Directions:Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of writing on the beach before he began his work.
One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”
The young man paused, looking up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.”
“But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will get through the strength of our images the power to shape the future.
All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog.
For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment (环境) limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.
The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.
One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.
It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small. Some of the best suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.
