was forced to take her own children to court. treating the old well is a traditional virtue in china. for those who dont, it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:dear son, the day that you see me old and i am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me. if i get dirty when eating, if i can not dress, please have patience and remember the hours i spent teaching it to you. if, when i speak to you, i repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. when you were small, i had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. when i do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. remember when i had to chase you with thousand excuses i invented in order that you didnt want to bathe. when you see my knowing little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄). i taught you how to do so many things: to eat food, to dress well, to confront life.when at some moment i lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if i cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me. if ever i do not want to eat, do not force me. i know well when i need to and when not. when my tired legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way i did when you gave your first step. and when someday i say to you that i do not want to live any more - that i want to rest forever, do not get angry. someday you will understand. try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, i always wanted the best thing for you and i tried to prepare the way for you. please be next to me, try to understand me and help me as i did it when you started living. i will pay you by a smile and by the immense love i have had always for you. i love

in beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations, she explained.since june 2008 china has forbidden the production, sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers (零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers, no matter how thick they are.many chinese consumers like xumei have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. a plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but its more about how bad they are for the environment, jiang said.the plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities, and has been obviously effective in reducing white waste. on the first anniversary of the plastic ban global village of beijing, an ngo environmental organization, shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petrol. however, enforcement (实施) shows less effective in smaller cities, towns and countryside. in a remote town like lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. street vendors (街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag trade in the market.there are still those who dont have an interest in living green. liu yun, another beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. anyway i think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and i dont mind paying a couple more jiao, he shrugged. mrs yu, a vegetable vendor in lichuan county, jiangxi province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. plastic bags are more convenient, she comments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. this is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.61. how did xumei get her cloth bags? a. she got them for free. b. she borrowed them from her relatives. c. she bought them at a low price. d. she made them herself. 62. in paragraph 1, the writer uses xumeis case to _. a. tell a story b. introduce a topic c. describe a person d. offer an argument 63. which is not the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping? a. cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry. b. peoples awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough. c. people dont mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags. d. street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them. 64. what does the underlined phrase “cling to” in the last paragraph mean? a. stop using b. stay close to c. hold tightly d. continue to use65. what message does the writer mostly want to tell us in the passage? a. to reduce white waste is urgent. b. the plastic bag ban has achieved great success. c. there is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban. d. peoples awareness of environmental protection should be stressed.c space is always attractive to humans. ever since the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations，human beings have been putting great effort into space research. and so far，we have achieved many successes. but there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying to progress.the international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. it is not only helpful but also essential. it provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. it is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. it could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and mars. in a word，if we want to explore space more，the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.as the space station costs a lot of money，it is hard for one country alone to establish one. the usa seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so，but not very successful. so it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. though it is still extremely expensive，it is much cheaper than doing it alone. it is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.but even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. as for the usa，it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. although it is the richest country in the world，it has much debt every year. it has to make arrangements about its finance，and try to find a balance in all these issues.66. from paragraph 2 we learn that _. a.the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now b.many experiments have been done in the international space station c.the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more d.people have traveled to mars from the international space station67. which of the following is not a reason for countries cooperation in building the international space station? athat it requires a lot of money. bthat it needs everyones effort. cthat it is too far away from the earth. dthat it will benefit every participating country. 68. in the process of building a space station ,which statement below is correct ? a. america is not willing to cooperate with other countries to build a space station . b. america united other countries to build a space station together. c. other countries scolded america for not working on building a space station together. d. other countries are forbidden to build a space station alone because only america has such an ability.69. what is the authors attitude towards building and developing the international space station? adoubtful. bcritical. cindifferent dsupportive. 70. which of the following aspects about building the international space station is not mentioned in the passage? adifficulties. bcooperatio
