They can make the trees more beautiful and healthier. But sometimes wed better leave the trees to grow in their own way. Because the inexperienced gardeners will damage(毁坏) the trees.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees in good shape or size. Maybe people want to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches. Then people can make the trees appearance thick or give it a special shape.Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead branches. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up (封闭)the center and so stopping the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy chance for disease, but the wound will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. Every gardener should try to reduce that danger of death as soon as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, because healing will be slowed down by roughness(粗糙). You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then pain it with one of the special materials. Pruning is usually done in winter, because you can see the shape of the tree clearly and also it is very unlikely(未必的) that the cuts you make will bleed. If this happens, it is impossible to paint them properly(合适地).Pruning treesA good gardener prunes a tree when it is【小题1】【小题2】for pruning treesFirst, make the trees in【小题3】shape or size.Second, make the trees【小题4】One【小题5】of pruning trees.An open wound【小题6】easy【小题7】for disease.Reduce the danger of the trees deathMake the wound【小题8】and clean.The【小题9】of the death of a treePaint the wound【小题10】it dries.When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 4,56 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家）who made the discovery. And because they felt good about themselves，others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47.Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental health scores with their boyhood一activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working-at any age- is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings(基础） of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”20 . What do we know about John?AHe enjoyed his job and marriage.BHe had few childhood playmates.CHe received little love from his family.DHe was admired by others in his childhood.21 . Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 are mentioned as_Aa description of personal values and social valuesBan analysis(分析)of how work was related to competenceCan example for parents expectations of their childrenDan explanation why some boys grew into happy men22 . Vaillants team made some discoveries by_Arecording the boys effort in schoolBjudging the mens mental healthCcomparing different sets of scoresDmeasuring the mens problem solving ability23 . What can we learn from the last paragraph?ACompetent adults know more about love than work.BEmotional health is necessary to a wonderful adult life.CLove brings more joy to people than work does.DIndependence is the key to ones success.One day, Jacks parents told him that his grandpa would retire (退休) after working for forty years.
