12、daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house

13、though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants,

14、 Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling. Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didnt plant it

15、and Denise claimed that she didnt either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(茎，杆) and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed

16、around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.Thats when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didnt le

17、t a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(营养) and growth as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and wh

18、at you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.21. We can know from the first paragraph that _.A. the author finished building his home hurriedly B. the authors family have lived in this home for ni

19、ne yearsC. the authors home is made of rock walls D. there is a wall along the sidewalk22. The author found it unusual that_.A. the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower B. the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one headC. the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock D. the Sunflower had sta

20、rted where the stalk was seen23. Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?A. Brave and stubborn. B. Confident and persistent. C. Optimistic and modest. D. Mysterious and devoted.24.What can be inferred from this passage?A. Human beings are able to remove obstacles. B. The universal truth

21、made the sunflower survive.C. A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower. D. We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident.BIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kidsparticularly by givin

22、g instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situation

23、s, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do. Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able

24、to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is

25、 far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.” Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on f

26、irm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown?” The changes are small but difference is obvious. Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so i

27、t pays to be positive.25.Positive choice of words helps kids to _. A. do things carefully B. learn in different situations C. improve their imagination D. build up their confidence26.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ? A. One cant help imagining what is heard. B.

Dont play by the lake. C. How do you think Ill feel if you get hurt? D. Dont you dare to walk through th

29、e red light?28.The main idea of the passage is that _. A. praise makes kids confident B. right instructions keep kids safe C. positive instructions guide kids D. clear commands make kids different CCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people dont even notice that theyre doing it whe

30、n they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for thi

31、s is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You

32、 wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just b

33、elow your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your anklewhat we know as that “pins and needles” sensation.

34、 While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stabi
