【正文】 1D)When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child. 114. (20xx1E) ―Soon, you’re going to have to move out!‖ cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. 115. (20xx1E)One tiny 9inch plant, bought for $ in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. 116. (20xx1E)Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. 117. (20xx1E)It was the space available（可用的） in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. 118. (20xx1E)The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing（施肥） have turned the little plant into a tall bush. 119. (20xx1E)The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves. 120. (20xx1E)I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw（縮回） my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. 121.(20xx2A) She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. 122.(20xx2A)As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into. 123.(20xx2B)The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. 124.(20xx2B) But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers（生育高峰期出生的人） , and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old. 125.(20xx2B) If you take into consideration feminism（女權(quán)主義） , a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable 126.(20xx2C) Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even clever cheat（詐騙） . 127.(20xx2C)What at first seemed like the work of a clever stayathome car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind — one that avoids（避免） not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. 128.(20xx2C)Also, the amount of money demanded — under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars — seems too little for a car worth many times more. 129.(20xx2D) rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤離） of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. 130.(20xx2D) As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water. 131.(20xx2D)Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. 132.(20xx2D)Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng)的氣體排放） , which are a main cause of global warming 133.(20xx2D)By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years, 134.(20xx2D)Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an ―endangered nation‖. 135.(20xx2E) She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like ―improved nuclear fusion（核聚變） ‖ — never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means. 136.(20xx2E)But my children got the mistaken idea in school that science is difficult, dull and has no relation to their everyday interests. 137.(20xx2E) Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science. 138.(20xx1A) It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired. 139.(20xx1B) And the tale behind the construction is just as impressive（印象深刻的） as the building itself. 140.(20xx1B) As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child number 14, she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out. 141.(20xx1B) And as Mumtaz lay dying, she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial（紀(jì)念物） to celebrate their love. 142.(20xx1B)Though the reason for building the tower was a strange, sad story, those who see its breathtaking beauty are reminded of the happiness that inspiredits construction. 143.(20xx1C)Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kindhearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs 144.(20xx1C)Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful edies like Twins Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. 145.(20xx1C)However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave! 146.(20xx1D) A truly delightful family science magazine, each issue（每期） brings to light new and newsworthy topics to make dinnertime and watercooler conversations interesting. 147.(20xx1D) Every issue contains usable articles such as ―Style Lab‖, in which wearable clothes are mixed and matched on nonmodels and the ―EatRight Road Map‖, with tips on how to eat properly. 148.(20xx1D) The magazine covers the choices people make about their homes, their clothes and their free time activities. 149.(20xx1D) Wired often carries articles on how technology changes people’s lives. 150.(20xx1E) Richard, who worked for a business pany, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job. 151.(20xx1E) We knew it had to be a specialty s
