I want to steal it when he is asleep.” “No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then hell take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Dont forget it when you prepare supper for him.” The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed.

CAnnette Larkins is an incredible woman who looks like a healthy 40-year-old, although she just turned 70. She follows a special raw diet and only drinks rainwater. She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughter, when shes out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isnt complaining. Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special diet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts grown in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. The woman doesnt touch anything that has been cooked. And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the residents of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didnt always have such a healthy lifestyle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband used to own a meat factory way back in the 1960s. It was then that she decided to change her eating habits forever. And what a great decision that was. I mean, just look at her! When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated ()that she would look like a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eating raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey to Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets. Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her example, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers from diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure. He takes prescription medicine every day, but Annette doesnt even take an aspirin. 29.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The organic food.B.Her beauty.C.Specially cooked food.D.Her raw diet.30.What did the woman do with her healthy secrets?A.She sold them to the local people.B.She abandoned them at the age of 70.C.She publicized them in various ways.D.She improved them with her husbands help.31.What is the authors attitude towards Mrs. Larkinss lifestyle?A.Disapproving.

Larkins wanted to become young by following his wifes diet.D.Mrs, Larkins owned a meat factory in the 1960sD“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and think about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yangtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughters feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girls father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often. “The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. A mothers blame may lead to negative feelings within her childs heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things. B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show off his daughters cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children frequently.D.
