In late summer or early fall the large, yellow seed heads of sunflowers will be ripening. If gardeners can keep off the birds and other wildlife trying to eat the seeds, they can have a large harvest. The bright yellow blooms will make a rainbow garden, brightening up any space.

However, planting the sunflower seeds is a skilled job. Plant seeds no deeper than the full length of itself. Smaller sized sunflowers can be spaced a foot apart. Larger varieties will need to be spaced as far apart as three feet. This allows ripe plants enough space for the seed heads to ripen without knocking the ripe seeds off before gardeners have a chance to harvest them.

Most sunflower seeds, especially those with eatable seeds, are large enough to handle without the need for seed sorters. This is why sunflowers make an excellent choice for a children's garden as well. Gardeners will want to mix plenty of soil fertilizers into the ground as sunflowers tend to be heavy feeders.

Sunflowers can be slow starters and the tiny new plants don't seem to grow very rapidly. Gardeners should protect the new plants as they begin to grow. Once they get going, sunflowers are able to out-grow many weeds, making them easier to grow in the home vegetable garden than many other plants.

Most pests and diseases are not a bother to the sunflower, however, more than one gardener has said that their lovely looking plants were destroyed overnight by hungry squirrels, mice or birds. To preserve their harvest, gardeners can cover the ripening seed head with stockings or net cloth to help keep the destroyers off the seeds.

Planting sunflower seeds is easy and can help even the smallest gardener feel successful in their gardening attempts.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to plant sunflowers.

B. Different kinds of sunflowers.

C. Ways to preserve sunflowers.

D. Tips on making your garden bright.

2.Why should enough space be left between sunflowers?

A. To prevent birds from eating sunflower seeds.

B. To offer the sunflowers enough sunlight.

C. To protect the ripe seed heads before harvest.

D. To help the sunflowers grow stronger.

3.Why do children love to grow sunflowers in their garden?

A. They want to decorate their garden with sunflowers.

B. The seeds are easy to plant and unnecessary to sort.

C. They want to share their own harvest with their parents.

D. Sunflowers don’t need too much soil fertilizer.

閱讀理解。

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon be totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become attracted in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments.

This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A bookshop is very much like a music shop. You can wander round such a place to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting “Can I help you?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the back ground until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.

Once a medical student had to read a text book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.

1.According to the passage ,the main attraction of a bookshop is ______ .

A. the chance to get free from the reality

B. learning something from the books

C. a shelter from a sudden shower

D. the surrounding of books

2.The writer thinks that the assistant in a bookshop should ______.

A. greet customers pleasantly and warmly

B. not disturb the customers when they read

C. help the readers to find what they want

D. not stay in the background all the time

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅(jiān)忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

1.The writer argued with his son because ___________.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares.

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish.

C. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.

D. he tried to teach his son a lesson but the son had different opinion.

2.Sonny believed that the tortoise ___________.

A. in fact did win the race luckily.

B. took a chance by agreeing to run a race.

C. was not given a fair chance in the race.

D. won the race by his own hard working.

3.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be___________.

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys who Sonny has run races with before

C. boys who Sonny has never raced with before

D. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again

4.According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?

A. The tortoise B. Sonny

C. Sonny’s father D. The hare
