no hurry as she paid for her groceries. a phd student with not a lot of money, i had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. i was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. i did not want to be late for this date. we were in boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. the woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. she smiled. it was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and i retuned her gift by smiling back. “must be a special lady,” whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said. “yes, shes special,” i said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “it s only our second date, but somehow i am just having the feeling shesthe one ，”jokingly, i added, “the only problem is that i cant figure out why shed want to date a guy like me.” “well, i think shes very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. ”my husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when tines were tough and we didnt have much money. those were incredible days; be was very romantic and-of course- i miss him since hes passed away.” i paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. there was no doubt in my mind as i walked up to her. i touched her on the shoulder and said “you were right, you know. these flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” i handed the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation. it took her a moment to realize that i was giving her the flowers i had just purchased. “you have a wonderful evening,” i said. i left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as i saw her smelling the beautiful flowers. i remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. a couple of years later, when i finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night than i won her heart . 41why

the morning. it may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. and it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce (确保) bedtime. instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students arent used to the early hour.“maybe these kids me being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says mary carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent (青春期的) sleep at browns school of medicine.carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. and, at a more basic level. she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns.carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.sleep patters change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. most adolescents prefer to stay up later at nigh and sleep later in the morning. but its not just a matter of choice their bodies are going through a change of sleep patters.all of this makes the transfer from middle school to high schoolwhich may start one hour earlier in the morning - all the more difficult , carskadon says. with their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescent are up against difficulties when it conics to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first hell. a short sleep on a desktop may be their bodys way of saying. “i need a timeout.”45. carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because _.a. it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtimeb. it is biologically difficult for students to rise earlyc. students work so late at night that they cant get up earlyd. students are so lazy that they dont like to go to school early46. the underlined phrase “nod off” most probably means “ _”.a. turn around b. agree with others c. full asleep d. refuse to work47. what might be a reason for the hard transfer middle school to high school?a. adolescents depend more on their parents.b. adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.c. adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.d. adolescents need more sleep than they used to.48. what is the test mainly about?a. adolescent heath care. b. problems in adolescent learning.c. adolescent sleep difficulties. d. changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.c for a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). they were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. there were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “come on!” my friend alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “youll feel great.” well, i had nothing against feeling great and if alex could jog every day, anyone could. so i took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. im not alone in my opinion. first of all, jogging is very hard on the body. your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. i developed foot, leg, and back problems. then i read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and i had something else to worry about. jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. secondly, i got no enjoyment out of jogging. putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. jogging is also a lonely pastime. some joggers say, “i love being out there with just my thoughts.” well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. and how could i enjoy something that brought me pain? and that wasnt just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. i never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. what a cruel way to do it! so many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? i dont jog any more, and i dont think i ever will. im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. i bicycle to work when the weather is good. im getting exercise, and im enjoying it at the same time. i could never say the same for jogging, and ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.49. from the first paragraph, we learn that in the writers neighborhood _.a. jogging became very popular b. people jogged only during the daytimec. alex organized an army of joggersd. jogging provided a chance to get together50. the underlined word “them”(paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.a. heart attacks b. back problems c. famous joggers d. physical weaknesses51. what was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?a. he felt it was worth a try. b. he was very fond of it.c. he was strongly against it. d. he thought it must be painful.52. why did the writer give up jogging two months later?a. he disliked doing exercise outside. b. he found it neither healthy nor interesting.c. he was afraid of having a heart attack.d. he was worried about being left alone. in ancient egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. however, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. once a friend and i packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. as we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “oh boy, bad day for a picnic. the weatherman says its going to rain.” i wanted to strike him on the race with the peanut butter and sandwiches. not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.several months ago i was racing to catch a bus. as i breathlessly put my handful of cash across the greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “oh that bus left rive minutes ago.” dreams of head-cutting!its not the news that makes someone angry. its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. everyone must give bad mews from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. a doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation dose it in a caring way a boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. when youre tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready ye? when you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? it makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, i would have appreciated his warning. had the greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, i probably would have said, “oh, thats all right. ill catch the next one.” big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have .53. in paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to . a. make a comparison b. introduce a topic c. describe a scene d. offer an argument54. in the writers opinion, his neighbor was _. a. friendly b. warm-hearted c. not considerate d. not helpful55. from “dreams of head-cutting!”(paragraph 3), we learn that the writer . a. was mad at the sales agent. b. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh c. wished that the sales agent would have had dreams. d. dreamed of cutting the sales agents head that night.56. what is the main idea of the text? a. delivering bad news properly is important in communication. b. helping others sin
