Which two lines best reflect how the setting influences Inge’s daily life?
The wall was just a few feet from the home Inge shared with her parents. Aside from her school and other crumbling buildings in their neighborhood, their world was a few rooms in a dull, gray concrete flat with no yard and no trees. The wall was part of the view from the only windows they had, and Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side—laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy traffic.

One day, as she explored the wall imagining what the sounds meant, she came upon a hole. Her heart thumped wildly as she leaned toward it. Through the hole, Inge caught a glimpse of a whole new world. It was a world of color—reds, blues, and yellows in the dresses of women strolling down the street, the colors of the shirts and ties the men wore, the colors of the ribbons in the little girls' braids. It was a world of people who did not begin and end each day in shades of gray. It was alive and brimming with activity, with living. Inge leaned, transfixed by the view, for hours until she began to feel the strain in her back and leg muscles. Then, pulling herself away, she headed home, knowing she would return again and again.

One fall day in 1990, as Inge headed for her favorite spot in the wall, she noticed that the towers from which the guards viewed her neighborhood were empty. And she noticed something else: she was not alone. Others, mostly young men with a mix of other people, some of whom she recognized were at already at the wall or moving toward it.

Two lines/phrases which strongly show this are:

“The people who did not begin and end each day in shades of gray”

and “world of colour-reds, blues, and strolling down the street”

This line “the people who did not begin and end each day in shades of grey. it was alive and brimming with activity” shows she thinks that the life of these people was not just grey like her own life, but it was full of colours. it was also very alive and full of activity.

The phrase “world of colour-reds, blues, and strolling down the street” shows her enviously thinking of men in red and blue shirts and ties walking on the road.

Some other phrases showing that Inge was envious of the outside world are, “Inge was drawn to the sounds” and “glimpse of a whole new world”.

Thus, this could be the answer.

The Persistent Gardener
It was Jilly's last day in the green house. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over.

Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to.

The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures.

Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things.

"We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside."

It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly.

"Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T.

"I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing.

"Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it.

"That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget."

"Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered.

"Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said.

Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge.

"I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking."

"You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you."

"And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day.

"My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants."

Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint.

When most people hear the term "endangered species," they think of manatees, grizzly bears, whales, and other popular species that are at risk of dying out. If these animals don’t live in your area, you might think there is nothing you can do to help. However, more than 1,300 species of plants, birds, fish, invertebrates, and mammals are listed as endangered or threatened. Some might even live in or migrate through your area. Private citizens can play a critical role in protecting our country’s wildlife and plants. Things we do in our daily lives can help improve our lands so that the land is better suited to wildlife. All endangered and threatened species need your help, from the red-cockaded woodpecker to the Karner blue butterfly.

Hypermiling, a term coined by efficiency expert Wayne Gerdes, means improving a car’s gas mileage using simple methods. A person who practices hypermiling on a regular basis can achieve a 50 percent or better improvement in a vehicle’s official fuel economy estimate.

Improving fuel economy through hypermiling can work for any vehicle. The driver of a 2005 Honda Accord, for example, went from 24 mpg to 35 mpg after adopting hypermiling techniques for one year. Gerdes himself set a world record in 2009 after driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 1,445 miles on a single tank of gas. He was able to achieve a fuel economy of 81 mpg, which is more than double the EPA estimate for fuel economy in a Fusion.

Most hypermiling techniques are easy to implement. Driving at lower speeds leads to less fuel consumption. Be sure to drive the posted speed limit—or even slower—to save money. Slowing down also benefits drivers by preventing excessive braking, which reduces gas mileage by as much as 33 percent. Idling the engine for longer than a few minutes can also be costly at the gas pump. Simply by making a few common sense changes, hypermilers can save money and protect the environment.
