My sisterinlaw, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. That39。s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. Feel free to take whatever you want, Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn39。t go to waste. A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn39。t mind. Sharon couldn39。t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said no. Oh, but you did, the neighbor said. You had some of the prettiest zucchini I39。ve ever seen. Sharon was confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadn39。t even plated any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were brightgreen zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled, Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning. The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then she smiled, and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighborhood, I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.（1）Why does the author suggest that people in the neighborhood should lock their cars?

Did you really give an honest answer? A recent study shows that people aren39。t totally truthful about their televisionwatching habits. The study in question was conducted at Ball State University in the US. Researchers there wanted to find out how much television people view according to their age. The study was paid for by a council associated with the Nielsen Company, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and puters，but the majority were television screens. There are three interesting things about this study. The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day. The second is that even with access to DVDs and internet videos, television is still the most popular media source. The third is that the amount of screenwatching people do is relatively the same from the ages of 1865. So, if everyone is watching television, why lie about it? Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the study39。s main researchers, says, “There39。s a social stigma for people who watch too much television. Sometimes, however, watching the latest reality show or the funniest sit gives coworkers and friends fun things to talk about.” Even if you do watch a lot of television, perhaps we can use this study as a reason to be honest with ourselves about how much time we spend in front of the television. I mean, after all, everyone else is doing it...（1）Why do people lie about how much TV they watch? A.Because the show they watched is not the latest.B.Because they may be laughed at by coworkers or friends.C.Because they don39。t want others to know what they watched.D.Because there39。s something negative attached to watching too much TV.（2）Which of the following is true according to the study? A.The
