    Jackie Heinricher's love affair with bamboo started in her backyard. "As a child, I remember playing
among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded
really musical."
     A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: she'd plant 20 bamboo forests on their sevenacre farm.
     Heinricher started BooShoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be
known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture,
floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a
group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.
     First she had to find a way to massproduce the plants-a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.
     Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. "People kept telling us we'd
never figure it out," says Heinricher. "Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were
doing, though, so I just kept going."
     She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United
Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable,as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon
emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that's just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments-a way to grow millions of plants. By placing
cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.
     Not long after it, Burr's lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn't prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.
     Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimilliondollar company, working on species from all over
the world and selling them to wholesalers. "If you want to farm bamboo, it's hard to do without the young
plants, and that's what we have," she says proudly.

1. What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?

A. They didn't have enough young bamboo.
B. They were short of money and experience.
C. They didn't have a big enough farm to do it.
D. They were not understood by other people.

2. What does Heinricher think of bamboo?

A. Fragile and affordable.
B. Productive and flexible.
C. Useful and earthfriendly.
D. Strong and profitable.

3. The underlined word "renewable" in Paragraph 6 probably means "________"．

A. able to be replaced naturally
B. able to be raised difficultly
C. able to be shaped easily
D. able to be recycled conveniently

4. What do you learn from the passage?

A. Heinricher's love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.
B. Heinricher's determination helped her to succeed in her work.
C. Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.
D. Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.

     There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers,he used
two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which
had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.
     Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the
path,one on each side,to the flowerbeds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a
full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because
of its holes:before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked along the path.
     Sometimes the new bucket would say,"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener
has me to water the flowers every day!I don't know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of
space you are!"
     And all that the old bucket could say was,"I know I'm not very useful,but I can only do my best.
I'm happy that the gardener still finds  a little bit of use in me,at least."
     One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual,he said,
"You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look
carefully along the path."
     Then the two buckets did so.All along the path,they noticed,on the side where the new bucket
was carried,there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was
carried,there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.

1．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?

A. Dirty.
B. Dark.
C．Wornout.
D．Plainlooking.

2．What was the old bucket ashamed of?

A. His past.
B．His aging.
C. His manner.
D．His leaking.

3．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.

A. laugh at the old one
B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener's kindness

4．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?

A. Because it was used to keep a balance.
B. Because it stayed in its best condition.
C. Because it was taken as a treasure.

     When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
     One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely
shattered mobile home, a depressed expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years
old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching  (紧握)  at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the
camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.
     The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing
interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my
children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our
refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three- year-old Meghan.
     " We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing," I said."We'll share what we have with
them."
     I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.
Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
     While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of
their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games.
     "I'll help you find something for the little girl when I'm done with this," I said.
     The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box
with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her
chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
     "Oh, Honey," I said."You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much."
     Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with held-back tears. '"Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.
Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy, too．"
     Swallowing hard, I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the
lesson she had just taught me. For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their cast-offs away. True
generosity is giving that which you value most.
     Honest benevolence  (善行)  is a three-year-old offering a valuable, though shabby, doll to a little girl
she doesn't know with the hope that it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. I, who had
wanted to teach, had been taught.
     The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He
hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy.
     A slow smile spread across Brett's face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some
of his prized Matchbox cars.
     Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan's gesture meant.
Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.
Taking the cue from my little one, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the
new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did.
     It's easy to give that which we don't want any more, but harder to let go of things we cherish, isn't it?
However, the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart..

1. Why does the author give a detailed description of a particular picture in the Sunday newspaper?

A. To create an atmosphere of fear and depression brought by the tornado.
B. To appeal to unconcerned people to donate for the poor families.
C. To show the helplessness and hopelessness of the family mentioned in the paper.
D. To stress what touched her and made her decide to help the hopeless family.

2. Why did Brad and Brett also donate their favorite things finally?

A. They were encouraged to donate some valuable things by the mother.
B. Meghan's decision inspired them to donate their favorite things.
C. They also wanted to show generosity by giving away their valuable things.
D. Meghan's gesture reminded them to replace their favorite things with new ones.

3. By " swallowing hard", the writer means that _ _ .

A. she was deeply puzzled by what the little girl did
B. she had trouble persuading Meghan not to give away Lucy
C. she was greatly moved by Meghan's unexpected decision
D. she was uncertain what consequences Meghan's action would bring about

A. sincere donation means offering help to others whole-heartedly
B. true giving means giving others what you treasure most
C. true generosity means helping others at the cost of your own benefit
D. honest benevolence means devoting yourself to the career of donation

5. What's the best title for this passage?

A. The Greatest Love
B. A Beautiful Heart
C. True Generosity
D. A Precious Gift

     I believe in miracles because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was
one hundred and two years old. "There's a   1   in my upper jaw," she said. "I told my own dentist it's nothing,
but he   2   I come to see you".
     Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would   3   to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted
to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the   4   of her mouth. A careful
examination later   5   that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
     During her next appointment, I explained to her the   6   of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and
said, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm just   7  ."
     I thought otherwise. After considerable   8   on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted
to   9   me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon. She saw him, but as I expected,  10  treatment.
     About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and  11 .
     "How are you?"I asked.
     "I'm just fine., honey," she responded  12  high spirits. "When can I get stared on fixing my dentures (假牙)?"
     Surprised to see her at all, I answered  13 , "Let me take a look in your mouth and we'll see about it."
     I couldn't believe my eyes. The cancer that had  14  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one
small area of redness  15 .
     I had read of such things happening, but had  16  seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle.
Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting  17  to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me
now. And people are in miracle,  18  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  19  the miracles
of one another.
     Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  20  we choose to find
it.
