| Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett's jeans and shirt full of burn holes. Tired and defeated, I 1 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 2 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 3 . Many windows in our house needed repairing due to his breaking 4 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 5 Brett had done to our once quiet home. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 6 as possible, but inside I was shouting, "I don't want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can't 7 him!" Having wiped my tears, I continued 8 him as before. When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall (少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 9 teens (少年). At the 10 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 11 the most to him or her. Brett spoke 12 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much. You were always there, no matter 13 . My mom and dad, I am their kid. But you, 14 troubled enough by me, always 15 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it." 16 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 17 . At that moment, tears 18 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 19 . Although I had struggled with silent 20 toward my stepson (继子), Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our life, but we can love them. | ||||

| Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem." The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house," she accused, "The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help." "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I ask God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem." |
| 1. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because she didn't like the greedy owner. B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor. C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in. D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help. |

|
[ ] |
| A. the old angel killed the farmer's cow B. the old angel treated the two families differently C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live D. the angel of death took the cow away |
| 4. Why did the older angel let the farmer's cow die? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow. B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson. C. Because she wanted to save the farmer's wife. D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich. |

| Parents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said. "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don't like your dress; it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. "Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue. |
| 1. This text is most probably written by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. a specialist in teenager studies B. a headmaster of a middle school C. a parent with teenage children D. a doctor for mental health problems |
| 2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the change from good to bad that's seen in a child B. the way that parents often blame themselves C. the opinion that a child has of his parents D. the advice that parents want their children to follow |
| 3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after them C. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them |
| 4. What is the writer's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it. B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change. C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers. D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children. |

| Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely aim at pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which was sure to include plants that don't have pest (害虫) problems. Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat given out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the increasing concern about pesticides on produce, and improvement in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. |
| 1. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to extreme sun rays |
| 2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area C. draw a color-coded map D. locate the problem area |
| 3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. adopting spot-spraying B. consulting infrared scanning experts C. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage |
| 4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the lack of official support B. its high cost C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production |
| 5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce B. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture D. full support from agricultural experts |

| I don't think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹, 小睡) after dinner. If you didn't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn't nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity-a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill. If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours' sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour. The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills. |
| 1. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. you get the habit of staying up late B. you haven't taken sleeping pills C. you sleep for hours after dinner D. you fail to do some exercises |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT true if you want to get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Go to bed earlier than usual. B. Talk with friends after dinner. C. Stay with friends after dinner. D. Do some physical labor. |
| 3. You feel tired all day probably because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. you stay up too late B. you get up too early in the morning C. you take sleeping pills D. you wake up too frequently at night |
| 4. We may infer that the author is most probably a _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. doctor B. reporter C. scientist D. professor |

| Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases (购入品) through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news, magazine stories, or computer software. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving (预定) hotels or renting cars are also available (可得到的) on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in online games or e-mail "chats". Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience. You can shop when you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want. The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe. Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead. It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of thing-from tonight's dinner to a new car. | ||||||||||
