Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.
Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy （政策）. However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters （路透社）that without Chinese garlic

When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red"×" through each of my answers. I failed! There must be some mistakes! I wrote down exactly（确切地）what Mr. Harris had said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. Why? "Very simple, "Mr. Harris said, "I made up all that 'birdcat'. But there had never been any such animal. So the information in your notes was not correct. Did you think you would get good grades for that?"
However, we felt that was unfair. What kind of a test was this? And what kind of a teacher was he?
Mr. Harris added, "I have told you many unbelievable things about this animal, such as the size, the color, but none of you have questioned. I hope you will learn something from this lesson.

One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie, my company wants to promote（升职） me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip（跳） a grade, but you'll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said "Yes" but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.
For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything that happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.
During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment. It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.
Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.
My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me. I've learned a lot because of this separation（分离）. There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life. We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.（1）It was __________ for the writer to say "Yes" to her mother s question.
A. excited
B. difficult
C. unusual
D. easy

（3）The writer most probably wants to tell us that __________.
A. how she gets on well with her mother
B. it's difficult for her to make a decision
C. she has learnt a lot from the experience
D. adults have to face the difficult decisions
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：主要介绍了我在小时候与妈妈分开的一段经历，懂得做决定的艰难，理解了妈妈工作的辛苦。

（1）细节理解题。

（2）细节理解题。

根据文中的前面Looking at her large empty apartment看着她那空荡荡的大公寓，可知后面应该是我意识到我母亲在巴西是多么孤独，故答案是C。

（3）细节理解题。

根据文中的最后一段My mother is now back with us．But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me．I've learned a lot because of this
separation．There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life．We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.可知作者从中学到了很多，故答案是C。

Many children today live in unsafe places. They may live where wars have been fought or where there is a lot of crimes. Play for Peace is an organization formed to help these children. It does so by bringing kids and adults. For what? To make a more peaceful world.
Places where Play for Peace works include Northern Ireland, India, and Germany. Kids from different backgrounds come together to play games. Some of the games encourage them to work together and to learn about one another. While playing, kids begin to understand their different ways of thinking and doing things.
As kids in the program get older. Play for Peace teaches them to be leaders. They become advisers. The older kids lead the games for the younger kids.
