He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 a.m. every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter. On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me; my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤） in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadnt communicated with him as much as Id always wanted to. I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me. 21.

St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersCThe snowman is one of my all-time favorite pieces of animation(动画片). Directed by Dianne Jackson and produced by Jonathan Coates, this film is truly filled with wonder. The music by Howard Blake, Walking in the air, stays with me for days every time I watch this film. Based on the best-selling book by Raymond Briggs, this animation is true to the original story and one you can share with your family during the holiday season.In the snowman, a young boy called James wakes up one morning and finds snow on the ground. He quickly gets dressed and runs outside. He then builds a huge snowman. He gives it eyes, a nose, a scarf and a hat. He even gives it a big smiley face. After building the entire snowman by himself, it is time for James to go to bed. When he wakes up again he notices that the snowman has moved a little, so he runs downstairs and out of the door. He then notices the snowman is glowing, moves some more and then totally comes to life. The snowman and James introduce themselves to each other and become great friends. The rest of the film shows the two flying around with so much fun and adventure throughout the day.The book, the snowman, was adapted for the screen in 1982. It was nominated(提名) for an Academy Award for best animated short film. The scenes of the animation are just amazing, bringing to life so many memories from the days of movie shorts(电影短片). The silence in the film, meaning that there is no dialogue, makes it even more beautiful and old-fashioned.I recommend this film to children aged 2 to 6. Parents will enjoy not having to worry if it appropriate or not. I give the film 5 out of 5 stars.28. The original story for the animation came from _.A. Howard Blake B. Dianne Jackson C. Raymond Briggs D. Jonathan Coates29. Whats the animation mainly about?A. A snowmans winter adventure B. A boys happy time during the holidayC. A boys worries about losing a snowman D. A boys happy time with a living snowman.30. From Paragragh3, we know that the animation _.A. is a pioneer animated short film. B. has won an Academy AwardC. begins with funny dialogues D. has very beautiful scenes31. According to the text, the author_.A. thinks highly of the snowman B. doesnt enjoy Walking in the airC. used to play with snow when he was young D. recommends kids to read the book about JamesDScientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.32. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means _.A. healthy B. lazy C. ordinaryD. poor 33. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that _.A. housewives are poorer than career womenB.housewives have more children than career womenC.housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD.housewives eat less food than career women 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers dont care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D.A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.35. The best title for this passage may be _.A.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 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。Why do girls have to play sports?
