A
You don't know about me if you haven't read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer．Mr． Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true． In that book robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the woods．But Tom Sawyer and I found it, and after that we were rich．We got six thousand dollars each-all gold．
In those days I never had a home or went to school like Tom and all the other boys in St Peters-burg． Pop was always drunk, and he moved around a lot, so he wasn't a very good father． But it didn't matter to me． I slept in the streets or in the woods, and I could do what I wanted, when I wanted． It was a fine life．
When we got all the money, Tom and I were famous for a while．Judge Thatcher, who was an important man in our town, kept my money in the bank for me． And the Widow Douglas took me to live in her house and said I could be her son． She was very nice and kind, but it was a hard life because I had to wear new clothes and be good all the time．
In the and I put on my old clothes and ran away． But Tom came after me and said that I had to go back, and that I could be in his gang of robbers． So, I went back, and the widow cried and I had to put on those new clothes again． I didn' t like it at all． Her sister,  Miss Watson, lived there too． She was always saying,  ' Don' t put your feet there,  Huckleberry',  and  ' Don' t do that, Huckleberry．' It was terrible．

 A．You can know "me" though you haven't read the book．
 B．It was very easy for 'me to get the money．

     A．"I" lived a happy life at the end．  B．"I" couldn' t live a life that "I" wanted
 C．"I" was not concerned by others．     D．"I" couldn't live a stable life．

 A．"I" felt at home living with Douglas．   B．"I" could bear the limitations．
 C．Money brought me fame and happiness．  D．"I" was longing for nature and freedom
B
When I first started growing my own fruit and vegetables in containers, I found information a-bout how, when and what to feed plants in containers surprisingly hard to come by．Perhaps this isn' t surprising．Crop nutrition is never going to be a sexy subject．At its best it' s a complicated and slightly smelly one．Still, if you want your plants to grow well in containers, you need to put a bit of thought into feeding them．You can devote a lifetime to learning about crop nutrition．But I' ve found a little knowledge can go a long way．
Plants need a mix of nutrients, just as humans need to consume a mix of protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins．They particularly need nitrogen （N） for leaf growth, phosphorus （P）for root growth, and potassium （K） for fruit growth．All plants need all three, but leafy crops particularly need nitrogen, and fruit crops won' t develop well without enough potassium．They also need a wide range of other nutrients, often in tiny quantities．I think of these as the equivalent of the vitamins and minerals we need to keep us healthy．Finally, plants need bacteria in the soil to break it down and release food to their roots, just as humans need bacteria to digest food in our stomach．
Most growing mixes you can buy in garden centers only contain enough nutrients for six weeks' growth．So for best results, you need the right fertilizer （rich in either nitrogen or potassium） and you need to make sure the plant has enough vitamins and minerals and that there is plenty of soil life in your pots．
24．What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
 A．to grow fruit and vegetables in containers
 B．to find information about growing fruit and vegetables
 C．to feed fruit and vegetables in containers
 D．to get information about feeding plants in containers

 A．Nitrogen． B．Phosphorus．      C．Potassium．      D．Vitamin

26．According to the writer, which will be needed if you want to get the best results?
     a．the right fertilizer      b．enough vitamins and minerals
     c．plenty of soil life      d．protein, fat and carbohydrate
 A．abc    B．bed．        C．aed．   D．abd．
27．What' s the main purpose of the passage?
 A．To tell people most compost in garden centers contains few nutrients．
 B．To tell people to dedicate a lifetime to learning about crop nutrition．
    C．To tell people all plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium．
D．To tell people some information about feeding plants in containers．
