The Urban Gardener
Cities are home to skyscrapers and apartment buildings, and it's rare to find wide, open spaces
within them. With limited space for parks and gardens, architects and city planners often find it
challenging to incorporate greenery into neighbourhoods.

One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls or rooftops. It's a popular idea,
and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been spouting up in cities around the world. There are
many benefits to having green spaces to the urban landscape. Adding gardens to rooftops or walls can
create a pleasant environment - what was once a grey cement wall can become a colourful, blooming
garden. The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is a famous example - one of its walls is covered
with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species.
In other cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up construction sites and
empty buildings and to prominently decorate the lobbies of office buildings. Using plants to cover
walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer. Buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat
and hold it, causing a building or neighbourhood to stay warmer longer. Plants, on the other hand,
provide an enormous amount of shade. There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower
a building's energy costs. Many cities offer tax discounts to businesses with these features. In Ne City,
public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs.
In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because of their
educational value - it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them. “For
the children, it's exciting when you grow something edible," said Lauren Fontana, principal of a New
York public school.
These green spaces are also used to grow food. In recent years, rooftop gardens have slowly been
included in the "local food movement". This is based on the concept that locally grown food reduces
pollution since it does not have to be transported far. Vegetables are being grown in rooftop gardens by
schools, churches, neighbourhoods and even restaurants. Chef Rick Bayless serves “Rooftop S his
restaurant in Chicago, USA, using only ingredients grown in his rooftop garden. Rooftop gardens and
green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain. However, hard work always brings
rewards, and with green spaces, the rewards are plentiful.
Question 44. What is this passage mainly about?
A. gardens in Madrid, New York, and Chicago B. people growing plants on roofs and walls C.
private gardens in the city's unused spaces D. how to grow your own food in the city
Question 45. According to the passage, people ________ as cities have little space for gardens.
A. grow plants in their apartments B. go to the countryside at the weekends C. paint

A. It is the most expensive green wall in the world.
B. It is located on the side of a government building.
C. It is a famous example of a green wall.
D. It was made to provide jobs for homeless people.
Question 47. Which is NOT mentioned as a benefit of a rooftop garden?
A. It becomes a park that the community can use.
B. Having one might mean paying less taxes.
C. Children can use it to learn about the environment.
D. Growing plants on a roof keeps buildings cooler.
Question 48. Because food can now be grown in cities, ________ .
