Emily lay there for a moment, guessing her chances of survival. Finding the chances were in her favor, she sat up with a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her knee. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort as I carried her into the house to mend her hurt. With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment on her knee. I kissed her cheek. “All better now, sweetie?” “No, Grandma, you must say the Mommy words,” she said. I quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind: Please? Thank you? I love you? “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me all better.” Emily took a deep breath and recited (朗诵), “A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love.” My mind raced and I remembered. It was the same little song that I had said to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the “Mommy words” that made all bad things go away and only the good remain. Hearing it now, I realized that though I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers we were connected at the heart. I heard my grandmothers, my mothers, my daughters, my granddaughters, and my own voice mixing through time. “Dont cry, Grandma. I am all better.” Emily and I kissed and hugged, and said the Mommy words to each other. 56. After falling from the bike, Emily lay on the ground for a moment _.

Hersheys candies were still Americans favorites. But the company was in fierce competition with Mars, the maker of Milky Way, Snickers, and M&Ms. Hersheys leaders wanted to create something new. Hershey decided to build on the success of its Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Their idea was to create a candy like M&Ms, but with peanut butter in the center instead of chocolate. At first, the peanut butter caused the candy shell to become greasy (油腻的 ). Finally, Hersheys scientists created a mixture of peanuts and sugar that was smooth and tasty and could be put inside a thin candy covering. The new candy, Reeses Pieces, was introduced in 1978. Sales were strong at first but soon sagged. Would Hersheys newest candy fail? Then came an offer from Hollywood. Universal Pictures was creating a new movie about a lovely alien E.T. who is left on Earth. He is befriended by an 8-year-old boy named Elliott, who uses some candies to make E.T. come into the safety of his home. In the original script (剧本), that candy was M&Ms. But Mars refused to cooperate (合作). And so Universal called Hershey and offered them the chance to have Reeses Pieces appear in the 1982 movie. Hersheys leaders were worried that if the movie failed, and Reeses Pieces might never recover. But in the end they said yes, and the movie was a big hit. Almost overnight, Reeses Pieces became one of Americas most famous candies. Today, Reeses Pieces is one of the top-10 best-selling candies in America. And for that, Hershey can thank a cute little alien. 64. Why did Hersheys leaders want to create something new? A. To replace their old products. B. To make their chocolates internationally famous. C. To make their candies attractive in appearance. D. To make their company more competitive. 65. The underlined word “sagged” in Paragraph 2 means “_”. A. left B. dropped C. achieved D. increased 66. What do we know about Hershey? A. It was recommended by Mars to take part in Universals movie. B. It accepted Universals offer after careful consideration. C. It once worked together with Mars to make candies. D. It introduced Reeses Peanut Butter Cups in 1978. 67. The author mentioned the movie in order to show _. A. what Hersheys candies were made of B. what candies were Americans favorites C. how Hershey created a candy like M&Ms D. how a little alien helped Reeses Pieces succeed D Blue and green honey may look cool, but beekeepers in northeastern France are not happy about their new product. Over the past few months, beekeepers in Ribeauvill, a town located in the Alsace region, have noticed that bees there have been making honey in many strange colors. Bees have been returning to apiaries (places where bees are kept and honey is made) with different colors coating their bodies. The colors then end up polluting the honey. A recent survey showed that a nearby M&Ms factory (a candy bar company) is behind the change in color. Waste from the factory has been exposing the bees to a number of chemicals. Some of the chemicals are used in the outer shells of the bite-size candies, which come in many bright colors. The local beekeepers do not know if the polluted honey is dangerous to eat, but they are not taking any chances. They are throwing away the candy-colored honey, which means a big loss to local businesses. “For us, its not honey,” Alain Frieh, leader of the towns beekeepers union, tells Reuters news agency. The honey industry in this part of France has been suffering this year. According to Frieh, many bees died last winter or were unable to make honey because of the bad weather conditions. This new problem of colored honey is hurting the beekeepers way of life even more. The region is home to about 2,400 beekeepers and 35,000 groups of bees. The beekeepers harvest about 1,000 tons of honey each year
