【解析】【主旨大意】本文敘述了一位母親讓她的女兒消滅菜園里害蟲，但是這個女孩卻忘記了，結構害蟲把菜葉都吃光了。這位母親便教育她的女兒，今天事情不能推到明天，小問題不早處理，將來會成為大麻煩的。

1.通過mother和Betty可以推測二者是母女關系，故答案為C。

2.通過下文中的“all the eggs on the leaves”可知這些蟲卵在葉子上。

3.根據(jù)下文中的kill them，可知應該是先發(fā)現(xiàn)它們，再殺死，故答案為A。

4.根據(jù)句意“通過這種方法，你就能幫助我們擁有更好、更綠、更大的蔬菜。”可知答案為B。

5.從句意理解可知她并沒有立刻去做這件事，而后來把這件事給忘記了。

6.從前面句子可以推知，母親病了，沒能到她的花園里干活，故答案為B。

7.固定短語to one’s surprise“使某人驚訝的是”。

8.有短文可知，Betty看到自己犯錯誤的這種情況，是哭了，而不是等待或逃跑。故答案為A。

9.句意：我們永遠不要把今天該做的事情推到明天。故答案為C。

10.句意：在它們還是小事時，你必須學會出來好這些不利的東西，否則它們會成為大麻煩的。or在此句中翻譯為“否則”。
