The front of the house, however, isanother story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be justthrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could and called this area our rock garden. Whenever wehad leftover flowers or plants, my wife Denise or l would stick them out front, just tobring some color to the area, I still do all of my own yard work, even the terribleweed-pulling. After putting on my knee pads（护膝）I assume the position to clear theyard of weeds, even in the rock garden.Last summer I reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plantthat I could not immediately identify. I knew I didnt plant it and Denise claimed thatshe didnt either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out whatit was,Weeks passed and as I made my way .back to the mystery plant, it turned out aSunflower. It was weak looking with a tall skinny stalk(茎)and only. one head on it. Idecided to baby it along and weed around it, As I pulled rocks from the area to get tothe weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I sawthe stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around itto reach the sun.Thats when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didnt let a big rock stand inits way of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. We need tobelieve in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our desires like theSunflower, which overcame its obstacle.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and theenvironment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or aroundyour big obstacle in order to reach your desires.51. The underlined word assume in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. take B. reconsiderC. refuse . D. suppose52.

Mr. Pogue wrote, The Apple Watch is light-years better than any of theefforts that have come before it. The screen is nicer, the software is perfect andbug-free and the body is real jewelry.But he ended the review with, You dont need one. Nobody needs a smart watch.After all, its something else to buy, care for and charge every night. Its another cableto pack and track. Your phone already serves most of its purposes. With thebattery-life situation as it is, technology is just barely in place to make such a deviceusable at all.Many Apple products are known for being easy to use. But technology expertssay it will take some time for users to learn the new wearable device. Scott Stein ofCNET magazine said he felt lost when using the watch. He wrote, There are so manyways to interact: swiping, touching, and pressing harder into the display, a button anda clickable digital crown-wheel. Plus, theres Siri. Do I swipe, or click, or force touchor speak? Sometimes I didnt know where an app menu was. Or, Id find getting backto an app I just opened would require an annoying series of crown clicks, swipingthrough apps, then opening the app again.Like many first-generation products, the reviewers are disappointed with somefeatures of the watch, like poor quality speaker on the watch and limited capability ofthird-party apps. And users need to have one of the latest iPhones to be able to use thewatch.Despite the negative reviews, many of the smartwatch reviewers agreed thatApple will still sell many watches to Apple fans. Joshua Toplsky of BloombergBusiness wrote, Apple will sell millions of these devices, and many people will loveand obsess over them,59. The passage is developed mainly by .A. giving examples of different peopleB. comparing opinions in different fieldsC. analyzing the reasons for the phenomenonD. presenting comments from different people60. David Pogue may agree with all the following statements EXCEPT that .A. the watch works well with its softwareB. the battery of the watch only lasts a short periodC. the watch is much lighter than any other productD. a mobile phone covers lots of the watchs functions61. Some reviewers are not really happy partly becauseA. the watch is the first-generation productB. the watch made of jewelry is too expensiveC. using the watch sometimes makes people confusedD. you must buy a new smart phone to use the watch62. According to the passage, the authors attitude to Apple Watch probablyis .A. neutral B. indifferentC. subjective . D. doubtfulDNervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in Britains newest police station may feelrelieved by a pleasant yellow color on the door. If they are close to admitting a crime,the blue on the wall might tip the balance.Gwent Police have abandoned colors such as greys and browns of the20th-century police cell (牢房) and have used color psychology to decorate them.Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of 5 million has fourcells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia (幽闭恐怖症) ,Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming color.Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the color islikely to encourage truthfulness.The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a live scan system for drunken ordisturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm warnsofficers if a prisoners breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.Designers and psychologists have worked for years on color. Blue is said tosuggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking. and calm. It also suggestscoldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will make clear thoughtand lighter, soft colors will calm the mind and aid concentration.Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness, Get the colorwrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can liftspirits and self-respec
