         Most people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜), but some Japanese
    sellers do. There is often wasted space when they store (贮存) watermelons, because round watermelons
    do not sit nicely on shelves. So some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem. They make their
    watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the
    price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each.
         Many people know the saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you". Well, today
    the poem needs to change to "Roses are red, roses are blue"! Australian scientists have just recently discovered
    that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly 100% blue rose. Some
    of science's inventions are beautiful, not just useful!
         Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests. For many years Chinese
    scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new
    kind, called super rice. Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (昆虫) and diseases, but it also
    produces more than any other kind of rice. Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice
    than they could grow in the past.
         Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now. US scientists have discovered a way to put
    a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing. When cancer patients eat the tomatoes, the tomatoes
    will fight the cancer in their bodies. These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale, because scientists
    have not finished testing them. If study finds no problems with the tomatoes, then patients can begin to use
    this easy and delicious new treatment.
    1. Who think that there are some problems with watermelons?
    A. Some Japanese sellers
    B. Some Australian scientists
    C .Some Japanese farmers
    D. Some Chinese scientists
    2. The square watermelons look like ____________.

    3. __________ find a way to make blue roses.
    A. Chinese scientists
    B. Australian scientists

    A. Super rice can keep itself from insects.
    B. Blue roses are more beautiful than red ones.
    C. The tomatoes can fight many kinds of diseases.
    D. The square watermelons cost less than ordinary ones.
    5. The main idea of this passage is __________.
    A. how scientists discover new plants
    B. how science makes plants produce more

         People used to say, "The hand that rocks the crade (摇篮) rules the world," and" 2) Behind every successful man, there's a woman." Both these sayings mean the same thing: Men rule the world, but their wives rule them.
         Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful. But some of them want
    something for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be better paid, they want to be
    as successful as men.
          The American women's liberation movement 1)_________ __________ by the women who don't want to
    stand behind successful men. They don't want to be told that certain jobs of offices are closed to them. They
    refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.
         A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and confidence herself. If somebody says to her.
    "You've come a long way, baby." She'll smile and answer,"Not nearly as far as I'm going to go, baby." This
    moment is quite new, and many American women do not agree. But it has already made some important
    changes in women's lives-in men's lives, too.
