thinking about it and i will ask you again soon.”several years passed before she asked me again. since making my first _39_，i had often thought over the question. so this time i told her，“mummy，it must be our eyes.” she looked at me and said，“you are _40_ fast，but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”_41_ the years，mother asked me a couple more _42_ and always her response to my answer was，“no，but you are getting _43_ every year，my child.” then last year，my grandpa _44_.everyone was heartbroken. everybody was crying. my mum looked at me when it was our _45_ to say our final goodbye to grandpa. she asked me，“do you know the most important body part yet，my dear？”i was_46_ when she was asking me this now. i always thought this was a _47_ between her and me. she saw the _48_ on my face and told me，“this question is very important. it shows that you have really_49_ your life.” i saw her eyes well up with tears. she said，“my dear，the most important body part is your _50_.”i asked，“is it because they hold up your head？” she replied，“no，it is _51_ on them a crying friend or a loved one can rest his or her head. i only hope that you have enough _52_ and

me.recently，however，i told him i didnt want him to plan one for my upcoming birthday.“why？” he asked.“i am embarrassed being the center of attention，” i quickly explained.later，i began to think more deeply about this reason. then i remembered the surprise celebration i had planned for my friend nancy on her 60th birthday. we were roommates on a threeweek tour following the silk road on those famous steppes (大草原)and through the mountainsof central asia.that afternoon we had arrived at our hotel in samarkand，uzbekistan. the young man at the hotel desk told me about a bakery about 10 minutes away. after giving me detailed directions，he added，“your nose will let you know when you arrive there.”the temperature was 40 .soon，my_olfaction proved to be an unfailing guide. outside the bakery，a delicious smell greeted me.there were several kinds of breads，cookies，and cakes on display. there were also beautiful iced cakes. i chose a cake topped with powdered sugar.later at the karim bek restaurant，nancy didnt see the young waiter walk up the steps with the cake.when i began singing“happy birthday，”everyone at our tableexcept nancyjoined in.it took her a moment to realize what was happening. then the grinning (咧嘴笑的) guest of honor thanked me，blew out the candles on the cake，and ate three pieces of it.today，after reliving this experience in my mind，i told my husband to ignore my request.i now understand what a surprise party is about：it is not about having a surprise party but rather the delight in giving it. that is what brings the satisfying joy.56why did the author go to the bakery?ato get some bread for her journey.bto experience the local taste in samarkand.cto buy a birthday cake for her friend.dto eat some iced cakes to cool herself down.57the underlined words “my olfaction” in paragraph 7 most probably refer to_.athe waiter at the hotel bthe authors sense of smellcthe authors friend dthe authors map58the party held at the karim bek restaurant was_.avery successful ba little simplecquite boring dtoo noisy59from the last paragraph we learn that now the author_.abecomes less interested in surprise partiesbthinks surprise parties are embarrassingcenjoys giving others surprisesdrealizes the true meaning of surprise parties60from the passage，we can not infer that_.athe authors birthday is comingbthe authors husband loves her very muchcthe author and nancy have been roommates for three weeksdthe author has already spent her 60th birthdaybafter a very busy afternoon，as i walked into my house，i heard the phone ringing. it was my friend lydia，upset over an argument with her husband. my usual approach is to offer advice，but this time，exhausted from chores，i simply sat down in a chair and listened to my friends frustration and sadness. without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her，i stayed totally quiet while she talked. eventually lydias depression eased and we said our goodbyes. the next day she phoned to thank me. “im so grateful for the way you helped me through this，”she said.at first i was surprised. after all，i had done nothing except be there for her. but after i had my own venting (发泄的) experience with another friend later that evening，i realized that my focused silence had some value. in fact，most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap；its listening thats rare and valuable it allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying，but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. and for the speaker，that level of understanding translates into concern and respect.unfortunately，listening isnt as easy as it sounds. thanks to schedules filled with family and work，multitasking has become a barrier (障碍) to listening. my tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my email while lydia talked that afternoon. another barrier to listening is our listening system：most of us take in only about half of whats being said during a conversation，according to the international listening association. research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute，yet think at 500 words a minute. therefore，because we think much more quickly than we speak，it is easy for us to lose our concentration when listening to speakers.while it can be hard to focus at times，its a skill worth developing. with a little practice (employing some techniques)，you can become a better listener.61why didnt the author give any advice to lydia that afternoon?abecause she thought her keeping silence was better for lydia.bbecause she didnt know how to comfort lydia.cbecause she was too tired to talk to lydia.dbecause she couldnt cut in while lydia was talking.62in paragraph 2，the author mainly talks about_.athe importance of listeningbthe importance of venting angercher own listening experiencedher own venting experience63the author uses the result of the research in paragraph 4 to mainly show that_.awe think much more quickly than we speakbwe can only understand about half of what we hearcthere is not much thinking time available while we are listeningdwe lose our concentration easily while we are listening64what will be discussed following the passage?awhy listening is valuable.bwhat we should do while listening.chow to become a good listener.dhow to stop drifting off while listening.65the first paragraph serves as a(n)_aexplanation bintroductionccomment dbackgroundcthe name england comes from the words “angle land”the angles were people who came from northern germany in the 5th and 6th centuries，after the romans had left.the french name for england is angleterre，which also means “angle land”there were also invasions (侵略) of southern england by saxons and jutes (people from another part of northern germany)english people are sometimes called anglosaxons.the celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into scotland，ireland，cornwall and into western france (the area known as brittany)england at first became a series of kingdoms，the strongest of which was wessex (the name comes from westsaxon)the names of many of the areas in england come from this periodfor example，the name sussex comes from southsaxon，essex from eastsaxon，and east anglia from eastangle.the vikings then came from denmark，and later the normans invaded from france. eventually england，wales，scotland and northern ireland were united，forming the united kingdom.the english language is the main language spoken throughout england，although there are many different accents.it can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some english words，because the language has been influenced by latin and greek (languages used at the time of the romans，and used in religion and education until recent times)，german (the language of the angles，saxons and jutes)，french(the language of the normans)，gaelic/scots (celtic languages) and danish (the language of the vikings)there are now many people throughout the united kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language；mainly due to immigration (移民) from europe or the commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the british empire)66according to the first paragraph，which of the following statements is not true?athe romans were forced to leave england when the jutes attacked there.bthe celts used to live in england but left for some reason.csouthern england once was attacked by saxons and jutes.dangles and saxons came from different parts of northern germany.67in the history of england，_once was the strongest kingdom.asussex bwessexcessex deast anglia68what can we learn from the third paragraph?aenglish words are hard to spell and to pronounce.bengland had been invaded by most of the countries of europe.cthe english language was influenced by several foreign languages.dits hard for people who have different english accents to communicate.69why do many people in the uk speak a foreign language nowadays?abecause they are required to learn a foreign language at school.bbecause they plan to live outside the uk in the future.cbecause they have moved from other countries.dbecause they have worked in other countries.70the author writes this passage to_.atell the history of englandbtell how the united kingdom was formedcintroduce the main spoken language throughout englanddtell the origin of the name of englanddteens are more likely to behave badly if their parents expect them to，a new us study has found.“parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually be having a bad effect on their children，” christy buchanan，a teacher at wake forest university and one of the authors of the study，said. “bad expectations on the part of both parents
