Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer
in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle
to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted,
and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she
would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with
countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a
dancing grandma.
I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She
had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet
lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance.Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights,wonderful parties,beautiful dresses, handsome youn g dance instructors,and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone
with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and
confidence as any Miss American competitor.
Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily
and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest.When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point,
but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen
of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.
24. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?
A. Good health was not there for everyone.
B. She should take dance lessons.
C. She had to struggle to live a better life.
D.She should wear beautiful dresses.
25. Normal grandmas usually ________ in the author's point of view?
A. took dance lessons
B. did some exercises at home
C. took care of grandchildren at home
D. did some housework at home
26. The author felt ______ when he was invited to watch grandma's match.
A. happy
B. proud
C. excited
D. uninterested
27. The text is mainly about _______.
A. my grandma's confidence
B. my dancing grandma
C. my grandma's dancing
D. my grandma's gold cup
C

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good
night ’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that“night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried
milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin,were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the
study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall
asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicate d that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
A. started sleep more easily
B. were more anxious
C. were less active
D. woke up later
33.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A.It ’s been tested on mice for ten years
B.It can make people more energetic
C.It exists in milk in great amount
D.It ’s used in sleeping drugs
34.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Night Milk and Sleep
B. Fat, Sugar and Health
C. An
Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health
35. How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples.
B. By stating arguments.
C. By explaining statistical data.
D. By providing research results.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 . That is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there ’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been suffer ed from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes
people simply can’t trust anymore. 37. It’s understandable,but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
39If you’ ve been betrayed, you are the victim of you r circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a“victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
You didn ’ t lose “ everything ” . Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of
looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and
be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40Instead,I t ’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. I t is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

I ’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of

A
It's never foolish __61_ (acknowledge) you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need
the art of apology. Look back and think how often you've judged_62__(rough), said unkind
things, pushed yourself ahead __63_the cost of a friend. Some deep thought lets us know
that when even a small mistake has been made, your feeling will stay out of balance
_64_ the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, _65_(tell) me about a man who came to him with _66_(vary)
illnesses:headache, insomnia, stomachaches and so on. No physical cause could_67_(find). Finally the doctor said to the man,“Unless you tell me what's on your conscience,I can't
help you. ”
After _68_ short silence, the man told the doctor that he seized all the money that his
father gave to his brother, who was abroad. His father was _69_(die), so only he himself
knew the mat ter. The doctor made the man write to his brother making an apology and
enclosing a check. In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box. As
the letter _70_(disappear), the man burst into tears.“Thank you, doctor，” he said,
“I think I'm all right now.” And he was.

As an old English saying goes,“honesty is the best policy”. It is more than an old
clich é（陈词滥调） , but71good way to live your life.
First,honesty is the72(easy) choice that we can make. Whenpeople get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships can be destroyed by lies.
Second, honesty gives us much73(free).Many people believe that being honest limits them in life,but that is not true.Sooner or later those dishonest people74(pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we
are75(true) free.
If there were two people76(stand)before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person77is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely
78(believe)? I’m su re most people would side with the honest person.Either we live in the truth 79 we live in lies.Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing
but more troubles.Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is80(you). What will you choose?
