and he always needed a bath. she did not like him. then mrs. thompson got to know that teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. mrs. thompson was ashamed of herself. she felt even worse when, like all her other students, teddy brought her a christmas present too. it was his mothers perfume(香水)。 teddy said, “mrs. thompson, today you smell just like my mom used to.” after

could find their way across the sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. one theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. research being carried out at liverpool university supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says jim maryland, research director of the project. “however, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”jim maryland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. he makes the following suggestions:l if you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.l if you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a treesomething easy to recognize. note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. when you return, go back along thesame route. l simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.now you will never get lost again!53. scientists believe that _.a. some babies are born with asense of directionb. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderc. people never lose their sense of directiond. everybody has a sense of direction from birth54. what is true of 7-year-old children according to the passage?a. they never have a sense of direction without maps.b. they should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.c. they have a sense of direction and can find their way around.d. they can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.55. if you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.a. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenb. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isc. avoid taking the same route when you come back to itd. remember something easily recognizable on the route56. according to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.a. ask policemen or other people around for directionsb. use wells, streams, and streets to guide yourselfc. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsd. count the number of landmarks that you seedyoung men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. this tradition may have come from turkey. in the 1700s in turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. the baskets were delivered secretly to the person who was receiving it. usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the persons door. these baskets included a variety of “gifts”: flowers, stones, feathers, wax, and even charcoal. each thing in the basket had a special meaning. by figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feeling of the person who sent it. this idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to germany, france, and england. however, as time passed, only flowers remained popular. an innocent bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feeling in the hearts of young men. each different flower held a different meaning. for example, the flowers from an orange tree meant, “you are beautiful and pure.” pink carnations meant, “my love for you is strong and great.” yellow roses, on the other hand, meant, “i saw you with someone else.” many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. not all of the dictionaries agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send. by the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.57. what did the items in the basket explain to the receiver? a. the receivers appearance.b. the senders emotions. c. the feeling of the receiver.d. the love between them.58. if a french young man of the 1850s wanted to send his beloved girl a gift, he would probably choose . a. flowers and feathersb. yellow roses c. pink carnationsd. nothing except a love letter59. the text suggests that . a. turks still keep their tradition of sending baskets b. flower dictionaries were made to help young ladies c. people still use flowers to send secret messages d. people dont use flower dictionaries any longer60. what is likely to be the title of this text? a. say it with flowersb. flowers and secretsc. strange traditiond. love for flowers第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。a. to be happy.b. to look good.c. to remain
