"Soon,you're going to have to move out!" cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest to?mato 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 sweetsmelling 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 (可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.

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 (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First,I have to find the red ones among the leaves,which means I almost 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 two fullblown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June,but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.

Here I am faced with a painful small decision：To tear up a wonderful and productive toma?to plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind,I'll think about that tomorrow.

   A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

10. In class yesterday,our history teacher asked us                 about the US presidential election (whether)

昨天我们的历史老师在课上问我们是否对美国大选有所了解。

British newspapers are among the oldest and most famous in the world. But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 216 years,The nmes (《泰晤士报》) has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact,the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid.

InBritainthe newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers' pages but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as The Times,The Gwardian(《卫报》) and Daily Telegraph 《每日电讯报》) are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political,economic and international is?sues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language.

Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities' love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain's bestselling newspaper,The Sun,is a tabloid and has a naked (棵体的) girl on page three every?day.

By changing to the size of a tabloid,The Times is following in the footsteps of a less fa?mous broadsheet paper The Independent (《妆：报》) .It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size,the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers.

The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tab?loid,the paper says its new size is "compact"(紧凑型) .

(   ) 5. What is the difference between tabloid and compact?

   A. They have the same size and meaning but different calling.

   B. Tabloid is a kind of smaller paper with short stories,pictures and celebrities' affairs.

   C. Compact is the same kind of paper as its broadsheet with the same contents.

   D. They are in the same size but different contents：popular―serious.

(   ) 6. According to the text,which can best describe the two kinds of papers?

   A. Broadsheets are larger in size while tabloids are smaller.

   B. Tabloids are less serious than broadsheets.

   C. Broadsheets contain more news than tabloids.

   D. They are different in size,content and the style of language.

   C. it intends to follow what The Independent has done

   D. it is unlikely to stay in business if it does not change

Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the " shoulders" he's standing on,the heritage (遗产，继承物) he's been given. That's what happened when a young man,the son of a star baseball player,was drafted by one of the minor league teams. As hard as he tried,his first season was disappointing,and by midseason he expected to be released any day.

The coaches were bewildered (迷惑) by his failure because he possessed all the characteris?tics of a superb athlete,but he couldn't seem to incorporate (组合) those advantages into a coor?dinated (协调的) effort. He seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.

His future seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter's box again and quickly ran up two strikes. The catcher called a timeout and trotted to the pitcher's mound for a conference. While they were busy,the um?pire,standing behind the plate,spoke casually to the boy.

Then play resumed (重新恢复) ，the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning point. From then on,he played the game with a new con?fidence and power that quickly drew the attention of the parent team,and he was called up to the majors.

On the day he was leaving for the city,one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied that it was the encouraging remark the umpire had made that day when his baseball career had seemed doomed.

"He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood behind my dad in the batter's box," the boy explained. "He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he told me, 'I can see his genes in you; you have your father's arms.，After that,whenever I swung the bat,I just imagined I was using Dad's arms instead of my own."

(   ) 5. According to the passage,the greatest trouble to the young man is         .

   A. he was the son of a star baseball player

   B. he had his potential characteristics

   C. he was unable to put his potential into accomplishing something

(   ) 6. Which of the following words can best describe the young man's change?

   A. Encouraging words. B. The characteristics of a superb athlete.

   C. New confidence and power. D. His father's genes.

(   ) 7. What does the underlined word "doomed" refer to?

   A. Changed. B. Destroyed. C. Developed. D. Improved.

(   ) 8. According to the passage,which can best describe the future of the young man?

   A. Taking the encouraging words as his motto,the young man would change his oc?cupation.

   B. Bearing the encouraging words in mind,the young man would have a promising future.

   C. Encouraged by the words,the young man would try no efforts to realize his goals.

   D. Remembering the words,the young man would incorporate his disadvantages.
