After she said that, all I could think about was what kinds of clothes I would choose. To my surprise, my mom allowed me to pick out three dresses: a pink one, a blue one and a yellow one. The yellow one was my favorite.I had a best friend named Seema, whose family was even poorer than ours. We played and studied together, and spent the best days of our childhood laughing at the silly stories we made up. I was excited to show her my three beautiful new dresses. She loved them all and was happy for me, but tearfully explained to me that her father could only afford to buy her clothes for her birthday. I felt sorry, and then did something that surprised even myself: I asked her to pick out one of my dresses for herself. To my disappointment, she picked up my favoritethe yellow one. Please remember, I was only seven years. My heart almost popped out (跳出) of my chest. But as she held it against her body, and I saw how brightly she smiled, I stopped feeling any hurt. I told her it looked lovely on her.Ill always remember Seemas smile, and how at that moment nothing mattered more. When you value your friendships, nothing else matters! Were still best friends today.56. Why did the new clothes mean the universe to the author?A. She loved dressing up more than anything else.B. She thought they would make her more beautiful.C.

Children like sharing their favorite things. D. Friendship is precious (珍贵的).BHabits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on. Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided. We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others. 60. are formed little by little. A. Only good habits B. Only bad habits C. Both good habits and bad habits D. Either good habits or bad habits61. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to . A. bad habits B. good habitsC. children D. other persons62. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits? A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us. B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit. C. Because its hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits. D. Because we are forced to do them again and again. 63. According to the passage, early rising . A. has something to do with success B. is an easily formed habit C. is such a habit as should have been avoided D. is such a beneficial habit as will be keptCBUKHANNON, West VirginiaTwo rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine (矿) explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates (最新报道) on the rescuers progress.The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families werent informed of the accident until about 10 a.m.more than three hours after it happened. “Its very upsetting, but youve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mines entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group.At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4,800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen (氧气) each. The company has not released the names of the miners.The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to remove the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “We dont want to be energizing (通电) anything if its in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided (减退), authorities said. 64. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still aliveB. communication with the trapped miners was cut offC. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same timeD. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened65. If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about _ per hour. A. 1,000 feet B. 2,400 feet C. 1,200 feet D. 4,800 feet66. Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped? 67. Where can the passage be seen?A. In a magazine.B. In a newspaper.C. In a science book.D. On an advertisement.DFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that 5% are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent (智能的) life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.68. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billionB. 10 billion.C. 15 billion.D. 200 billion69. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsB. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsC. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsD. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets70. Which of these statements is True based on the information in the passage?A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.C. Scientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.D. Scientists are trying d
