He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew (炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots for about half an hour. The pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didnt look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didnt offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.4.

CDuring my high school years，the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years.They go by fast.” I remember not believing him then, but looking back.he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person，pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school，that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasnt ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only after I nailed my halftime dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college，so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didnt worry about my SAT (美国大学入学考试) scores.When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges，I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away，meeting new people, and discovering new places, while I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it！I thought college was supposed to be different！Why didnt I take more time to research colleges and do the same？I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of two.My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working fulltime and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!8. Why didnt the author worry about his SAT scores?A.

What did the authors brother mean by “Enjoy your four years.They go by fast.”？A. He wished the author to have more dance.B. He advised the author to value the years.C. He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.D. He suggested the author aim at a community college.11. Talking of his high school years，the author feels_.A. regretful B. lonelyC. angry D. pleasedDIf you followed the 2016 Olympic Games, you may have noticed that several athletes, including US swimmer Michael Phelps, had circular bruises（淤青）on their bodies. These bruises were the result of “cupping（拔火罐）therapy”, a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Main athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since, reported ABC News. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that “it really helps with blood flow”.However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from peoples feeling that the treatment works, rather than any physical effect of the treatment.To figure out cupping therapy has any physical effect, last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a false treatment was provided.In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the false treatment. But in the false treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that they couldnt create the proper suction(吸力).The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder that caused a lot of pain, were told that they would receive either traditional cupping or “soft cupping”. But they were not informed that the so-called “soft cupping” was a false treatment.It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received. In both groups, patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain. “The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself,” the researchers told the Live Science website.“The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people, the therapy can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program including other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle changing,” Dr Brent Bauer, director of the US Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic, told Live Science.12.Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in the passage?A.
