though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. after many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when i told her that her room was ready.as she walked slowly to the elevator, i provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets(布帘) that had been hung on her window. “i love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“mrs. jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “that doesnt matter,” she replied. “happiness is something you decide ahead of time. whether i like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture（家具） is arranged. its how i arranged my mind. i have already decided to love it. its a decision i make every morning when i wake up. each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories ive stored away.” she went on to explain, “old age is like a bank account. you take what youve put in. so, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” and with a smile, she said, “all my memories are happy ones.”mrs. jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108. 56. we can infer from the passage that the author_.a. is one of mrs. jones children b. is a relative of mrs. jonesc. works in the nursing home d. is the owner of the nursing home57. the room in which the old lady will live_.a. is very comfortable b. is fairly bigc. isnt well equipped (装备) d. is equipped with new furniture58. mrs. jones was very happy when told about her room because she_.a. couldnt see what her room was likeb. thought the nursing home was her homec. would have to live in the nursing homed. had already made up her mind to be happy59. which of the following words can best describe mrs. jones?a. proud. b. cheerful. c. determined d. honestb cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. when people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were. many people like the action of cheating. it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again. people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and may be at home, too. some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating, even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea. if you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. and if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with you parents about how to balance swimming and school. a kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.60. the author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.a it is unfair to other people. b it does harm to their health.c teachers should punish them. d teachers shouldnt stop them at once.61. some students like cheating mainly because_.a the material in the test is very difficult. b they want to do better than the others.c cheating can make hard things seem very easy.d they have little time to study their lessons.62. the fourth paragraph mainly tells us_.a some kids cant pass the test without cheating b why kids cheat in the test.c. cheating isnt a good idea. d some kids dont spend the time studying.63. we can learn from the passage _.a cheaters are often thought highly ofb people show no respect for those who cheat.c parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.d kids cheat in the test because of swim practice. cthese are some signs that you can see on the roads of great britain.number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. when drivers see this sign they must not go at more than thirty miles an hour. we see this sign when we get to parts of the country where there are many houses and other buildings, for example, when we are getting near a town. thirty miles an hour is the speed limit. number two is a sign for the end of the speed limit. we are out of the town now and may go at more than thirty miles an hour. number three is a sign that we are near a crossroads, that is, a place where two roads cross. we must drive carefully. number four is a sign that there is a bend in the road. again, we must drive slowly and carefully. number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the roads get narrow. drivers must go slowly and carefully. number seven has the word “school” on it. this is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or road. perhaps there are children going to school or leaving school. so drivers must look carefully and go slowly until they are past the school building. number eight is a sign with the letter p on it. if the driver of a car wants to leave his car and go to the shops, he looks for this sign. then he knows that he may leave his or her car there.64. who will most probably read the passage?a. people who drive badly. b. people who are learning to drive.c. people who drive well. d. people who drive carelessly.65. when a driver sees the sign number one, he must _.a. always go at 30 miles an hour b. go at more that 30 miles an hourc. not go at more than 30 miles an hour d. stop 66. a driver must drive carefully when he gets to _.a. a bend b. a crossroads c. a narrow road d. all of them67. what does the “p” stand for on number eight sign?a. parking b. pause c. pass d. patiencedmany years ago, my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious heart condition. he was unable to work a steady job. he would be fine for a while, but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to the hospital.he wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local childrens hospital. my dad loved kids. it was the perfect job for him. he ended up working with the seriously ill children. he would talk, play, and do arts with them. one of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. she couldnt do anything, and she was very depressed. my dad decided to try to help her. he started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. he stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. he didnt use his hands at all. all the while he would tell her, “see, you can do anything you set your mind to.” at the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. my dad also left the childrens hospital for a little while because he became ill. some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, but this time she was walking. she ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. she gave him a picture she had done using her hands. at the bottom it read: “thank you for helping me walk.” my dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. he would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad - who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture - loved every single child in that hospital.68. the
