[A]

My mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around, you will find her planting, watering and weeding over everything. 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 plentiful 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(布置)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 a small vase(花瓶).

I was so embarrassed(尴尬的).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 skimpy 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. 21．According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE?

Children today are crazy about roller skating（溜冰）, for it's easy and fun. After supper on week days, anytime on weekends and especially any day in school holidays, so many roller skaters flow into streets, squares, parks and playgrounds. What a beautiful sight!

But a long time ago, roller skating was a different story. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin，whose work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked playing the violin. Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. Very pleased and a little excited, he accepted it. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think hard how to make an impressive entrance at the party. A strange idea struck him one day—he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

He tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Very proud of his invention, he couldn't wait for the special day to come, when he would arrive at the party on wheels while playing the violin.

On the night of the party Merlin did as he had planned, rolling into the room

playing his violin. Quite astonished，all present cast their eyes over him. Then, unexpectedly, came one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!

Sure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.

“But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.

In fact, kids who get a long with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.

As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.

28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.

A. how to get along well with others

B. the importance of a good relation with teachers

C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers

D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant

29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.

A. learning becomes easier for you at once

B. you find an opening to learning

C. there'll be more problems with learning

D. there'll be no problems at all with learning

30．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.

B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.

C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.

D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.

31．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?

A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.

B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.

C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.

D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.

The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.

Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial（皇室的）family being a good example, have hereditary (遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born.

Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture (produce)
