Then he sa id, “Excuse me too... I wasn't36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.That night, when I lay 42 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I 50 have fu ssed at you that way.”And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hu gged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave _53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--an unwise investment(投资) indeed.Remember that 55 = (F)ATHER -- (A)ND--(M)OTHER -- (I)--(L)OVE--(Y)OU.36.

It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchersin Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-oldchild. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee（黑猩猩）.In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object , using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed（品种）known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can’t talk back. Still, it wouldn’t h urt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 60．From paragraph 2 we know that .A．animals are as clever as human beingsB．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children61．Both experiments show that .A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB．Rico can recognize different things including toysC．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD．Rico won’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them62．Which of the following statements is true?A．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie’s mental abilities.B．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D．Rico is born to understand its owner’s commands.63．What does the writer want to tell us?A．To train your dog. B．To talk to your dog.C．To be friendly to your dog. D．To be careful with your dog.CIt is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damage to human beings’immune(免疫的) system, weakening resistance to disease and leading to death due to complete weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can kill the AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS.This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand.Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriers(艾滋病毒携带者) is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them.There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission(传播) of AIDS. One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food containers. Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented.This is the driving force behind the State Education Commission’s decision to spread AIDS awareness information among college students and later to high school students and primary school students.64. Why does the passage say that AIDS is a deadly disease?A. Because it destroys the immune system of the human body.B. Because the AIDS patients can not resist diseases and die.C. Because doctors can find no medicine to cure AIDS.D. All of the above.65. By writing “ this is only one side of the story.” the writer suggests that ______.A. although we can’t cure AIDS, we can manage to prevent itB. AIDS is very dangerous, but we should not be scared by itC. AIDS is not curable but doctors should not give up fighting against itD. although the doctor cannot cure the disease, yet he can help improve the patients’ health.66. What can be concluded from the surveys and investigations mentioned in the passage?A. 50 percent of college students have no idea how people become AIDS victimsB. 50 percent of college students do not know how to prevent AIDSC. Many college students are not aware how people become AIDS victimsD. Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations67. Which of the following can be the proper title of the passage?A. China Fights AIDSB. Young People – Most Likely AIDS VictimsC. AIDS Information Is NecessaryD. AIDS – A Deadly DiseaseDA person, like a commodity ( 商品)，needs packaging., But going too far is completely undesirable. A little exaggeration（夸张），however, does no harm , when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment（装饰），so that the person to be packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining, with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash . Packaging for themiddle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work , you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain.. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains，mountains and jungles; running its course as it should. You have really lived your life , which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness, with no interest in fame or wealth .There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairy land . Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony（和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of deluxe（better quality）edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a -commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.68. It can be concluded from the text that__________.A.people should be packed at all agesB. people should be packed in a special wayC.elderly people also care about packingD. proper packing makes people attractive69. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should________.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame end wealth70. For the middle-aged, attractiveness_________.A .hardly exists B. is the strongest.C. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance71. The underlined sentence means that elderly people ________.A. are usually packed like a finely-made bookB. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeC. do a lot of traveling and can give you much informationD. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairy landE“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! This broadcast is coming to you today from Downing Stadium. It’s an overcast and drizzly day here in Kenton, but we expect to see lots of fast action out there on the field as the Kenton Warriors meet the Jackson Bears for the first pro game of the season.”For those of you not too familiar with this great game of soccer, let me tell you briefly how it’s played. There are two teams of 11 players try to maneuver(机动灵巧动作) a round ball into the nets by kicking it with their feet or by using any part of the body except their arms and hands. Sometimes they even bounce it off each other. If the ball goes into the net, the team kicking it scores one point.A goalie stands in front of each net to keep the other team from scoring. Only goalies are allowed to use their hands. They may grab the ball, take four steps, and throw or kick it to one of their team members. And, believe me, every team member plays to win!the Jackson Bears in gold shorts and white jerseys are moving onto the field. It’s certain to be a close game with these two champion teams.“Kenton wins the toss! Here’s the kickoff.”72. Which of these will probably be most descriptive of the Downing Stadium game?A.
