One of the largest youth organizations in the world is the 4-H，an organization of clubs for young people between 9 and 19．The main purpose of 4-H is to provide young people with the practical skills and understanding they will need to become useful members of their communities．The four H’s stand for head，heart，hands，and health．

When4-H clubs first began in America in the early 1900s，members were mostly young people from rural areas．The focus was on farm projects，such as raising pigs and growing and canning food．Today over 75％of the club members come from towns，cities，and suburbs，and hundreds of projects exist，each adapted to its geographical area．While rural districts choose conservation，forestry，and farm management projects，projects in urban areas often involve nutrition，health，car care，and money management．

The 4-H program in America is a joint service of the U．S．Department of Agriculture，state universities，and county governments．Additional funding(资助)is provided by business firms and private organizations. Members of the clubs are guided by volunteer adult leaders and their teenage assistants. In the clubs，4-H’ers learn about and work on solving serious problems that face their communities，issues like environmental protection and community safety．

In addition to the 4-H clubs in the U．S．states and territories，more than eighty countries have adapted the 4-H idea to fit their own needs．In the less developed countries，many clubs offer courses in proper nutrition and in new farming technology．

If you are trying to achieve big goals in your life and work, the chances are that, from time to time, you hit rock bottom. Nothing works, nothing goes right, and nothing succeeds. At times like these, you may feel like throwing in the towel. But before you do, read the following story. It might just change your mind.

One day, a small business owner decided he'd had enough. Enough of the endless work, enough of the lack of response, enough of the disturbing loneliness.

He went into the woods to have one last talk to the wise man. “Mr. wise man，” he said. “Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't give up？”

The answer took him by surprise. “Look around you，” the wise man said. “Do you see the fern (蕨类植物)and the bamboo？”

“Yes”， the man replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo, I took very good care of them. I gave them both equal amounts of food and water. I gave them sunlight in spring and protected them from the storms in autumn. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In the second year, the fern grew even better than before but nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not give up. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. Still would not give up.”

Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽)came out from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small. But day by day the sprout grew. Within six months, the sprout had risen to a height of 100 feet. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.“Did you know, young man, that all this time you have been struggling, you have been growing? Grow the roots that you need to produce your fruit.”

“Don't compare yourself to others. All things have different purposes, and different journeys. The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Yourtime will come. You will rise high.”

The small business owner left the forest. And never went back.

If nothing seems like it is happening in your life, despite all the work you're putting in, remember that you're probably growing roots not fruit. Stick with it. One day not far from now, there'll be a great harvest.

28.The underlined phrase “throwing in the towel” in Paragraph l probably means ________.

A．crying outB．showing off

C．giving upD．running away

29.After the wise man planted the fern and the bamboo，________

A．he cared for the fern only

B．they didn't receive any care from him

C．he gave up the bamboo in the fifth year

D．the bamboo seed never stopped growing

30.From the passage we can conclude that the small business owner will________.

A．not turn to the wise man for help again

B．not give up in face of difficulties

C．give up his business later

D．grow some bamboo later

31. Which of the following best describes the story in the passage?

A．Never give up hope.

B．Practice makes perfect.

C．Time and tide wait for nobody.

D．One should try and achieve bigger goals in life.

D

Culture and Cuisine

The United States is known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine(烹饪)and he's likely to answer，“McDonalds.”Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it.

Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.

So what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork, beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.

The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South. The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions—and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation. That's right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah. Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.

In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times.

32. According to the passage, American cuisine impresses people as being ________.

A．dull and changeless

B．rich and various

C．popular and delicious

D．disagreeable and unpleasant

33. It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that ________.

A．cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America

B．American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in variety

C．American cuisine tends to vary because of immigration

D．American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines

34. From the passage, we know that grits and gravy ________.

A．were cooked with new materials after the Civil War

B．are gaining popularity in the south of America

C．were more popular over ten years ago

D．are seldom served in restaurants

35. What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America?

A．Concerned and cautious.B．Hopeless and doubtful.

C．Positive and supportive.D．Critical and disapproving.

Another48 Americans respect is perseverance(毅力）.Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a 49?The rabbit thought he could50 easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not 51.

Compassion can even turn into a positive55.In autumn 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians 56by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida 57the favor.
