But as my parents could not speak much English, I had to 42 conversations they had with the customers, switching between English and Chinese. Whenever I stepped outside the 43 , it seemed I was entering a world 44 to my family. But I found it hard to imagine a home other than Irvine. For my mother, home would always be China, 45 she lived in Irvine. Every time she talked about 46 times, they were during her childhood in that 47 land.

Of course, this is an unusual story. Most college graduates would not do so. However, studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences. For example, instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did, a 15-year-old may dream about becoming a traveller only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive. The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older maybe that people generally have similar life patterns and demands. Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older, they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness, which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the persons life. New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity, and so most people prefer to stay with the familiar. However, not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten. Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologist（心理学家） argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest in novelty than women, although as they age, this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women.56. The first paragraph serves as a（n）_.A. explanation B. introduction C. comment D. background57. What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new experiences?A. Responsibility. B. Partner. C. Age. D. Education. 58. The underlined phrase “interest in novelty” most probably means _. A. independence B. excitement C. security D. curiosity59. According to the passage, we can infer that _. A. as one gets older, he prefers the old patterns of life B. a teenager is not interested in a new start before graduation C. women are more likely to try new things than men of the same age D. a child who likes different games may not like to change after growing upBThe room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall, with a large pot at one end. The master, helped by two women, served the soup from this pot at meal times. Each boy was allowed one bowl of soup and no more. The bowls never needed washing, as the boys cleaned them with their spoons, trying to eat every bit of soup. Boys usually have excellent appetites. Oliver Twist and his companions slowly starved for three months until finally, they became quite wild with hunger. There was one boy who was tall for his age and had a wild, hungry look in his eye. He told his friends he had to have another bowl of soup each day. If not, he was afraid that one night he might eat the small young boy sleeping next to him. The boys had a meeting and decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening. They wrote their names on pieces of paper and picked one out. It was Oliver Twist who was chosen. In the evening, the boys sat down at the tables. The master stood by the pot, and the soup was served. It disappeared quickly. The boys whispered and made signs to Oliver. He stood up from the table and went to the master, with his bowl and spoon in his hands. “Please, sir,” he said, “I want some more.” The master was a fat, healthy man, but he went very pale. “What?” said the master at last in a quiet voice. “Please, sir,” repeated Oliver, “I want some more.” The master hit Oliver with his spoon, then seized him and cried for help. Mr Bumble rushed into the room, and the master told him what Oliver had said. “He asked for more?” Mr Bumble cried. “I cannot believe it. One day they will hang the boy.” He took Oliver away and shut him in a dark room. The next morning a notice appeared on the workhouse gate. Five pounds were offered to anybody who would take Oliver Twist. 60. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the boys suffered from hunger in the workhouse B. the master showed great mercy to the poor boys C. Oliver was lucky enough to be chosen as a hero D. the big boy was strong enough to get food for the others61. The master went pale because he was _. A. nervous B. sick C. surprised D. disappointed62.

Oliver Tricks His Master D.

DOnce the animal rights group PETA announced it would award $1 million to the first person to figure out a way to make in vitro meat (试管肉) commercially practical. In theory, this seems like an excellent idea, with the potential to ease the burden on the environment from meat production, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve human health. In practice, however, the chances of anyone actually winning the prize seem slim. Scientists first began working with test-tube proteins（蛋白质）, grown from animal cells in the lab. The technology was originally supposed as a means to make food for astronauts to take on long space tasks; in 2000, the first eatable test-tube muscle（肌肉） protein was created. Soon after, scientists realized the broader suitability of the technology and began developing it to feed people all over the world.Scientists first collect stem or satellite muscle cells from an animal. The cells are then placed in a nutrient-rich medium where they divide and multiply, and are then attached to a structure（结构） and put in a bioreactor to grow. After several w
