The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is 16 there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about 17 .Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it. 18 a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”.These are 19 tickets that will let them see a 20 game for free.“Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) —a television set, for example, at a special low price. 21 all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy 22 . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some 23 TV sets from the factory.“Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of 24 an invitation, but for a later time.Y ou may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. Y ou say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?” 25 you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.16.A. what B. where C. why D. when17.A. weather B. cloud C. sky D. rain18.A. Bring B. Take C. Give D.

It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.In Beijing, more and more people are taking part in the activity. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th (World Environment Day). The slogan(口号) for the day is, “ If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,”said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year.

A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they didn’t run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled(困惑), so they stepped near to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and couldn’t see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those mi ce was that of king and guard(卫兵).” The other thought for a while and said, “That is why!”A smart Frenchman said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed(表达) agreement another time.At that moment, one Chinese aske d, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and stayed speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame(羞愧), and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship.Instead, it is based on no relationship.36. Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________.A.one was biting the otherB.the mouth of the hole was too smallC.they were not afraid of smokeD.one was trying to help the blind one37. Why did the officials lower their heads in shame according to the passage?A.They didn’t dare to answer.B.They didn’t realize the importance of protecting animals.C.They felt sorry they had driven a poor blind mouse away.D.They didn’t express themselves much better.38. It is clear that ________.A.all the mice came out of the hole easilyB.each of the people understood the relationship differentlyC.the people wanted to kill the mice with smokeD.the people knew one of the mice was blind at first39. The words “it made sense” probably mean ________A. it was correctB. it was strangeC. it was funnyD. it was sweet40. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Two Lovely MiceB. Help Produces LoveC. Love Is AllD. Friends in NeedDPsychology（心理学）tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired(渴望的) result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories（领土）. This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物学的) connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket(火箭); however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.We need to take risks so that we can gain(获得) something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.41. Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly because ___________.A. they are too lazy to move onB. they feel pleased with the present lifeC. they have failed several times beforeD. they show little interest in the strange world outside42.

We can always achieve our goals by taking risks.44. Businessmen take a risk in order to __________.A. sell parts of a companyB. complete many thingsC. make more moneyD. get inside a rocket45.
