On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.

Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.

There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.

Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (楓樹(shù)) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.

The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.

The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’ (楊樹(shù)) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.

A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.

B. There are many windows in the wooden house.

Indoor Plants

As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

Plants love company. When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well. Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

1.In Paragraph 2，the author mainly tells us to___________.

A． but plants that help clean indoor air

B． create a new environment with plants

C． put plants on the sunny side of the room

D． make sure of suitable conditions for plants

2.What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A． It provides owners good company.

B． It helps the air around them slightly wet.

C． It makes it convenient to look after them.

D． It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

3.While watering the plants，what should we remember to do?

A． Use water that is a little warm.

B． Pour the water into the pot holder.

C． Give small amount of water at one time.

D． Consider further watering in dry weather.

4.What is the best time to feed the plants?

A． When the soil is dry.

B． When their growth is active.

C． When the temperature is high.

D． When they have just been planted.

Dear Mary,

I receive your E-mail just now. Don’t worry about me. I’m get on well with my research work in the lab. But to my greatly surprise you say you will give up learn English. The reason is that you have not done well in it recently but you have lost interest. I’m afraid I can’t agree you. I know it is difficulty to learn English, but English is widely used in the world today. It will be an important tool in our future work. Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our everyday life. If you study hardly, you will succeed. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way. I’ m looking forward to hearing a good news from you.

We all know the saying“beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and the fact that there are a whole lot of strange—looking people out there happily loved up would suggest that it’s true．But scientists have now performed the biggest test so far，analyzing the preferences of more than 35，000 people，and have shown that we really do all have a unique “type”．

In fact，the study showed that even identical twins，who share nearly l00 percent of their DNA, aren’t attracted to the same people，suggesting that it’s our experiences，more than our genes，that determine whether we find someone hot or not．

“We estimate that an individual’s aesthetic(審美的)preferences for faces agree about 50 percent，and disagree about 50 percent，with others，’’explained Laura Germine from Harvard University，and Jeremy Wilmer of Wellesley College，lead researchers of the project．

“This fits with the phenomenon that on one hand，fashion models can make a fortune with their good looks，while on the other hand，friends can endlessly debate about who is attractive and who is not，”they added．“Of course，there are some things that people seem to find pretty much universally pleasant to look at，eg，most people prefer faces that are symmetric(對(duì)稱(chēng)的)．”But after analyzing the facial preferences of more than 35，000 volunteers, the researchers found that，it was experiences that seemed to be what shape the “eye of the beholder”．And those experiences are highly specific to each individual．

So in other words，it’s not your family，where you grew up，or how much money your parents make that shape who you’re attracted to，it’s things like the magazines you read, the social activities you’ve take part in，and even your first boyfriend or girlfriend，that determine these preferences．

1.What does the underlined word “identical” in Para 2 mean?

A．unique B．same

C．distinguishing D．considerate

2.Why does the writer talk about the “fashion model”?

A．To tell us they own beautiful faces which help them earn money．

B．To emphasize they have symmetric faces which people widely enjoy．

C．To show people’s preference for faces partly agree and disagree．

D．To explain the role genes play in people’s preference．

3.Which of the following statements agrees with the theme of the passage?

A．Symmetric faces look beautiful in eastern culture but not in western culture．

B．The more beautiful a person looks，the more likely he is to get a success．

C．A person’s aesthetic preferences for beauty will remain the same in the future．

D．Some think the movie star Huang Xiaoming handsome while some don’t think so．

4.What is the title of the passage?

A．Gene preference or social preference?

B．Difficult to meet every taste．

C．Beauty is in the eye of beholder．

D．Love me，love my dog?

Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女議員) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.

Mark looked at the chart taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.

It was too much for Mark. “ The problems are too big. ” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said ,“ I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”

Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “ People should just take care of themselves.” He decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”

As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved , her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “ Thanks!” she said. “You have got great timing!”

“ Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he had a quick look at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “ Maybe that’s a good place to start.”
