Matt grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows fruits, too——big, sweet apples and oranges. And what else? Well, the biggest and the prettiest flowers.
Things grow in Mitt’s garden all through the year. He cuts some flowers for his sitting-room table; and, of course, he eats some fruit and vegetables. But he sells everything else in the market. Matt is not a poor man—oh, no, he isn’t poor.
I will tell you people do not understand him. And they do not understand has garden. “Why not?” you will ask, “It’s a good garden, isn’t it?”
It is a wonderful garden. Matt grows things in spring, summer, autumn and winter. After that he does very little work. He sits in the garden with his small radio. And everything grows.
People ask, “How does Matt grow these wonderful things? He waters the plants sometimes, but he doesn’t do anything else. He just sits under an orange tree with his radio. He listens to music nearly all day!” And that is all quite true. People cannot understand it, and so they don’t like it very much.
Mutt likes music. But what about the garden? Who does the work? I will tell you another truth: the music does the work. All plants love music; and Matt knows that.

Once Wilhelm K. Roentgen and several other scientists were experimenting with passing electric currents through certain gases in a special glass tube from which the air had been taken away. Then one day Roentgen noticed that when the tube was covered with black paper, some strange kind of radiation was coming through and making a screen nearby glow(发光). Roentgen could see anything out of the tube, but then he discovered that if he put the screen at the next room on the other side of a closed door, the rays still seemed to affect it. The glowing screen showed that the rays could pass not only through the black paper but also through wood.
The next thing he found out was that if he put his hand between the rays and a photographic
plate, the rays would print a shadow of the bony(骨头的) framework of his hand on the plate. In fact, the rays could pass as easily through the fleshy part of his hand as through the black paper. But hardly at all through the bone. So Roentgen made the first X-ray picture of a hand showing just how the bones in the hand fitted together.
Roentgen called the unknown rays X-rays, but other scientists called them Roentgen rays in
Roentgen discovered X-rays ___________.
A．by working hard B．by chance
C．by doing experiment after experiment D．with the help of several other scientists
What was in the special glass tube?
A．Air B．Nothing C．Nothing but gases D．None of the above
We may conclude that the rays Roentgen found were __________.
A．dangerous B．invisible C．colorful D．poisonous
What could X-rays hardly pass through?
A．Wood B．Glass C．Bones D．Black paper
Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A．the Discovery of Roentgen Rays. B．The Discovery of Electric Currents.
C．The First X-ray Picture of a Hand. D．The Use of the Photographic Plate.

The word “conservation” has a thrifty（节俭）meaning. To conserve is to save and to protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.
Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
For the interests of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table（水位）in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds（上游源头森林地带集水区）need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield ( produce ) their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big nature trees, because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume（容积量）above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.
1. According to the author the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _______.
|
A．they had no idea about scientific forestry |
|
B．they had little or no sense of environmental protection |
|
C．they did not realize the importance |
|
D．they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials |
2. It can be inferred from the passage that earlier generations didn’t realize _______.
|
A．the interdependence（相互依存）of water, soil, and living things |
|
B．the importance of the proper land use |
|
C．the harmfulness of soil destruction and river floods |
|
D．the extraordinary rapid growth of population |
3.With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that ______.
|
A．we plant more trees |
|
B．our forefathers be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plants |
|
C．environmental education be directed toward everyone |
|
D．we return to nature |
4.. What does the author imply（express indirectly）by saying “living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume（容积量）above the earth.”?
|
A．Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller. |
|
B．Our living space should be measured in cubic volume. |
|
C．We need to take some measures to protect space. |
|
D．We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals. |
5. The underlined word “restore” probably is closest to the meaning of “_________”.
|
A．put back |
B．bring back |
C．keep |
D．protect |

Most people want to be successful, but never stop to think what it will really take to get there in their chosen field. If it means going back to college for 2 years of night school, could you do it ? If it means reading a book a week for about 6 months in order to really master a new skill ? If you aren’t prepared to do any of those things because they are outside of your comfort zone, then you can forget being succesful. I guarantee you will never reach your goals in life, unless your goals are to be ordinary.
The biggest killer by far is the dreaded “ comfort zone ” where most people live in their entire life. And the funny thing is that people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that people who have reached some success get tons of time to just relax, but only because they’ve earned it ! If you haven’t built a successful business, or in some way built a career that allow you so much freee time, then you are stuck in the grinding world of nine-to-five jobs everyone else. So how comfortable is that ?
So what can you do about it ? Well, find a way to make something happen in your life--- build a business around your favourite hobby, write a book and publish it, or take a course in stock trading and become an expert at that, working on making enough money to retire. If you don’t take massive action that puts your way of your comfort zone, you will never be successful at much of anything. I promise--- and I don’t make many promises !
Finding real happiness in life can be a mystery for many. That’s why I wrote The Road to Happiness for those who want real success and happiness in life, including spirituality and all the gifts life has to offer.
Don’t wander aimlessly through life. Get focused on your goals, start helping others in need, and live life to the fullest ! Life is too short to be anything but happy. Visit my website and find what you’ve been missing. Sign up for my newsletter and get seven free ebooks, too ! Read hundreds of articles while you’re there in the article section, which is updated daily.

D．We should work together with other people to reach our goals in time. |
