| "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 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 to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I 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 tow full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already turned 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 Scarlet in Gone with the Wind, I"ll think about that tomorrow. | |||||||||||||||||

| Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the toy of choice for many 1- 3 years old children. It"s a phenomenon that is attracting the attention of some childhood development specialists. Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, then barely 2 years old, held her husband"s iPhone. "She pressed the button and it lit up. I just remember her eyes. It was like "Whoa!" "The parents were charmed by their daughter"s fascination. But then, said Ms. Sykes, "She got serious about the phone."Kelsey would ask for it. Then she"d cry for it. "It was like she"d always want the phone," Ms. Sykes said. Apple, the iPhone"s designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so simple and intuitive(直观的) that even technologically confused adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that expert children would follow. Tap a picture on the screen and something happens. What could be more fun? Many iPhone on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled "educational," such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which broadcasts live video of animals at zoos around the world. There are "flash cards" aimed at teaching children to read and spell, and a "Wheels on the Bus" program that sings the popular song in multiple languages. Then there"s the new iGo Potty program, with automated phone calls reminding toddlers that it"s time to "go ". Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty. They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long advised parents not to let their children watch any TV until they are past their second birthday. Jane M. Healy, an educational psychologist in Vail, Colo. said: "Any parent who thinks a spelling program is educational for that age is missing the whole idea of how the preschool brain grows. What children need at that age is whole body movement, the skills of playing lots of objects and not some difficult technology. You"re not learning to read by lining up the letters in the word "cat." You"re learning to read by understanding language, by listening." | |||||||||||||||||
| 1. The main purpose of Kelsey referred to in the passage is to ____. | |||||||||||||||||
| A. not only adults but children are crazy about iPhones B. encourage people to buy this toy for their children C. advertise for the toy D. show Kelsey likes the toy very much | |||||||||||||||||
| 2. The underlined words "it"s time to "go" "in Paragraph 3 mean ______. | |||||||||||||||||
| A. it"s time to stop playing the toy B. it"s time to go to sleep C. it"s tie to go to the washroom D. it"s time to go home | |||||||||||||||||
| 3. The parents asking their young children to play iPhones feel guilty because _____. | |||||||||||||||||
| A. they know the toy has a negative effect on them B. the children damage the toy C. they are not sure of the real effect of the toy D. they ask their children to watch live video of animals | |||||||||||||||||
| 4. In Jane"s mind, in educating preschoolers parents should _____. | |||||||||||||||||
| A. buy this toy for their children. B. ask their children to play as many toys as possible C. ask their children to learn a spelling program D. know how the preschool brain grows | |||||||||||||||||

| You Can"t Be Replaced As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (叛逆的) on the outside, 1 on the inside I wanted people to 2 me. Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn"t 3 and there were many times I didn"t feel safe. One situation in particular left me 4 for still being alive. When I returned home, I was different -not so outwardly (外表上) sure of myself. I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 5 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 6 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 7 if I weren"t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 8 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 9 me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful 10 but I was the only person who could fill my 11 . She made me realize that even with my 12 , -and they were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldn"t be replaced. I became a searcher, 13 who I was and what made me unique. My 14 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to 15 in ways that I didn"t like any more, and I 16 who I really was. I came to feel much more 17 that no one can ever take my place. Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are 18 no matter what others say or what you may think. So 19 about being replaced. You 20 be. | |||||||||||||||||
