Farms Appear in Cities
When you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops. But
scientists say that the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.
It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops indoors already ex
ists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses.
Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their
own greenhouse.
Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of
land. Growing crops in tall buildings—called vertical farming(垂直农业)—
can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats fr
om insects and bad weather.
Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms.
The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be
used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.
But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to con
trol climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For exa
mple, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.
That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts su
ggest it may take about 5 to 10 years before the first vertical farms could be created.

A Good Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the
United States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us? For me, I hope to be
the hero of the class.
I was not disappointed. All my classmates admitted my experience, and I quickly became wel
l known as “the French guy”. I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many
things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to clas
sical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.
I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I had few
friends, and fewer good friends. When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many pe
ople around me. I kept talking proudly about my experience. And I thought myself better than thos
e around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.
I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again
! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.

When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for fives years. I did not tell e
veryone that I lived in Europe. I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself
. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.
Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well wo
rth it.
11. When I first moved to the US, I was very popular because of my ________.
A. good appearance B. outstanding talents
C. French accent D. overseas experience
12. I had few good friends partly because I ________.
A. looked down upon my classmates B. liked listening to classical music
C. never went to the movies D. came from a very rich family
13. The phrase “an idiot”(Line 2, Para. 3) most probably means ________.
A. an actor B. a cheater C. a fool D. a loser
14. When we moved to California, I stopped ________.
A. boasting about my experience B. talking about people around me
C. enjoying the classical music alone D. making friends with my classmates
15. The writer would probably agree that ________.
A. good friends like the same kind of music
B. friends are more important than anything else

Dormitory Life

make this experience positive, dormitory life can become a misery. When you choose to live in a c

g with people. You will also learn to ignore things that you can’t change. But in the future, you wil

4) When you live in a dormitory, you can enjoy a wider range of campus services, which are not
available to those who live off campus. If you have any school related problems, you have no diff

in a dormitory is your best choice.
