MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE(避难所);I find reflective isolation in it.I have seven children,so our house is a scene of lively confusion.For a long time,I guarded this place of peace and quiet.When the children followed me into the garden,I would hand out chores. “Here:you weed the beans,you water the onions.”Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over,and they would leave me to myself.
Then one day,I was trying to prepare the soil,and I honestly wasn't enjoying my time of peace and loneliness.My 13-year-old son,Josiah,picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team,we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all.I thanked Josiah,realizing that I had enjoyed his company.
The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds —one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate.Each time,I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help,and their laughter made time pass faster.So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets.As spring became summer and the real work began,I expected the children to disappear,but no,there they were, watering,pulling weeds and checking for insects.
One day I slipped out by myself to the garden,feeling a little bit guilty.I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe,and I wanted a taste.As I walked along the row,a little voice piped up behind me.“What are you eating,Mama?”
Abby's big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop(剥出) the peas into her mouth.She just loved how tasty they were.Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame.“Mama,I've got to pick a bunch.Won't the others love them?I can't wait to share.”
I realized how selfish I had been.I'd tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself,and here was a child who couldn't wait to share with her brothers and sisters.I held back tears and said,“Sure,honey,let's pick some and I'll show you how to prepare them.We'll make the most wonderful supper.”

Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal,also known as a predator(捕食者)in nature.The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies.“We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas,but we don't really know why.”says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein.“Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance?Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved?”
To find out,Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species,including mammals,birds,fish and even mollusks.It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry,the animals react in a similar way to life among humans:they lose their anti-predator characteristics.That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species.This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it's intentional,the result of domestication or controlled breeding.But it turns out that urbanization alone results in
高三英语第5页共13页
a similar change,though around three times more slowly.
The main point is:we're essentially domesticating animals by urbanization.We're selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them.If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people,it could be to their benefit.But ifit makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators,it could be a real problem.Either way,these results,mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that evolutionary processes kick in.Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes.We're changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals.If so,serious questions exist for the idea of ethical,welfare-oriented eco-tourism.If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses,the researchers say,we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators.It's just yet one other way that we're changing the world around us.
28.The research led by Blumstein is aimed at
A.determining how animals'survival is impacted by individual plasticity. B.studying how living among humans affects animals'survival strategies C.comparing the effectiveness of different survival techniques
D.finding out which evolutionary factor impacts animals'survival methods
29.Which of the following practices may contribute to animals losing anti-predator characteristics?
A.Controlled breeding of animals. B.Banning the operation of eco-tourism.
C.Planned selection of favorable genes. D.Eliminating domestication. 30.Which of the following statements is Blumstein likely to agree with?

B.Urbanization has brought concrete benefits to animals. C.City living has led to animals'genetic variations.
D.City living has helped to preserve animal species. 31.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To amuse people with recent interesting scientific findings. 高三英语第6页共13页
B.To remind people to help animals survive in a correct way.
C.To promote eco-tourism in cities around the world.

When evaluating people on various psychological tests,psychologists often distinguish between markers of absolute performance and relative performance.Absolute performance reflects the raw measurement of something,like the time it takes to run a mile.Relative
performance is how a person rates in relation to their peers,as in what place a runner gets in a race.
The standards we use to evaluate ourselves are almost always relative,as we compare ourselves to our peers and the standards that are most familiar to us.Our conscious recognition of these peers and norms is what sets our expectations,shaping our self-image and happiness. What's interesting about the relative comparisons that most of us make is that in whatever area of life we consider—for example,our highest level of education—it's not how we fare(成功) in comparison to the rest of the world that seems to matter most,but rather how we compare to our closest peers.
For instance,in my private practice,I have one patient I will call“Omar”who is dependent on social services and makes less than $30,000 per year at hisjob.While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up depressed each day,Omar is one of the most optimistic and appreciative individuals I know.Why?Because most of his closest peers—his siblings and friends from childhood—have lives far worse than his.
In contrast t Omar,I have another patient,an adolescent I'll call“Lena”,whose family has property over S5 million.Lena,however,lives in an upper-class neighborhood where her family is at the lower end of the income level.Though Lena's family allows her to enjoy possessions and experiences that less than 1 percent of her peers across the world can share, she consistently feels“less than”.Why?Because Lena doesn't compare herself to the rest of the world;this is too abstract an exercise for her,as it would be for most of us.
Accordingly,whether a psychologist is psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral,therapy (疗法)with individuals struggling with situational or psychological depression aims to solve the problems associated with basing one's self-worth on comparisons with others.
