Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didnt care.One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, Ill give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasnt going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual(理智的) preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid. And now I have achieved my dream.Over the years my mothers changeless faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I found myself faced with my own medical illness. A few years ago I discovered I had a very serious cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine(脊柱). My mother believed in God very much. She never worried. She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mothers story a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.29.When the author asked his mother to buy him shirts, she .A. advised him to earn money by himself B. asked him to try to manage their moneyC. persuaded him not to buy them patiently D. agreed to buy them for him immediately30. What do we learn about the author?A. He now works as a doctor. B. He disliked watching TV as a kid.C. He received little formal education. D. He often did housework when young.31. The underlined word “this” in the last but one paragraph refers to .A. Gods throwing me away B. my own medical illnessC. the operation on my spine D. my mothers changeless faith in God32. In writing the passage, the author mainly shows us .A. the happy relationships in his familyB. the benefits of reading for young childrenC. the importance of formal education for adultsD. his mothers great influence on his development D Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers（生产商） include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesnt want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerrys manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice callsAmericans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annuallyearn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled. Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population. “Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer. Children are more vulnerable(易受伤的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates（渗透）only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says. Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains. Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phones speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women（孕妇）should keep phones away from the abdomen(腹部).33. According to Ms Davis, brain cancer increase_. A. among children B. among old people C. in the twenties D. among pregnant women34. Why do children easily be affected by radiation? A. Because they havent grown up. B. Because they are too young to protect themselves. C. Because they use cell phones more often than adults. D. Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Pregnant women should keep cell phones away. B. People should use cell phones in the correct way. C. If you are a child, youd better text than make phone calls. D. When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phones speaker.第二节(共5小题 ,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 .By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.1.Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious. 37 .
