a. because her mother wanted to show sympathy for her.b. because her mother wanted her to be confident.c. because her mother didnt want her to be seen as a “monster”.d. because her mother thought the author looked prettier when she did that.57. which of the following is true according to the article?a. the author managed to get over her disability in high school.b. the author gave her children encouragement and love, as her mother had given her.c. the author was always confident after the accident.d. in high school the author was chosen to be president of the students union.58. the underlined sentence “each of my children has felt its invitation.” means her children _.a. each received an invitation from her motherb. didnt quite understand the meaning of her words.c. faced the same difficulty as their mother.d. benefited from their mothers words.59. which would be the best title for the article?a. my moms gift to meb. how i found my life-partnerc. my terrible childhood accidentd. disability is no shamebdo american children still learn handwriting in school? in the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. but studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10-15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much.many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. todays thinking is that short periods of practice are better. many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. after all, that is why we write.handwriting involves two skills. one is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. the other is fluency writing without having to think about it. fluency continues to develop up until high school.but not everyone masters these skills. teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.but steve graham at vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. american children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草体字), which connects the letters. but guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the college board, which administers the sat college admission test. more than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.60. we can learn _ from paragraph 1.a. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job b. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting c. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingd. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely61. which of the following is wrong for traditional handwriting in the usa? a. the students are taught by practicing a long period. b. the letters are repeated many times. c. handwriting includes two skills. d. to write in cursive is taught first.62. the best title for the passage is _.a. how to improve handwriting in schoolb. right or wrong: the death of handwritingc. handwriting involves two skillsd. handwriting lessons are on the way out63. the authors attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is_. a. negative b. objective c. critical d. optimisticccan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission(恭维).in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat.whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we preciously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.the significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.64. the underlined word swimmingly in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.a. early b. sweetly c. quickly d. smoothly65. some cats and dogs may fight when_.a. they are cold to each other b. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstand each others signalsd. they are introduced at an early age66. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_.a. have common interests b. are less different than we thoughtc. have a common body language d. are less intelligent than we expected67. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmonyb. we should knows more about animalsc. we should live in peace with animalsd. we should learn more body languagesdpalacetheatre &opera house manchesterhow to bookby phone:call ticketmaster 24 hr booking line on 0844 847 2484online:www.palaceandoperah.uk or www. ticketmaster, co. ukin person:the palace theatre ticket centre, oxford street, manchester, m1 6ft (mon-sat 10am-8pm)by post stating the performance and choice of seats, enclosing(附寄) a cheque, postal order, or your credit card details to the palace theatre ticket centre, oxford street, manchester, m1 6ft. please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.save pounds on tickets now!join live nations card for just 30 a year and enjoy a whole range of discounts and benefits. youll save money from the first time you use your live card not just on tickets, but on programmes and reduced booking fees. live card members often join the audience on opening nights or enjoy generous discounts throughout the run of a show.call 0844 499 6699 to join live card today.get it together!by getting together as a group of 10 or more you can save money on tickets for your favourite shows.group bookers benefit from a direct free telephone booking line, and dont pay booking fees. invitations to parties and book-now- pay-later programmes are all part of our great service to group bookers. join the hundreds of people already taking advantage of our group booking.call 0800 587 5007 to talk to one of our group booking assistants about your group visit to the palace theatre or opera house.for further information please call 0661 245 6609.68if you want to join live card to save money on tickets, you can call _.a. 0844 847 2484 b. 0800 587 5007 c. 0844 499 6699 d. 0161 245 660969how can you pay for a ticket when you book by post?

and like magic everyone was out the way. going home from work one night he passed a garage. and there in front of him was the answer to his problems. an old ambulance(救护车) was for sale. the red cross had been removed. but not the flashing light, and the siren. he tried the light. it flashed magnificently. he tried the siren. that too sounded impressive. he bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. it began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in germany looking reasonably clear. soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. he switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. in record time he crossed the border into austria. the big bluff was working. police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.but then the yugoslav made his big mistake. until then he had only stopped for petrol. now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing , to late realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. they stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12. 5 pounds.60. at long weekends and holidays friedrich dobl used to _. a. drive home in germany b. get caught in terrible traffic jams c. meet other foreign workers d. get to the place where he worked by a special quick route61. why did he decide to buy the ambulance?

how can you let yourself be worried by a thing like that? as though i objected to lending you money, arent i always telling you that i want to pay for myself when we go out together?“yes, and you know how i hate you paying.”“oh, how silly you are.” she said. “do you think theres anything to be ashamed of in having no money?”gordons face went bright pink. “of course there is ! its the only thing in the world there is to be ashamed of. i cant be a complete human beingi dont feel a human being unless ive got money in my pocket.”64. what gave rosemary the idea that she had hurt gordons feeling
