There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree(松树) saw a red rose nearby and said，“What a beautiful flower！I wish I were that lovely. ”
The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. ”Then the rose looked at a cactus(仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺)！”
“What a proud flower！” thought the tree.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his ne ighbor！”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “Any form of life couldn't be created without a purpose. ”
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks(喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water？” asked the rose.

D
When we first moved here, we didn't have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn't agree on the place. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox(沙坑) in our front yard to
become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space in order that plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence(栅栏) and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared(盯着看) out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised that we fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn't going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later, we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers(甜椒), tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.
()61. When the writer first arrived at her new house, she____.
A. had a large flower garden

B. Because the weather was too cold.
C. Because the garden looked like a mess.
D. Because the kids could dig better ones.
()63. The underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 4 means“____”.
A. stay alive

Ⅸ. 任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
Do you know plants can help people work better? Studies show that keeping plants in workplaces can help people work better.
