21、I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about soaking the lettuce stub(残余部分)in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.

On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. This lettuce was not done living! Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug(大杯)，tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope?

If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to skeptically assess where I found myself before committing to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.

Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things.

Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.

I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay(腐败),or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.

【1】Why did the author soak the stub in water?

A．To hope that it would grow.

B．To decorate the nice mug.

C．To conduct an experiment.

D．To remove his bad mood.

【2】What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes?

A．The remaining stub.

B．The small leaf.

C．The disappearing cuts.

D．The tiny root threads.

【3】How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation?

A．Hesitant.

B．Fearless.

C．Aimless.

D．Annoyed.

【4】What can we learn from Monty?

A．Enjoying your own life to the fullest.

B．Believing in yourself when in trouble.

C．Never being afraid to restart yourself.

D．Giving freedom to the heart in a way.

22、   Forests in countries like Brazil and the Congo get a lot of attention from environmentalists, and it is easy to see why South America and sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing a loss of forest on a large scale: every year almost 5 million hectares （公顷） are lost. But forests are also changing in rich Western countries. They are growing larger, both in the sense that they occupy more and that the trees in them and bigger. What is going on?

Forests are spreading in almost all Western countries, with fastest growth in places that historically had rather few trees. In 1990 28% of Spain was forests; now the proportion is 37%. In both Greece and Italy, the growth was from 26% to 32% over the same period. Forests are gradually taking more and in America and Australia. Perhaps most astonishing is the trend in Ireland. Roughly 1% of that country was forested when it became independent in 1922. Forests cover 11% of the land, and the government wants to push the proportion to 18% by the 2040s.

Two things are fertilizing this growth. The first is the abandonment of farmland,especially in high, dry places where nothing grows terribly well. When farmers give up trying to earn a living from farming or herding trees simply move in. The second is government policy and subsidy（补贴）. Throughout history,governments have protected and promoted forests for diverse reasons, ranging from the need for wooden warships to a desire to promote suburban house-building. Nowadays forests are increasingly welcome because they suck in carbon pollution from the air. The justification change; desire for more trees remains constant.

The greening of the West does not delight everyone. Farmers complain that land is being taken out of use by generously subsidized tree plantations. Parts of Spain and Portugal suffer from terrible forest fires. Others simply dislike the appearance of forests planted in neat rows. They will have to get used to the trees, however. The growth of Western forests seems almost as unstoppable as deforestation elsewhere.

【1】What is catching environmentalist's attention nowadays?

A．Rich countries are robbing poor ones of their resources.

B．Forests are fast shrinking in many developing countries.

C．Forests are eating away the fertile farmland worldwide.

D．Rich countries are doing little to address deforestation.

【2】Which countries have the fastest forest growth?

A．Those that have newly achieved independence.

B．Those that have the greatest demand for timber.

C．Those that used to have the lowest forest coverage.

D．Those that provide enormous government subsidies.

【3】What account for our increasing desire for forests?

A．Their unique scenic beauty.

B．Their use as fruit plantation.

C．Their capability of improving air quality.

D．Their stable supply of building materials.

【4】What does the author conclude about the future of forestation?

A．Deserts in sub-Saharan Africa will decrease gradually.

B．It will play a more and more important role in people's lives.

C．Forests destruction in the developing world will quickly slow down.

D．Developed and developing countries are moving in opposite direction.
