When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later commented on my dads thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I dont know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.56.My dad offered help to the soldier and his friend in the restaurant probably because_.A. he wanted to thank them for all they had doneB. he wanted to know more about themC. he wanted the waitress to thank him D. he wanted the soldiers to know his kindness 57.

The passage mainly tells us that we should _ _.A. find ways to thank others B. learn to be grateful to othersC. try to learn from each other D. respect soldiers and waitressesBWhen you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet? A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers-free of charge-for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet. Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and theyll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.” The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.” In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.60. The best title for the passage is _. A. Question Box - taking the place of the Internet B. Needing an answer? - asking Question Box C. Question Box - a great invention in the world D. Rose Shuman - a professor helping the poor61. In Rose Schumans opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that_. A. it is the most advanced in the world B. it is more convenient to carry. C. it saves much more energy D. it is much easier to use 62. The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to_. A. the users B. the operators C. the researchers D. Question Box workers63. What can we know from the passage? A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet. B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language. C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas. D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.CIts enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during their working lives, research has shown. You wont be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone who only chat for an average of three years.Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women. But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations. More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal call (10 minutes ) as on a business one. Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll (民意调查) found. However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say “Someones at the door.” Other favorites include “Im cooking” and “I need to go to the toilet”.Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak to the caller. One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did not mind calls up to midnight. Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they should ring but never got round to doing so. Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, “As a nation, we love to chat on the phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime.”64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime. B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.65. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says “Sorry, someones at the door ”, he or she probably means _ .A. he/she is going to the toiletB. he/she wants to stop chatting C. he/she is too tired to talk any longerD. he/she must go to open the door for someone66. From the text, we know that _ .A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some peopleB. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone callC. people never ring the people in their address booksD. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled67. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that _ .A. its no wonder that we all love to chat on the phoneB. people in many countries love to chat on the phoneC. people insist on often phoning their family and friendsD. the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpectedD Scientists have argued for long over whether birds show real intelligence. Some scientists believe birds have abilities including communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their abilities seem better than those of humans. Irene Pepperberg, a birds expert, did research about a grey parrot named. Griffin. Ms. Pepperberg says Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food. The researcher says experts had thought that only humans and other mammals with large brains have the ability to combine objects and words. She believes that bird brains hav
