37、the antique shops on the third day.CTrees should only be pruned (修剪)when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that

38、more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which

39、will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blockin

40、g up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal （愈合 ）. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live o

41、r die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface

42、 to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference （ 妨碍 ） from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that th

43、e cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.39. Why should pruning be done?A. To make the tree grow taller.B. To improve the shape of the tree.C. To get rid of the small branches.D. To make the small branches thicker.40. Trees become unhealthy

44、 if the gardener .A. helps a wound to dry.B. covers a rough surface.C. damages some of the small side branches.D. allows too many branches to grow in the middle.41. Why is a special material painted on the tree?A. To help a wound to dry.B. To cover a rough surface.C. To prevent disease entering a wo

45、und. D. To make a wound smooth.42. The writer wrote this passageA. to introduce some common knowledge of pruning.B. to discuss different methods of pruning.C. to explain how trees develop disease.D. to give practical instruction for pruning a tree.DPeople born in the winter are more likely to suffer

46、 mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weanin g 断奶）in either" summerlight cycles of 16 hours of light and eight hours of dark or “ wintercy” cles of eight hours of light an

47、d 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day,Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to asummer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three group

48、s, one of which stayed on the 12-hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer subset.After 28 days, it turns out the summer-born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter-born mice, those staye

49、d in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it c

50、ould explain why people born in the winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.“Weknow that the biological clock regulates mood in humans," said study researcher McMahon. "If an imprinting mechanism （运行机

51、制） similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality. 43.
