Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.
Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetable are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.
Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.
Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.
One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.

Passage Two
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage
In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something far too shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.
Then came the First Word War and the male secretaries were replaced by women .A man’s secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to ;and ,of course ,typing and filing and taking shorthand.
Now all this may be changing again .The microchip(芯片)and high technology is sweeping the British office ,taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书)work that secretaries did .
“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”
That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country .What he has predicted is already under way in the U.S.
Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的),will there be a male takeover ?Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs .There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they –not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣)for the boss’s wife ,but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computer as men . 6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they____. A. were less efficient and less trained than men
