dogs, and a rabbit. when the house is very noisy, megan, one of the children, is quietly inventing. a year ago, the 10yearolds had to design an antismoking poster for a school project. rather than a poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.“i like people to play with things more than read and write, ” she says. so she researched her idea on the internet, found a company in china that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.paula says her daughter “thinks differently”: ideas jump into her mind. after she got sunburnt on holiday, megan invented a small plastic bracelet that changes color in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen. several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea. she also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty. “but we didnt do anything with it,” says paula.then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod she has designed. “ there is a camera on the hook, ” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if youve caught a fish or not. ”megan doesnt want to go to university. she keeps her pinkandcream bedroom tidy. paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter. “everything has to be in a certain order,” paula says. “her brothers and sisters go with the flow, but with megan, its what time will that be happening? or where am i being picked up from today? ”56. from paragraph 2, we can infer that megan _.a. is not

vacation?a. the antismoking poster.b. the ball providing water for thirsty dogs.c. the bracelet telling when to put on sunscreen.d. the fishing rod telling whether youve caught a fish.58. the

that was printed in the palo alto times. pollys son, jim, had great difficulty in school. he was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. but jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. his parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. shortly after jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. after his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper. “today we buried our 20-year-old son. he was killed in a motorcycle accident on friday night. how i wish i had known that the last time i had talked to him would be the last time. if i had only known that, i would have said to him, jim, i love you and im always so proud of you. i would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. i would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people. “when i put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., i find that the irritations really dont amount to much. “i wont get another chance to tell my son all that i would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. the last time i talked to jim was the morning of the day when he died. he called me to say, hi, mom! i just called to say i love you. you have to go to work now. bye. that day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”if there is any purpose at all for jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. you may never have another chance. do it today!60. who was jim?a. the writers relative. b. the child of the tyners.c. the president of a school board.d. an official of a school.61.

developed genetically engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!fruit from the new meat trees, developed by british scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. but when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef! “our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but its really true,” declares dr. vincent, director of the uma group, which created the amazing trees. “vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. now they can have their cake and eat it too.” although its taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. “we take the genes from cattle and put them into the cells of grape-fruit trees,” dr. vincent says. “when the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. you get the taste even the smell.” those whove tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. “i was a bit unwilling to believe at first when i sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree,” says londoner mark, who took part in a taste-test. “but it was juicy and delicious nothing leafy about it at all.”meat tree products could be on the market in great britain by the end of next year. some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat even if it grew on a tree. others love the idea. “my mouth is watering already,” says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years. 64. according to what dr. vincent said, we know that _. a. vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it later b. the idea of meat trees came from a science fiction movie c. vegetarians can eat meat from the new trees d. vegetarians can taste and even smell fruit from meat trees65. the passage tells us that _. a. meat tree products are sure to be popular with vegetarians b. most vegetarians like the taste of fruit from meat trees c. you can buy fruit from meat trees in the supermarket in great britain now d. its hard to tell fruit on meat trees from ordinary fruit without cutting in66. in paragraph 5, the author took mark for example to _. a. show he is one of the devoted vegetarians b. prove the real taste of fruit from meat trees c. tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruit d. to explain how the taste-test is given67. by writing this passage, the author wants to _. a. show readers a new achievement in gene technology b. encourage people to eat fruit from meat trees c. explain how meat is produced on trees d. tell vegetarians good news about meat treesdwhat if it isnt a dog-eat-dog world? what if caring for a dog or for a mom with alzheimers (老年痴呆症) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?researchers at the university of california, berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are born to be selfish.darwins theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers, the researchers say. rather than “every man for himself”, darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational, selfless and sympathetic characteristics. why has it taken so long for darwins central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood? “weve had too many men in social science,” berkeley psychology professor dacher keltner told me in an interview. “female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the research, which shows the h
