For the next two days the whole village was in 5 . But nobody in the village was 6 enough to go up to that attic and get rid of the monster,as the growls continued.
7 ,a fisherman passed by. Some days earlier his ship had sunk. He was a hard 8 and some villagers asked him to help them. The fisherman did not 9 to help,in return for a little money.

Researchers found that shorter people tended to be more 2 with their lot in life.

The volunteers were asked to 4 themselves somewhere on a " life ladder" and asked about their emotions.
5 the findings,people who were taller were also more likely to be 6 about their life and were more likely to judge themselves as happy.

My good friend Will recently asked for some advice dealing with what he calls" The Rush Hour"：... now between4:00 and5:00 has become the Rush Hour for me: how many proposals,quotes,emails,phone calls can you get out before most people head home? That hour never has enough minutes anymore.
For many the term" Rush Hour" refers to the mad rush to get home from work and relax,but many people deal with Will's version every day. It's the mad rush to finish everything you need to get done so that you can get into your car and battle the other rush hour.
Doesn't sound like a very productive way to work or loads of fun now,does it? For me,having anything wait until the last minute can be a major stress and I avoid it whenever possible. So,having trouble with "rush hour" yourself? I've got a few tips that might help.
A threestep approach can keep tasks from stacking (堆積) up in the last hour of the day.
1. Plan your day.
2. Do easy tasks first.
3. Don't procrastinate. Proper Planning Is Key.
Planning out your day(and your week and your month) can be a real help. If you take a few minutes early in the day to get a handle on what you need to do you can better manage your time and keep tasks from stacking up. Tackle Easy Stuff First.
Once you've done your planning,do yourself a favor and set aside some time to clear any small stuff off your plate. The things that tend to pile up at the end of days are usually smaller tasks,and there are usually quite a few of them. Knocking things out early on will help you build a productive momentum (推動力) for your whole day. The Early Bird Gets The Worm.
The best way to avoid" rush hour" is to be sure you've finished everything early. Make sure you're getting an early start on all your tasks. I'm a huge fan of the quick start; it really does work.
You don't even have to make significant progress on your tasks. Sometimes even the smallest effort at the beginning can make a ton of difference in the long run. Just remember,every little bit you can get done early is a bit you won't have to deal with during your"rush hour".
( ) 5. A good suggestion to dealing with "rush hour" is that .
A. you'd better finish all the tasks as early as you can
B. you'd better get a handle on what you need to do after the task
C. you'd better get home from work earlier than usual
D. you'd better come to the difficult jobs first
( ) 6. Which of the following words has the same meaning as the underlined word "procrastinate"?
A. Delay. B. Produce. C. Obtain. D. Hurry.
( ) 7. In which of the following situations the" Rush hour" will come to you more often?
A. When you make some arrangement before the tasks begin.
B. When you finish your jobs step by step.
C. When you manage to solve your problem before the deadline.
D. When you keep the easier thing halfdone for a long time.
( ) 8. According to the passage,what does the author probably prefer to do?
A. To leave everything undone until the last moment.
B. To battle one rush hour after another.
C. To finish his task whenever possible.
D. To have an extra work more frequently.

Farmers may not be able to prevent natural disasters,but they can at least try their best to reduce losses.
For example,they can plant crops that are more likely to survive extreme weather. In northcentral Vietnam,people with small farms do not plant rice between September and December. Seasonal rains might destroy the rice. So instead,they plant lotus seeds on raised beds. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the lotus seeds bring a good price in local markets.
Farmers in the Philippines are showing new interest in crops like winged beans,string beans,arrowroot and cassava. The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center says traditional crops like these can survive the fierce storms that often strike the islands.
The United Nations says some African farmers grow bambara groundnuts during long dry periods. The seeds of this droughtresistant plant can be boiled for eating or for making flour.
In some parts of the world,farmers grow vetiver grass. Researchers in Thailand wrote about vetiver in 2007 in the journal Science Asia. They noted that the grass can absorb and control the spread of harmful waste waters,like those from pig farms.
Agricultural expert and author William Rivera says vetiver resists difficult conditions. It reduces damage from heavy rains. And vetiver planted on earthen dams may strengthen them against breaks and flooding.
William Rivera also speaks approvingly of alfalfa. Its deep roots can find and take up groundwater. Those roots also help hold the soil against winds. And alfalfa can be a valuable food source for animals.
The deep and extensive roots of sunflowers make them another good candidate for resisting extreme conditions. The tall plants have brightly colored heads that provide seeds and oil.
North Dakota grows more hectares of sunflowers than any other American state. But North Dakota is better known as a top wheat producing state.
Hans Kandel works at the North Dakota State University Extension Service in Fargo. He says farmers in some parts of North Dakota plant wheat that is ready to harvest in only about one hundred days. That way it can grow before the hot,dry months of July through September.
( ) 1. The underlined part "bring a good price in local markets" in the 2nd paragraph implies that lotus seeds .
A. can bring the local farmers some profit
B. will satisfy the needs of the local people
C. are what the local farmers eat every day
D. don't sell very well because of their high prices
( ) 2. Vetiver grass is planted because it can .
A. be a valuable food source for animals
B. survive the fierce storms in summer
C. provide seeds and oil
D. be useful in many aspects
( ) 3. From the last paragraph we can see that the farmers in North Dakota .
A. are not hardworking so they are suffering from poverty
B. are good at taking advantage of the weather conditions
C. don't have enough knowledge of weather and farming
D. plant more sunflowers than wheat
( ) 4. From this passage we may safely conclude that .
A. weather conditions are always decisive factors in agriculture
B. some crops can help farmers to fight against disasters
C. the species of the world are changing quickly
D. agriculture is developing fast in the world
