In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard, the pay was poor; What’s more, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did receive a low pay.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.

22、By the year 2050, Earth’s population is expected to reach nearly 10 billion people. With this growth comes a surprising demand for food resources. To find an effective way, to deal with the global food safety crisis, Enter X, Alphabet Inc launched Project Mineral, which focuses on “computational agriculture”, a term to describe new technologies that will further in- crease understanding about the plant world.
Can a machine be taught to understand the plant world? After years of work, Project Mineral leader Elliot Grant and his team’s latest prototype(原型)—a plant-scanning robot-will turn up at the Smithsonian’s “Futures” exhibition later this year. The four-wheeled plant robot, about as tall as a shipping container and as wide as a car, uses different cameras and other technology to monitor and find possible problems with plants.
As it rolls through the farmland, it can identify weeds, and measure the ripeness of fruits. The Mineral robot can become taller to take pictures of wheat plants, or widen to scan a broad bed of crops. What’s more, when the robot meets with different situations out in the field, it can accurately identify specific crops, traits or diseases.
Mineral has partnered with a farmer in the Philippines who is helping the team study diseases in bananas. Images of diseased bananas will be used to teach the robot how to detect diseases.
The robot also takes pictures of flowers and then uses the machine learning model to count a plant’s flowering speed, which is important to understand how a plant responds to its environment and predict the yields. Besides, the robot can measure all kinds of leaf sizes and detect greenness.
Though the robot has come a long way from its origin, it’s still a prototype, Mineral stresses that they’re constantly improving and working closely with experts in the agricultural field to understand plants further.
【1】What is the purpose of Project Mineral?
A．To fight the global food safety crisis.
B．To find solutions to crop diseases.
C．To improve a plant-scanning robot.
D．To solve the population problems.
【2】What is a feature of the Mineral robot?
A．It powers itself.
B．It moves with legs.
C．It looks like a ship.
D．It can adjust itself.
【3】What can the Mineral robot do?
A．Grow plants on its own.
B．Help fight insects.
C．Detect crop diseases.
D．Remove bad fruits.
【4】How does the Mineral robot predict crop yields?
A．By observing the ripeness of fruits.
B．By calculating how fast plants flower.
C．By analyzing the shape of plants’ leaves.
D．By analyzing images of diseased plants.

24、I’d been retired for four years, when a friend suggested university. I thought he was joking—I was rubbish at school and failed my 11-plus. But we love to compete over Mastermind and University challenge, and he thought I’d make it. And he was absolutely right!
I did a foundation course first, which was part time at the University Lifelong Learning Centre(LLC), two nights a week and the odd Saturday. I did quite well, and that gave me the confidence to do a full time, three year degree. I’m passionate about art and I always wanted to be here for the journey and not the destination. That sounds really corny, but it was the truth in my case.
Initially it was a bit strange fitting in with my course mates. They were all 18, straight out of sixth form or college. Over time, though, they’ve all been fine — now, we all get on really well and there is no issue. I’ve made plenty of friends as a member of the mature students society, and I do some volunteering through the LLC, chatting to prospective students about my experience of coming to university. I tell them my story and basically encourage them to give it a go because you’ve got nothing to lose. I like to think I’ve convinced a few of them.
I have no regrets at all. Enrolling in university was the best piece of advice I’ve received in years, especially post-retirement. I needed routine in my life; I needed purpose. I’m not going to spend my day in the bookies or the pub. If you’ve got a passion for something, you should pursue it.
【1】What do we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．The author often competed with his friend at university,
B．The author was satisfied with his performance at school,
C．The advice of his friend was a big challenge for the author.
D．The author’s friend told a joke when suggesting university.
【2】What was it that made him determined to pursue a full time degree?
A．His long held passion for art.

A．Knowledge is power.
B．It’s never too old to learn.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
25、 How often do you let other people’s nonsense (不理智) change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee _______ your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed _______ the airport. We were driving in the_______ lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver_______ hard on his brakes（刹车）, and at the very last moment our car stopped and _______ the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started _______at us.
My taxi driver just_______and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was_______ , so I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, _________and disappointment. As their garbage________up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on________ . Don’t take it personally; just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be________.”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and________ it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with ________. The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s ________ in your life. A study shows that________you remember bad things more often than good things in your life, you’ll think of bad things more ________ . So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you________ it! If you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by ________go of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today ________ the harvest you gain tomorrow.
