My mother read and cried. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful poem!”Shyly, but 36 , I said yes. She poured out her 37 . “It was nothing short of talent!”“What time will Father be home？” I asked. I could hardly wait to 38 my work to him.I spent quite some time 39 for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish, drew a fancy border around it, and 40 I placed it right on my father’s plate on the diningtable. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be able to 41 my poem.At almost 7 o’clock my father burst in. He seemed 42 . He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees.Suddenly he paused an d glared at his plate. “What is this？” He was reaching for my poem.“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “And it’s beautiful, absolutely amaz …”“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide for myself.” Father said.I 43 my head as he read that poem.

I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I49 myself on the bed and cried the worst of the 50 out of me.That may have been the end of the story, but not of its 51 for me. I realized how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “I think it’s awful.”Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all 52 flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that 53 , “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”Those 54 voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me.

A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s airbags that will inflate during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association （JAMA）. He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable（伸缩式的） seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated（授权）the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.56. This article mostly deals with __________.A. how to drive safely on the roadB. different forms of seat beltsC. the history of seat belt developmentD. the importance of seat belt use57. The author treats the subject of this article with __________.A. good humorB. admirationC. seriousnessD. disapprovalBForget the pyramids, Tahrir Square and the Nile. Egypt is ready to ditch Cairo and build a shiny new capital if the government has its way.Fed up with pollution, traffic jams, a packed population with soaring rents, Egypt is teaming up with a developer in the United Arab Emirates to build a city in what could be one of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure programs.The yet-to-be-named city will spread out over 150 square miles, or roughly the size of Denver, and could eventually be home to 7 million people, the developers and government announced Friday.The current capital of Cairo, while full of history and vibrant charm, is home to more than 18 million people, and living in and getting around the city can be maddening and frustrating. The government says the idea is to reduce congestion in Cairo, which is projected to double in population in the coming decades.An exact location was not announced, but the city is expected to be built east of Cairo. It will be closer to the Red Sea -- between two major highways -- the Suez and the Ain Sokhna roads.The ambitions are big. In addition to the new embassies and government buildings, it plans to have an international airport bigger than Heathrow, solar energy farms, 40,000 hotel rooms, nearly 2,000 schools and 18 hospitals -- all linked together by over 6,000 miles of new roads.But if the dream is big, the bill will be bigger.The total cost is estimated at U.S. $45 billion, Minister of Housing Mostafa Madbouly announced at an economic development conference in Sharm el-Sheikh.The revealing of the new capital was paired with a glamorous website showing a luxurious and technological urban view of glass towers and pools.The plan is backed by a group that describes itself as “a private real estate investment fund by global in vestors focused on investment and development partnerships” led by Emirati developer Mohamed Alabbar.Alabbar made his name as the founder of Dubai’s Emaar Properties, primarily known for developing the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.Egypt is not the first country to plan on moving its capital from established big cities to rural greener pastures. Myanmar（缅甸） has only recently completed its move from Yangon to the new city of Naypyidaw. Nigeria moved to Abuja in the 1990’s, and Brazil carved it s capital Brasilia out of the wilderness over 50 years ago.And then there was another crazy idea of building a capital city on a square of swampland that seemed mainly to be a boondoggle for wealthy land speculators（商人） at the time.That city？ _________58. Egypt is ready to join hands with some experienced developers to build a new capitalmainly because of the following EXCEPT __________ in the old capital.A. pollution and populationB. its location and higher rentsC. its long history and charmD. traffic jams and crowdedness59. The underlined sentence in the passage means that it is __________.A. a new city with expensive infrastructure programsB. a new city with beautiful glass towers and poolsC. an enterprising dream with abundant fundsD. a noble dream with rich cooperative teams60. Which city was the outcome of a crazy idea at that time？A. Abuja.B. Brasilia.C. Naypyidaw.D. Washington, D.C.C“Does my smile look big in this？” Future fitting-room mirrors in clothing stores could subtly adjust your reflection to make you look — and hence feel — happier, encouraging you to like what you see.That’s the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other word, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones — that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around — is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face — as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown （皱眉）.Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited （招募） 21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task wascomplete the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers’ emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.The system could be used to manipulate consumers’ impressions of products, say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“It’s certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy what harm is it doing？” says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated, uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”61. What’s the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System？A. To see whether one’s feeling can be unconsciously affected.B. To see whether one’s facial expressions can be altered.C. To see whether laughter comes before happiness.D. To replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.62. What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study？A. It recorded the volunteers’ performance in the task.B. It gave the volunteers a false image.C. It attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.D. It beautified the volunteers’ appearance in the mirror.63. What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technology？A. It only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.B. It only works in clothing stores.C. It only makes subtle changes to people’s expressions.D. It only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.64. What does Creed’s comment on the moral issues with this technology imply？A. Nothing is more important than happiness.B. Technology is unable to manipulate people.C. People should make their decisions independently.D. People should neglect the harm of the technology.DThe phone ID flashed, “Emergency Vet”. “Oh no” I whispered. I could not lose Mer lin now.Ron and I had tried to have children for a long time with depressing results. I threw myself into my work. Any maternal feelings I had were spent on Merlin.I couldn’t wait to get home from work each night. I wanted to pick up that warm bundle of loving fur and nestle him. I wanted to sing “Rock-a-bye Merlin”, as I did every night as he would put his paws around my neck.Merlin was my comfort especially at times when I wondered if God was listening. But last night something had changed. Not only di d I sing “Rock-a-Bye Merlin”, but I asked, “What will I do after you’re gone？”Although Merlin was 19 years old, a senior in the age of a cat, he didn’t look or act that way. I didn’t want to accept the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifetime. My job at the law firm was so demanding and stressful that I couldn’t imagine getting through the day without Merlin waiting to greet me at home.I dialed the vet’s number. I asked for my husband but he already left. Then I took a breath and asked the questio n that no one wants to ask, “Is my Merlin still alive？” The nurse said “yes.”Ron came home and said that Merlin had almost no red blood cells left. White blood cells were replacing them. Merlin would need expensive transfusions most likely on a monthly basis. We both knew Merlin was running out of time. I asked Ron to drive me to the vet so I could say goodbye to my little boy cat but he was beat tired and it was late. Ron said if Merlin was still alive the next morning then he would take me to the vet.The next morning I called the vet. Merlin had survived the night.After driving to the vet, I went into the examining room. The nurse brought Merlin and placed him on an examining table on his side. His eyes were tightly shut. I thought he died already. I carefully edged my hand to reach his body. His body felt warm, but when I spoke his name there was no response. No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him.I was extremely sad.In that examining room I felt helpless. I wondered how many people in an examining room felt as helpless as I did.Feeling driven to prayer I yelled, “God this isn’t good enough. I need to see my Merlin the way I remember him, I need a miracle and I need it now!”At that moment, God granted a miracle. Merlin’s fa vorite compliment entered my mind. I said, “Merlin, You are Beautiful and You are Gorgeous, do you hear me？”One eye opened.I said “Gotcha”. I kept repeating those words.Merlin opened the other eye and, one limb at a time, got up. He was waiting for that phrase. He wanted to hear that he was beautiful and gorgeous again.Then I experienced another miracle.There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me. From out of nowhere, or maybe from heaven, I clearly heard a song we sung in church often：“It Is Well With My Soul.” I remembered thinking, “Yes, it is well with my Soul. I got to see my little boy cat one more time.”Merlin walked to me. He put his face in mine, which he had never done before. He rubbed a circle around my face twice. Merlin said goodbye with his face and marked me for life.Ron appeared shocked that Merlin was up and had walked to me. I said to Merlin, “Tell God you are a good boy and how much we love you” and then handed him back to the nurse.Tears of gratitude poured forth in memory of a miracle. You see for nineteen years God spoke to me through a special cat named “Merlin.” On Merlin’s last day, God proved he heard me when he granted a miracle. That miracle gave me time to say goodbye.65. Ron’s wife couldn’t lose Merlin because ________.A. Merlin was her adopted child for nineteen yearsB.

What did Ron’s wife think of Merlin？①comfortable ②demanding ③long life ④full of devotion ⑤lovely ⑥religiousA. ①②⑥B. ①②③C. ④⑤⑥D. ③④⑤67. What does “The next morning I called the vet.” in Paragraph 8 imply？A. The writer turned to the vet because Merlin was in desperate condition.B. The writer was so hopeless as to ask a favor of the vet.C. Ron would accompany her wife to the vet to live up to his promise.D. Ron did not care about Merlin so that the writer called the vet.68. When Merlin reached the examining room, ________.A. he shut his eyes tightly and was obviously deadB. his body felt warm because the writer rubbed him hardC. the writer chanted prayers to him trying to waking him upD. the writer felt helpless to have no timely surgical operation69.
