It wasn’t a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent（房租）on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.
Sam knew Rosa from the Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money, not this week!
Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Shanghai foods, and the second was a book about women explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be embarrassing to give her second-hand books for her birthday ”
Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better.
The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused（停顿）when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said.
When Sam got home, he checked his email and found this note from Rosa.

Can plants talk Modern study has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insets. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning. or a call for help: “I’m being attacked! When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps（黄蜂）! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sounds to communicate. People can't hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi（真菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will lead how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other, Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
30. What will plants do when they are attacked by insects
A. They will kill the insects by themselves.
B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C. They will send out signals to ask for food.
D. They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
31. How is the wood wide web linked by fungi
A. By making noises with their roots.
B. By spreading chemicals to each other.
C. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
D. By leading to bad effects.
32. What is the writer’s purpose of the last paragraph
A. To give people hope for further studies.
B. To praise scientists for their great achievements.
C. To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D. To encourage people to grow more plants.
33. What is the best title for the passage
A. The secret language of plants
B. The plants that make sounds
C. The study on the wood wide web
D. The study on the wasps

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent（锲而不舍的）action. When you learn your lessons at school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream＞Believe＞Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe) And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired and lose a lot, they say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formulas:
Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act). If you say “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
37. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard
A. Ask people for help. B. Try and keep trying.
C. Get ready to create wonders. D. Prepare for a harder one.
38. The underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 8 most probably means _____.
A. dangers B. difficulties C. imaginations D. wonders
39. Why does the writer use the formula "Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve"
A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it.
C. To show what his goals are D. To discuss the importance of dreams
40. What is the best title of this passage
A. Doing something valuable
B. Studying hard and making progress
C. Realizing dreams with persistent action
D. Separating successful people from dreamers
