on top of soil. It is usually ade out of organic aterial, like crop waste. Farers ay keep the reains of aize or other crops on top of the soil. This creates ulch on the soil surface. The plant reains help protect the soil against wind and water daage. ulching is one of the best things people can do for their plants. ulch not only protects the soil against wind and water daage.It also helps keep the soil fro getting too dry, and reduces the need for watering plants. It also liits teperature changes in the soil. And it stops unwanted plants, or weeds, fro growing.
　　Organic ulch iproves the condition of soil. As the ulch breaks down, it provides aterial which keeps the soil fro getting hard. This iproves the growth of roots and increases the oveent of water through the soil. It also iproves the ability of the soil to hold water. Organic ulch contains nutrients for plants. It also provides a good environent for earthwors and other helpful organiss in the soil.
　　The United States Departent of Agriculture says it is easy to find organic ulch aterials. Cut-up leaves and sall pieces of tree bark can be used. Grass cuttings are also a good ulch for plants. ulch fro newspapers works well in controlling weeds.
　　The best tie to add ulch depends on your goal. ulch provides a thick barrier between the soil and the air. This helps to reduce teperature changes in the soil. As a result, ulched soil will be cooler than other soil in the suer. In winter, the ulched soil ay not freeze as deeply as other soil. The best tie is after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest weather arrives. Spreading ulch before the ground has frozen ay attract sall anials searching for a war place to spend the winter. Delaying the spreading should prevent this proble. The anials will probably find another place to live.
66. The author tells us the following EXCEPT ___________.
A. what ulch is and its benefits
B. the best tie to add ulch
C. what can be ulch on the soil surface
D. the bad effects of ulch
67. The following can be used as organic aterials to ake ulch EXCEPT _______.
A. tree barksB. cut-up leavesC. grass cuttingsD. plastic
68. Which of the following is the benefit of ulch?
A. Protecting the soil against wind and water daage.
B. Keeping the soil wet and reducing the need for watering plants
C. Reducing teperature changes in the soil and stopping unwanted weeds growing.
D. All of the above.
69. The ain idea of Paragraph 2 is that organic ulch can ______.
A. iprove the condition of soil
B. iprove the ability of the soil to hold water
C. provide a good environent for earthwors
D. iprove the growth of roots and increase the oveent of water through the soil
70. Fro the last paragraph, we know ______.
A. the best tie to add ulch is in spring and suer
B. the best tie to add ulch is after the coldest weather arrives
C. the best tie to add ulch depends on weather
D. choosing the best tie to add ulch can avoid attracting sall anials
