at least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.i thought of a way to escape. i would explain that i needed my mothers permission to spend the nights. but as i called my mom, heather stood beside me to listen. she granted permission! then i would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. i didnt bring my own nightdress, so mrs. peters offered me heathers nightdress.as the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, i tried to stay awake. “do i need to go again? ill stay up to go one more time.”. of course, i finally fell asleep.the next morning, i was the first to wake up. i was warm! i lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. i did the only thing i could doi pretended that the bed-wetting didnt happen. i got up, took off heathers nightdress and changed into my clothes like the other girls.mrs. peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet nightdress. my heart stopped as i watched her face burn red. “who did this?” she screamed, with a look so scary. should i answer? and that was when it happenedmr. peters came in and grabbed his wife, “elvis presley died!”the news of the kings death overtook mrs. peters, and i was narrowly excused. then, we left peters together but without the other girls knowing what had happened.56. the author had to spend the night at peters because _.a. they had fun together and played too lateb. she was offered the nightdressc. the famous singer elvis presley died that nightd. she and her friends were having a sleepover party57. mrs. peters got angry because _.a. she found the nightdress wet b. elvis presley died that morningc. her husband grabbed herd. not all the girls behaved themselves 58. from the story, we know mrs. peters was _.a. a crazy and strict woman b. a devoted fan of elvis presleyc. a woman for perfection d. a woman with a strong fear of getting dirty59. what is the main idea of the passage?a. how i escaped mrs. peters punishment.b. how elvis presley saved my life.c. an embarrassing escape in my life. d. an unforgettable party in my memory. bwhen it comes to relationship, we spend a lot of time discussing their joys, but rarely talk about the pain when they break down. yet most people have a story about a broken relationship.for jane black, a six-year friendship ended when her friend was rude to one of her children. “after quite a few drinks at a party in my house, she said something rude to my child. i ended the friendship face to face at the party,” she says. “i didnt realize what i was doing at the time, i was simply standing up for my child, but in her eyes any challenge was a betrayal.” when angela thompson noticed a seven-year friendship disappearing, she let it go. “i didnt know how to deal with the issue. i didnt sit down for a grown-up conversation; i just walked away quietly.” the decision caused a reaction among thompsons other friends. “the other friends in the circle are the worst people when you are trying to break up with a friend,” she says. “they dont want you to stop being friends, because it puts them in a difficult position. you get told to just get it over.”though we have plenty of measures for handling conflict at work or family fight, we still dont have good ways of ending friendships. do we sit down and properly break up, or just walk away? psychologist serena cauchy has the following advice.dont blame.talk about your needs and feeling rather than talking like a dutch uncle. do talk about your needs.talk about why the friendship is not working for youabout how your needs arent being met.dont gossip.negative talk hurts everyone involved and in some cases can make matters worse.dont be so accessible.if there is a common wish to conclude the friendship, then you can remove it.60. how did angela thompson deal with her friendship when it went wrong?a. she ended it face to face.b. she left it as it was. c. she turned to her friends for advice. d. she made a direct challenge. 61. according to the third paragraph, we learn the other friends_.a. will help you to fix a broken friendshipb. will choose either of the sides who broke upc. will ask you to forgive each otherd. will be the worst people to break up with you at the same time62. which is not mentioned by psychologist serena cauchy?a. end the friendship if it cant be renewed.b. dont complain behind ones back.c. express what you want and expect.d. sincerely talk about friends shortcomings.63. what would be the best title for the passage?a. a true friendship b. when friendships disappearc. how friendships lastd. ways to fix friendshipscimagine you are doing this reading in this text on the computer; what else are you doing? maybe youre eating a sandwich or drinking a cup of starbucks. should you eat while reading? there arent many believable numbers, but we do know the number of people who eat while sitting in front of some type of screen is growing. a recent study found that 33 percent of families always have the tv on during meal times and another 27 percent people have it on at least half the time. another 10 percent may be texting, emailing or talking on a cell phone while eating.any type of these behaviors is bad, considering the following evidence:a canadian study found that children who watch more than three hours of cartoons a day are 50 percent more likely to be fat than children who watch fewer than two hours. the researchers concluded that more than 60 percent of overweight incidents can be connected with screen watching too much.a three-week study found that adults who usually play with smartphones less burned 119 more calories per day.one chicago researcher found that people eat more potato chips while reading online than when they have the laptop turned off. there has been very little investigation(调查) into eating with your eyes staring at a screen or reading a book, but it is likely that his mindless eating is related to weight gain. simply speaking, your brain has no idea what is going on with your mouth because it is occupied by other things. you dont notice how full your stomach is, and you often dont even notice the taste or the act of chewing and swallowing, as a result of which, developing an adapted dietary habit is a must.64. the author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with _.a. stories and explanations b. examples and investigations c. an argument and evidence d. facts and descriptions65. which of the following statement is true?a. being focused while eating is a good way to have a good figure.b. adults weight is not affected by their eating habits.c. there exist many investigations into eating while reading. d. this text must be found on a website.66. what can be the best title of this passage? a. how should you lose weight? b. should you do other things while eating?c. healthy and unhealthy eating habitsd. tv and eating 67. what will the author probably continue to write?a. express healthy eating ways.b. give more useful investigations into eating. c. describe the study about the old who watch less tv while eating. d. tell the proper ways to watch tv. ddear dean,it is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the lab. i strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers. we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find cds and gifts, or as a place where the students can research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? as a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future, since many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work. while they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. they are asked to create powerpoint presentations and research many topics on the internet. being able to do projects using the computer also gives students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find. since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. if there are more new and faster computers accessible, students will be able to complete their
