   A
   Father’s Garden
   My father was always a good gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging
   in the ground.
   As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow
   corn, and our favorite—red tomatoes.
   As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.
   But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.
   For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.
   21. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child?
   1. He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father.
   2. He loved being in the garden with his father.
   3. The garden was full of his favorite food.
   4. The garden was just freshly tilled.

22. When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father _____.

1. stopped his gardening. B. turned to other hobbies.

C. devoted more to gardening. D. focused on planting tomatoes.

23. What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill?

1. There was a great harvest.
2. The garden was almost deserted.
3. No plant grew in the garden at all.
4. The author’s son took charge of the garden.

24. Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes?

1. He wanted to honor his father.
2. His son liked the fields of tomatoes.
3. He only knew how to grow tomatoes.
4. He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.
   B
   Advertising actually has a dual(双重的)function：to sell，as well as to inform．If you stop to think of it，advertisements(ads)provide information of almost everything in our household and immediate environment，from shampoo to fuel for cars．An obvious purpose is to inform consumers of new products and services as well as to remind them of established ones．Performance，price，value for money，quality and reliability are some of the main features mentioned in ads．
   Yet there is another important side of advertising that should not be forgotten：choice．A number of ads for different brands of the same product，e．g．toothpaste，shampoo or washing powder allow the consumer to choose．Choice is an important part of buying．
   In this busy day and age，there is little time for comparison shopping．To determine which product is the best to buy，and at the most competitive price，consumers these days rely on advertising in its various forms．This saves time and energy and makes shopping easier．
   Few can deny that ads benefit the consumer since they encourage healthy competition．When companies compete for the consumer’s dollar，this is good for the purchaser of the product or service．Advertising tends to increase competition since it informs consumers of what is available．One company’s offer will be either matched or bettered by another company in its advertising．
   It was unheard of ten years ago to buy products directly using a personal computer，but it has become a matter of course for some people to browse(浏览)the Internet，surf until they find an ecommerce site and then select the product．Marketing products has been almost turned upside down by new ways of selling and buying．More than at any time in history，the choice of goods is unlimited．The whole world is a customer’s marketplace．For busy people like you and me，advertisements actually do us a favor．
   25．What the writer of this passage wants to tell us most is that__________．
   1. advertisements benefit busy people in many ways

B .advertisements encourage more business competitions

C .advertisements provide main features of new products

D .selling and informing are two functions of advertising

26．Which is leastdiscussed in the passage as one of the important sides of advertising?

1. To inform consumers of new products and services．
2. To provide consumers with chances to choose．
3. To increase healthy competition of companies．
4. To change the way of selling and buying．

27．The “comparison shopping” refers to the behavior of ．

A．comparing and buying a product at the lowest price

B．comparing and deciding which is the best to buy

C．relying on advertising and simplifying shopping

D．buying a product at the least competitive price

28．Healthy competition benefits consumers because___________．

1. it helps companies to compete for the market
2. it gets companies to improve their services
3. it provides them with the best products and services
4. it gives them many chances to choose their products

Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures .The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today ,however ,perform quite a different role .Unlike most art museums ,the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public .These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.

People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something ,while the second tells you the success of a sale.

One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits .Unlike the average art museum visitors ,design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled .This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do ,and how design has improved the quality of our lives .Art museum exhibits ,on the other hand ,would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding.

In recent years ,several new design museums have opened their door .Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas .London’s Design Museum ,for example ,shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins .The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums ,and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.

33．Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they .

A．show more technologically advanced products

B．help increase the sales of products

C．show why the products have sold well

D．attract more people than store windows do

34．The author believes that most design museum visitors .

A．do not admire mass-produced products

B．are puzzled with technological exhibits

C．dislike exhibits in art museums

D．know the exhibits very well

35．The choices open to design museums .

A．are not as strict as those to art museums

B．are not aimed to interest the public

C．may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors

D．often contain precious exhibits

How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong

___36___Do not hide things from them, do not lie. Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust, there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they'll learn to open up to you.

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your invitation.

I'd love to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I'm sorry to inform you that I can't. My grandpa is seriously ill in hospital and I have to attend him. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, who is the most suitable choice to take my place next Sunday. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a broad knowledge of traditional Chinese painting, which combined with her active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wishes to you.
