last week, i took my children to a restaurant. my six-year-old son asked me if he could pray (祈祷). as we bowed our heads, he said, “god is good. god is great. thank you for the food, and i would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream. and liberty and justice for all! amen!”along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, i heard a woman saying, “thats whats wrong with this country. kids today even dont know how to pray. asking god for ice cream! why? i never!” hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, “did i do it wrong? is god mad at me?”as i told him that he had done a good job and god was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman came to the table. he said, “i happen to know that god thought you were a great prayer.” “really?” my son asked. “im sure,” the man replied. then he added, “the woman never asks god for ice cream. a little ice cream is good for the soul (心灵) sometimes.”naturally, i bought my kids ice creams at the end of the meal. my son stared at it for a moment, and then did something i will never forget for the rest of my life. he picked up his ice cream and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. with a big smile he told her, “here, this is for you. ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already.”41. the woman thought that _.a. the boy was too young to pray b. the boy shouldnt ask god for ice creamc. theres something wrong with the boy d. the boy should keep silent before the meal42. the boy cried because _.a. he didnt get the ice cream he asked for b. his mother was angry

environment. animals become endangered for a variety of reasons.some animals become endangered when their habitats contain resources for humans. for example, commercial forest cutting in the amazon rainforest has seriously reduced the population of many animal species and lead to the extinction of other groups. land itself is an important resource to humans since it provides us with living space, and when people replace animal habitats with human habitats, it can lead to larger loss of natural species.commercial and industrial operations may reduce land or water for animals and pollute their environment. due to water pollution, the baiji, a fresh water dolphin native to china, was declared extinct, meaning its unlikely the population can recover. even noise pollution from human activities can lead to the disorder of animal behavior. another cause that makes animals become endangered is over-fishing or over-hunting. over-hunting whales led to near extinction of many species of whales.the introduction of a non-native species to a habitat may make animals become endangered. the native species may not defend against a new one, and the effects can be dangerous. in australia, the introduction of the common house cat led to the extinction of the red-fronted parakeet and has seriously damaged the populations of several small animals.introduced species can also bring new diseases with them. as a result, animals become endangered. native animals may not have the power to fight against non-native diseases, and population levels can suffer. another cause of disease is human-introduced chemicals. the use of ddt is believed to be one of the leading causes in driving the california condor to near extinction.when animals become endangered, the entire food chain can be affected. for example, in 2008 disease seriously harmed the honeybee, which is largely responsible for pollinating(授花粉) plants, including many fruits and vegetables. without their pollination, a very large part of the human diet could be reduced. in fact, if the honeybee should become extinct, our life would be affected and billions of dollars would be lost. therefore, many people argue that when animals become endangered it is in mans own self-interest to protect them.45. the passage is mainly about _.a. ways of protecting animals habitats b. effects caused by species endangermentc. dangers of bringing in non-native species d. reasons why animals become endangered46.which of the following examples shows that environmental pollution may cause species endangerment?a. the extinction of the whales. b. the extinction of the red-fronted parakeet.c. the decreasing population of the dolphin. d. the effect of the honeybee on the human diet.47. why is it dangerous to introduce a non-native species to a habitat?a. native species are likely to die from the new diseases.b. its hard for non-native species to survive.c. non-native species will take up more space.d. native species are so powerful for non-native species.48. the california condor is in danger of dying out because of _.a. loss of habitatb. harmful chemicals c. forest cuttingd. unfamiliar diseases49. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. humans are to blame for species extinctionb. small animals mean little to the whole food chainc. protection of the honeybee has cost billions of dollarsd. humans protect animals for the benefit of themselves cfear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. we need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond. being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age. those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.childrens fears are often trivial, but that doesnt mean they should be ignored. they need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them.research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot. things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.we can not always prevent these experiences from happening, but its essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears. read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. this helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. with all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.50. according to paragraph 2, we can know that fears in young children_. .a. only center on frightening animalsb. are not born but learnedc. can make sure of their safetyd. need special help to deal with51. the underlined word “trivial” in the third paragraph probably means “_”.a. smallb. seriousc. harmfuld. common52. in dealing with childrens fears, the final goal of the parents is to _.a. stop unpleasant experiences happening to children b. let children know about the nature of fearc. create an environment where there is nothing to feard. develop childrens ability to treat their fear on their own53. from the passage we can learn that _ .a. some childhood fears may have a lasting influenceb. children should avoid the media to reduce their fearc. fears can be judged according to the environmentd. children with similar fears can communicate easily54. whats the best title for this passage?a. how to overcome childrens fearsb. childrens fearsc. the kind of childrens fearsd. the bad effects of fears di was puzzled! why was this old woman making such a complaint about our way to deal with an old bush which was of no use to anybody? she had written letters to the local paper, even to a national to protest about our projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive. i was more than puzzled, i was intrigued (好奇的). i wanted to know what it was that motivated her. so it was that i found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by mary smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.“ive always loved this place”, she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. we all used it. they called it lovers lane. its not much of a lane, and it doesnt go anywhere important, but thats why we all came here. to be away from people, to be by ourselves.” she added.it was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. i could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so i felt that she probably had something there but as i hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, i said nothing. the village was quite a distant and dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old womans whims (怪念头).“take this tree”, she said pausing after a short while. “to you it is just that, a tree. not unlike many others here”. she gently touched the bark. “look here, under this branch, what can you see?”“it looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife” i said after a cursory (草率的) inspection.“yes, thats what it is!” she said softly. “there are letters and a lovers heart”.i looked again, this time more carefully. the heart was still there and there was an arrow through it. the letters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an r was clearly visible with what looked like an i after it. “some budding romance?” i asked, “did you know who they were?”“oh yes, i knew them”, said mary smith, “it says rh loves ms”.after a pause, she went on “he had a penknife and i helped him to carve my initials（最初的，首字母的）. we were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. i had guessed of course. it was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his unit.”mary smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed, “his mother showed me the telegram. sergeant r holmes . killed in action in the invasion of france.”i realized that i could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, away from here and this old lady, snug, and with a cup of tea in my hand.there was a further pause. mary smith gently touched the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “and now they want to take our tree away from me.” another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “i was young and pretty then, i could have had anybody, i wasnt always the old woman you see here now. i could have had everything i wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forwards to”.she paused again and looked around. the breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “there were others, of course, but not a patch on my robin!” she said strongly. “
