4、oy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.

5、ence, I had to smile. She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later. It makes me won

6、der how many of us have Big Boy dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the Big Boy variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process.

13、setse fly (采采蝇) is an extremely unpleasant experience. It is not like a mosquito, which can put its thin mouthpart directly into your blood, often without you noticing. In contrast, the tsetse flys mouth has tiny saws on it that saw into your skin on its way to suck out your blood. To make matters w

14、orse, several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One of the most dangerous is a parasite that causes sleeping sickness, or human African trypanosomiasisto give it its official name. Without treatment, an infection is usually fatal. Like so many tropical diseases, sleeping sickness has ofte

15、n been neglected by medical researchers. However, researchers have long endeavored to understand how it avoids our bodies defence mechanisms. Some of their insights could now help us eliminate sleeping sickness altogether. There are two closely-related single-celled parasites that cause this deathly

16、 sleep: Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense. The latter is far more common: it is responsible for up to 95% of cases, mostly in western Africa. It takes several years to kill a person, while T. brucei rhodesiense can cause death within months. There are still other forms that infect l

17、ivestock. After the initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever, headaches and aching muscles. As the illness goes on, those infected become increasingly tired, which is where it gets its name. Personality changes, severe confusion and poor coordination can also happen. While m

18、edication does help, some treatments are toxic and can themselves be deadly, especially if they are given after the disease has reached the brain. It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was. In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected

19、each year. By the 1960s the disease was considered under control and had reached very low numbers, making its spread more difficult. But in the 1970s there was another major epidemic, which took 20 years to control. Since then, better screening programmes and earlier interventions have reduced the n

20、umber of cases dramatically. In 2009 there were fewer than 10,000 cases for the first time since records began, and in 2015 this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation. The WHO hopes the disease will be completely eliminated by 2020. Wh

21、ile this decline looks positive, there may be many more cases that go unreported in rural Africa. To eliminate the disease completely, infections have to be closely monitored. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more complicated than previously believed. Sle

22、eping sickness has always been considered and diagnosed as a blood disease, because T. brucei parasites can readily be detected in the blood of its victims.（1）A tsetse fly is different from a mosquito in that_. A.it can put its thin mouthpart directly into your bloodB.all species of tsetse fly can t

23、ransmit diseasesC.it can spread a parasite that causes sleeping sicknessD.its mouth has larger saws than those on a mosquito（2）What can be learned about sleeping sickness according to the text ? A.It is formally calledhuman American trypanosomiasis.B.If left untreated, it can possibly be deadly.C.It

24、 remains as deadly as it used to be.D.It usually draws attention from medical researchers.（3）What is implied in the last three paragraphs ? A.Sleeping sickness will be completely eliminated by 2020.B.The parasite causing sleeping sickness is easy to detect now.C.T. brucei parasites can only be detec

25、ted in the blood of its victims.D.Data about sleeping sicknesscases may not be so accurate.（4）What would be the best title of this passage ?
