The best Mother’s Day gift I ever received was a magnolia (木兰) tree. At first, it was a tiring little thing, but it was mine, and I knew I would treasure it.
Magnolia trees, you see, were my 36 favorite. We had 37 in the front yard of our house when I was growing up. I can still remember Mom’s 38 upon seeing the buds (蓓蕾). “Oh, look!”she’d cry out every year, “The magnolea tree is going to bloom—just 39 for my birthday.” And sure enough, on April 19, her birthday, the graceful pink-and-white flowers 40 be
all over the branches, announcing the arrival of spring.
Back then, I didn’t find the blooming of a tree to be an event 41 of celebration. A new toy, a pretty dress or a trip to the amusement park—those were exciting. But my mother had a 42 of appreciating the smallest things as wonders. A baby’s smile, or a call from an old friend filled her 43 happiness.
On the first Mother’s Day 44 her death six years ago, I wasn’t sure how I’d manage. Reminders of my mother absence seemed to be 45 .
That Sunday morning I awoke to a quiet house, with warm sun 46 through the window. I wondered 47 my husband had gone with our two daughters, Kira, 4, and Sophie, 9 months. As I was relaxing in bed, 48 the peace, Kira suddenly burst through the bedroom door.
“Look outside, Mommy!”She ordered. There, in the yard, David was digging a hole. Next to him 49 two little trees whose roots were wrapped in a piece of cloth.
“They’re magnolea trees,”Kira said, though I didn’t need to be told. I 50 the window and called out to David. “Happy Mother’s Day,”he said.
It was. 51 I didn’t have my mother any longer, I had her tree, and each year since, I’ve had her enthusiasm. Now when we pull up to our house 52 a bright spring day, I say to my daughters, “Oh, look! The magnolia’s 53 to bloom.”And when it 54 , we admire its beauty and use it as a 55 to talk about my mother and her love for flowers.

Compared to other parts of the body, our ears don’t ask for much. They don’t need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.
Maybe your mum or dad has told you,“Turn that down before you go deaf!”Well, they are quite right. Loud noise might cause hearing loss for a short time or even forever. Think that earphones are a good way to escape from tour parents’ eyes? Well. It may not be as good a way as you expect. American doctors have studied a group of 44,000 people who used earphones more than 15 hours per week. The doctors found that 37,000 of them were getting hearing problems.
If you use earphones for to8 long a time, your ears might feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day. Want sharp hearing? Don’t forget to do the following: Try to stay away from places where there is too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs. When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in. Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Keep these things in mind! Then you won’t be saying “WHAT???”when you are older. 56．Which is the topic paragraph of the article?
A、Paragraph One.
B、Paragraph Two
C、Paragraph Three

Invisible ink has fascinated kids for generations. You might think that it would be difficult to make, but it’s not.
All you’ll need for this experiment is some milk; some white paper; a clean cotton swab (药签) or small, clean paintbrush; the kitchen stove; and help from an adult. The most difficult part of this mini-project is choosing the message that you’ll write with your invisible ink. Maybe you’ll want to pretend that you’re a spy on a secret mission, writing messages that would lead to big, big trouble if they were discovered. Choose your words carefully.
All you need to do is, using the brush of cotton swab, write your message with milk on the paper. Don’t use a lot of milk and soak the paper. Use just enough to make a thin coating.
Once you’ve finished writing, ask the adult who’s helping you to turn on the kitchen stove to a low heat. Very carefully, using kitchen mitts ,hold the paper about a foot above the warm burner. If you don’t see results, you may have to make the burner a little hotter.
Do not, however, hold the paper low over the burner. As the paper heats up, your message will become brown and you’ll be able to see what was written. You want to know why? It’s because chemical compounds in the milk have a low burning point. When the paper gets warm, those compounds will heat up and turn brown, while the paper will be unaffected.
You also can try this experiment with other liquids, such as orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, and apple juice. Just be sure to follow all safety rules and have an adult around to help you.

A、Soak the paper into water to make it appear.
B、Wait till the paper is dry enough.
C、U se some chemical compounds to make it appear.

BALl, Indonesia－China, a booming economy known for its air pollution and rising greenhouse gas emissions (排放物), is winning praise at an international climate confernce for its efforts to clean up and support anti－global warming moves.
Some experts believe China has surpassed the United States as the world’s emitter of greenhouse gases, yet it has made long steps in improving energy efficiency and promoting
renewable energy, environmentalists and officials said on Friday.
“I think China is taking climate change seriously, and that’s a good sign that there will be a good outcome here in Bali,”said Artur Runge－Metzger, head of the European Commission delegation at the conference on the Indonesian island.
Even hard－to－please environmental groups are praising Beijing, though it’s clear China, which relies heavily on dirty, outdated coal burning techniques has a lot more to do.
China ranked 40th on environmental watchdog Germanwatch’s annual index (指数), which ranks 56 industrialized and developing countries, was an improvement of four places over last year, the group said on Friday. The US and Saudi Arabia were the worst on the list, at 55th and 56th places, respectively. Last year, the US was ranked 53rd, followed by China, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia.
Germanwatch noted the Chinese government has carried out policies promoting renewable energy, including orders that solar, wind, hydroelectric and other forms of renewable energy provide 10 percent of nation’s power by . it also has ordered key industries to reduce energy consumption (消耗) by ercent.
Politicians and activists said Chian’s defensive attitude of the past has given way to constructive discussions at the Bali climate change conference. Beijing has also taken the lead among developing countries in calling for wealthier nations to speed up the transfer(转换) of cleaner technologies to emerging economies to help move away from fossil fuels.
Hans Verolme, director of WWF International’s Global Climate Change Program, attributed China’s position to concerns over energy security and a recognition that climate change is already having a severe effect on the country, with worsening droughts, water shortages and floods.

Women with an hourglass figure have brains to go with their curves (曲线), scientists claim. Going in at the waist is said to be a sign of intelligence which leads to brighter children, too. Women such as Nigella Lawson with a big difference between their waist and hip measurements scored significantly better in tests than those with thinner, straighter frames. Researchers concluded that it was not necessary for a woman to be skinny—what mattered is that her waist should be smaller than her hips. A ratio of 3:5 was found to be ideal.
The study, by the Universities of Pittsburgh and California, involved 16,000 women and girls.
According to the scientists, the results are no mere quirk of nature. They claim that the fat around curvy hips and thighs (大腿) holds higher levels of -3 fatty acids which are essential for the growth of the brain during pregnancy(怀孕). The fat which collects around the waist, however, is more likely to contain -6 fatty acids, which are less suited to brain growth.
Reporting in the journal Evolution an Human Behaviour,the researchers found that the children of curvy mothers are more likely to do well in cognitive tests than others. They claim that this could help explain why the children of teenage mothers—who might not yet be physically mature enough to have developed real curves—tend to do less well in school.
As well as boosting (提升) brainpower, －3 fatty acids found in oily fish are considered to be of huge health benefit.
Although the study analysed women’s bodies only, －3 fatty acids are also stored in men’s hips. However, it is not known whether men with wide hips benefit from the same brainpower boost.
72．Which shows the possible shape of an hourglass?
A、B、C、D、
73．Suppose the following measurements are taken from four women. Which of them is more likely to have bright children?
A、Waist：60cm；Hip：100cm
B、Waist：60cm；Hip：80cm
C、Waist：55cm；Hip：60cm
D、Waist：1；Hip：110cm
74．The underlined sentence“the results are no mere quirk of nature”possibly tells us the results .
A、can be explained scientifically
B、are strange and hard to explain
C、have just come about by chance
D、are very interesting
75．According to the researchers, teenage mothers tend to have less bright
children because .
A、they aren’t so good at childcare
B、they usually have less fat than mature women
C、they aren’t physically strong enough
D、their waist and hip measurements differ less

Dear editor,
Last Sunday, when I went shopping with my mother, I saw a few boys were making fun of a beggar, a disabled boy. I went up to stop them, then I asked the disabled boy for some information and gave him five yuan.
Nowadays, some children and even young people don’t respect or care for the disabled. On the contrary, they laugh at disabled people for fun and hurt their self-esteem.
Personally, it is an impolite and even immoral thing to do so. I hope the whole society will condemn such sorts of behavior and help them kind-heartedly. Only in this way can our society be more beautiful. Do you agree with me?
Expecting your advice!
Yours,
Zheng Yi。
