He didnt look like any doctor Id ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things tough for the trees to that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.24.

Heart pounding, Leah slid two tubes of lipstick into her purse. She looked bored as she followed her friends Suki and Jill out of the store, but inside she felt panicked.“I cant believe you made me do that,” Leah cried. “Relax,” said Jill. “Everybody does it sometimes. And we didnt make you do it.” She said nothing, but Leah knew she wouldnt have done that on her own. She was just experiencing huge peer pressure.Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually e from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something youre unfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.The pressure to conform can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless, or something that has more serious consequences. Giving in to the pressure to dress a certain way is one thing, and going along with the crowd to drink or smoke is another.The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone elses lead first. Then Others may go along too, so it can be easy to think, “It must be OK. Everyone else is doing its They must know what theyre doing.” Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd, perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature, but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist by standing their ground. People who are unsure of themselves, new to the group, or inexperienced with peer pressure may be more likely to give in.28. Who took the lipstick out of the store?A. Jill.B. Suki.C. Leah.D. The author.29. What does the underlined word “conform” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Stop.B. Obey.C. Last.D. e.30. Who will be easily influenced by peer pressure according to the text?A. Tom who usually goes to a party with friends.B. Lucy who likes opposing plans of other classmates.C. Peter who is very good at talking with their parents.D. Jack who often asks for friends advice and follow it.31. What kind of the character helps you most in resisting peer pressure?A. Helpful.B. Adventurous.C. Independent.D. Easy-going.DDo you want to know the meaning of your dogs bark? There is a good chance. A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a device (设备) that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the device under the name of Bowlingual in US pet stores and gift shops next year.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog devices have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs es to America next year. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product,” the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2017 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3-inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (操作台) that is connected to a database. The console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire, and shows mon phrases, such as “Youre ticking me off,” that fit the dogs emotional state. Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the device in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar device for cats. “They are too unpredictable,” the marketing manager said.32. Why does Takara feel confident about the sale of Bowlingual in America?A. The price of Bowlingual is very low.B. Americans like researching new inventions.C. There are lots of dogs in America that need to be cared for.D. Americans are willing to spend money on their dogs.33. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Cats.B. Plans.C. Markets.D. Products.34. What can we learn from the text?A. Bowlingual has sold well in America.B. Bowlingual has many phrases about emotion in its console.C. The dog devices sold in Japan can understand English.D. Takara has spent millions of dollars promoting the device.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Japanese scientists will translate dogs wordsB. Takara is devoted to developing BowlingualC. Bowlingual helps you know your dogs betterD. A kind of device has been sold out in Japan第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.
