【题目】Winter care for roses

Do roses need extra care for winter? Like so many other things in the garden, the answer is debatable. 1

Roses are grouped and referred to by type. Shrub roses are the hardiest and need little extra care. Hybrid tea roses and other roses are more likely to need winterization to survive or remain healthy.

2 And even shrub roses exposed to severe winter conditions can suffer. If roses are growing in a location that is subject to heavy winter winds, even the hardiest varieties may benefit from winterization.

Some gardeners live by the theory that if a plant can't grow well, the best bet is to replace it. 3 If you wish to do nothing with your roses, you also have chances of having plants around in the spring. If you like to baby plants along, winterization is for you.

Winterize roses after a hard freeze and cold weather. The first step is to add soil or other plant material over the crown(花冠)of the rose bush. The material should be about 12 inches deep over the crown. The second step to winterizing roses is to tie up the plants. 4 If the plants are tall, use ropes to provide support to them.

When spring comes, remove the added soil from the base of the plant. 5 This is the time to clean up cuts and reduce plant size if desired.

A.Location also plays a role, though.

B.Remove strings if plants have been tied up.

C.So they often change the plants they grow.

D.Other gardeners have plants that are almost like children.

E.You should consider sunshine and water when answering this question.

F.The main purpose is to prevent them from breaking off in the face of strong winds.

G.It depends on the plant variety, growing location and a gardener's personal preference.

【题目】When we smile, our system recognizes that there’s an absence of threat, and relaxes: It slows down our heart rate, and may temporarily reduce blood pressure, too, promoting overall heart health. Even forcing your face into a smile can reduce stress and relax your heart rate.

Smiling is a language that everyone understands regardless of age, race, culture, language, and nationality. We all know that when you smile at people, even strangers, they almost always smile back, spreading a kind of peace and goodwill. This contagious(有感染力的)smiling comes from a subconscious tendency to match other people’s emotions. It’s why people who spend time around children,who smile often, naturally smile more than people who keep mostly adults company.

People who are generous with smiles are considered more likeable and approachable than people who wear a deadpan(面无表情的)expression. Consider successful salesmen and politicians. Can you imagine how we’d react if they wore sour expressions? People who smile a lot are more likely to gain our trust — and earn better tips — than someone who provides the same service with an impassive face.

In a study, Major League Baseball players from 1952 who wore full-faced, genuine smiles on their baseball cards lived longer, around 79.9 years, compared to players who only partly smiled or didn’t smile at all, who lived 5 to 7 years less. Smiling can make us look younger, too: People who smile frequently seem to age more slowly, appearing around three years younger than their less smiley counterparts.

We now have evidence that we are hardwired to smile. While smiling used to be considered a learned behavior that babies acquired at around six weeks of age, more advanced ultrasound testing has shown that even babies who are bom blind can smile. Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb(子宫), and these reactions are thought to prepare them for their life outside. Now smiling has joined the list. Say cheese!

1What can smiling do according to Paragraph 1?

A. Remove your life pressure.

B. Improve the condition of the heart.

C. Make your blood pressure steady.

D. Prevent you from being absent-minded.

2What should you do if you want to smile more according to the author?

A. Stay more with people smiling more.

B. Approach smart children.

C. Care more about others’ feelings.

D. Volunteer together with more strangers.

3What does the author want to show by mentioning salesmen and politicians?

A. A false smile may hurt people.

B. Smiles contribute to a career.

C. Generous people tend to smile more.

D. Work pressure stops people smiling.

4What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A. Babies smile within 2 months.

B. Blind babies learn to smile.

C. Smiling is a natural ability.

D. Breathing and sucking are similar to smiling.

【题目】When Seattle-based poet Heather McHugh won $500,000 from the Mac Arthur Foundation, she didn’t buy a Maserati or fly to Paris. Instead, she put the money in the bank and continued teaching college courses and writing poetry. It wasn’t until about two years later, in 2011, that she finally figured out what to do with it.

She discovered there are millions of caregivers in the United States taking care of the chronically(长期地)ill or disabled. “It’s a heartbreaking contract of love,” she says. So in 2012, Heather formed Caregifted, a non-profit organization that offers a seven-day, all-expenses-paid vacation to Vancouver Island to people who have been caregivers for at least ten years.”It’s hard physical, psychological, and emotional work. “It’s clear they deserve and need a respite,” she says.

Tricia Eisner, a single mother of 19-year-old triplet(三胞胎中的一个)boys,two of them with severe illness, was one of the first caregivers to go on vacation, in 2013. When Tricia got a phone call saying Caregifted wanted to send her to Eastport,Maine,she “couldn’t believe” someone would pay for her to go on a vacation; disbelief gave way to concern about her sons. But after two days away, the worry was gone. n After being in Maine by myself, with nobody to take care of or think about except myself, I realized that rock was gone," says Tricia. She was afraid the heaviness would return when the week was over, but to her surprise, it hasn’t been back since.

Heather says, “Everybody needs restorative time. For some, it’s life-extending.” Tricia and the other guests aren’t the only ones to benefit from Caregifted ; Heather has too. “I thought I was the queen of love, being a poet, ” Heather says. “But I didn’t know a thing about love until I met these people.”

1Whom is Caregifted intended for?

A. The disabled. B. The kids.

C. The caregivers. D. The patients.

2What does the underlined word “respite” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. reward B. rest

C. job D. promotion

C. Excited. D. Doubtful.

4What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. People benefit when they give.

B. Poets are full of love and helpful.

C. Caregifted is life-extending.

D. Heather once lackedlove.

【题目】When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice , people seem to say , but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先).This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values .It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(视角)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets .The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes .The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

1According to paragraph 1, students_______.

A. regard music as a way of entertainment

B. disagree with their parents on education

C. view music as an overlooked subject

D. prefer the arts to science

2In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to.

A. compare it with rock music

B. show music identifies a society

C. introduce American musical traditions

D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles

3According to the passage , the arts and science.

A. approach the world from different angles

B. explore different phenomena of the world

C. express people’s feeling in different ways

D. explain what it means to be human differently

4What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Music education deserves more attention.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music is an effective communication tool.

D. Music education makes students more imaginative.
