The only sound was my sisters heavy _36_ from the bed next to me. I couldnt go to _37_, partly because of my cold and partly because of my _38_ for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a _39_ . Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough _40_ to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright _41_ hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow. My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasnt she _42_ too? Did she know about tomorrow? I couldnt stand the _43_ anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the _44_ and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down. Then I walked downstairs to look for some _45_of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, _46_ me as he meowed (猫叫) his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (长沙发), sitting up on his front legs, 47 something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, “Im _48_, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it. In one movement I settled down onto the soft 49 . This couch represented my birth, my parents marriage, and hundreds of other little _50_. As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was _51_ with questions: Whats life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiators body, I had a _52_ thought; each touch sang a different song. I forgot all about the _53_ and the next days surprise. The _54_ was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries _55_ move away. 36.

Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Terrible weather, isnt it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isnt it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isnt it?”56. Small talk is _. A. a kind of conversation with short wordsB. a greeting used when people meet each otherC. to let people disagree about somethingD. something we talk about to start a conversation57. The favorite topic of small talk for English people is _. A. the weatherB. politicsC. gamesD. languages58. The passage suggests that when we learn a language _. A. we should learn about the transport system of the countryB. we should only master the grammar and the vocabularyC. we should learn the culture of the countryD. we should understand the importance of the language59. When we say “Great game, isnt it?”, we are in fact _. A. asking a questionB. having a conversationC. greeting each otherD. making small talk60. What we learn from the passage is that _. A. different languages have different grammarB. small talk is an important part of a languageC. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationD. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather B Grownups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion（视觉影像）of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch , and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24- week -old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grownups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16weekold and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted（替换）a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week -old babies did not seem to notice the switch（更换）. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of“something permanence, ”while the 22weekold babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 61. The passage is mainly about _. A. babies sense of sight B. effects of experiments on babies C. babies understanding of objects D. different tests on babies feelings 62. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence”means that when out of sight, an object _. A. still exists B. keeps its shape C. still stays solid D. is beyond reach 63. What did Bower use in his experiments? A. A chair. B. A screen. C. A film. D. A box. 64. Which of the following statements is true? A. The babies didnt have a sense of direction. B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. D. The babies couldnt tell a ball from its optical illusion.

Thousands of these How to books are on sale; in fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words How to One book may tell you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your money away.

If you want to have a better love of life, you can read How to Succeed at Love Every Minute of Your Life.? If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer a book called How to Make Yourself miserable.Many of these books help people use their time better. Some people want books which will give them useful information about sports, hobbies, and travel. Other people use their free time to make repairs and improvements on their homes. They prefer books which give step by step instruction on how to repair things like plumbing (卫生管道工程) and electrical wiring, or on how to redecorate (重新装饰) or enlarge a house. Why have How to books become so popular? Probably because life has become so complex(复杂). Today people have far more free time to use, more choices to make, and more problems to solve.
