7 . Who doesn’t like to work with someone who makes them laugh? If you’re going to spend eight hours or more per day at work, you don't want it to feel like a prison.

8 . Look into the future of what we eat, and you'll start wondering what could happen to our meals. As the world's population surpasses nine billion, our food needs will grow by 50 percent. How do we meet them without clearing more forests or expanding industrial agriculture, one of the most significant contributors to climate change? How do we keep our soil healthy, so that crops can grow well?

These questions are challenging. "But one thing is clear," says food journalist Lin Yee Yuan. "To feed nine billion people," she warns, "we're going to need all hands to the pump."

Many of those hands likely will be trying to find new ways to produce protein as the environmental stress of animal production becomes increasingly great. Animal production represents about one-seventh of all human-made greenhouse gas emissions. Beef produced in concentrated feeding operations typically requires nearly eight times the water and 160 times the land per calorie as vegetables and grain. No wonder United Nations officials have been urging everyone to eat less beef—and new food companies are taking it seriously.

Among them is the producer of the Beyond Burger, a patty with beefy coloring and protein from plants that is already available throughout the United States in about 10,000 grocery stores and many restaurants.

Other solutions take inspiration from nature. By the early 2000s, staff at the Land Institute were selectively breeding a grain to create a variety with better production, seed size, and disease resistance.

Today the result, called Kernza, is growing on 500 acres in the United States. A variety of food producers are readying it for market—including Bien Cuit, a high-end bakery in New York, which has made bread with it, and Hopworks Urban Brewery in Oregon, which sells a Kernza beer. "Whatever our meals may be like in 50 years, climate change will require us to make better use of what we already have," says global food expert Raj Patel. "The 21st century is teaching us that things once thought to be weeds and pests could turn out to be food."

1. What do the questions in the first paragraph focus on?

A．Climate change.

B．Global feeding.

C．Future diet.

D．Increasing population.

2. Why does the author mention the Beyond Burger?

A．To stress the benefits of meat-free food.	B．To introduce food companies' dilemma.
C．To explain the success of plant-based burgers.	D．To show an environment-friendly meat alternative.

3. How is the grain Kernza?

A．It is losing its market.	B．It has obvious drawbacks.
C．It is the solution to saving the world.	D．It has found its way into food products.

4. What do Raj Patel's words suggest?

A．We need to widen our food sources.	B．We will run out of ideas in 50 years.
C．Everything will be tough in the 2lst century.	D．Everyone should make an effort to save food.

9 . Emily Pilloton grew up in California, building treehouses in the woods with her sisters. At 16, on a service trip to Belize in Central America, she cut through weeds with a machete and poured concrete to construct a house. "I realized I could do something creative and technical while contributing to the world," she says.

After earning an MFA in architecture and design, she spent three years at various firms before giving up office life to become a high school shop teacher. An upsetting pattern appeared: "More often than not, the boys would talk louder and take up more space," says Pilloton. "I'd see the girls roll their eyes or look at each other, especially when something was being done incorrectly. Some tried to force their way in, but it's exhausting to always fight for airtime. Even in my classroom, gendered ideas about the labor girls could or couldn't do still existed and I got sick of it."

In 2010, Pilloton started guiding girls, only groups. "I pulled them aside during the class so we could focus on one thing: creating awesome architecture," she says. Three years later, she started Girls Garage. The nonprofit's mission: to teach 9-to-17-year-olds how to use carpentry tools, weld steel, draft blueprints and reenter the outside world with more confidence. After-school and weekend programs followed, and in 2016, Girls Garage moved into a 3,600-square-foot work space in Berkeley. The organization's motto "FEAR LESS. BUILD MORE." is printed on a blue wall. There, young girls build community-improving projects like a picnic table for a women's shelter and sandboxes for preschools.

But for these girls, shoptalk isn't all carpentry and welding tips. Within the garage walls and among an all-female instructional staff, students share whatever's on their mind. Pilloton's students aren't shy about their issues and ambitions, because the space is theirs alone. "It was designed by and for girls," she says. "Here, they're never talked down to and they always get to be their biggest selves."

1. How did Pilloton feel about her trip to Belize?

A．Inspiring.

B．Relaxing.

C．Tiring.

D．Annoying.

2. What did Pilloton find as a high school shop teacher?

A．Female students found it hard to get things right.

B．Male students usually put themselves in a superior position.

C．Male students fought against each other to get more space.

D．Female students got exhausted more easily than male students.

3. What can be learned about the organization started by Pilloton?

A．It focuses on individual guidance.	B．It is a highly profitable institution.
C．It builds girls' skills and inner strength.	D．It mainly reaches out to women in need.

4. What does Pilloton think of the shoptalk?

A．It is way too academic.	B．It is private and secret.
C．It is always professional.	D．It is free and full of respect.
