• 2．An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow in my small town in the mountains.Schools were canceled，roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still，I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.The snow got all over my shoes.The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes.My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation（预想）of the shoveling（铲雪）I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
     Yet，when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground，I couldn't help but smile a bit.It was so beautiful.It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass.In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow on the road，the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside，enjoying their way off from school.
     The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.I remembered catching snowflakes（雪花）on my tongue，building snowmen，making snow angles，running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children.Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore.I turned up my head，stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it.It tasted so fresh and clean.It tasted like youth，like joy and like love.
     May you always feel young in spirit，no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children.And may you always give your love，your light，your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.

  B．I didn't want to start my day on such a snowy day.
  C．my back would ache upon thinking of cleaning up the snow.
  D．the snow didn't stop and I felt too cold.
  （3）From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow？

• 3．Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar （花蜜）.But their flight plans actually do have a pattern.Flowers act as the insects' air-traffic controllers.And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren't too flashy.
     Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer.Those clues can be in the color of petals，in the type，in the smell or even in the electrical charge.All of these characteristics send signals to the bees，telling them whether to land or not，among which the colors play the most significant role.The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar.They then visit more flowers of that color.
     However，color can't guarantee bees a good meal.It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals.A yellow follower，for example，may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another.Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England.Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar，bees behave differently in searching for nectar.They started to guess that the strength of petals' indescence （色彩斑斓） might be related to how bees find the petals.
     Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab.In their experiment，they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent.The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology.
     "At first glance，it's very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily，"says Klaus Lunau，a biologist in Germany，who was not involved in the study.
  
  （1）What can we know about the flight of bees？

  
  A．They usually fly in a regular pattern.
  B．They fly under the direction of flowers.
  C．They usually fly without any purpose.
  D．They fly to some very flashy flowers.
  （2）What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar？

  
  A．The petals' type.
  B．The followers' smell.
  C．The followers' electrical charge.
  D．The petals' color.
  （3）What does the underlined word "hypothesis" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Discussion.
  B．Method.
  C．Assumption.
  D．Invention
  （4）What is the new finding of the team？

  
  A．Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.
  B．Petals of different color usually give different signals.
  C．Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.
  D．Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.
