2、Questions are based on the following passage.
People have been passionate about roses since the beginning of time．In fact, it is said that the floors of Cleopatral's palace were carpeted with delicate rose petals, and that the wise and knowing Confucius had a 600-book library specifically on how to care for roses.
The rose is a legend on its own．The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was an incredibly beautiful maiden named Rhodanthe．Her beauty drew many zealous suitors who pursued her relentlessly.
Exhausted by their pursuit, Rhodanthe was forced to take refuge from her suitors in the temple of her friend Diana．Unfortunately, Diana became jealous．And when the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns.
In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers．It was just a lifeless seed of a nymph that Chloris found one day in a clearing in the woods．She asked the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who gave her beauty．Dionysus, the god of wine, added nectar to give her a sweet scent, and the three Graces gave her charm, brightness and joy．Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and made this flower bloom．And so the Rose was born and was immediately crowned the Queen of Flowers.
The first true primary red rose seen in Europe was "Slater's Crimson China" introduced in 1792 from China, where it had been growing wild in the mountains．Immediately, rose breeders began using it to hybridize red roses for cultivation．Ever since, the quest for the perfect red rose has been the Holy Grail of rosarians: a fragrant, disease-resistant, long-lasting, long-stemmed, reblooming, perfectly formed rose with a clear non-fading vivid red color．Absolute perfection still hasn't been attained, and of course never will!
There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly．In the mid 18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople described this in her letters, which were published after her death．These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each describing the secret message hidden in each flower.
A red rose bud stands for budding desire; an open white rose asks "Will you love me?" An open red rose means "I'm full of love and desire", while an open yellow rose asks "Don't you love me any more?"
A good example of being passionate about roses is
A．the legend of the rose
B．Confucius's books on roses
C．the story about Rhodanthe
D．the Greek goddess of flowers


3、 Which of the following is Brown's finding?

4、Questions are based on the following passage.
The idea of public works projects as a device to prevent or control depression was designed as means of creating job opportunities for unemployed workers and as a "pump priming" device to aid business to revive. It was conceived during the early year as of the New Deal Era (1933-1937). By 1933, the number of unemployed workers had reached about 13 million. This meant that about 50 million people--about one third of the nation--were without means of support. At first, direct relief in the form of cash or food was provided for these people. This made them recipients (接受者) of government charity. In order to remove this stigma (耻辱)and restore to the unemployed some measure of respectability and human dignity, a plan was devised to create governmentally sponsored work projects that private industry would not or could not provide. This would also stimulate production and revive business activity.
The best way to explain how this procedure is expected to work is to explain how it actually worked when it was first tried. The first experiment with it was the creation of the Works Project Administration (WPA).
This agency set up work projects in various fields in which there were many unemployed. For example,unemployed actors were organized into theater projects; orchestras were organized for unemployed musicians,teaching projects for unemployed teachers, and even writers' projects for unemployed writers. Unemployed laborers were put to building work or maintaining roads, parks, playgrounds, or public buildings. These were all temporary "work relief" projects rather than permanent work opportunities.
More substantial work projects of a permanent nature were organized by another agency, the Public Works Administration(PWA). This agency undertook the planning of construction of schools, houses, post offices, dams, and other public structures. It entered into contracts with private construction firms to erect them, or it loaned money to local or state governments which undertook their construction. This created many jobs in the factories producing the material as well as in the projects themselves, and greatly reduced the number of the unemployed.
Still another agency which provided work projects for the unemployed was the Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC．. This agency provided job opportunities for youths aged 16 to 20 to work in national parks or forests clearing land, guarding against fires, building roads, or doing other conservation work. In the event of a future depression, the federal government might revive any or all of the above methods to relieve unemployment and stimulate business.
It was at the beginning of the New Deal Era that public works projects__________.
A．were ignored by most American socialists
B．proved its advantages over other plans
C．were given a serious consideration
D．were put into use immediately
