impressed. she was a garden-beginner. once they were planted, she tended to them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. but, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.frustrated, martie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. while paying, martie told the farmer her troubles. the farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“i think they were called big boy,” martie remembered.“well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “big boy and better boy 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. ”with that new knowledge, martie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.thinking about my sisters gardening experience, 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 wonder 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. instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. frustrated, we see other peoples dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours havent yet been achieved.21. why did marties tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?a. because they were destroyed by her neighbors. b. because she grew the wrong kind tomatoes.c. because she didnt manage the garden well.d. because they required more time to produce.22. what does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?a. goals. b. experiences. c. time. d. imagination.23. what does the text intend to show us?a. its better late than never. b. a bad beginning makes a bad ending.c. nothing is impossible for a willing heart. d. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.bopening in 1934, the brookfield zoo quickly received a worldwide reputation for its special displays and unique exhibits.address: 1st

adversities, especially when we meet with life troubles.thoughts can be divided into two parts: good and bad thoughts. good thoughts or positive thinking lead to good character and when it appears in action, which is known as behaviors. on the contrary, bad thoughts lead to bad mental quality. gandhi and mandela were the result of good thoughts whereas hitler and mussolini became the villains(坏人) of history because of bad thoughts.our thoughts are magical. thoughts are powerful forces of energy. thoughts create everything we want in life. thoughts only come from our mind and we are the person in charge of our mind. so we create the thought and it create the circumstances (形势) in our life. since our thoughts create our reality, we create our reality too. life is full of hardships and dreams may break, but the reality remains the same. so our words and thoughts are more valuable than quotes (引述) pulled from texts or webs. intelligence, nature and temperament are born qualities and never change. they have great influence on thought. a persons feelings and thoughts could be best presented through the words and sentences that flow naturally from his heart. when we use our thoughts, what we think becomes a pioneer and it represents us. shakespeare had used his own words and today hes still alive as “king of dramas”. no pioneers in the history mixed their thoughts and feeling with those of their seniors. in conclusion, positive thought changes a person in doing magical deeds. life is a constant struggle against the forces of darkness that exists in form of the anger, hatred, violence, greed and root cause of all ignorance. the starting point of success truly then is optimism and hope, positive thinking and faiths. thus the use of our own words and thoughts are more valuable than quotes pulled from webs.27. what does the underlined word refer to?a. healthy states. b. useful suggestions. c. unusual experiences. d. daily difficulties.28. what can positive thinking bring about?a. good mental quality. b. polite behaviors. c. every success. d. unbelievable failures.29. we can infer from the third paragraph that _.a. thoughts are powerful forces of energy. b. thoughts can create everythingc. wed depend on our thoughts rather than quotes of textbooks or webs.d. thoughts come from human beings and other living creatures.30. how do people best present their feelings and thoughts?a. by communicating with others. b. by saying what they think naturally.c. by expressing his cheating words. d. by giving examples and stories.第2节 七选五（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
