relationship broke. it began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. one morning farmer john woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “it must be bob,” john thought. then one day there was a knock on johns door. he opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway. “im looking for a few days work,” the carpenter said. “i do have a job for you,” john said. “look across the stream at that farm. thats my neighbor bob. he dug a stream between the two farms. i want you to build a fencean 8-foot fence. i dont want to see his place or his face any more. i dont have such a neighbor!” the carpenter said, “i think i know what to do, sir, and ill be able to do a job that pleases you.” farmer john helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. about sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. the farmers eyes opened wide. there was no fence there at all! it was a bridge! and the neighbor, bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “hi, john! youre quite a fellow to build this bridge!” then they met in the middle, taking each others hands. “im terribly sorry for what i have said and done. we should be good to each other.” said farmer bob. then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “no, wait! stay a few days. i have a lot of other jobs for you,” said farmer john. “id love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but i have more bridges to build.”21. just before the carpenter came, john and bob each othera. didnt speak to b. were friendly to c. often fought with d.

or early fall the large, yellow seed heads of sunflowers will be ripening. if gardeners can keep off the birds and other wildlife trying to eat the seeds, they can have a large harvest. the bright yellow blooms will make a rainbow garden, brightening up any space. however, planting the sunflower seeds is a skilled job. plant seeds no deeper than the full length of itself. smaller sized sunflowers can be spaced a foot apart. larger varieties will need to be spaced as far apart as three feet. this allows ripe plants enough space for the seed heads to ripen without knocking the ripe seeds off before gardeners have a chance to harvest them. most sunflower seeds, especially those with eatable seeds, are large enough to handle without the need for seed sorters. this is why sunflowers make an excellent choice for a childrens garden as well. gardeners will want to mix plenty of soil fertilizers into the ground as sunflowers tend to be heavy feeders. sunflowers can be slow starters and the tiny new plants dont seem to grow very rapidly. gardeners should protect the new plants as they begin to grow. once they get going, sunflowers are able to out-grow many weeds, making them easier to grow in the home vegetable garden than many other plants. most pests and diseases are not a bother to the sunflower, however, more than one gardener has said that their lovely looking plants were destroyed overnight by hungry squirrels, mice or birds. to preserve their harvest, gardeners can cover the ripening seed head with stockings or net cloth to help keep the destroyers off the seeds. planting sunflower seeds is easy and can help even the smallest gardener feel successful in their gardening attempts.25. what is the passage mainly about? a. how to plant sunflowers. b. different kinds of sunflowers. c. ways to preserve sunflowers. d. tips on making your garden bright.26. why should enough space be left between sunflowers? a. to prevent birds from eating sunflower seeds. b. to offer the sunflowers enough sunlight. c. to protect the ripe seed heads before harvest. d. to help the sunflowers grow stronger.27. why do children love to grow sunflowers in their garden? a. they want to decorate their garden with sunflowers. b. the seeds are easy to plant and unnecessary to sort. c. they want to share their own harvest with their parents. d. sunflowers dont need too much soil fertilizer. 28. which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4? a. grow faster than. b. get rid of. c. grow slower than. d. take the place of.cpeople arent walking any more if they can figure out a way to avoid it.i felt superior about this matter untilthe other day i took my car to mail a small parcel. the journey is a matter of 281 steps. but i used the car. and i wasnt in any hurry, either, i had merely become one morevictim of a national sickness: motorosis. it is an illness to which i had thought myself immune(免疫的), for i was raised in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. at that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. it did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. and the effect was lasting. when i was 45 years old i raced and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the stature of liberty.such exercises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. but a well-known british physician, sir adolphe abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. a person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. and walking is an ideal form of exercise the most familiar and natural of all.it was henry thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. the man walking can learn thetrees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. he cannot learn in a car.the car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. many people dont dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. to them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. and much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.i say that the green of forests is the minds best light. and none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.29. what was life like when the author was young?a. people used to climb the statue of liberty.b. people

river” in paragraph 6?a.a queue of cars. b. a ray of traffic light.c. a flash of lightning. d. a stream of people.32. what is the authors intention of writing this passage?a. to tell people to reflect more on life.b. to recommend people to give up driving.c. to advise people to do outdoor activities.d. to encourage people to return to walking.devery year, the fascinating tourist destinations below

spend in the kitchen. here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. think ahead. the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. so think about of the coming week. when will you have time to cook? do you have the right materials ready? 37 2. make your time worth it. when you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and

surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. it gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes（烹饪法） that can work well with your appetite and schedule. the more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and dont let a busy schedule
