The professor’s house，big and untidy，stood alone at one end of a huge garden.The place was totally uncared for，quite 21 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 22
my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 23 me right on all the 24
that had puzzled me. I was on the 25 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said，“You’re very fond of gardening，I see.”
“No，I’m not，” he said.“ 26 ，I love this garden，though. It’s 27 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 28 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t 29 that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child，and I had 30 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby，you see. Unfortunately，he wasn’t 31 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade（叶片） of grass was an enemy to be 32 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even！”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the 33 it had. It used to 34
me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was 35 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours，you’re just letting it go to... ”
“ 36 ?” he said.“No，I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 37 it grow 38 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 39 at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 40 ，” he laughed.“You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
21. A. wild B. crazy C. large D. nice
22. A. lost B. felt C. took D. made
23. A. let B. put C. taught D. explained
24. A. gardening B. plants C. problems D. solution
25. A. time B. point C. permission D. request
26. A. Even if B. So C. As though D. Even so
27. A. as B. where C. why D. whether
28. A. seems B. is C. proves D. sounds
29. A. recognize B. sense C. see D. know
30. A. fond B. short C. free D. enough

In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools,s urprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. 62 percent of the more individually oriented（强调个性发展的）Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.
Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
45. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ____.
A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parents
B. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction
D. Japan’s higher education is better than theirs
46. Most American respondents believe that preschools should also attach importance to____.
A. problem solving B. group experience
C. parental guidance D. individually oriented development
47. In Japan’s preschools education, the focus is on ____.
A. preparing children’s artistic interests B. developing children’s artistic interests
C. tapping children’s potential D. shaping children’s character
48. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?
A. They can do better in their future studies.
B. They can gain more group experience there.
C. They can be individually oriented when they grows up.
D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.
C
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious（勤勤恳恳的） way you do your job.
You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling—to “play the game”.
“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative（工于心计的） behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University.“But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying（游说）and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behaviors used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P.Lewis,a management psychologist.“But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’ s simple human nature.”
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate
