“Hey, how are you doing? What grade are you in? What's your favorite book? Yeah, I got it.”If you thought you'd walked into a library with a greeting like that, you wouldn’t be too far off. In fact, you’ve entered the workplace of Courtney Holmes, the Storybook Barber
Two years ago. Dubuque. lowa. held its first annual Back to School Bash, offering needy
families a chance to learn about free resources in the community. Holmes agreed to take part in it.He was holding down two jobs at the time one with the city's public works department, the other as a barber, Saturday was his busiest haircutting day, but he chose to devote his time to underprivileged (底层的) kids so they'd look sharp on that first day of classes. But then he had a sudden idea. \" The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me. \" Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years.Five-to ten-year-old kids would hold a favorite book, setle into the barber chair,and read aloud while Holmes Gave them a haircut.If they had any difficulty. Holmes was there to help.After the haircut, they’d,.review the book, from the characters and vocabularies to the themes--just like in school . only more fun. “These kids are eager to learn.\"said Holmes. \"And they are able to open their hearts there.\"
Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the activity. “There was a seven-year-old boy who
struggled through his book, shuttering(口吃 )over words even though he didn’t have a stutter, \"said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. \"When the child came back next time. He read it with no problems. That inspired me.\"

It sounds like science fiction, but the world's first floating dairy farm(奶牛场 )the brainchild of Dutch company Beladon, will become a reality.
Though the project has been in the works for years, the farm only recently got the green light for construction. This summer, a 900-ton platform was pulled to its current position in Rotterdam's harbor. It will soon be a multi-level home to 40 cows.
According to Peter, owner of Beladon, animal welfare was important when they were
designing the farm. The finished farm will feature a “cow garden\"on the top floor, with artificial trees and bushes to offer shade. A team of robots will be hired.collecting about 800 liters of milk per day. The milk will then be processed on the floor below and sold locally. In their free time. however, cows can walk a ramp(斜坡) to reach the firm groud on the bank.Tasty waste from the city-cut grass, potato skins, ete.- will be their main food souree And waste from the farm will be used as fertilizer throughout Rotterdam.
The building will attract many visitors, but the real focus is food security. Getting cows on the water is a great step towards creating healthier cities. The idea first came in 2012, while Peter was in New York. When Hurricane Sandy hit, he watched the city's transportation paralyzed (瘫痪的)as Manhattan's roads were filled with water. Trucks for food distribution couldn’t move anymore.After two days. there was no fresh food in the stores, Then Peter had a thought: To create a climate-adaptive method of producing fresh, local food, why not harvest right on the water?\"You going up and down with the tide, and you don’t need the transport.\"
Though it's just one small farm the project can serve as a model for cities across the globe. A
building on the water is transportable, so you can move it when necessary. 28. What do we know about the dairy farm?
A. It is meant to serve local citizes. B. It is out of the question. C. It is located in the deep sea. D. It is owned by the government. 29. How is the life of the cows on the dairy farm? A. They feed on the plants grown on the farm. B. They have access to the real land. C. They can wander in the real garden D. Their waste can be fully used aboard.
30. What is the main purpose of Beladon in building the farm? A. To improve the local environment. C. To help ensure food supply.
B. To add a new scenic spot. D. To reduce pressure on transport.
31. What's the author's attitude to the idea of building such farms? A. Indifferent. C Doubtful.
B. Worried. D Supportive.
D
Next time you find yourself tending to your flower garden, you may want to stay quiet. The flowers are listening.
According to Israeli scientists, the plants could hear bees approaching and attempt to attract them with sweeter nectar(花蜜). In several experiments, they found that playing audio recordings of buzzing bees around certain flowers would cause the sugar concentration in the nectar to rise by about 20% in less than five minutes. Such a rapid reaction by plants to sound had never previously been reported. Just to compare, the researchers also tried a higher frequency noise-like that made by a mosquito or a bat-and the flowers did not respond.
This is not the first time that they' ve reacted to what they 're hearing around them. In a 2009 study. Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society found that women's voices helped make plants grow faster. In that experiment, tomato plants were found to grow up to two inches taller when they were tended to by a female gardener. More recently, an Australian study found that some flowers were able to sense noises, such as the flow of water through a pipe.
The ability of inanimate(无生命的) objects to hear what' s around them may seem like something out of a science fiction novel, but it's real. What if we told you that a potato chip bag left on the floor of a break room could listen in an office gossip? You'd think we were crazy. right?Think again.
Researchers found that as people were talking around the potato chip bag. they were sending teeny-tiny sound vibrations(振动) into the air. Those vibrations then hit inanimate objects around the room. So next time you're at the gardens or in a grocery. be careful with what you say.Something might be listening.
32. What did Israeli scientists discover in their research? A. What plants do to sense their environment. B. How plants respond to certain sounds. C. How plants make their nectar sweeter. D. What plants do to protect themselves.
33. Why are the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To indicate that plants can actually hear what's around them. B. To stress the environment is important to plants' survival. C. To tell us many scientists are interested in plant research. D. To show that Israeli scientists aren’ t the most experienced.
34. What does the underlined word\"something\"in the last paragraph refer to? A. Some plants.
B. Sound vibrations.
D.Potato chip bags.
C.Inanimate objects.
35. What's the best title of the text? A. Flowers can actually hear your voices B. Wildlife has amazing survival skills. C.Bees can talk with garden flowers. D.Chip bags can uncover your secrets.

What to do once you achieve your goal?
Here are some basic lessons that can help you once you reach your goal, 36 These are principles that millionaire Paul Scolardi has put into practice to good effect.
Stay modest. You can celebrate your achievements. But don' t act arrogantly （傲慢低） 37 While you’ve made great progress, it's important that you shouldn't look down on those who are in the same situations as you.
38 The idea is that once you achieve a goal. you want to continue by setting a larger goal than
that. For example. if you've gained a high position at your job. an even bigger goal would be to build you own business in that particular industry.
Work harder and more wisely. Naturally, if you’re working towards a larger goal. you'll need to have more motivation and more confidence, and work even harder, But hard work isn’t all that's needed. 39 What helped you achieve this goal in the first place? What approach did you take to make all of this happen to you? So, make sure you look back and see what helped you get there.
Ignore critics. Whenever you achieve something, there will always be people who will try to drag you down. You're going to get haters or people who don't believe you. 40 Take Scolardi for example. Unless he shares his particular story of how he became a millionaire, we don’t really know what he went through to get there. A. Set bigger goals.
B. You can thus move forward in life.
C. Positive thinking is all needed for achievement.
D. All we know is that he wasn’t a millionaire and now he is. E. It also pays to work more wisely and reflect on your achievements. F. It can push people away, whether they’re friends, family, or colleagues. G.Leave them alone as your success has nothing to do with how they are feeling.

Many interesting articles from foreign friends have been published in the \"English World\" column of the website,
