AWhen I was a little child, I always handed the pennies I picked up from the ground to myteachers or threw them away, because I heard from my mom several times the story that angelssometimes would leave pennies on the ground to see whether the person who picks them up isgreedy. I never doubted that story even as an adult. In fact I don’t often find a dime, or a quarte even pennies on the ground.A few days ago I went to the local post office to mail a letter to a friend. I was walking downthe street outside the post office when I did see not one, not two, but four separate dimes on theground shining in the sunlight. I bent down and picked them up and at the same time I thought ofthe homeless. I kept them in my hand and entered the post office. Inside a lady was digging throughher purse at the counter anxiously looking for change to mail a package. Believe it or not, she wasexactly forty cents short. How amazing it was! I placed my dimes on the counter.

A Purse in the SunlightBIn the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler. Instead it was a collection of independentstates, knows as “city states” because each one was run by a central city such as Florence. Some were small; some were large. Most states had their own governments, laws and money. During theMiddle Ages, five city states became very rich and powerful. For example, Venice became rich fromits trade with the Far East, the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe. Banks in Florence lent moneyto business and governments all over Europe.There was great competition between the city states —which led to regular wars —andbetween the families which ruled them. The city states also competed with each other to build thegrandest or tallest buildings.Let’s look in detail at one city —Florence. In 1400 Florence was one of the largest cities inItaly. It was the centre of a rich trade in wool and cloth. One-third of the workers in Florence workedin the wool trade.The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici who ruled the city between 1469 and1492.The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds(行业协会). Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild. If you were a member of a guildand over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city.The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous. The Medici collectedbooks and built a huge library to house them. They spent money on renovating old buildings to bebetter and also putting up new ones. They built a splendid palace and employed painters andsculptors to decorate it. Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence.6.What do we know about the city statesA.They ruled themselves.B.They were made up of five cities.C.They didn’t trade with each other.D.They disappeared during the Middle Ages.7.The relationship between the city states can be described as _____.A.strongB. inflexibleC. unfriendlyD. cooperative8.According to the text, the Medici family _______.A.created their own guildB.contributed a lot to FlorenceC.was the single ruler of FlorenceD.became rich through doing woodwork9.Why did some artists go to FlorenceA.Because there was great demand for art in Florence.B.Because there were many famous artists in Florence.C.Because Florence was well-known for its art trade.D.Because other cities had no interest in art.10.What did the underlined word “renovating” in the last paragraph meanA.removingB. buyingC. sellingD. repairingCMany cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now somestates and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste aswell. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting(堆制肥料).Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags,and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairyfood waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going intolandfills(垃圾填埋地), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost isadded to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states arepassing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones which is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager at the Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City, told TFK.Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going intolandfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people torecycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regulargarbage.Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often placeswhere citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have alsostarted composting programs.Those who are against food-recycling laws say that composting process is costly. In addition,it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they donaccess to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.11.What do we know about composting from the textA.Not all food waste can be reused.B.It is cheap to compost food waste.C.Not all soil can be composted.D.It is usually processed in empty landfills.12.What food waste can be compostedA.Meat.B.
