The Master Gardener Foundation
Aim
The Master Gardener Foundation provides free information to the public on environmentally safe gardening practices and water conservation. The information is research-based and encourages limited use of farm chemicals and fertilizers.
Donation Activities
The master gardeners here did much donation work. They donated over 35,000 volunteer hours, serving 40,000 adults and more than 5,200 children. They did this through about 35 plant clinics, 6 demonstration gardens, 4 youth gardens, as well as a classroom program and dozens of workshops. The Master Gardener Foundation provides roughly two-thirds of the financial support for all these valuable activities.
Washington State University currently provides the salary and benefits of the Master Gardener Program. The foundation funds office space and supplies, as well as a part-time program assistant.
The Master Gardener Program
Safe and green gardening and water use practices are vital to preserving our environment. The Master Gardener Program seeks to provide this kind of education and information to the citizens for free. It is a highly successful example of cooperation between a foundation and volunteers.
Waiting for Your Donations
The Master Gardener Foundation is a non-profit organization, and all donations are allowed by law and support the Master Gardener Program and activities.

As I drove along the road, small car flew across the center divider from the opposite direction and crashed into my car head-on. I fell unconscious and was awakened by the ringing of my mobile phone.
I was brought to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital bleeding on from my nose, mouth and legs. But the hospital staff was too busy to attend to me, so I called a friend to tell him about the accident. Some friends arrived very soon and sent me to a private hospital nearby. I saw my injured feet hanging from my body, blue and lifeless, and I begged the doctors to save them at all cost.

You should try your best to create your own family library so that you and your family are always learning. "It is a great mistake to think that education is finished when young people leave school. Education is never finished even if you grow older," said Mrs Child in The Mother's Book. "Collecting a library of books in your home is really helpful to your family. ”
"What is really interesting about having so many books in your home is that a book you purchase has a chapter about the deeper knowledge of your favorite subject at school," said a university graduate. Researchers in a study tries to identify what parents do has an influence on how well their children do on standardized tests. One positive aspect they find is the availability of a large number of books at home. This has a stronger connection, especially when you read to your children every day. The more books your older kids have access to at home, the more likely they are just to be reading for fun, rather than having to wait for weekly trips to the library.
John Henry, one educated parent, said, "I have been homeschooling my children using the philosophy of A Thomas Jeffer son Education. This philosophy of learning is based on the reading of classic books. ” Clinton Fadiman said, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than before. " Classic books also make you smarter and wiser! The wisdom comes in the examples in the lives of the characters.
"It is within your power to guide your youth in their reading and to cultivate in their hearts a desire for good books. It is the most unfortunate if a person is not possessed with the desire for good reading. The reading habit, like charity, should begin at home," said Mrs Child.
8. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?A.Kids don't need to go to the library any longer. |
B.Parents should set a good example at home. |
C.It's necessary to create a family library. |
D.It's important to let kids pass standardized tests. |
A.By quoting others ’words. | B.By questioning. |
C.By imagination. | D.By analyzing research data. |
A.East or west, home is best. |
B.One is never too old to learn. |
C.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. |
D.Charity is the soul, rather than the virtues of hand. |
A.Where to Store Your Favorite Books at Home? |
B.When to Read the Classic Books to Your Children? |
C.Which Is Better, a Home Library or a Public Library? |
D.Why Not Have Your Own Library of Books at Home? |
Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence (Al) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.
Analyzing a patient's heart function on a cardiac MRI (心脏磁共振成像)scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London (UCL) showed an Al program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using Al to read them could save 54 clinician-days (临床天数)at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.
It is hoped that Al where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot dis- eases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.
Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis."
She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be 'super-human'—transforming clinical and research measurement precision."
Professor Alastair Denniston said, "Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis. ”
12. Which of the following can best describe this Al program?A.Time-consuming. | B.Environmentally friendly. |
C.Extremely unpractical. | D.Labor-saving. |
A.To treat eye disease faster and earlier. |
B.To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately. |
C.To combine manual with automated analysis. |
D.To confirm heart structure and function. |
A.It would be super-human soon. |
B.It couldn't completely replace expert doctors. |
C.It would correct professionals' measurement errors. |
D.It couldn't detect cancer as accurately as health professionals. |
A.Al has many shortcomings in practice. |
B.Al totally shows its superiority to human analysis. |
C.Al can reduce medical errors arising from human factors. |
D.Al can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time. |
How to Develop Appropriate Self-Confidence
Under most circumstances having self-confidence is a good thing.
But can you have too much self-confidence?
Keep learning new things. Even if you are highly confident about your skills in an area, keep looking for new challenges. It is easy to become overconfident if you think you know everything there is to know about a subject. Finding new challenges to overcome does sharpen your skills.
Listen to what others have to say. Overconfidence can sometimes cause people to become rigid and even arbitrary. Instead of assuming that your way is the right or only way, try to keep an open mind.
A.Focus on the effort, not the outcome. |
B.Is overconfidence definitely a good thing? |
C.You might not always agree with other people. |
D.Having too much self-confidence is beneficial to us. |
E.Are you teaching in a different way and extremely excellent? |
F.Confident people tend to be more successful in a wide variety of fields. |
G.Finding new challenges also reminds you that there're fresh ways of thinking about things. |

Three years ago. I was arranged to work for a few weeks as a dentist in a new dental clinic at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was rush driving to a new and unfamiliar clinic and getting used to the different rules and clinical environment.
In my worry and anxiety, and feeling a little unfamiliar in the new setting, I removed my three things: my wedding ring, a ring that belonged to my mother and one that was an anniversary gift from my husband. I wrapped them in a tissue(纸巾) and placed them beside my computer.
During my lunch break, I noticed the wrinkled tissue and thought that it didn’t look very neat and dropped it into the rubbish bin. I went about my duties and my day went on well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive and efficient. Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that I was missing my rings. I felt the heart in my body rose, my cheeks burning red. I went inside and tried to calm down. I felt sick to my stomach and I had that sinking feeling in my heart. I spent an hour or so making calls trying to follow the track of my rings. The first people I called was my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few contact numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic and she informed me that the bins had already been collected.
Heartbroken, I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my wedding ring and one of my most treasured rings my mother’s wedding ring. Had it not been for my carelessness, all this would not have happened. With great sorrow and regret, I just sat there rooted in my chair.
Paragraph 1:
After two hours or so, I received a most amazing phone call. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I decided to thank the wonderful person face to face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
