A gray sweater hung limply on Tommy’s empty desk, a reminder of the depressed boy who had just followed his classmates from our third-grade room. Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and disruptive behavior. Neither parent knew that I had invited the other.

Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child's reaction to his loved parent’s separation and divorce?

Tommy's mother entered and took one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be on time. A look of surprise and anger passed between them, and then they pointedly ignored each other.

As I gave a detailed account of Tommy's behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together, to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn't come. Perhaps if they saw one of his spotted, carelessly done papers.

I found a crumpled（压皱的）tear-stained sheet stuffed in the back of his desk, an English paper. Writing covered both sides—not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled（潦草地写） over and over.

Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy's mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for a long time.

At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife's outstretched hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. My own eyes were brimming(湿润的), but neither seemed to notice. He helped her with her coat and they left together.

In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the anguished outpouring（流露） of a small boy's troubled heart.

The words, "Dear Mother ... Dear Daddy ... I love you ... I love you ... I love you."

1. Which of the following word has the closest meaning to the word “disruptive”（Line3,Para.1）  mean?

A. terrible             B. careless           C. cheerful                 D. good

2. What caused Tommy’s failing behavior and schoolwork fundamentally?

A. His parents’ ignorance of his education.

B. His parents’ separation and divorce.

C. His parents’ lacking love to him.

D. His parents’ firm administration to him.

3. What helped Tommy’s parents see their influence on their son?

A．A single sentence on a sheet of paper in his desk.

B．Tear stains on Tommy’s papers.

C．Tommy’s disruptive behavior.

D．A gray sweater.

4. You can infer from the passage that_________.

A. The teacher found suitable words to persuade Tommy’s parents reunite.

B. Tommy’s love to his parents saved their marriage and the whole family.

C. Tommy’s parents scheduled their time to come to school together.

D. A broken family might cause a child’s bad behavior and his shortage of love for others.

Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.

These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.

Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is to have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.

The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.

1.Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes?

A. Because the gardens are important public places.

B. Because they are polluting the city.

C. Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.

D. Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants.

2.What are people doing to get rid of the flying foxes?

A. Shooting them.　　 B. Making loud noises.

C. Shaking the trees hard.　　 D. Cutting some trees down.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?

A. excite　　 B. kill

C. disturb　　 D. discourage

4.What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?

A. The bats will still stay in the gardens.

B. Some other areas will have to deal with the bats.

C. The grey-headed flying fox often eats trees.

D. The damage caused by the bats is serious.
