In New Jersey, there's a row of houses with a green lawn(草坪) that kids can't enjoy. "It's really frustrating. These lawns are useless to me, "Alice, a suburban mom in New Jersey said. She lives in a beautiful community full of green lawns.

It's the middle of summer, but there are no dandelions in sight. And that's the problem: the lawns are so green because they're full of pesticides, Warning signs urge parents to keep kids off the chemical-laden grass.

Alice says that most lawns and parks in her area are like this. There are plenty of them, but her kids can't play in them. "I just want to let my baby experience the grass," she said. " Also, I'm sure it's not good for animals. The other day, a woman found a dead deer in her backyard. "

In the 1940s, people often mixed clover with grass to keep lawns strong, which benefited the environment. But over the last few decades, pesticides have taken over. In 2012, the world spent $ 56 billion on pesticides. They go into farms, lawns, parks and just about anywhere where humans grow plants. These chemicals keep parks' grass and flowers perfect. They just make them useless as actual parks.

That may be more than just annoying. New research has shown that play is good for kids. It helps them discover the world and learn how to get along with other people. But it's hard to get enough play when there are so few public spaces where kids can play. And the few that exist are often covered in chemicals that make parents uncomfortable.

There are things to take the place of pesticides, like planting a lawn full of clover, Besides, maybe a dandelion here or there isn't the worst thing.

  1. (1) What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
    A . useless B . sad C . beautiful D . hopeful
  2. (2) Why do parents ask their kids to keep off the grass?
    A . To shelter kids from damage. B . To protect the environment. C . To let kids avoid seeing the dead deer. D . To let kids have more time to study.
  3. (3) What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
    A . Clover has been popular all the time. B . The world focuses on building parks. C . Chemicals help crops grow well in the parks. D . Nowadays parks aren't what they used to be.
  4. (4) New research on kids in Paragraph 5 is mentioned to________.
    A . show play is kids' nature B . advise planting more clover C . present chemicals' bad effects on kids D . encourage kids to get on well with others

A

One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and concealed it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge. He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.

Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.

Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.

Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be perspiring (排汗) as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”

“No!” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “No, I must go; let me out.”

A greasy (油腻的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, soaking (浸泡) into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.

Just as his victim darted out the door, the grocer said, “I reckon (估计) the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”

56Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?

A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.

B. Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.

C. Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.

D. Because he didn’t want to pay for it.

57What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?

A. The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.

B. The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.

C. The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.

D. The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.

58What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality?

A. He wanted to make friends with Seth.

B. He wanted to be kind to him.

C. He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.

D. He wanted to sell more of his goods.

59What is the best title of the passage?

A. Great fun     B. The right revenge    C. A fun-loving grocer   D. A foolish customer
