13、ound in nature. Some bonsai trees have lived for more than 200 years.To begin a bonsai garden you plant a very small tree in a small pot. As it grows, you cut back the roots to keep the tree small. Branches are also cut back or forced to turn in order to form them into a special shape. In this way t
14、he branches can be kept from growing too long.A bonsai tree doesn t grow to be more than 2 fCeeotm. pare this with the largest living sequoia known, the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, which measures 275 feet tall and 103 feet around.

15、en around for millions of years, dinosaurs (恐 龙) may have even rested beneath them.

However, there are certain people that should especially wear sunglasses. Theis is for
19、 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. Accidents like this can be avoided by alw
20、ays having sunglasses in your car.It is very important that parents teach their children 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. Protecting their eyes with
21、sunglasses from the start will recude the damage they will pay for later in life.Even babies can wear sunglasses. A child begins their life by being able to focus on objects only less than the inches from their face. A pair of baby sunglasses will keep harmful rays out of your baby s young, delicate
22、 eyes.Anyone who spends long time in the sun should know the advantages of sunglasses. If you are extremely interested in water sports and spend a lot of time at the beach or on a lake, you could be at greater risk. Water sportsmen like water skiers know how protective sunglasses will save a lifetim
23、e of hardship. The sun reflecting-off (反射) the water into your eyes can increase the damage.

25、sses 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 clo
26、ser 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 tha n wome n at certa in driv ing tasks. However, this slight edge in ability doesn t translate
27、 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 abilit
28、y to make good judgement is a powerful thing. Despite theresearch, scientists point out that it dsifficult to determine whether men are truly born to be better d rivers than women, or if they re simply more confidentin their driving because they re thought to be better, and thus show better skills.
29、Similarly, the traditional view that women are weaker drivers may unfavourably affect (影响) their performance behind the wheel.Women are catching up. which isn t necessarily gso.oMd ennewmay beresponsible for more accidents than women, but the gap (差距)is getting smaller. Today, more women drive than ever before, which has the unfortunate increase in speeding, risky driving, and even death among women.The take-home: Learn from the strengths of both sexes. Drive confidentlyand carefully. And don t forget to wear your seat belt.38.Which of the following is a risk me
