When there was a hole in Arguster's jeans，his mother would put a patch on it.However，the hole kept going.It was the naughty kids，Arguster included，that took the jeans out，hung them on a line and shot them to put holes.Aware of that，however，Ben，the father，didn't rebuke them，knowing it might be the only way to bring laughter to his kids.

With a great thrill，Arguster decided to go to fair，where he played games，ate cotton candy…When asked by Ben how much he had spent，with his head down，Arguster replied，"Daddy，I spent it all…" Looking at his messy hair，Ben sighed，"Boy，you spent all your money and haircut's gone up to 75 cents.I'm afraid…" From then on，Arguster always kept enough money to get himself a haircut.

3．Jennifer，a 33-year-old writer，has had more than 110 houseplants since she began collecting in January.Today，they're an essential part of her daily routine.Every morning，she rolls out of bed，heads to the living room and begins a 45-minute tour of all her plants.Even before brushing her teeth or feeding the dog，Jennifer inspects every leaf.
Though she is a little extreme，Jennifer is just one of many plant enthusiasts spending hours a day and thousands of dollars cultivating plant collections in their homes.American gardeners spent a record ＄76.3 billion on garden last year.A quarter of that spending was attributed to people aged 18 to 34，whose spending on plants has grown at a higher rate than any other age group since 2014.
Houseplants should thank social media for their reappearance and growth in popularity.That's how Jennifer was hooked first.Her inability to keep plants alive had always been a running joke.However，while surfing on the Internet，she happened upon an eye-catching photo posted by a plant lover.She followed that account，along with several others over the course of a month or two，and her desire to grow a collection of her own strengthened.Soon，she was fully buried in plant culture.Recently，Jennifer even attended her first local plant swap.
It's no secret that millennials（千禧一代）are delaying major life milestones such as buying homes，getting married and having children，largely for financial reasons. "People are designed for connection and nurturing，but with more millennials waiting until later in life to have babies and settle down，young people are turning to plants，" said Lily Ewing.Plants often require less attention than other living things，such as pets，but still provide the opportunity to nurture something.Plants can provide a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.Ewing added， "Keeping plants around the home or office also allows people to bring nature to their immediate surroundings when it can be hard to find time to get away from the day-to-day busy work and escape to the outdoors."
（1）Which one can best describe Jennifer's behaviour towards houseplants？
A．Reasonably affectionate.
B．Somewhat crazy.
C．Less enthusiastic.
D．Sensibly cautious.
（2）Why is Jennifer mentioned in the passage？
A．To represent the millennials plant enthusiasts.
B．To introduce a writer with special affection for plants.
C．To compare with other gardeners.
D．To show a writer's life with plants.
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A．The functions of social media.
B．Jennifer's inability to keep plants.
C．The reason for Jennifer's desire for plants.
D．The reappearance and growth of plants in popularity.
（4）Why are the millennials crazy about plants？
A．Because they want to get exposed to nature.
B．Because they have enough free time to stay indoors.
C．Because plants bring them nature and help nurture something.
D．Because plants can offer a greater sense of fulfillment than pets.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5

"Why am I different？Why me？Why？" He cried to ask his mother，Lewis Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way，the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart.What made her more sorrowful was that she didn't know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son's questions which she could never find out herself.The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later，Lewis turned on the TV to a news story，where she was shocked to find out the answer.It was Trashaun，an eighth grader，that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe.The 14-year-old sunny boy performed his slam dunks（大灌籃）on the TV，who had been a hit on the Internet.However，like Jayce，he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood!Lewis called her son Jayce in.The poor little boy got spellbound，watching dunk after dunk.
At the time，it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce.He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life.And had it stayed just that，Lewis would have been happy.But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun，asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.
