The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:‎ Dear son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my trouble would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you were not in prison.‎ ‎ Love, Dad Shortly, the old man received this telegram:‎ ‎“For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!”‎ At 4 am the next morning, a dozen FBI agents（联邦调查局） and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.‎ Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened, and asked him what to do next.‎ His son’s reply was :“Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you from here.”‎ No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart, there is nothing that can stop you from doing it.

Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.‎ In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term.

We cannot tell whether these ideas are true or false. But we can tell you that people have been growing chilies for centuries, and there are many kinds—about two hundred kinds of chili peppers.‎ ‎ Chilies need a warm climate to grow better. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cold, place the seeds in a glass. That will add more warmth from the sun so as to make the temperature inside higher than outside.‎ ‎ If you plant inside, fill a pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover them with some soil. Then cover the top of the pot with a piece of plastic. Place the pot in a warm area.‎ Take off the plastic when the chilies start growing; when the plants have reached ‎ about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own pot.‎ When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of pot, put each young plant into a bigger pot which is about twelve centimeters high. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to support them.‎ When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters, get rid of the tops. That will make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer(钾肥). When the weather is warm, put them outside. Make sure that they get plenty of light and water.‎ Some people like to harvest chilies when they are green. Others like to harvest them when they are red. Both give color, taste and different amounts of heat to salads, soups, dishes and other foods. ‎ ‎32. We can know from the passage that _________.‎ A. chilies can make us breathe better ‎ B. chilies can give our body more energy C. chilies has been grown for a long time.‎ D. a red chili is hotter than a green one ‎33. In the cool weather , the glass which the chili seeds are placed in can ___________.‎ A. increase the temperature inside B. make the air inside cleaner C. stop the sun drying up the seeds D. stop wind blowing away the seeds ‎34. What’s the right order to plant chilies inside?‎ ‎ ①. Getting rid of the tops of the chili plants.‎ ‎②. Covering the top of the pot with plastic ‎③. Dropping chili seeds onto the soil in the pot.‎ ‎④. Giving potash fertilizer to the chili plants.‎ A.②③①④ B. ①④②③ C. ①③②④ D. ③②①④‎ ‎35.What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The meanings of planting chilies B. The steps of planting chilies ‎ C. The advantages of planting chilies D. The varieties of chilies 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are planning to organize a summer camp, you need to have a good plan of action.
