I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in 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 returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers，” she said.“Yes, she s 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 shes the one ，”Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can t figure out why she d 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 times were tough and we didnt have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and of course I miss him since he s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.

Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”28What s the result of the research mentioned in the text?A. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.B. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.29It was found in the research that_.A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried outB. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetariansC. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetariansD. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians30Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)_way.A. doubtful B. favorable C. negative D. objective31What s the best title for the text?A. Get more IQ points! B. Be a vegetarian, please!C. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian D. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk DDear Mom, Clear My CalendarSeptember is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summers end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young childs schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a childs day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术). Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves. David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a childs confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.A childs time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until its time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. Thats too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But lets be honest with ourselves our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young childs.32. The author holds that its a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _.A. a childs schedule is too complexB. activities suitable for kids are limitedC. parents are stuck in numerous choicesD. children always say no to parents advice33. What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that _. A. children love to stay at school B. they are popular with childrenC. children dislike after-school classesD. after-school classes are of poor quality 34. According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes? A. Parents want to make up for their own regrets. B. After-school classes develop childrens potential.C. Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children. D. After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.35. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. For childrens benefits, the earlier the better. B. Childrens spare time should be carefully designed.C. Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past. D. Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.,第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Giacomo Puccini was born in 1855 and was a son of a musical director. 36 He is remembered as a master of opera. 37 Many early forerunners of Impressionistic Music including Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, inspired him greatly.Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccinis most popular and most performed works.Its a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 38 In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 39 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in south China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 40 In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.A. During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.B. At the end of the 18th century, it was first translated into English.C. Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera.D. Puccinis operas are strong in emotion and conflict.E. Turandot is performed regularly all over the world.F. The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccinis death.G.
