On the suburb(郊区) of a town in England, there lived an old man in a nice house with a large garden.  【1】____________ He watered and fertilized(施肥) them.

One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imaging how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. 【2】_____________ He was very surprised about this and asked, “You can’t see these flowers, why do you take notice of them every day?”

24、Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways?

Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, hides its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others hide their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.

As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.

【1】Why are some animals dishonest according to the animal experts?

A．To talk.

B．To survive.

C．To tell jokes.

【2】A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.

A．pretending to be hurt

B．getting closer to its young

C．driving away the adult predator

【3】By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky”, the writer means ________.

A．chimps are ready to attack others

B．chimps are sometimes dishonest

C．chimps envy the winners of the fight

【4】We can know from the passage that ________.

A．all the animals survive by fooling other animals.

B．some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.

C．the losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner’s hand.

【5】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．Do animals lie?

B．How do animals learn to lie?

C．How does honesty help animals survive?

25、If you think GM food sounds far away from you, you are totally wrong. In fact, you may eat GM food every day. Four of every five people in the world are eating GM food, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

According to Xinhua News Agency, in China, the only GM plants that are grown for sale are cotton and papaya. Also, China buys some GM plants from other countries, such as soybeans and corn. The GM plants are used to make other products.
