As I often did when 36 to hard la
19、bor in the garden, I suspected this was my parents way of 37 me to do their dirty work. It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb by limb, 38 all that remained of the once-proud specimen was a sorry-looking stump of a thing. “What did
20、 that 39 ever do to you?”, my father said, “You left some taproot (主根), at least. Go and load up the truck.” On any other day before, during the 40 to mumsys, we would have pleasantly 41 school as usual, but I fenced myself off that time. Then, at Mumsys, instead of sitting back to watch me work, he
21、 42 me. As my father and I took turns to work, I could feel my anger 43 , making room for the simple satisfaction of working at my fathers side 44 a common goal. “ Well,” my father said when we 45 , “ weve done what we can do.” “Do you think theres any 46 that it can grow up?” I asked. “Its rich dir
22、t. They say you can 47 toenails in it and grow little kids.” My father answered. I never tried the toenail trick, but I did 48 as it settled in, took root, and began to prosper. I was amazed and 49 when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge. In a 50 fair world, I dont deserve the reward. I had 51 t
23、he tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I put this 52 to my father. Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood 53 . My father took a fig from the 54 and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness.

Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerator, and then assigning them
28、 unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. Specific BenefitsThe IoT will allow people to t
29、rack things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy
30、 price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some fearsSome critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool
31、 at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last years smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or mo
32、re could last two or three due to software thats outdated. A Positive Example Early this year, owner of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “ over the air
33、” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the cars touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!Perhaps Teslas remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, peoples lives might become a lot more
34、efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 56. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. C. By communicating with them all the time through the Io
35、T. D. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. 57. What else do critics worry about the IoT besides its probably ending up being a fashion? A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last years smartphone. B. Refrigerators and washing machines will
36、 be replaced by other devices in a few years. C. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 58. According to the passage, when owners of the Telsa Model S electric received a recall notice, they
37、 _. A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update. B. were required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairs. C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed. D. had to confirm the update with the help o
38、f the equipment provided by the company. BThe new Swedish gender-neutral (性别中立的) word “hen” was introduced at two Stockholm nurseries in 2012. It is used for describing either male or female, or someone not wanting to be described with those terms. Today “hen” is frequently used by Swedish children
39、and adults alike. Now other European countries are joining the gender-neutrality trend.“Fourteen major retailers(零售商) have made changes since we started our campaign almost two years ago,” reports Tricia Lowther, a mother-of-one in northern England and a member of the Let Toys Be Toys initiative, wh
40、ich lobbies for gender-neutral toy aisles. “Theyve taken down boys and girls signs. The blue and pink aisles remain, but things are happening.” The retailers doing away with boys and girls toy signs are major ones indeed: Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Boots. Marks & Spencer has gone even further, ma
41、king its toy labelling gender-neutral. In the efforts to achieve gender equality in the children world, no country has gone as far as Sweden. The nurseries that first introduced “hen” still use it, and others have joined them. “All children should be able to wear what they want. Dresses are not just
42、 for girls. And pink is a beautiful colour that should be available to everybody,” says Maria Hulth of a gender equality consulting firm. “Sweden is really the pioneer,” says Lann Hornscheidt, a professor of gender studies. “No other country has made such an effort to break down gender barriers amon
43、g children.” Though there are no official statistics regarding the number of Swedish nurseries using “hen”, Maria Hulth notes that individual teachers now often opt to use “hen” even when its not the nurserys policy. But, she notes, “Swedish nurseries and primary schools gender-neutral efforts dont
44、end at the neutral word. Theyre putting a lot of effort into avoiding words like boys and girls, instead just saying children. To its supporters, Swedens nursery world of “hen” and pink-for-all is a civil rights heaven. But, Dr David Eberhard argues that a new word wont change the fact that the vast
45、 majority of peopleidentify either as men or women. “Whatever you choose to call people, the biological differences between men and women remain,” he notes. “We should treat each other with respect, but ignoring biological gender differences is crazy. Making us the same wont create more equality.” He thinks boys should be allowed to play with dolls and girls with
