• 2．    One summer day，as I was heading to the teaching building，I heard someone call my name.I turned around and saw Philip，a counselor at our college，standing with another young man.Philip introduced me to him，Stephen，and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.
      Stephen looked at me.With a somewhat painful expression，he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass.I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn.As we talked，I saw Stephen's eyes getting big with fear.
      I told him to do all of his assignments，and to hand them in on time.Rather than being overwhelmed（壓倒） by all of the work，I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.
       As the fall semester went on，I learned more of Stephen's story.It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people.Family members，including his mother，kept reminding him that he was a failure.But he kept at it and didn't take them to heart.He told me that before coming to our college，no one believed he could manage it.
      Stephen didn't become an A student.However，he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day，turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts.By passing course after course，he began to gain a measure of self-confidence.
      On his graduation day，he walked up to me，and said，"Thank you."

• 3．Not long ago，people could only buy organic food in small shops.Today it is common in most major supermarkets.The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals.Since the 1990s，organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year.This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
     Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture.It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia.However，most of the land is not very fertile，and it only produces a modest amount of food.Argentina is a distant second，followed by Brazil，the United States and China.In Africa，only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming.That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals.In fact，many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them.Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals.Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.
     India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming.Like many other countries，India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world.This，of course，leads to growth in profits.Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005.Like India，many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales.This has led to criticism.Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money.They think the goal is to help the environment.Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable.They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.
  
  （1）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．Countries all want to make money from organic farming.
  B．Organic food has become much more common.
  C．People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.
  D．Farming organically is growing around the world.
  （2）Why do people want to increase organic farming？

  
  A．Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.
  B．More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.
  C．Profits from organic farming help make approval programs.
  D．There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.
  （3）From the passage，it can be said that

  .
  A．China and India have the same amount of organic farmland
  B．India uses the least land to farm organically
  C．the US is the fourth largest organic farming country
  D．Brazil uses less land to farm organically than China
  （4）It can be inferred from the passage that
