I have a friend named Monty Roberts who ...

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.” It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”

That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.”

He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class.”

1.Why can the writer use Roberts's house to raise money for youth at risk programs?

A. Because they are good friends.

B. Because the youth has the same dream as Monty Roberts.

C.Because Monty Roberts has a poor childhood.

D. Because Monty Roberts like to help youth.

2.What do you think of Monty Koberts' goal of a horse ranch at that time?

3.What would happen after the teacher gave a note "See me after class.”?

B. The teacher would criticize him.

C. The teacher wanted to tell him that his dream would come true.

D. The teacher would encourage him.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, squirrels,  for example,  have been busy gathering nuts from trees.    1.

They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana.  The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃)trees. 2.  The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico.  The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way.  Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.    3.  So some nuts remain in the ground.  Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.  Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.

4.   But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture.  Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees.  They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade(涌入)Indiana.  5.

A. Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.

B. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.

C. Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way.

D. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.

E. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

F. Scientists are  worried  that they will drive away the gray squirrels.

G. Well, scientists have been  busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.
