In the 1940s, villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. Zhang Guishun
7、, the Party secretary of Shashiyu, encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty. “In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work, why cant we? Nobody was born to be poor?” Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a
8、 difference. Led by the Communist Party of China（中国共产党）, the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to. 1971, they reclaimed（开垦）lots of land and greatly improved their life. However, the village encountered a new problem two decades lat
9、er as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in 1990s. The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started grape cultivation, which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu. In 2009, the city-level government invested over 1 million yuan
10、($152, 723) to change the villages exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier generations. After 10 years, the village was called “National Forest Village”.

14、ewspaper.CIna sports magazine.DIn a science bookWhen I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didnt eat at one meal was leftovers（剩菜）. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough
15、, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon （煎培根）for us in the mornings, she would always take
16、 the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didnt actually taste like bacon!I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the
17、weeks meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to liv
18、ing, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you dont live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.16The writers grandma used the leftover potatoes to _.Amix with noodlesBboil some

Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other. It h
22、as been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “Im being attacked!” When another plant gets the c
23、hemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps（黄蜂; 蜜蜂）! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
24、More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People cant hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Com and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing
25、 system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web” . The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi（霉菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide
26、web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the
27、 wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.21What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?AThey will kill the insects by
