if it just happened.on an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. “jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.” he said. i guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.he took the skirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day youre alive is a special occasion.”im thinking about his words, and theyve changed the way i live my life. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. “someday” and “one of these days” are losing their importance on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now.ever since that day, i have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. so cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.56. what does the underlined word “cherish” mean?a. treasure.b. waste.c. own.d. save.57. from his experience, the author learns that .a. everybody can have a happy life through effortsb. every day in our lives is worth cherishingc. enjoying ourselves is the most important thing in our livesd. everybody will have some things left to do after his death58. what does the author write this passage for?a. to show how to make good use of every day in life.b. to explain the true meaning of his brother-in-laws words.c. to tell people to cherish every day and find the meaning of life.d. to encourage people to waste time and enjoy themselves in life.59. whats the best title for this passage?a. every day is a gift b. my sister janc. what is the meaningful life liked. the most important time in your lifebmona lisa, the mysterious woman in leonardo da vincis 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the paining, a french art expert said on tuesday. the discovery was made by a team of canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线)and three-dimensional(三维的) technology to study the paint layers on the work, which now sits in the louvre museum in paris. bruno mottin of the french museums centre for research and restoration said that on very close examination of the paining it became clear that the mona lisas dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil（透明面纱）. “this type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. this is something that had never been seen up to now because the paining was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine,” he told a news conference. “we can now say that this paining by leonardo da vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of mona lisa ,which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503.” the young woman with the mysterious smile has been identified as lisa gherardini, the wife of florentine merchant francesco de giocondo. she had five children. “people always wrote that mona lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. this greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue,” he said. the team had hoped to discover more details about leonardos painting technique, which the artist used to create a hazy(朦胧的) effect. but scientist john taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke（笔触）detail on the paining.60. according to the latest research , mona lisa was_. a. a woman of poor virtue b. da vincis second wife c. a woman who was pregnant. d. the wife of a florentine merchant61. the information reported in the text was first got from _. a. a newspaper b. the internet c. a news conference d. the museum. 62. we can infer from the text that _. . a. the research has been carried out in france b. mona lisa was painted in 1503 at the latest c. in de vincis time women could only wear short hair d. the most difficulty is to identify the paint layers of mona lisa63. what is probably the best title for the test? a. mona lisa, the mysterious woman b. mona lisa was a new mother c. great discovery in painting d. leonardos painting techniqueccold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. for centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the emotions. people who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. they may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. for example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. the killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. he seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someones life meant nothing.cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. but there is an expressionto get cold feetthat has nothing to do with cold or your feet. the expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. for example, you agree to be president of an organization. but then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. you are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation. cold can also affect your shoulder. you give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. you treat them in a distant and cold way. the expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. you may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others. a cold fish is not a fish. it is a person. but it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. out in the cold is an expression often heard. it means not getting something that everybody else got. a person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. and it is not a pleasant place to be. 64. the passage is intended to tell us that _ . a. cold weather has a great effect on human bodiesb. many english expressions contain the word “cold”c. cold is a word closely linked with human emotionsd. the word “cold” has many different meanings in english65. the underlined word “brutal” in paragraph 1 most probably means “_”. a. impolite b. illegal c. cruel d. extreme66. which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others? a. cold-blooded. b. to get cold feet. c. a cold shoulder. d. a cold fish. 67. you can say tom _ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize. a. is given the cold shoulder b. is left out in the coldc. has got cold feet d. is murdered by a cold-blooded killerd“hiv and aids has come knocking on everyones door,” says 17-year-old yetarik, a member of the anti-aids association “tabor wegagan” in awassa, south central ethiopia. but when yetarik and other members of the association try to provide information about hiv infection, they still face unfriendliness from some people. “they blame us for having hiv and for its spread,” yetarik says. “every time i am faced with this attitude, i know that we have to work even harder.” tabor wegagan was founded six years ago by a group of young people who wanted to tell other children about the disease destroying their country. they began by practicing what they lecture. “all 20 of us decided to have ourselves tested for hiv to prove our own condition and to be an example for other youth to follow,” says yetarik.then, with help from a local non-governmental organization, the association trained “peer educators” to spread the word about hiv among young people. each of these peer educators is responsible for gathering a group of five to ten adolescents and sharing information about hiv twice a week for a period of two months.the association also creates and performs plays on subjects related to hiv and aids, such as the discrimination (歧视) hiv-positive people face in ethiopia. and it runs a football team and a small circus, which both present more opportunities to spread awareness about the epidemic(流行病) and fight against stigma（耻辱）“our goal is not only to equip young people with the knowledge and skills that are needed to survive this epidemic, but also to develop a more caring community that does not simply abandon unfortunate victims out of ignorance and fear,” says yetarik. “we want a society that finds the heart and sympathy to take care of them and ease their suffering as much as possible.”68. the underlined sentence in t
