Bats help people in many ways. For example, some bats eat the bugs that bite people and destroy plants. Bats can also help people by eating fruit. After eating the fruit, bats sometimes drop seeds（种子）.The seeds then grow into new plants.

Growing a Family Bnsiness
Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game,PhillipGargiulo,aged 11,will be up at 5 a. m. sweeping floors. It's hard work, but Phillip's job at Masker Orchards（果园）isn’t just a job. It's all for his family.
Masker is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area 9 with 200 acres（英亩）of land and 16,000 trees. The Masker family got the orchard started in 1914.' In 1969, Phillip's grandfather bought the land. His three kids and six grandkids have been running the family business ever since.
On a good weekend, there will be more than 800 customers（顾客）.One of Phillip's jobs is to count the apples they bought, give customers a to tai, and take their money. That's a lot of apples and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, the Gargiulo kids are paid $ 15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved $ 3,000. He's planning to use it to buy a car one day and to help pay for college.
Having a family business means much more than making money. It also means making sacrifices.
Growing up, it was good and bad," says Phillip's mom. She's been working at the
orchard since she was 4 years old. "From August to Halloween, I would be busy. In high school, you want to be with your friends out doing other things. That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard. ”
Phillip.too,sees both sides. "I'm learning how to run a business and I’m learning what hard work is really all about,”he says. But he also says it's true that some mornings, when his
alarm clock goes off in the early m orning,he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. "But I'm learning to do things that I will need fo r the rest of my life,” he says.“And I'm spending time with my family. I love it.99

It was last January,when I'd just finished a charity and was on the train back home,that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train,I felt amazingly good. The next day,I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea：Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbors,Idecided. And I thought of a number of names right away：the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play*.
While writing the notes,I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app,appreciating（欣赏）other people's lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different 9 paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July my "food" month» I wrote to Julie9 who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I f ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped
into the number VI for our sixth anniversary（周年纪念日）.We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love 9
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie
replied, “I don't think I’ve ever received such a touching
letter before. I'm going through a hard time right now, and
this helps.”
On December 31,1 wrote my last card to Jake, myhusband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us 9 so I could remember the feeling coming up inside me. Gratitude.
56.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 means .
A.writing thank-you notes
B. putting the phone away
C. taking the train back home
D. raising money for charity
57.How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?
A.Shy and surprised.
B. Pleased and relaxed.
C. Nervous and excited.
D. Touched and encouraged.
58.What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A.Many thanks from her neighbors.
B.More time to appreciate her own time.
C.More help from people around her.
D.Happy moments to be with her friends.
