The Value of Urban Community Gardens
A) With the acceleration of urbanization, modern cities are filled with high-rise buildings and concrete roads. Urban residents are increasingly far away from nature, and the living environment is becoming more and more closed. In order to improve urban ecological environment and enrich residents' spare life, more and more cities begin to build community gardens.
B) Community gardens refer to public green spaces in residential areas, which are jointly managed and planted by residents. The government provides land and basic facilities, while residents participate in daily planting, watering and maintenance. Different from public parks, community gardens allow residents to plant vegetables, fruits and flowers by themselves.
C) Community gardens have significant ecological value. A large number of green plants can absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen and reduce urban heat island effect. They also purify air and reduce urban dust, effectively improving the micro ecological environment of residential areas.
D) In terms of social value, community gardens shorten the distance between neighbors. Modern urban residents usually live in closed families and lack communication with neighbors. Working together in the garden provides a good opportunity for residents to communicate and interact.
E) For elderly residents, community gardens are a good place for leisure and exercise. Many elderly people have farming experience and love planting. Taking care of plants every day can enrich their retirement life and relieve loneliness.
F) For teenagers, community gardens are natural practical classrooms. They can learn plant growth knowledge, understand the laws of nature and develop the awareness of cherishing food through personal planting experience.
G) Community gardens also have certain economic value. Residents can harvest green and pollution-free vegetables and fruits, reducing family daily food expenditure. The planted flowers and plants can also beautify the community environment and enhance the overall image of the community.
H) Despite many advantages, community gardens also face some problems. Some residents lack planting experience, leading to low plant survival rate. In addition, unreasonable planting may cause environmental problems such as residual weeds and accumulated water.
I) To solve these problems, many communities organize regular planting training lectures. Professional agricultural teachers teach residents scientific planting skills, pest prevention and garden maintenance methods, which greatly improves the planting efficiency.
J) In the future, urban community gardens will be further promoted and optimized. They will become an important part of urban ecological construction and community cultural construction, bringing more benefits to urban residents.

Section C Careful Reading
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Nowadays, more and more college students choose to take part-time jobs during their spare time. This phenomenon has aroused widespread discussion. Some people hold the view that part-time jobs can help students gain work experience and relieve family economic pressure. Others worry that part-time jobs will occupy too much study time and affect academic performance.
Taking appropriate part-time jobs brings many benefits to college students. Firstly, it enables students to step out of the campus and contact the real society, helping them understand social operation rules and accumulate social experience. Secondly, part-time work can exercise students' communication, coordination and problem-solving abilities, which are difficult to learn in classroom teaching. Thirdly, independent part-time income can cultivate students' financial awareness and self-reliance spirit.
However, improper part-time choices will cause negative impacts. Many students blindly pursue high-paying part-time jobs without considering whether they are related to their major or personal development. Some even skip classes to work, resulting in declining grades and incomplete professional knowledge system. In addition, some students are lack of social experience and easy to be cheated in part-time work, causing economic losses and psychological pressure.
Therefore, college students should treat part-time jobs rationally. They should prioritize their academic study and arrange part-time work in their spare time. It is better to choose part-time jobs related to their major, which can combine theoretical knowledge with practical application and lay a solid foundation for future employment. Meanwhile, students should improve their self-protection awareness to avoid being deceived.

Passage Two
Green consumption has become a new consumption trend among young people in recent years. Different from traditional consumption which only focuses on product quality and price, green consumption pays more attention to environmental protection, energy conservation and sustainable development. It advocates low-carbon, environmentally friendly and healthy consumption ways.
The rise of green consumption is closely related to the improvement of public environmental awareness. With the continuous deterioration of the global ecological environment, more people realize the importance of environmental protection. Young people, in particular, are more willing to accept new consumption concepts and take the initiative to practice green consumption behaviors, such as choosing energy-saving electrical appliances, using reusable products, and reducing the use of disposable plastic products.

To promote the popularization of green consumption, the government should improve relevant policies and market supervision mechanisms to standardize the green product market. Enterprises should reduce production costs and provide affordable green products. Meanwhile, the public should further establish green consumption concepts and form long-term green living habits.
