24、A gentleman once advertised (登广告) for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he chose one in a short time, and sent all the other boys away.

“I would like to know,” said a friend, “on what ground you chose that boy. He didn’t even have a recommendation (推荐信) with him.”

“You are mistaken,” said the gentleman, “he had a great many.”

“He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him, showing that he was orderly (井然有序的).”

“And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside, showing that he was modest (谦逊的).”

“When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean, instead of having some untidy personal habits.”

“Don’t you call these things letters of recommendation? I do, and the things that I can discover about a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, are worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring.”

25、Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major (专业) in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.

J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.

Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United States.

The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.

Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.

【1】______ was a teacher before he (she) became famous.

A. Vincent Van Gogh B. Ronald Reagan

D. Pars 1~2→Pars 3~4→Par 5

26、A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.

We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.

Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.

In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.

They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.

【1】The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.

A. reported B. followed C. doubted D. developed

【2】For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?

①Place the infested plant upwind.

②Place the uninfested plant downwind.

③Expose the downwind plants to the pest.

④Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.

A. ③①②④   B. ③④①② C. ④①②③ D. ④③①②

【3】 You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants.” At the beginning of  ____________.

A. Paragraph 3  B. Paragraph 4    C. Paragraph 5    D. Paragraph 6

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A. Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases

B. Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings

C. Protecting Plants and Clear Information

D. Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals
