My wife June would even calculate how much money we would have saved just in heating costs each year.” he said , shaking his head.Taking his tape measure(卷尺) he walked over to the window nearby.“June is having some trouble. Her memory is getting lost along the way now. She had to stop working and volunteering at the school,” he said .”She has beginning signs of Alzheimers(老年痴呆症).”We remained quiet, standing there just knowing there was little I could say.Then stepping back he suddenly changed the subject as he pointed to that small window upstairs again.“I didnt want to replace it.

She has brightened my world forever.”“Well , your window man said it was going to be too small , Maybe you explained it to June.”“I did. Thats why Im working on his project until now.

The happinessBFor the eager joke, nothing beats April Fools Day, a light-hearted tradition thats several hundred years old . A lot of people think April Fools Day is just obnoxious , and just wish it would stop . But people who love jokes really love the day and refuse to give up the tradition.The origins of April Fools Day are still unclear. The most popular theory is that France changed its calendar in the 1500s so that the New Year in the spring . These country people became known as “April fools”.But according to Alex Boese , curator(馆长)of the museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, California, the French story is completely wrong. The day that the French celebrated the beginning of the year legally was Easter Day , so it never really was connected with April 1st. Boese believes instead that April Fools Day simply grew out of age-old European spring festivals, in which jokes are common.Joseph Boskin, professor of American humor at Boston University, has offered his own explanation of the holidays roots. In 1983, he told a reporter that during the time of Constantine I in the third and fourth centuries A.D., Roman jesters (弄臣) successfully asked the ruler to allow one of their elected members to be king for a day. So ,on April 1st ,Constantine handed over the reins (统治权) of the Roman Empire for one day to King Kugel, his jester . Kugel decided that the day forever would be a day of jokes.Kugel , incidentally, is an Eastern European dish that one of Boskins friends had been expecting.46.

A. was the result of the change of the calendar B. was widely accepted all over the world C. has a history of about half a century D. has been celebrated in Rome since the 1500s48.

Americans believe April Fools Day grew out of Easter Day.49. According to Joseph Boskin, April Fools Day _. A. can date back to 1,900 years ago B. came from a news report C. has its roots in Roman history D. was created by Constantine I50. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _ . A. King Kugel was a real historical character B. Boskins story about April Fools Day may not be true C. Boskin is very familiar with Roman history D. the origin of April Fools Day has been clear.CHow many times have you felt that your parents dont understand you, that they have no respect for you as an individual? How often do you shake your head in frustration (沮丧) and blame it on the “generation gap”? Parents! They are like aliens from another planet altogether! You and they are in different camps, strangers forced to live under the same roof. Right? Wrong! There is a way of bridging what appears to be a wide gap.If you really want to improve your relationship with your parents ,try listening to them , treating them just like you would be a valued friend. Instead of always complaining, “ You dont understand me,” stop and think. Do you ever try and understand them? Parents are under a lot of stress , too. When you are worrying about your upcoming maths exam, they are worrying about the boss in the office. Sometimes they dont know where the money for all the applications you send to foreign universities is going to come from. Your mom may seldom have a chance to go out and enjoy herself. Your dads colleagues (同事) may deride him because he cannot afford membership to a club. Yes , unusual though it may sound , parents are humans too. They may have dreams theyve sacrificed (牺牲) because they want you to realize yours. Once you step into their shoes and try to look at things from their point of view, two wonderful things happen: one, you feel a new respect for them, and two, you will find you can actually get your own way without heated arguments.Today, when you come back from school or college, ask your mom or dad, “How did your day go today?” or “Is there anything I can do to help you around the house?” Youll see the visible difference it makes to the atmosphere at home. And each day, try to keep your promises to do your homework, to clean your room and to write letters or telephone if you are living away from home. 51. The authors purpose in writing the passage is to tell us _. A. what the generation gap is B. how to bridge the generation gap C. the problems between parents and children D. the relationship between parents and children52. Through the first paragraph, the author tries to tell us that _. A. parents and children are like stranger B. parents often misunderstand their children C. children can do something to gain parents understanding D. it is wrong to blame parents on everything53. How can you improve your relationship with your parents? A. By listening to and understanding your parents. B. By having heated arguments with your parents. C. By giving up your dreams for your parents. D. By treating your parents like aliens from another planet 54. The underlined word “deride” (in Paragraph2) probably means “_”.
