Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal (愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference (妨碍) from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.51Why should pruning be done ?ATo make the tree grow taller. BTo improve the shape of the tree.Cto get rid of the small ranches. DTo make the small branches thicker.52Trees become unhealthy if the gardeners .A. cut away the diseased or dead wood B. allow too many branches to grow in the middle.C. cover a wound . D. damage some of the small side branches53Why is a special material painted on the tree ?ATo help a wound to dry . BTo cover a rough surface .CTo make a wound smooth . DTo prevent disease entering a wound .54A good gardener prunes a tree .Aseveral times throughout the year Bas quickly as possibleCoccasionally when necessary Dregularly every winterBYou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious(慎重的) choices rather than reactionary(反动的) ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to bethis is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.55The main purpose of this passage is to .Apersuade the readers to make a promiseBexplain to the readers what personal values areCinform the readers how to be truly happyDinstruct the readers how to make wise choices56According to the text, living by your being values, you would .Again a lot of power Bform positive personalityCseek all human virtues Dfill your own needs57The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means .Aa feeling of emptiness Ban absence of ones mindCa break of continuity Da state of confusion58What can be inferred from the text?AHaving values are better than being values.BA calm person does not choose to complain.CThe way other people think of you decides who you are.DA responsible person does not care about financial security.CHigh school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. Its much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not too brightSo researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma（证书）， and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So， if failing grades dont explain why these kids quit, what does? Again， John Bridgeland：The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they werent inspired or motivated(激励). They didnt see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory（义务的）attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school“As these dropouts look back，they realize theyve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and stick it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the pointthe need for reform. Its been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.59.

According to the passage，which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New Hampshire.B. Utah. C. New Mexico. D. The District of Columbia.61. The underlined words “stick it out” probably means“_”A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves62. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_.A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no educationDBut I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro(blacks )mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white mans house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didnt have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma ,who walked out of a white womans clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months ,and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. Shed have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldnt bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh ,they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasnt soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills.
