Often one of the children would want something that cost too much, and I would say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn"t grow on trees, you know. "Finally, when all five had gotten through high school and college, and had started having their own families, I started thinking again about having a garden. However, I knew gardens cost money. Then, one spring morning on Mother"s Day, as I was working in my kitchen, I heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard. I couldn"t believe my eyes: it was a money tree! Dollar bills were stuck all over that tree, and there was a note which read: "I owe you eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin." Marvin, my first son, kept his promise. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen-foot bed (花坛,花圃) for me. My other children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone (踏脚石) and gardening books. We built a garden together. That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, and just what I"d always wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels as if they were right there with me. When I think about what my children have done for me, I get tears in my eyes every time. I"m still not sure whether money grows on trees. But I know love does! | 1. Why had the author never had a flower garden before? | A. Because she had five children to take care of. B. Because she didn"t have enough time and money. C. Because her children wanted expensive things. D. Because her children were going to high school and college. | 2. Who helped the author build the garden at last? | A. Her neighbor. B. Her first son. C. Her husband. D. Her five children. | 3. Why doesn"t she miss her children as much as she once did? | A. Because she has a big money tree. B. Because she has a very pretty garden. C. Because she feels the love of her children in the garden. D. Because she is busy weeding or tending her flowers. | 4. Which of the flowing statements is correct, based on the passage? | A. Money grows on trees only if you plant them with love. B. The author built a pretty garden after her children had graduated from school. C. The author actually wanted to have money grow on trees. D.The children loved their mother so much that they helped her realize her dream. | 5. The purpose of this passage is to tell us_________. | A. how to grow you own money tree B. the story of pretty garden C. the story of a money tree D. a story of the love between a mother and her children | 完形填空。 | "This Friday we"ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge," said our science teacher, Mr. baker.

And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls. In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city"s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and "to treasure what was there- the walls, the rust, and the light." Yocum said. "Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It"s like an art installation (装置) in there-a slow-motion show." Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond. Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less. | 1. According to the passage, it is _____ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own. | A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. common | 2. Yocum bought the old building because _____. | A. it was a bargain to him B. it was still in good condition C. it was located in the city center D. it looked attractive from the outside | 3. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _____. | A. pulled rubbish out through the roof B. removed the skylights from the bathroom C. presentd a slow-motion show in an art gallery D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building | 4. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____. | A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof B. turned more old buildings into art galleries C. got inspiration from decorating their old building D. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery | 5. The main idea of the passage is that _____. | A. people can learn a lot from their failures B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building C. people should not judge things by their appearance D. creative people can make the best of what they have | 完形填空。 | "Hey, Dad, are you going to come to my award ceremony tonight?"
