She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you.”The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow (寡妇) for 19 years, but my busy work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner.She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.We went to a nice restaurant. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes couldn’t see clearly.“Now, you can relax,” I smiled.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about each other’s life.As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only you let me invite you.” I agreed.A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt (收据) from the same place where my mother and I had dined. There were some words on the receipt saying, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure if I could be there. I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night me ant for me. I love you, my son.”At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time, “I love you.” I know we must give our loved ones the time they deserved(应得), because it shouldn’t be put off until some other time.31. The wife’s suggestion on dating another woman showed ____A. she couldn’t go to see her by herself.B. her husband hadn’t gone to see his mother for quite a timeC. her husband’s mother wanted to have a meal outsideD. her husband’s mother would have a heart attack32.

The man said “Now, you can relax,” to her mother because_______A. the restaurant was very niceB. she seemed to be nervousC. she was ill at the timeD. he would pay for the dinner35. We learn from the reading that ____A. the man found it important to day “I love you” in timeB. the mother asked her son to invite her again after the mealC. a copy of receipt came from a different restaurantD. the man’s wife was not getting well with Mother(B)Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success, but now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, "Why should I suffer this?” ” Isn't there a better way to do this? Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progressing in every field(领域) is the direct result of "try to find a better way" by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases( 情况), the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing tile machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution, he put a huge X－ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted."Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way." a worker said."Really? How?" "We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap".See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )36.

MARYLAND—An old postcard changed the lives of an eleven-year-old boy and a very sick woman. The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic. The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world.

Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket. “Please sign this, Mrs. Haisman.” he said. She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.When Joey got home. he put the postcard away and forgot about it, Then Kate Shelley, one of Joey’s frien ds, told him that her mother was very sick. She needed an operation. but there was a problem. The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80, 000 to pay for it. Friends and relatives tried to help. But where could they get so much money?Then when Joey went to see the new movie “Titanic”, he had an idea. “Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic.” Joey thought. He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman’s signature on it. “Maybe I can sell it for some money. Then I can help Kate’s mom. ”Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs. Shelley. His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it. Joey’s story was on television and in newspapers. Joey and Kate even went to New York to be on a national TV show. After the show, many people called in to offer money for the Titanic card.

But there were only two he really liked, and he had to have a c 87 between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for p 88 mountains all around it. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged（崎岖的）. Above was ana 89 sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. This did not look peaceful in the s 90 .But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush g 91 in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the middle of the rush running water, sat the mother bird on her nest — in perfect peace.Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second one.
