19、 our favourite clothing store. Wow, I gasped. We both knew how many cute clothes that would buy. So, are we going to just hand it to her?How embarrassing(尴尬的) that would be! Nellie answered.

20、 Wait a second. I have an idea. Nellie said. What? What?Im not going to tell you!On the day of our party, Mary arrived, withno surprisethe very old brown trousers.

24、e you look outdoors, spring seems to bring with it lots of wildflowers, which provides us with nice colors and sweet smells. Joel Sartore, a photographer and an environmentalist, has made a point of planting native (本地的) wildflowers at home and at his office. He also encourages his neighbours to sta
25、rt their own gardens of native plants. Why? Wildflowers need our belp. In the U. S. , Great Plains alone, over 33 million acres of wildflowers and grasslands have been lost since 2009, according to WWF. Youve probably heard that wildflowers support insects like butterflies and bees, which play a hug
26、e role in pollinating crops (庄稼授粉) that we depend on for food. Thats just one of many ways wildflowers and other native plants are important to our earth. Native flowers are part of a living network. They lock carbon(碳)within soil, an important part of mitigating (减 缓) changes in weather. They store
27、 water and nutrients, which are good for forests. And, of course, they look beautiful, making them an attraction in any places. If we hope to encourage children to grow up fighting to save the planet, wildflowers are a perfect fit; they get kids thinking about nature with a sense of wonder, Sartore
28、says. These places serve as outdoor classrooms, plus they clean our air, soil, and water. ”But what can we do? You dont have to be an eager gardener or have lots of land to put your effort into. If you live in a city, you can just plant flowers in a window box or on your rooftop. Another way to get
29、involved beyond your own space at home is to find out how public green spaces near you are managed. You can also volunteer at a local nature center, or community garden that is planting native plants. If you arent sure what types of plants are native to your area, ask at a nearby garden center or se
30、arch online. I believe that people want to help make the planet a better place, but they just dont know where to start, Sartore says. Planting wildflowers and other plants is a great way. ”27. Why does Sartore plant wildflowers at home and at his office?A. To show what types of plants are native to
31、the area. B. To encourage his neighbours to plant more native plants. C. To provide kids with some places as outdoor classrooms. D. To call attention to the disappearing of native wildflowers. 28. Whats Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The power of wildflowers. B. The ways of planting flowers. C. The ben
32、efits of insects like bees. D. The importance of the living network. 29. According to the passage, what might be the proper way to help with native wildflowers?A. Working as volunteers to help in local parks. B. Building a big garden near your community. C. Moving from the city to the village to gro
33、w plants. D. Encouraging yourself to be an eager gardener first . DIts a feeling youve almost experienced beforethe fear of waiting for an exam to start. You worry about whether youve prepared well, and about the possible failure. Gerardo Ramirez and Sian Beilock have found that students do better i
34、n exams if they spend ten minutes writing about their worries. At first, Ramirez and Beilock tested their solution in the lab. They asked 20 college students to take two math tests. Before the first test, the students were simply told to do their best. Before the second test, each student was assign
35、ed (分配) a partner who had already finished and improved on their original score. If the student could do the same, both partners would get money. If not, neither would get anything. Before they started the second test, half of the students sat quietly and the other half wrote openly about their feel
36、ings on the coming exam. Ramirez and Beilock found that although both groups scored similar marks in the first relaxed test, the writing group did much better at the second test. Their scores improved; rising by an extra 5%. And the students who sat quietly actually did worse; their marks were 12% l
37、ower. But was it the act of writing itself that did the trick? To answer that, Ramirez and Beilock ran the experiment again in a real setting. This time, they worked with 51 ninth-grade students. Six weeks before the final biology exam, they asked the students how anxious (焦虑的) they were. When the f
38、inal hour arrived, the students were asked for a 10-minute writing exercise. Half of them had to write about their thoughts on the coming exam, while the other half had to write about an unrelated topic. Only then did they sit the exam. Their final scores showed that if the students wrote about unre
39、lated topics, their scores were lower. If they wrote about their worries, their anxieties had no effect on their marks. And when Ramirez divided the students into two groups according to how anxious they were, only the high group benefited from the exercise. Ramirez and Beilocks study has obvious pr
40、actical effect. Theyve found a. simple way of helping the anxious students to perform at their true level. Theyve also shown that the key to control our anxieties is not to push them aside, but to face them. 30. What do we know about Ramirez and Beilocks testing in the lab?A. 51 college students got
41、 involved. B. The writing group scored lower in the test. C. The students were required to take two tests. D. The students scored the same during the testing. 31. The words did the trick in Paragraph 4 probably mean _”.A. told a jokeB. lowered the scoresC. produced the resultD. increased the worries

What the students wrote before the test influenced their scores. C. The topics the students wrote about after the test mattered a lot. D. Students with no worries per
43、formed at their best level in the test. 33. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Writing about exam worries improves students resultsB. Writing exercises might lead working memory to do bestC. Practising writing encourages students to score high in examsD. Developing wri

45、s, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance. There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from cla
46、sses offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.

In many ways, researchers are just catching up millions of people in China and Chinatown
47、s around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji offers the greatest benefit to older people who are healthy but relatively inactive.
