第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Flowers make people happy. And while that might em obvious, there hasn’t been much rearch 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 becau humans are so attached to them.
In a test, bunches of flowers were nt 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 cond 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 rve no other purpo than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature won’t even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among ros, there are so many types created by huma
ns that, clearly, flowers aren’t what they ud to be. But it’s likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.
