There was also a note attached：“IOU eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”Marvin kept his promise，too.He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架)，a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula，where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes－every time.I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!31．By saying “Do you see a money tree outside…”the mother actually means “________”．A．Observation is the best teacherB．Seeing is believingC．The outsider sees the most of the gameD．It is not easy to gain money32．The best title for the passage would probably be________.A．My flower gardenB．Marvin helps to realize my dreamC．Love in MichiganD．Money grows on trees33．The underlined word “no-frills”in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to________.A．wasteful B．tightC．absurd D．helpful34．From the passage we can infer that the mother is________.A．divorced when she was youngB．not caring for her kids any longerC．alone but not at all lonelyD．prouder with her garden than with her kidsBOnce upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict(冲突)．It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.In the end，they fell apart.One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work.The elder brother said，“I just have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek(河沟). My younger brother lives there.It was he who used his bulldozer(推土机)to dig the creek last week to spite(刁难)me.So I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, in order not to see his place any more.”The carpenter smiled and said，“I see.I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.At sunset when the farmer returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all！Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching.The brothers stood at each end of the bridge，and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days.I've a lot of other work for you，”said the elder brother.“I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said，“but I have so many more bridges to build.”35．What was the life like for the two brothers before the conflict?A．They lived a poor life.B．They lived in peace.C．They never spoke to each other.D. They lived on the same farm.36．It can be learned that the carpenter was________.A．unwilling to obey the farmerB. fond of building bridgesC. unable to build a fenceD．willing to help others37．The best title for this passage is________.A．A Fine Piece of WorkB．A CarpenterC．A Conflict between Two BrothersD．Two Brothers38．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The elder brother used his bulldozer to dig a creek.B.

Unit 23 Conflict一、阅读理解。

Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic，according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment.Asher，a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience，and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft，deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks，the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this，we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans，which pigs find bittertasting，”a researcher said.Over a number of training trials，pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary，they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations，to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside，showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others，however，behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans，displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one­size­fits­all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people，there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.1．What was the study trying to figure out?A．How to make pigs happier.B．The similarities between humans and pigs.C．How living environment affected pigs' mood.D．How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.2．What does the underlined word “cushier”in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Simple. B．More comfortable.C．Unpractical. D．Less free.3．Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A．The bowl with chocolate sweets.B．The bowl containing coffee beans.C．The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D．The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.4．What do the findings of the new research imply?A．People should treat pigs equally.B．People's health relies on meat quality.C．People should meet pigs' various needs.D．People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.【解题导语】本文是一篇研究报告，讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。
