Let me see完形填空Many of us bear in mind the little hatred that may have arisen from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. 36 , we wait for someone else to reach out to usbelieving this is the only way we can 37 or reawaken a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isnt very good, recently told me that she hadnt 38 her son in almost three years. “Why not?” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a(n) 39 about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again 40 he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she 41 initially and said, “I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize.” She was 42 willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle 43 , she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was 44 for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the 45 , everyone wins when someone takes the chance and reaches out.Whenever we 46 on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our 47 . They are not. If you want to be a more 48 person you must understand that being right is almost 49 more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go and reach out. Let other people be 50 . This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll 51 the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less 52 and more loving toward you. They might even 53 . But, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. You will have the inner 54 of knowing that you have done your part to 55 a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself.36.A. FortunatelyB. StrangelyC. StubbornlyD.

But below ground, most land plants are connected by fungi (真菌) called mycorrhizae(菌根). The new study proves clearly that these fungi also aid in communication. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, the James Hutton Institute and Rothamsted Research, all in the UK, conducted a clever experiment to study the effects of these thread-like networks. The team concerned themselves with aphids, tiny insects that feed on and damage plants. Many plants have chemicals that they use when aphids attack, which both drive the aphids away and attract parasitic wasps(寄生蜂) that are aphids natural enemies. The team grew sets of five broad bean plants, allowing three in each group to develop mycorrhizal networks, and preventing the networks growth in the other two. To prevent any through-the-air chemical communication, the plants were covered with bags. As the researchers allowed single plants in the sets to be infested(侵扰) with aphids, they found that if the infested plant was connected to another by the mycorrhizae, the un-infested plant began to use its chemical defence. Those unconnected by the networks appeared not to receive the signal of attack, and showed no chemical response. Mycorrhizal fungi need to get products of photosynthesis(光合作用) from the plant, and they have to do something for the plant, explained John Pickett of Rothamsted Research. In the past, we thought of them making food available from the roots and soil, but now we see another role for them in which they pay the plant back by sending a warning signal efficiently, he told BBC News. Prof Pickett expressed his surprise that it was just so powerful just such a fantastic signalling system. The finding could be put to use in many crops that suffer aphid damage, by arranging for a particular sacrificial plant to be more easily harmed by aphid infestation, so that when aphids threaten, the network can provide advance notice for the rest of the crop. Now weve got a chance in a really efficient manner of switching on the defence when it is needed not straining the plant to do it all the time and to reduce the development of resistance of the aphids to the plants defence, Prof Pickett said. 59.Researchers covered the plants with bags to _. A. keep them from infectionB. test the influences of insects C. protect them from insectsD. stop them signaling via the air60. How is Paragraph 5 mainly developed? A. By giving descriptions.B.

The fungus network plays a role in plant communicationBTom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother, Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day, as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. In Sunday school, Tom does not manage to get a Bible because Mr. Walters knew he was trading tickets.Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get engaged by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been engaged previously, to a girl named Amy Lawrence. Shortly after being shunned by Becky, Tom accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witnessed the murder of Dr. Robinson. Tom, Huck, and Joe Harper run away to an island. While enjoying their newfound freedom, the boys become aware that the community is searching the river for their bodies. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion. After a brief moment of remorse at his loved ones suffering, Tom is struck by the idea of appearing at his funeral.Back in school, Tom gets himself back in Beckys favor after he nobly accepts the blame for a book she has ripped. Soon, Muff Potters trial begins, in which Tom testifies against Injun Joe. Potter is acquitted, but Injun Joe flees the courtroom through a window. Tom then begins to fear for his life as Injun Joe is at large and can easily find him.Summer arrives, and Tom and Huck go hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs they hear a noise below. Peering through holes in the floor, they see Injun Joe disguised as a deaf-mute Spaniard; Injun Joe and his companion plan to bury some stolen treasure of their own. From their hiding spot, Tom and Huck wriggle with delight at the prospect of digging it up. Huck begins to shadow Injun Joe nightly, watching for an opportunity to nab the gold. Meanwhile, Tom goes on a picnic to McDougals Cave with Becky and their classmates. That same night, Huck sees Injun Joe and his partner making off with a box. He follows and overhears their plans to attack the Widow Douglas. By running to fetch help, Huck stops the violence and becomes an anonymous hero.A week later, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, and, when Huck attempts to escape civilized life, Tom tricks him into thinking if Huck returns to the widow, he can join Toms robber band. Reluctantly, Huck agrees and goes back to the Widow Douglas.67. According to the passage, which of the following states is TRUE?A.

It came from a neighboring state, where the familys only surviving relative lived. It was Sallys relative a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人). As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relatives home and subscribed for the local paper. For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower-pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.“Thirty thousand dollars!”All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.There was no romance-reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour note-making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, itll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand well have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap-robe for winter.” Aleck re
