My mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around, you will find her planting and watering flowers. For many years we lived next door to each other, and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own. After the flowers became rich each summer, she would cut colorful bouquets (花束) to enjoy inside the house—both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table.

Shortly before Christmas one year, a local flower shop offered a bouquet a month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.

After the holidays, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill (装满) a small bottle.

I felt bad about it. However, after we returned home, she began to arrange the flowers she had received. “Mom, I’m sorry.” I told her. “I can’t believe how small that bouquet is.” She looked at me and smiled. “It’s okay,” she said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”

Mom’s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important — when we have too many good things, we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.

Thanks, Mom, for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.

28. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?

A. The writer’s mother usually bought flowers for her daughter.

B. The writer always bought some fresh flowers on her way home.

C. The writer’s mother put fresh flowers on the writer’s coffee table.

D. The writer and her mother shared a beautiful garden.

29. Why did the writer buy her mother flowers?

A. She wanted to celebrate the coming Christmas.

B. She expressed (表达) thanks for what her mother had done.

C. She decided to arrange her mother’s new house.

D. She brought more flowers to her mother’s garden.

30. What did the writer learn from her mother?

A. How to grow flowers. B. How to arrange flowers.

C

Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the country and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a country, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that country. Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock (摇滚乐) stars—the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are involved with drugs (毒品) and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should look for more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes. A second type of hero for the American young people is the sports stars. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports stars is a bit of a mess. Drugs and drinking are usually a part of life of the sports stars. A third type of hero is the TV or movie stars. These persons may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad, and they should not be held up as a model for young people. Today, the rock star, the sports stars, and the actor all have become the models of the young people in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to learn from their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited (限定) only to rock stars, the sports stars and actors, the future does not look too bright.

31. From the passage, we know that the American young people will not admire _______.

A. a college researcher B. a popular singer

C. a football player D. a film actor

32. According to the writer, people should admire those _______.

A. who are rich and wear the latest fashionable clothes

B. who can express people’s feelings

C. whose personal life is good

D. who work in the interests of the people

33. How does the writer feel about the American young people’s admiration?

A. He understands it. B. He is worried about it.

C. He is angry about it. D. He is uninterested in it.

D

There are more than 100 million cars in the United States. A car travels less than 15 miles from each gallon (加仑) of gas (汽油). It travels about 10,000 miles each year. In that time, it uses about 650 gallons of gas. In all, cars use up about 70 billion (十亿) gallons of gas a year. That comes out to be 4.5 million barrels (桶) a day.

The importance of saving gas cannot be stressed too much. Let’s say, the fuel (燃料) used by each car could be cut back just 15%. This could be done by making fewer trips each day. It could be done by keeping the cars in good shape. It could be done through better driving habits. If these were done, the country’s use of fuel would fall by close to two-thirds of a million barrels per day.

Everyone can help to save gas. One way is to take buses. Some could walk to work. Others could ride their bikes. Another way is to share a ride. People could share cars. About one-third of all cars are used for going to and from work. You can go shopping with a friend from time to time. If two people use a car instead of two, they all save. Driving stress would be less, too, with fewer cars on the road. The savings on gas around the country would come to more than 0.5 million barrels a day. Still another way to save is by cutting out trips one does not need to take. Can you find one car trip per week that could be done by telephone? Can you combine (联合) trips? If each car traveled 10 miles less each week, they could save 3.5 billion gallons of gas a year. This comes to nearly 5% of the total cars need gas.

The way people drive decides how much fuel they save. Careful drivers may get 20% more miles per gallon than other drivers. They control the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit. If just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, a total of 5.5 billion gallons could be saved a year.

34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about a car?

A. A car run a lot more than 10,000 miles with 650 gallons of gas.

B. A car can run 10,000 miles each year with 70 billion gallons of fuel.

C. A car with ten gallons of gas can run more than 150 miles.

D. A car cannot run more than 15 miles with one gallon of gas.

35. The passage tells all of the following facts EXCEPT that _____.

A. driving stress can be greatly reduced by using less gas

B. riding bikes instead of driving is helpful to gas saving

C. sharing a ride or walking to work is another way to save gas

D. keeping one’s car in good shape helps one save gas

36. According to the passage, it is possible to save five percent of the total cars require gas each year, if _____.

A. people all share car-riding instead of owning their own cars

B. two people go shopping in a car from time to time

C. all the cars cut off one trip of 10 miles each week

D. people use telephones instead of driving cars

37. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Drivers should change their driving habits and keep their cars in good shape.

B. Saving gas is important and could be done in several ways.

C. The importance of saving fuel is seldom paid no attention to.

D. People should use fewer cars and make good use of telephones.
