2．When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van，learning from expert bakers，she wanted to do something similar.So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.
Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy，built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway.Renovations （改裝） were mainly done by her and her dad.Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides，offering a lot of storage space，while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga.The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay's work and hobbies.As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help，but also the rest of her family.Lemay's mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions，and her sister crafted the leather pulls.
Her current nomadic （流浪式的） lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks，voiceovers，and publishing work.In the end，this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable，now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water，electricity，and other daily resources that she uses.But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom.
"It's almost mind-blowing，it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online，and I can do things on my own schedule.Most of my days are mine-so by living in the van，I can be where I want to be，and do the things I want to do，and spend time outside. "

3．Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence（生物發(fā)光）but，for many of us，seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat：Catching the glow（光）of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.
Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms.Observing plant's health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health，and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.
A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality.The study authors announce they've created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter，and for a longer period of time，than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.
The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant，a biotech startup in Moscow.When this team examined a poisonous mushroom，they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its biolumjye.aiescence.In this new study，the team employed that information and inserted（嵌入）enzymes（酶） —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants.In turn，the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants，and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.
This method，the scientists claimed，made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn't harm the health of the plants.Interestingly，the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged.In turn，the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment.If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant，bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it's too late.
（1）How can people quickly identify a decorative flower's health condition？
A．By monitoring its glow.
B．By making it greener.
C．By testing the chemicals in it.
D．By putting it in the living room.
（2）What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants？
A．They may take the place of lamps.
B．They will appear on the market.
C．They can light up a whole living room.
D．They glow less bright than previous efforts.
（3）What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study？
A．They inserted caffeic acid into it.
B．They made it give out brighter light.
C．They grew it on the tobacco plants farm.
D．They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A．Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.
B．Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.
C．Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.
D．Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5

9．"Look at the little dog!"a girl screamed from across the street."She's got rain boots!"I smiled and waved.Yes，Velma had her own rain boots，her own raincoat，both of which matched the leash（拴繩）I was holding and the bow in her hair.I would never have put clothes on any animal I owned，but Velma wasn't my dog.I'd just offered to walk her this morning when my neighbor Arlene suffered from her seasonal muscle pain.
Velma was adorable.A real sweetie.A shih tzu（西施犬）who weighed no more than five pounds，she looked like a tiny mop running down the street.When Arlene had asked me to walk Velma，I'd been happy to volunteer.I was less pleased when Arlene made me spend 20 minutes dressing her up.
Once outside，I'd expected to walk Velma around the block quickly.But with all the people stopping me every few minutes to comment on the little dog and her clothing，it was taking me forever.It was a relief to get her back home.I had done my good deed and could finally go off to work before I was late.
"Thank you so much，"Arlene said at the door.I turned to go."So I'll see you again at noon."
"Wait，what？"
"That's when Velma gets her next walk，"Arlene said，as if I'd somehow agreed to a whole daily schedule.
"I'm sorry，but I have to be at work."
"Oh，I guess we'll see you at six then."
"Great."I said，making my escape.I was a quarter block away before it dawned on me that I'd just agreed to walk her dog again at six!How had I let that happen？Was I that much of a people-pleaser that I automatically did things I really didn't want to do？
That day was just the beginning.All the next week，Arlene"reminded"me to walk Velma at various times
throughout the day.I tried to tell her no，but eventually I'd just get tongue-tied and give in.
Para.1 ：
After that terrible week as Velma's "permanent"dog walker，I couldn't take it any more.
______
Para.2：
"I really appreciate all you did for us，"Arlene said."Thank you，Linda."
