四、阅读理解(共15小题：每题3分，共45分。) 阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。

A 

    My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard and a“rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt a if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers.Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to add some color to the area. 

    Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. 

    Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant , it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed(除草)around  it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.   If a tiny little sunflower didn’t a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. 

    We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks”in order to realize our goals.

36.why did the family plant flowers in the ““rock garden”? 

A. To attract visitors. 

B. To remove the rocks. 

C. To please their neighbors. 

D. To make the area colorful. 

37. The author let the tiny plant continue growing        . 

A. to see how long it could live 

B. to see how big it could grow
