2、ugh the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather.

4、row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.

18、passage _.A. in a guidebook B. in a magazine C. in a text book D. on a webpageCThe spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature. David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Min

19、nesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt(采纳) what has been called the West

20、ern diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.

21、they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia.

22、iod. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on. And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment.

23、 greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.

28、eer. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used d

29、irectly in a job, they may have indirect value.

31、work on time, to follow rules and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself

32、. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a number of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.
