    Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.

    Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today's people sit indoors for too long and don't get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It's a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D. It helps your bodies use calcium (钙), which is necessary to keep your bones (骨骼) strong.

    It gets them off computers, televisions and phones. Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of “No pains, no gains.”

    Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

19. 阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。C
    Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme (酵素) that eats plastics (塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.
    The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.
    The researchers made the discovery (发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids (氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme's plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.
    John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We've made an improved enzyme. It's better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”
    The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量地). “We'll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.

20. 阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

D

    A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.

    Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee (难民). When he was three years old, his village was burnt in the war. He was separated from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20,000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia's Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.

    When he was 16, Kher went to the United States. While he was in college, he started a program to help the refugees. Now, he owns a coffee company (公司) called 734, which is part of his program. The company has helped more than 200,000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said, “I know the difficulties and pains they face every day. You see kids die from hunger. You see kids dying of illnesses. You see kids running away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home, but die on the way.”

    Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees to help themselves. For example, a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net (网) for a refugee. They can fish fir themselves.

    Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington, D.C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it. The coffee tastes delicious, so it's a win-win on both sides.

Jasper, 26, actor

You're not alone.

    Sometimes when you're a teenager, you feel as if you're all alone and there's  you can talk to. Do you know twenty to thirty percent of teenagers in the US have a hard   going through the period? They feel lonely and sad. I think life is so much easier if you  your troubles with others. I regret that I didn't take the advice when someone gave it to me.

Steve, 27, teacher

Your teachers only want what's best for you.

    When I was in school, I never thought I'd become a teacher. I acted badly in class, and I feel about that now. I love my job and I know how challenging it is, so I hope kids can show their teachers more respect (尊敬). I hope kids can  that teachers push them to do their best and not just to give them a hard time.

Anna, 29, doctor

Money doesn't grow on trees.

    When I was a teenager, I never learned to save money. I just spent it! My parents gave me everything I wanted, but I realize now they spent little  themselves. Now I wish I knew more about planning my money, and I am not the only one! It seems that today's teenagers know about money planning even less    me years ago. I do wish they could learn about it earlier.
