if so, then topping is unnecessary but if youd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practiceto free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactorythis gives you a shot at the truly beautiful stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can yield a lot more growth than staying putthough dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, i do find it to be the more beautiful path51by using metaphor, the author means that the tops of flowers are _ apersonal growth bhis writing and speaking ca stronger attempt elsewhere dthe first results we produce in a certain area52if you believe that you have a good shot at improvement, you believe that ayou have a strong ability to improve byou have a good chance to improve cyou are good at improving dyou are fond of improving53the author calls on the readers through the passage to _ asettle where they are bdrop the truly beautiful cstep out of their comfort zone dget rid of the uncomfortable experience54the best title of the passage should be _ acomfort or growth bpersonal development cthe topping approach dflower gardens in holland【参考答案】51-54 dbca 【2014模拟】阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 woman uses daughters key to steal car charlie vansant, a college student of athens, ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughters car and taken itusing her key kate anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughters car near an ohio university building last week anderson spotted the nickel-ay toyota camry（银灰色丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughters key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasnt her daughters when charlie vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spothe first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldnt find a record of it, they took a theft report the morning after anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the camry in the driveway wasnt hersanderson said she was able to find vansants name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university when anderson told charlie the car was in her driveway, it sounded real suspicious at first, like may he she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（赎金）,”said vansant he eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car according to police report, the ease was closed because of mistaken car identity, anderson wasnt charged vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the thiefher key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置） as well - so high-five for toyota i guess he said21what does the underlined word towed mean in paragraph 3?
