Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruit vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food, right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big boxes-there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of thebuilding. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruit and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam. “I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”22.

But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal’s body are different from yours? An animal’s muscles are made to do the things that are the most important for its life. Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals.Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lio n’s do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they usetheir muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake’s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.The elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientist believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.27.

According to the passage, what makes the muscles in your body different from an animal’s?A. The exerciseB. Your parentsC. The environmentD. Your needs.30.
