children.His attitudedidnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I camehome.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met mez even in severeweather.If I grumbled,hed say in his loudest father-voice,Thats what your legs are for!The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and countryroads.I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety.But thatfeeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.Whenthe bus reached the stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned offthe highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedgebecause it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come intoview when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my fathers head.Then I knew,each time Idcome home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.Iswallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enoughto watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my fathersitting innocently in his chair.Z/So!My son,its you!hed say,his face lengthening into pretendedsurprise.I replied,“Yes,Dad,its me.Im home.”21.What does the underlined word“grumbled“in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Accepted happily.B.Explained clearly.C.Agreed willingly.D.Spoke unhappily.22.What made the author feel upset was.A.the tiredness after long hours in labsB.the fear of seeing something movingC.the feeling of being less than valuedD.the loneliness of riding the bus home23.The authors father watched behind the hedge b e c a u s e.A.he was concerned about his sons safetyB.he wanted to help his son build up courageC.he didnt want to meet his son

thecourse and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect withanimals than with people,because animals dont judge them.They trust animals in ways they dontwith humans.Yet,they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another.Many admit that their ownanimal behavior is what got them into trouble in the first place.I teach that though there iscompetition and aggression in the animal kingdom,there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）andsympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships,and they find that the class helps them.Iuse examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model fordeveloping and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for theirown good and also for the good of the group.Its clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope.I know some studentshave gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations.One went on toreceive a master/s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise wouldnot have done.It opens the door to understanding,trust,cooperation and hope.Theres a largepopulation of people to whom science could mean a lot,if only they could have access to it.Theclass helps me,too.I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25.The authors course is welcomed by the prisoners b e c a u s e.A.they consider animals their best friendsB.they are curious about animal kingdomC.they feel it easier to get along with animalsD.they are more familiar with animal behaviorThe author used wolves as an example to.A.provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB.explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC.help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD.inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble27.We can infer from the text that some p r i s o n e r s.A.have turned over a new leafB.are required to attend the courseC.are willing to learn working skillsD.prefer humane education to scienceCMelbourne,AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination,and its easy to see why with its beautiful beaches andbusy city life.Why its a great choice:Australia as a whole is
