He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year.Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.（）31.It was Mr. Flowers‟ hope to ________.A.build glass-houses in his free timeB.grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cupC.win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new colorD.grow a rose with the longest name（）32.Boys were often tempted to ________.A.throw stones at Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houseB.throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their schoolC.be in or near by Mr. Flowers‟ gla ss-housesD.play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses（）33.Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _______.A.at times when school-boys were walking near themB.all the school day when there were no boys aboutC.where he could not be seen by the boys passingD.in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day（）34.Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass.A. be on watch in his free timeB. ask the headmaster for helpC. pick up all the stones around his gardenD. do all the above（）35.Mr. Flowers‟ good idea was to ______.A.write some words on the glassB.put up a large notice to cover his glass-housesC.give the boys something else to throw stones atD.send for policemen(D)In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. (36)____A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. (37)____ He then put these pieces of paper together and made them intoa book.(38)____ We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth.If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.Since it takes more than 10years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.(39)____ We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕)and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags.

Now paper still comes from trees.B. Everyone can help to save paper.C. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.D. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper.E.
