15.Elijah was a smart boy.But he was self﹣centered and had a very bad temper
(脾气)When he got angry,he usually did some hurtful things.So,nobody wanted
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
to be friends with him.
Elijah's parents were worried about that.Finally,the father had an idea.He
gave Elijah a bag of nails and a big hammer.
"Every time you get angry," he
told the boy, "I want you to really let it out.Just take a nail and drive it
into the oak (橡木) boards of that old fence in the back yard.Hit that nail
as hard as you can!" The old fence was very hammer was heavy,so it wasn't as
easy as it first sounded.However,by the end of the first day,Elijah had driven
37 nails into the fence.
Gradually,the number became less.Holding his temper was easier than driving
nails into the fence.Finally,the day came when Elijah didn't lose his temper
at all.
"Now every time when you hold your temper all day long,pull out one
nail," his father told Elijah.
Much time has passed.At last,Elijah could be proud of himself as all the
nails were gone.When he told his father about it,his father asked him to walk
into the yard and take one more good look at the fence. "You have done well,
my son," his father said.
"But I want you to notice the holes that are left,
this fence will never be the same.Doing hurtful things in anger produces the same
kind of result.There will always be a scar (伤痕).It won't matter how many times
you say you're sorry,the scar will still be there.We need to treat everyone with
love and respect and prevent as many of those scars as we can."

16.Plants are certainly interesting and we have lots to learn about how they work,
but can one plant pass along a message to another plant?Can that second plant
receive the information and understand what it means?Modern research shows that
they do communicate with each other and the two most important plant communication
methods are chemicals and sounds.
Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that
young tree saplings (幼苗)getting bitten by insects could produce chemicals.Some
chemicals moved through the plant causing other parts of the plant to produce
a natural pesticide ( 除 虫 剂 ) which would discourage further feeding by
insects.The chemicals also moved through the air.You and I wouldn't notice,
but these insects chemicals carried a slight smell that neighboring plants could
notice and produced pesticides too.Over the past 20 years,scientists have found
that many kinds of plants produce chemicals when they're being attacked (袭
击).It'saplant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Of course.Because
the damage (伤害) is usually seen on the first plant,the neighbors stay well.
A new research,published in the journal Trends in Plant Science,has shown
that plants also communicate with each other by making "clicking" sounds,which
cannot be heard by the human ear,but they can be picked up by other plants.Using
powerful loudspeakers,researchers were able to hear clicking sounds coming from
the roots of corn saplings.Researchers also found that when they hung the young
roots in water and played a continuous noise at 220 Hz,a similar frequency (频
率) to the plant clicks,they found that the plants grew towards the source of
the sound.
Plants are really great communicators.They are giving out lots of useful
information to the environment.We are only just beginning to understand how this
information is produced and how it is then picked up by other plants who can use
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
it for their own benefit.So,the next time you step on some grass or pick a flower,
remember that the poor plant might be crying at its neighbors﹣ but we humans
just cannot hear it!
(1)Many plants
when they are bitten by insects.
A.give out chemicals
B.kill the insects with leaves
C.produce an awful smell
D.learn nothing about the attack
(2)What do you know about plants from the passage?
A.Plants have no natural abilities to protect themselves from insects.
B.The roots of the corn make clicking sounds when they are attacked.
C.Both chemicals and sounds made by plants are hardly noticed by people.
D.The same damage can usually be seen on a plant and its neighboring plants.
(3)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Why Do Plants Send Messages?
B.Do Plants Speak to Humans?
C.How Do Plants Communicate?
D.Do Plants Like Neighbors?
17.We all love our parents;our parents love us too.Things,however,can still be
wrong if both parents and children are not used to their ways of expressing love
in the right way.With parent﹣children relationships,the importance of it is
even more.
Different people have different ways of expressing love.The way someone
expresses love is referred to as the language of love.In the book The Five Love
Languages,the writer Gary Chapman states the five key love languages people use
are:words of affirmation (肯定),quality time (spent together),receiving gifts,
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
acts of service and physical touch.
Being brought up in a different generation,it's not surprising to know our
language of love is likely different from our parents'.For example,my parents
express their love by acts of service.They like to do things for me.For me,I
express love by giving words of affirmation.I also use other ways to express my
love,but communicating in the form of words is the primary method I use.I'm always
telling them how much I love them.
This difference created a big rift between us at the beginning.I would try
to communicate with them,but get nothing in return.In turn,they kept trying
to do things like buying food for me and cooking for me,but I would be impatient
of their preference for food.It wasn't until I recognized their underlying
intentions(意图) that things changed.
What do you think represents love to your parents?Rather than
"speak" to
your parents in your language of love,speak to them in their language of love.This
means if their language of love is quality time together,then spend more time
with them.If their language of love is receiving gifts,then buy a small gift
that means something to both of you.If their language of love is words of
affirmation,give them a compliment(称赞).They will be able to recognize your
intentions more easily that way,and accept them more readily.
Don't force them to accept a language they cannot recognize.An example would
be to insist on hugging them when they're clearly uncomfortable with the
idea.While you may have the best intentions,you just force them to accept your
beliefs.
Learn to
"speak" to them in their language,not in your language.You'll get
much better and faster results this way.
(1)According to the passage,parent﹣children relationships may be better
if
.
A.parents and children love each other

18.Linh Nguyen is a 14﹣year﹣old girl from Hanoi,Vietnam.She won the 2022
International Young Eco﹣Hero Awards,which recognize young people 8 to 16 years
old for their environmental achievements.
Since sixth grade,Linh's dream has been to help trees.When she was young,
Linh traveled with her family to several forests.However,when she returned to
her home in the city of Hanoi,she realized that many children there would never
be able to breathe the cool forest air and would not understand the value of forests
and the need to protect forest ecosystems (生态系统).
So,with two friends,all 12 years old at the time,she developed,wrote and
provided money for the publication of the book A Piece of Forest for You.The book
provides interesting information for children about what a forest is,its trees,
plants,and animals,and why its protection is important.It received a lot of
media attention,the first 2,000 copies sold out,and now the book is in its
second printing.Over 4 , 000 dollars in book sales was given to the Forest
Plantation Fund.Linh continued to visit schools and festivals to increase the
popularity of the book.
"I hope that through the book,I can provide knowledge for young people,
especially children living in cities , so that the younger generation can
understand,love and protect forests.Besides,through the sale of books,I want
to raise money to plant more trees in the forest." Before publishing the book,
