At that age, I always did something 45 to whatever my parents did! If gardening was something they found 46 , I would plant a garden! I planted some lily（百合花）seeds under the ground.

One by one, the flowers bloomed their heads off. 49 , I was touched by this land of wonder.
50 , my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even 51 at me because he found it was 52 to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother?s 53 , I put in her vase my real roses which, in her eyes, were simply weeds (杂草) 54 flowers.
Not caring about their 55 , I kept on planting my garden and 56 to enjoy the pleasure of gardening. Plants make such good companions: they breathe, they bloom, they 57 to care and love.

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do some market research first. This is a lesson that some large American corporations have learned the hard way.
What’s in the name?
Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesn?t go”. Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translation problems
Sometimes it is the slogan that doesn?t work. No company knows this better than Pepsi-Cola, with its “Come alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States, Pepsi translated its slogan literally for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations weren?t quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to “Come out of the grave (坟墓)” and telling the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.”
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Other times, the problem involves packaging. A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for many people there can?t read.
Twist of fate
Even the culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn McAn shoes have a Thorn McAn “signature” inside. To people in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim country, this signature looked like Arabic script for the word Allah. In that country, feet are considered unclean, and Muslims felt the company was offending God?s name by having people walk on it. 61. From the text we learned that _________. A. Chevy Nova was brought in Latin America
B. General Motors did the best market research of all companies
C. Pepsi still sold well in China owing to the translation problems
D. the “Come alive with Pepsi” campaign worked well in the US 62. What was “Gerber?s problem”? A. A translation problem B. Cultural factor C. Religious factor D. The picture on the jar 63. For what reason were Thorn McAn shoes turned down in Bangladesh? A. They are not designed attractively B. Their advertisements are not persuasive
C. A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes D. Problem for Thorn McAn was the company?s name 64. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Lessons from some large corporations. B. How to make use of advertisements C. The importance of market research D. The importance of packaging
