Ⅳ.阅读理解
Today we are going to talk about the expression:A rolling stone gathers no moss (苔藓).Most of you probably know that a stone is the same thing as a rock.But what about moss?
Moss is a very soft,green plant.It has very small leaves and does not flower.It loves shade and water,so moss grows well on wet ground,trees and rocks.In fact,rocks and stones that line shady creeks (小溪) and rivers are often mossy.Moss grows slowly and is a rootless plant.It spreads well over non-moving surfaces.In fact,to prevent moss from growing on stones in your garden,you can just move the rocks around,turning them over now and then.
Why?Just as the saying goes,“A rolling stone gathers no moss.” Writer Shelley Gollust explained that the saying can be understood in a couple of ways.It can mean that a person who never settles down in one place will not gather wealth or long-lasting relationships.The moss that slowly spreads across the rock represents the money and friends we make over time.
But there is another way we use this expression.Think about a rolling stone.It leads a carefree life,on the move with no moss to worry about.People who are “rolling stones” live without the restrictions that come with responsibilities.They go anywhere anytime they want.And they don’t stay anywhere long enough to form attachments (爱恋).A free spirit is also a term we use to describe such a person.They are not tied down with lots of traditional responsibilities.
A rolling stone could also be described as “nomadic (游牧的)”.Experts at the Merriam-Webster online dictionary define (下定义) a nomad as “a member of a group of people who move from place to place”.Often nomads move around to find food.However,these days we can use the word “nomadic” to describe anyone who moves around a lot.
1.What can we know about moss from paragraph 2?
A.It is a soft plant that grows on rolling stones.
B.It is a special plant that can grow in deep rivers.
C.It is a green plant that spreads over wet surfaces.
D.It is a rootless plant that can flower in your garden.
2.Who can be described as “a rolling stone”?
A.A man who lives a free life.
B.A man who has lots of friends.
C.A man who loves moving rocks.
D.A man who is responsible for his family.
3.What does the underlined word “restrictions” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Difficulties. B.Purposes.
C.Achievements. D.Limits.
4.In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A.Language. B.Science.
C.Nature. D.History.
