A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her.She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up.She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high Soon the three pots came to a boil.In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans.He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire.He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl.He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl.Then he ladled（盛）the coffee out and placed it in a cup.Turning to her he asked.“Darling what do you see?”

“Carrots, eggs, and coffee.”she replied.

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.She did and noted that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled ege. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee.She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma（芳香）.

Humbly, she asked.“What does it mean Father?”

He explained.“Each of them faced the same adversity,however each reacted differently.The carrot went in strong, hard.But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak.The egg was fragile.A thin outer shell protected a liquid center.But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The coffee beans are unique however.After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water”

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.

They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.

Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.

The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

1.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.

A. find out the living conditions for squirrels

B. do something to get rid of squirrels

C. save the forests in the American state of Indiana

D. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut trees

2. The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.

A. the way they store the walnuts

B. the way they gather the walnut

C. the number of the nuts they can collect

D. the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory

3. When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.

A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels

B. nuts above the ground will not develop into plants

C. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights

D. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest

4.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.

B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.

C. Human beings should bear some responsibility for the decreasing number of gray squirrels.

D. The cleaning of forest land benefits gray squirrels directly.
