A bon sai is a min iature （微型）form of a tree as it might be found in n ature. Some bon sai trees have lived for more tha n 200 years.To beg in a bon sai garde n you pla nt a very small tree in a small pot. As it grows, you cut back the roots to keep the tree small. Bran ches are also cut back or forced to turn in order to form them into a special shape. In this way the bran ches can be kept from grow ing too long.A bonsai tree doesn ' t grow to be more than 2 feet. Compare this with the largest living sequoia known, the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, which measures 275 feet tall and 103 feet around. Nobody ever cut its roots!Because sequoias have bee n around for milli ons of years, dino saurs （恐龙）may have even rested beneath them. Bonsai trees were first created about one thousa nd years ago in China and were in troduced into Japa n two hun dred years later.Would a sequoia make a good bon sai tree? Probably not. Uni ess, of course, you hada few thousa nd years to take care of it!31. What is men tio ned in this text about the sequoia tree?A. It is popular in the world.B. It can be over thirty feet tall.C.

However, there are certa in people that should especially wear sun glasses. Theis is for their safety, and the safety of others.Drivers should always have sunglasse handy. Whether you are driving your own car or a bus full of people, the sun can be your enemy. The rays could cause you not to see the traffic that stopped 50 feet in front of you. Accide nts like this can be avoided by always hav ing sun glasses in your car.It is very importa nt that pare nts teach their childre n from an early age to wear sun glasses. In additi on, you are protect ing very delicate （柔弱的）eyes as well. Children, especially the very young, are growing and developing in every way. Protecti ng their eyes with sun glasses from the start will recude the damage they will pay for later in life.Eve n babies can wear sun glasses. A child beg ins their life by being able to focus on objects only less than the inches from their face. A pair of baby sun glasses will keep harmful rays out of your baby ' s young, delicate eyes.Anyone who spe nds long time in the sun should know the adva ntages of sun glasses. If you are extremely in terested in water sports and spe nd a lot of time at the beach or on a lake, you could be at greater risk. Water sportsme n like water —skiers know how protective sun glasses will save a lifetime of hardship. The sun reflecti ng-off（反射）the water into your eyes can in crease the damage.

Who should wear sun glasses not only for his own good but also for other people ' s good?A. Water-skiers.B. Pare nts.C. Babies.D. Drivers.CAre men better drivers than women? The answer is yes...and no.Men take more risks （风险）.In sutdies, men as a whole are less careful than wome n, such as driv ing at higher speeds and closer to other cars, and not wearing seat belts. They even make risker turns and take less time when park ing.BUT... how some one drives does n ' t n ecessarily equal how well he drives.Men do seem to be better than women at certain driving tasks. However, this slight edge in ability doesn ' t translate into better driving records^ Thds ofaccide nts men get into are gen erally the result of their riskier driv ing. Accordi ng to one study, men are more tha n three times as likely to be ticketed for “riskydriving ”an women, and more than 25 percent as like ly to be at fault in an accide nt.The ability to make good judgement is a powerful thing. Despite theresearch, scientists point out that it ' c§ffi cult to determine whether men are truly born to be better drivers than women, or if they ' re simply more con in their driving because they ' re thought to be better, and thus show better skills. Similarly, the traditional view that women are weaker drivers may unfavourably affect （影响）their performanee behind the wheel.Women are catching up... which isn ' t necessarily gooMeewnay beresponsible for more accidents than women, but the gap （差距）is getting smaller. Today, more wome n drive tha n ever before, which has the unfortun ate in crease in speed in g, risky driv ing, and eve n death among wome n.The take-home: Lear n from the stre ngths of both sexes.
