These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations（康乃馨). A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts.” Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone panies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.24. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up childrenB. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good personsD. Parents pass away before children grow up25. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.26. On Mothers Day and Fathers Day，_ .A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts27. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowers.B. They make bread or pastry.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers DayCIm a pig，and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters，and my wife，believe it or not，is a dragon！Do I live in a zoo？No，of course not！I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs(十二生肖)Depending on the year of your birth，each person has an animal for a sign. Thats why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you，like me，were born in the year of the pig，then you are brave，thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.Now lets take a closer look at this interesting animal.Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago，and are still a very mon farm animal in many parts of the world. We dont just use pigs for their meatalmost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax，rubber and plastics.Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film Babe starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated(提名)for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer，Rob Shepherd，has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People dont just want to eat pigs，it seems!Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example，if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day，you can say “Pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then，you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you？Well，you can say that they “saved your bacon”28. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a _ tone.A. sad B. confusedC. serious D. humorous29. According to Paragraph One，his wife was born in the year of the _.A. dragon B. snake C. rabbit D. pig30. We may know from the passage that _.A. people in England like pigs more than other animalsB. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagineC. pigs are the first animals raised by manD. more people dont want to eat pigs now31. Which diagram shows the structure(结构)of the passage?DWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic （神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny（命运), and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.32. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is _.A. to see whether peoples personality affects their life spanB. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A. They have a good understanding of evolution.B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They generally appear more resourceful.D. They are more likely to get over hardship.34. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.35. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A. Childrens personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers.B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner.C. Mothers influence on children may last longer than fathers.D. Mothers negative personality characteristics may affect their childrens life spans.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。Are you embarrassed to recite in class because you might give the wrong answer?
