Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf (young elephant) struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mothers loveMa Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring all the time，but to her calf it was music41.

Believe it or not, theres actually one day of the week thats better than the rest.While it may be the most convenient for you to shop on weekends, its much cheaper to handle your grocery list on Wednesdays. According to Lifehacker, this mid-week day is when many grocery stores release new sale ads, but also honor the previous weeks sale items. That means you will have more sale items at your fingertips.MyGroceryDeals.Com also confirms that Wednesday is the best day for grocery shopping. “For about half of the country, this is the day when approximately half of the retailers (零售商) start their weekly sales,” site representative Gord Crowson told GBS News. Of course, you should double-check with your local stores to be sure.To save even more, experts say that shopping in the evening is your best bet. That means Wednesday nights are the ultimate (最后的) time to buy. “This is the time when perishables(易腐物品) are typically reduced for quick sales,”Crowson added. “If the Produce, Bakery or Meat departments are concerned about having too much stock(库存；存货) left over at the end of the day, they will often reduce the price by up to 50 percent to encourage quick sales.”So, when your refrigerator needs to be restocked, make time to shop on Wednesday nights. Youll give yourself the best chance to score the biggest deals on your meals.45. To buy groceries, which time may be highly recommended?A. Wednesdays before dinner. B. Weekends before dinnerC. Wednesdays after dinner D. Weekends after dinner46. According to the passage, it can be learned that_.A. about half the retailers may start their weekly sales on Wednesdays B. new sale ads are always released by grocery stores at weekendsC. the price of most groceries will be reduced by half at weekendsD. the mid-week day may be the most convenient for people to shop47. According to the passage, it can be inferred that on Wednesdays_.A. not all items are reduced for quick sales B. perishables are usually not availableC. many stores stop their weekly sales D. shoppers refrigerators tend to be emptyCAt thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he made a great invention and invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out（突发灵感） and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying.”48. The author didnt finish the reading in class because _.A. He was new to the class B.
