It didnt matter that the stems（茎）felt sticky or that both my parents cursed the 36 of these flowers in the lawn. I thought they were beautiful!And there were so many of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then breaking the blossoms off with a 37 of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out. My father or brothers would 38 all the heads with the lawn mower (割草机) at least once a week, but that didnt 39 these amazing wonders. And for those flowers that 40 the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the sharp blades of the lawn mower, there was another level of 41 . The soft, round balls of a dandelion gone to 42 caused endless laughs and voices of delight as we unconsciously spread this flower 43 the yard. As I worked in my garden last week, pulling 44 weeds out of the space that would become a safe place for tomatoes, corn, peas and sunflowers, I was again 45 at the flower that some call a weed with admiration. And I thought, “If only I had the staying 46 of a dandelion.” If only I could 47 my roots so deep and straight that something dragging my stem couldnt 48 me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to 49 the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, 50 attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only my foliage (叶子) was a nutritious 51 of vitamins that help others grow. If only I could 52 love and encouragement freely and fully 53 this flower spreads seeds of itself. I hope you and I can be different. I hope that we can stretch our roots 54 enough that the strongest poison cant reach our souls. I hope that we can overcome such 55 as anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. I hope that we can see flowers in a world that sees weeds.36.

Its a sleek but welcoming hotel with an open-plan lobby that incorporates an inhouse restaurant and a comfortable lounge area. Upstairs, we quickly warm to our modern guestroom, which features reliable, free WiFi, free movies on a large wall-mounted TV, and in the bathroom Malin+Goetz toiletries (洗漱用品). Its good value at about $160 for a king room.8 p.m.Dinner and a drive-in movie The hotels Roadhouse Bar and Grill has an upscale menu (mains $ 25$ 40 per person) but a casual atmosphere, with an open kitchen and families seated at several tables. Weve been told not to fill up on dinner so we reluctantly leave our tender scotch fillet and expertly pan-fried barramundi unfinished. At the reception, we pick up keys to the hotels white Cadillac, which is parked out front, and drive around the corner to the Skyline Drive-In ($ 20 for one car with two passengers).Saturday9 a.m.Feasting in Bonnyrigg Everywhere we go, there is food. At the temple, we watch a famous Laotion chef prepare pawpaw salad, while at the mosque we are offered feather-light fairy floss. Later, in a low-ceilinged Asian grocer, we are fed sublime rice-paper rolls by a proprietor who speaks five languages. Those who dismiss ordinary Australians as conservative and intolerant have clearly not visited Bonnyrigg.6 p.m.People-watching at The Emporium In Parramatta, the venue (场所) of the moment is The Emporium, a 150-seat exposed-brick space with a mod-Oz menu which leans Mediterranean. Unlike many of the more casual places we visit over the weekend, The Emporium has a decidedly grown-up atmosphere, full of well-dressed couples and smart wait staff. Dishes like a delicate stew of Moreton Bay bugs ($ 36) and truffle-stuffed chicken breast (also $ 36) are delicious. Dont expect to get a table on Saturday night unless you book ahead.56. How much did the author and her boyfriend have to pay at least on Friday?A. $ 216. B. $ 226. C. $ 332. D. $ 260.57. According to the passage, a visitor to western Sydney can _.A. get warm in modern guestrooms B. overeat delicious dinner C. hire a car to see moviesD. feel unfriendliness from ordinary AustraliansBAninvestigative studyof Black Friday, led by West Chester University Professor Gina Castle Bell, observed themes of consumerism but also observed the themes of a happy holiday. The researchers found through Black Friday people celebrate, plan, bond, and build traditions together. For me my Black Friday always begins and ends on a living room floor littered with newspaper ads. There, late on Thanksgiving night, my family collectively holds a strategy session. Later, we race to early bird specials, wait with strangers in lines sharing stories of past Black Fridays, take a long relaxing lunch full of family banter (戏谑), get Christmas decorations, stop into a Cheesecake Factory bar to see the dramatic end of a football game, get a caffeine-high from Starbucks Christmas drinks, and end the shopping at a torn apart Old Navy (美国服装品牌), digging to find late available basics like socks. Finally, exhausted but contented, we collapse back on that living room floor, still littered with ads, where we drink hot cocoa, watch a Christmas movie, and plan to hang the new decorations. This is not to say that Black Friday is always lovely. Instead, its often miserable. But the misery is sort of what makes Black Friday such a great tradition. Many Black Friday shoppers know that the deals on Black Friday are not especially great and are available online. But they did not show up for the deals, they showed for the “misery.”For them the crowds, the rush, and the difficulty all enhance (提升) Black Fridaysimilar to the way crowds enhance movie opening nights, the rush enhances music festivals, and difficulty enhances the experience of camping for other types of people. Those crazy elements transform the events into what consumer researchers call a “collectible experience.” Collectible experiences are not always pleasant but they are memorable and meaningful to those games for them.There seems to be a mad rush in the media to analyze Black Friday. Yet, every analysis misses the point that Black Friday, which though on the surface seems like just evil consumerism, is actually, for some, quite a meaningful, ritualistic (例行的) experience.Maybe this happy holiday is not for you. Maybe you think it is silly or even disgusting that Americans choose to bond through, over all other options, shopping. But what you cannot deny is that Black Friday has become something bigger than deals. It has become a part of a collective and personal culture, where many shoppers are not trying to avoid the trouble and craziness of the day; instead, they are trying to strategically and happily dive into it. And, right now, on living room floors all across America, families are planning how to get the most out of their yearly ritual. 58. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _.A. many shops open ahead of schedule to compete with others for more customersB. many shops offer free drinks to customers when they watch football gamesC. the author purchases cheap socks and the room floor collapses under their weight D. the author stops shopping at an old and shabby store late on Thanksgiving night 59. Which of the following does NOT belong to a “collectible experience”?A. Waiting with strangers in lines.B. Racing to early bird specials.C. Digging to find commodities.D. Transforming crazy elements.60. By saying “Black Friday has become something bigger than deals”, the author means Black Friday _.A. would be enjoyed more if it were less commercialB. is a great chance to feel comfort and relaxedC. is a miserable, meaningful and traditional experience D. undergoes a comprehensive evaluation from the media 61. What could be the best title of the passage?A. A Loving Defense of Black Friday B. An Introduction to Black FridayC. Widespread Criticism of Black Friday D. Fantastic Experience of Black Friday CHomeopathy is the oldest form of complementary（互补的）and alternative medicines from Europe. Itoriginatedwith the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (17551843). He came across thecinchona, the bark of a South American tree that was used by the local people to treat fevers. Among the active ingredients in the bark is quinine（奎宁), which is still used to treat malaria. If a healthy person took cinchona, he or she would have symptoms (症状) of malaria. In 1796 and 1810, Hahnemann published essays on the theories of homeopathy: substances that cause illnesses or symptoms in people can be used in small doses as treatment. Supporters of homeopathy viewed it as a safe, patient-centered system. Hahnemann claimed he could cure any and all illnesses using homeopathic principles.However, the Australian council sought to evaluate this claim once and for all. Their assessment was based on the analysis of 57 published systematic reviews encompassing 176 individual studies, independent evaluation of evidence provided by homeopathy interest groups and the public, and clinical practice guidelines and reports on homeopathy from other governments. Studies were only considered if they were case-controlled, meaning they compared a gr
