kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.white has a clean and pure image. that is why doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white uniforms. babies are dressed in white at baptisms（洗礼）and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. white in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity. sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “whitewash” is one such expression. at first, “whitewash” meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better. however, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.a “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. in ancient thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. the kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. in america, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”.31. the text is mainly about_.a. the history of some english idioms b. the meanings of white in english culturec. some interesting customs in english cultured. some useful english words and expressions32. which expression has an historical background?a. white elephant.b. white-collar.c. white-wash. d. white elephant sale.33. in which statement does “white” have a negative meaning?a. a boy is dressed in white at baptisms. b. a bride wears a white wedding gown.c. a girl finds a white collar job. d. a man whitewashes his crime.34. from the text we can learn that _.a. a white-elephant sale is useful to the poorb. the white color is important in our daily life c. expressions with white have different meanings d. a white-collar job used to be easy to get35. the author develops the text mainly by _.a. analyzing its cause and effect b. comparing different ideasc. providing typical examples d. following the time orderblooking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, i came across an article with the title “my top five most precious possessions”it was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination. its interesting how inanimate(无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven into a persons, and sometimes a whole familys life history.anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. it was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine: an old cardboard box filled with my childrens baby photos.a yellow pocketsized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when i was probably about seven or eight years old.a 21st birthday card from my mum. in it shes written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. she died not long after, when i was in my early twenties.a few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmothers. she was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and i think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. id like to have known her.a brooch(胸针) left to me by my muchloved grandmother. it was given to my great grandmother (her mother) by my great grandfather on his return from world war i. it is not worth anything in terms of money. however, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young mans return from world war i.how about you? id love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.36. what made the writer have the idea of writing the passage?a. her love for her relatives.b. her rich imagination about the objects.c. an article in a magazine.d. some pictures in an article.37. according to the passage, the writer _.a. lost her mother at the age of 26b. was a mother of several childrenc. got the yellow birthday book at 8d. studies botany well when she was young38. the writer considered her grandmother remarkable and interesting because she _.a. wrote a large number of botany booksb. left the writer some ancient but beautiful botany booksc. was unusually famous for her achievementsd. could become a botanist in the special time39. how many reasons made the writer think the brooch was one of her most precious possessions?a. one. b. two.c. three. d. four.40. in the writers opinion, something that is thought to be the most precious should be able to _.a. change a persons and even the whole familys life historyb. have a great effect on one persons lifec. remind somebody of his or her close relativesd. show a persons love and respect for his or her relativesci had the meanest mother in the world. while other kids ate candy for breakfast, i had to have cereal, eggs and toast. others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. as you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids. but at least i was not alone in my suffering. my sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as i did.my mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. she had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. we had to wear clean clothes every day. other kids always wore their clothes for days. we reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.the worst is yet to come. we had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and up at 7：45 the next morning. so while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break child labor law(儿童劳动法). she made us work. i believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. through the years, our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. my mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. using this as a background(背景), im now trying to bring up my three children. im filled with pride when my children think i am mean because now i thank god every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.41from the passage we can learn that the writers mother was _.anot generous at all bvery strict with her children cvery mean with money matters dvery cruel to her children42which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?aeating differently from other kids. bwearing clean clothes made by mother.cgoing to bed early and getting up early. dletting mother know where they were.43it can be inferred from the passage that _.athe writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studiesbmother was punished for breaking the labor lawcall the other kids studied better than the writerdthe writers family lived a miserable life44which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?amother practised economy in running her home.bthe writer is very thankful for her mother.cthe writer is severe with her children when bringing them up.dthe wrier has a deep hatred for her mother.45the passage was written in a way of _ tone.ahumorous bhateful(痛恨的) cridiculous(可笑的) dcritical(批评的)d lots of kids hate school, a new study found. usually this kind of feeling doesnt last long. but what happens if you feel this way too much? school is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. so lets talk about school and what to do when you dont like it. if you dont like school, the first step is to find out why. you might not like school because you dont have enough friends, or maybe you dont get along with your teacher. sometimes its a big problem with your classes and school-work. you may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like youll never catch up. when you know why you dont like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. its a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问) will be able to help you. another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. its a great way to let out emotions(情绪). remember, you dont have to share what youve written with others.46. lots of kids , according to the
