D
I have a neighbor we call “Happy”.I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden.They spent many happy hours together working on it.Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden.As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden.As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”.We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didn't know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash.By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter.We shared a lot of stories.By five o'clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer.After dinner, we played games.As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(收成)of the day, already packaged and frozen.What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn't so much about the food.The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company.None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden.And I am so proud of my tomato plants!
1.We can infer that Happy and her husband Ben_______.
A.don't like spending time with others

My neighbor is a old woman who is 70 year old. We both have gardens, but sometimes her garden is covered grass. I think she is too old to taking care of hers. This Saturday, when I was cutting the grass in her garden, I was noticing that she is trying her best to cut her grass. It would take her a few hour to cut the grass unless I didn’t help her. So I decided to help her. She was very gratefully to me. And she gave me some cookies which were tasted delicious.

Today’s workplace is unique in history. Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gender, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.
As a result, companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly, managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization. The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. That is, it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees. In fact, if employers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.
Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful. That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising.
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances (联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, you were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves. Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.
1.According to the experts, employers should realize ______ if they want to avoid anger between employees.
A. the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B. the different views on value of work and working methods
C. the different genders of employees in the workplace
D. the different ways of expressing anger in the company
2.The word “enmity” is closet in meaning to ______.
A. hatred B. sorrows
C. ignorance D. forgiveness
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Employees in some companies regard each other as mere enemies.
B. Employees’ attitudes towards life are related to the time when they grow up.
C. Employees who are raised in a time of scarcity tend to be angry with others.
D. Achieving a harmonious atmosphere in the workplace is the main task for employers.
4.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?
A. Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other.
B. It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way.
C. The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees.
D. The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.
