One night,I was on my way home for my Christmas holiday when my car broke out. It was complete dead,and I was a few miles away from my home in that cold,wet night. I decided to walk around a little after accepting that I'd have to spend the night in the car. Maybe I can find a telephone. Actually,I didn't have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light shone from the sitting room. I knocked at the door was delighted when a pleasant old man opened the door and listened to my story carefully. He said he had no telephone and that it wasn't any within walking distance,but the old man who offered to go to repair my car.

Today's American high school students are far likelier than those in the 1970s to believe they're much more likely to claim they are " straight A” students with high IQs— even though other research shows that today's students do less homework than those in the 1970s. The findings sup?port the idea that the " selfesteem" movement popular among today's parents and teachers may have gone too far.
"What this shows is that confidence has crossed over into overconfidence”，said Jean Twenge,a professor. Twenge stressed that youthful confidence isn't necessarily bad. " Young people have always had some degree of dreamy optimism,and that's probably a good thing. And setting goals for yourself is a good thing. It's just when those goals are wildly unrealistic,then that can cause trouble for everyone."
For example,young people entering the workforce may score well in job interviews if they show selfconfi?dence,but that can quickly sour if a new employer doesn't provide them with the promotions they feel they deserve. "They don't set the right goals for themselves,because they are overconfident―and that's when it blows up in their faces”，Twenge said.
The blame for all this may lie with wellintentioned adults. " These kids didn't raise themselves;they got these ideas from somewhere," Twenge said. With parents handing out endless praise,kids today readily believe they are somehow superior,she said. And teachers aren't blameless,either: high school teachers now give out an "A" grade more easily than those in the 1970s,even though today's high school students report doing less homework than students from that period.
Not everyone interpreted the new findings in the same way,however. Jennifer Crocker is a professor of psychol?ogy. Based on available academic data,today's young Americans might be right to be more selfconfident. "The fact is that we are all getting smarter―IQ is going up quite dramatically over this same period of time," Crocker noted. "Students may believe that they are getting trained better than they used to,and that they are learning skills that they didn't use to have."
23. Why does Twenge worry about overconfident teenag?ers?
A. Because they don't do homework any more.
B. Because the real world doesn't always meet their expectations.
C. Because their parents don't support the " selfesteem" movement.
D. Because their teachers expect the best performance from them.
24. What causes teenagers to have too much confidence in themselves?
A. They were born confident in themselves.
B. The students got the confidence from somewhere in the media.
C. Their parents are constant to praise them for their performance.
D. School teachers are reluctant to prize students with an "A" grade.
25. The underlined part "when it blows up in their faces" in Paragraph 3 may mean " ”，
A. when their goals seem more important
B. when they encourage themselves at once
C. when they give up their goals immediately
D. when it suddenly goes wrong
26. Jennifer Crocker seems to think that .
A. it is reasonable for students to be selfconfident
B. students are full of dreams about something unre?alistic
C. the American students have higher TQs than those in other countries
D. teenagers are too ready to believe they are some?how superior

Some plants get so hungry they eat flies,spiders,and even small frogs. What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap (捕蠑草) .It's often sold in museum gift stores,de?partment stores,and even supermarkets. A small plant,it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a contain?er. At the end of its stalks (莖) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (觸發(fā)) hairs. When an insect lands on them,the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meateating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter. Note: Despite any sciencefiction stories (科幻小說) you might have read,no meateating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meateating,only if it does all four of the following： " at?tract,kill,digest,and absorb" some form of insects,including flies,butterflies,and moths. Meateating plants look and act like other green plants―well,most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用) .Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes " meateating" plants different is their bugcatching leaves. They need insects for one reason;nitrogen (氮) .Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain by any other way. Why?
Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. " Meateating" plants can't. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil be?cause of its acidity (酸度) .So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact,nutrientrich soil is poisonous to "meateating" plants. Never fertilize (施肥) them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.
( ) 1. What is a Venus flytrap?
A. It is a small plant which grows in a container.
B. It grows 6-8 inches tall.
C. It can attract,kill,digest and absorb some form of insects.
D. It is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily.
( ) 2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It is the bugcatch leaves make Venus flytrap different from other plants.
B. All green plants get nitrogen from the soil.
C. " Meateating" plants are found on every continent.
D. Some "meateating" plants in the world do danger to humans.
( ) 3. Why does the writer say "Never fertilize ' meateating' plants?"
A. Though growing slowly,they don't need nitrogen.
B. Probably because the source of nitrogen is adequate.
C. Simply because the nutrientrich soil will do harm to them.
D. Perhaps they can get fertilize by themselves.
( ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Meateating Plant Does No Danger to Humans
B. Let These Plants Swat (重擊) the Bugs for You
C. No Need to Fertilize Meateating Plants
D. No Insects,No "Meateating" Plants
