7、to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in f
8、act license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorns horn at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and r
9、ainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home
10、for animals,” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told the Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythic
11、al creature. They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether thats seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurtin
12、g people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madelines letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, shes in for a magical surprise.4 Why did Madeline

One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unri
16、pe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries
17、differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great ent
18、husiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the north-east of America are now doing, can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: there are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so
19、 why bother to make your own meals?That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and celtuce and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they
20、are usually packaged in. While finding, lets say, celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops
21、for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a seasons harvest to uncooperative weather.No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking. Writing or almost anything worthwhile is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and di

They give out pleasant and fresh smell.C. They are picked days before fully grown.D. They are planted typically in winter.9. W
23、hat does the underlined word “misconstrues“ mean in paragraph 4?A. Misinterprets.B. Transforms.C. Mistrusts.D. Highlights.10. Why does the author mention the failures in gardening?A. To warn readers not to take up gardening easily.B. To advise readers to work in harmony with nature.C. To make reader
24、s reflect on the methods of gardening.D. To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.11. What is the authors opinion on gardening?A. Its a difficult and time-consuming process.B. Products of gardening make it worthwhile.C. The time and efforts invested make it a delight.D. It reduces the cost
25、of purchasing vegetables.DEveryone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.We love these plots in
26、 the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives
27、appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning aft
28、er stressful events.McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Ei
29、ght weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning p
30、oint in life. If they cant, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.Clearly, self-narratives arent the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we
31、can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.12. What does the research focus on?A. The causes of stress.B. The principles of narrative.C. The connection between struggle and well-being.D. The link between mental health and self-narratives.13. Why is the experimen

Attempt to get rid of worries.B. Means of recognizing yourself.C. Solution to adolescent problems.D. Guarante
