    The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to  36  the sweat off  my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“  37  can’t it rain?” I thought. That would   38  things down.
    I thought about my  39  , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned  40  right now. I’d had some problems in school,   41  my parents decided to let me  42  full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken  43  of a maintenance（道路养护）company.

    “Dad! Pull over! I want to  50  something out.”
    I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to  51  …there wasn’t much time.  52  I saw a Toyota that   53  upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody  54  there, I thought. Then, just at that   55  , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver’s side window!
    “Heeeelp!”a lady moaned.

    “Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
    One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
    Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
    Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
    Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
    Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
    71．What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
    A．A lot of care and the right soil.                           B．Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
    C．Tomato plants grown alongside.                   D．Cages placed around the roots.
    72．The writer planted the tomato because _________.
    A．it cost only $1.25                                       B．the soil was just right for it
    C．there was room for it in the garden                     D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered
    73．This year the writer’s roses were __________.
    A．removed from the rose bed                         B．picked along with the tomatoes
    C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight          D．largely hidden under the tomato plant
    74．By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.
    A．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
    B．show the hardship of growing the roses
    C．express her liking for the roses                           D．express her care for the tomatoes
    75．In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.
    A．the roses cost the writer little money
    B．the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
    C．someone will help the writer make the decision
    D．the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes

    In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

    With the rapid increase of economic rate in western countries,more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime,many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining.But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.?
    Of course,a small family has its advantages.Firstly,the small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their child.Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several.The child could grow up in an influential environment.Secondly,the child could learn more survival skills for future success.?

    There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn't change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
    One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help theft friends ill time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started" Vision Quest".

    The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. 
    It's hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.

    When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
    When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
    For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
    小题1:In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.
    A．become serious about her study
    B．go to her friend’s house regularly
    C．learn from her classmates at school

    小题2:In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.
    A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
    B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
    C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared
    D．we parted with each other in London

    A．call each other regularly
    B．have similar personalities
    C．enjoy writing to each other
    D．dream of meeting each other
    小题4:In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.
    A．seek professional helpB．be left alone
