My mother has been living alone for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.

“Oh, I’ll make a dinner date with31 .” That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
That Friday after work, I 32 over to her house. She had been waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing her best dress and smiled like an angel. “I told my friends that I was going out with my son, and they were impressed.” she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to 33 about our meeting.”
We went to a restaurant that, although not big, was very nice. After we sat down, I had to read the 34 . Her eyes could only read large print.
"I used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you 35 and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing special but events of each other’s life. We talked s o 36 that we missed the movie.

Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. A note in it said: “I’ve already paid this bill. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night 39 f or me. I love you, son.”

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life changed. Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I hated this small boy. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house who did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, but I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. My hand, completely free from my mind, reached through the bars（护栏）. I couldn’t help reaching my hand through the bars. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the first time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored（宠爱）, but through the eyes of a sister.
To this day, I can’t imagine life without my brother. It is unbelievable how much I have learned about life from a seven-year-old boy. Above all, Rohan has taught me
that one should not care only for himself.

Friendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in the month of August. People give their loved ones or friends friendship bracelets and other gifts to celebrate their friendship. The culture of friendship bracelets is as old as even thousands of years.
After the WWII, the Para cord bracelets became very
popular. These were also known as survival bracelets.
One of the main reasons is that it was often used for a
rescue purpose. Para cord, used in the parachute（降落
伞）, does not wear away easily and is strong and durable.
Because of its light weight, people could carry it along
easily. If required, it could be made a very long rope and
be used as a rescue rope. Hunters used it to find their way
that they could return without getting lost.
Today there are all kinds of Para cord bracelets, made of colored strings. Girls like thinner and colorful bracelets. Many choose to make the bracelets by themselves for their dear friends. This not only appeals more to the feelings of people but also makes them know how much their friends mean to them. People keep the bracelets given by their friends long. Many people choose colored strings keeping the depth of their friendship in mind. White, yellow, orange and red show the different levels of friendship. Pure friendship is shown in white; the red color means love. An orange friendship bracelet is given to show strong friendship and yellow as simple friendship. Today, not only do the young people sport these friendship bracelets, but even the old do.
Does friendship have an age? Yes. Friendship is like the wine, and the older you get, the older and stronger your friendship is.
49. What is the main reason for Para cord bracelets becoming popular?
A. They can bring you good luck.
B. They are colorful and beautiful.
C. They can be used as rescue ropes.

Few of us give much thought to the ways that climate has transformed human life or to the ways that humans have learned to adapt to the changes in climate that have taken place. Climate is something that we usually take for granted, yet it is important to understand how it has changed our behaviors over time.
Climates do not stay the same. They have changed dramatically many times throughout history. There have been several ice ages followed by periods of warming. In a meeting in Rio de Janeiro, scientists discussed the global climate of the future. They studied how climate has changed in the past and how these changes have transformed life on our planet.
Human life and climate are interrelated. Climate affects our behavior much more than we realize. It affects the kinds of clothes we wear and even the colors we choose to wear. Since it affects the kinds of crops we can grow successfully, it influenced our eating habits. Architecture is also affected by climate. Engineers and architects must think about climate when they make decisions about the construction, materials, design, and style of buildings. Even our choices in transportation are determined by the climate in which we live.
Climate has played an important role in human development, and much of recorded history tells how people have dealt with their climate. In recent times, technological advances have helped us get some control over our environment. Hearing and air conditioning, for example, have made it easier for us to adapt to climate.
Not only does climate affect human behavior, but human activity may also affect climate. By changi ng the earth’s surface and introducing chemicals such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, humans may have had an impact on the climate. Since
1938, scientists have noticed an increased amount of CO2in the atmosphere. This increase could raise the temperature of the earth. Scientists worry that human activity such as burning coal, oil, and natural gas, for example, will cause a global change to a warmer climate.
A warming of the atmosphere would have a huge
effect on our environment. It would speed the melting
of the ice caps and raise sea levels. This would change
the climate and have made more effect on plant and
animal life.
We have learned a lot in our years on planet Earth. However, the questions is, have we learned enough? Since we do not know the effect of trying to control the weather, we cannot know what future problems we are causing when we try to control our environment.
53. What does the underlined word “transformed” mean?
A. helped
B. controlled
C. changed
D. decided
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Climates remain the same.
B. Human life and climate affect each other.
C. We have known more about climate’s affection on human behavior.
D. A warming of the atmosphere would have some effects on our environment.
55. The passage is written to .
A. suggest learning more on our planet Earth
B. show climate changes
C. stress the importance of climate changes
D. study global climates

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield have been friends since they were in seventh grade. That was in 1963. In 1977, they decided to start an ice cream business together. They took a $5 course to learn how to make ice cream. Then, they opened their first
ice cream parlor in Burlington, Vermont, in 1978. Jerry’s job was to make the ice cream an d to make sure it tasted better than anybody else’s ice cream. Ben’s job was to sell the ice cream and make sure that everybody knew that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was the best ice cream in the world.
They both ate a lot of their ice cream because that was
the best way to figure out how good it was. They tried
different things and experimented with unusual flavors and
recipes for their ice cream. They decided to make ice cream
flavors with lots of big chunks (pieces) of cookies, candies,
fruits, and nuts. Be n and Jerry’s ideas, and their rich, creamy,
chunky ice cream made their business very popular, very fast.
Ben and Jerry figured out the secret to making great rice cream. They started with fresh milk and cream and added lots of natural flavorings, lots of big chunks, and lots of imagination. To get people to try their product, Ben and Jerry asked them to taste freely ice cream everywhere they went. Their plan worked. The more ice cream they gave away, the more new customers they got.
Ben and Jerry wanted to run their business with goals that were different from the goals of traditional businesses. Traditional businesses usually have one main goal –to make a lot of money. Ben & Jerry’s has three main goals: to make great products, to make money, and to share that money with the community. Ben and Jerry believe that as business prospers（繁荣）, the community prospers too. They call this idea “linked prosperity.”
Our belief that all businesses have a responsibility to give something back to their communities was a very unusual idea several years ago when we first started talking about it. Some people thought we were crazy. They told us that no business could every succeed and make big profits if it kept giving away the profits to the community. We decided to try it and soon we were able to prove that we weren’t as crazy as people thought.
61. When did Ben and Jerry decide to start an ice cream business together?
62. Whose job was to make the ice cream?
63. What did Ben and Jerry do to get people to try their product?
64. How many goals do Ben & Jerry’s have to run their business successfully?
65. Why did some people think Ben and Jerry were crazy?
