第一节 阅读下面两篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中。选出最佳选项。
A
You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign on the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell about the beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

When you walk into Croppy's Italian restaurant，it looks like many other warm and lively eating places on the popular U Street．There are friendly waiters and hungry eaters enjoying food．But Croppy's is different from other restaurants because of the careful way it is managed by its owners，Carlos Anaya and his sister Nora．
Almost all of the salads，pizzas，meats and pastas served at Croppy’s are organic．Mister Anaya buys seasonal foods from local producers who follow sustainable practices．
They actually visit the farms to see exactly where everything comes from．Mister Anaya even buys the flour(面粉) for his pastas from an American producer so that he does not have to import flour from as far away as Italy．Also，all the electricity used at Croppy’s is wind—generated so it does not cause pollution．And，all cooking in the kitchen is done with only two hot water boilers for pasta and a wood—burning oven．The restaurant saves on water and energy by not using tablecloths．
Carlos Anaya knew he wanted to make the business even greener．He says that owning Croppy's is a good example of the American Dream．Croppy’s owners and visitors can feel good about the food they are making and eating because it is delicious，healthful and sustainably produced．
