As they went 22 , they saw lying in the path a pair of old 1 , which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a 24 close by. The student saying, “Lets play the man a 25 : We will hide his shoes, and 2 ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his 27 when he cannot find them.”“ My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 28 ourselves at the 29 of the poor. But you are 3 , and may give yourself a much greater 31 the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and 32 how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes.

And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 2,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated because of their beauty. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bunch of flowers2、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?AWe keep dogs because
