21、acking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.He looked up, smiling. “Im making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprisi

22、ng for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses（番紅花）

23、throughout the front lawn blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?My

24、fathers crocuses bloomed（開花）each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would a

25、sk Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dads birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not

26、unusualmy family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom fr

27、om a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadnt bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.1、According to the firs

31、 kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害動物). Landholding farmers say that the countrys estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australias insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than

32、80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the countrys underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the

33、ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府認可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Globa

34、l brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emi

35、tting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australias fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane w

36、ay of producing red meat.”Opponents(反對者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expa

37、nd by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “Theyve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “Ho

38、w could something thats been here for thousands of years be destroying the country? I dont understand the logic in that.”Can Australians conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)working independently or thr

39、ough wildlife conservancieswould protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests dont have value.”Priv

40、atization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The

41、governments role would be oversight and regulation.1、What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?AKangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.BGlobal brands make small profits on kangaroos.CKangaroos are more friendly to the environment.DOverpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burd
