閱讀下列短文，根據短文內容，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳選項。
Have you ever walked down a city street and suddenly seen a bright garden full of vegetables and flowers?
It may be a community garden. The community gardens are planted by the people in the community. They are not just pretty places. They improve the neighbourhoods.
People first started planting these gardens during the 1970s. At that time, the price of vegetables and fruits was rising. In many city neighbourhoods, crime(犯罪) was increasing. There were also many other problems. People decided to get together to plant gardens to fight against these problems. The gardeners thought they might make the area more beautiful and improve people’s life.
These gardeners were right! Community gardens have many benefits. They improve their neighbourhoods. They also make people feel they belong to the community. When people work together in a garden, they feel they are connected with each other. People work on a small area within the garden. They grow vegetables or fruits. Each person decides what he or she is going to grow. However, they also work together to help each other. Some members have gardening experience. They can help those who are just learning how to grow vegetables and fruits.
Sometimes, garden members pay for supplies. The supplies usually include small plants and tools. Many community gardens have sponsors(贊助者). They pay for the supplies for the gardens. It helps to keep the gardens going every year. Sponsors may be parks, schools and local companies. Some groups want to be a part of the community. They help clean up and beautify a neighbourhood. They also pay for the supplies.
Community gardens give people a chance to work together. They can make the community stable(安定的). There are many programs of community gardens. Some gardens provide programs for children and elder people. They may provide classes. They may give the vegetables and fruits to poor people. Community gardens also improve air.
Today there are about 10,000 community gardens in cities in the US. They have become popular because of their benefits. People enjoy having vegetables and flowers in their neighbourhoods.

Pictures That Don’t Last
“YEARS ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge, taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like ‘got it – done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent (壯觀的) scene sprawling (展開) in front of them,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science．
Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (著迷的) people are with taking pictures these days – before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on．You know people just like that, don’t you?
They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian．
In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others．The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them．
“When people rely on technology to remember for them – counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative effect on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained．
But there is also an exception: if students zoomed (縮放) in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (鏡頭) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame．
So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory．But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it．
“In order to remember, we have to access（接近）and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them,” Henkel told The Telegraph．However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computers．
1.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ___．
A．complain about some tourists’ bad habits
B．give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour
C．describe the great view of the Grand Canyon
D．point out people’s obsession with taking pictures
2.Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TRUE?
A．Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories．
B．Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better．
C．Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memories．
D．People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them．
3.The underlined word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means ______．
A．displaying B．collecting
C．introducing D．remembering
4.What is the article mainly about?
A．Some skills to learn for taking pictures．
B．People’s obsession with taking pictures and its influence．
C．How pictures remind us of our past．
D．How to deal with pictures after taking trips．

A Different Kind of Spring Break
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach. In Panama City Beach, Florida more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break place in the United States.
A weeklong party is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to help solve problems such as homelessness or environmental damage makes spring break a special learning experience that university students can feel good about.
During one spring break week, students from James Madison University in Virginia took part in 15 “spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane (颶風) Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They did some work to help protect the native Florida plants.
Students who take part in spring break projects find them very rewarding (值得的). While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people right now without degrees. On the other hand, the buildings or rooms they live or stay are far from attractive. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church. But they only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their friends spend traveling to more traditional spring break hot spots.
Spring break projects appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States. Some students take the opportunity to meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that give them rich rewards along with a break from school work.
1.What‟s the number one spring break place in the United States?
2.What is the way to make spring break matter for some students?
3. How did the students help in Bogalusa, Louisiana?
4.Where do the student volunteers often sleep?
5.What makes the spring break projects more rewarding?
