longer young, i have friends whose mothers have passed away. i have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciatedtheir mothers until it was too late to tell them. i am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. i appreciate her more each day. my mother does not change, but i do. as i grow older and wiser, i realize what an extraordinary person she is. how sad that i am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen. how does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? for the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? for running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? for waiting for the day when a daughter realizes howwise her mother really is? how does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? for being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? for not saying, “i told you so”, when she could have said these words dozens of times? for being essentially herself - loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving? i dont know how, dear god, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. i pray that i will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine. a a daughter 51. according to the passage, the

of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. they use essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: mention several ways in which benjamin franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.” one advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. the student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the students ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. it should show how deeply he has thought about the subject. sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form. besides, in an essay test the students score may depend upon the examiners feelings at the time of reading the answer. if he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score. whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. when some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the students knowledge can usually be obtained.56. what may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs? a. the essay test. b. how teachers test their students. c. how students write their essays. d. the objective test. 57. the essay test is preferred because _. a. it shows more about the students understanding of the subject b. it tests the students knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas c. it gives each student a fairer chance d. its scoring may be influenced by the examiners feelings 58. the underlined word “this” ( para 3 ) refers to the fact that _. a. students may receive a lower score in an essay test b. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher mark c. different examiners may give the same essay different scores d. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance 59. according to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective test is not true? a. it is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.b. it allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.c. it shows the students ability to think about difficult problems. d. it is easy and quick to score.60. according to the author, an ideal test should be _.a. an objective test.b. an essay test.c. a combination of the two.d. something new.（c）when johnny cash sings, people listen. his big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across north america. his records sell by the million. country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. they love songs like “hey porter”, “ring of fire”, and “folsom prison blue”.johnny cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. people like what they hear and what they see, too. rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. hes a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. and that scar (疤痕) on his cheek? its a bullet hole, of course! in the minds of most people, johnny cash is “mr. tough (violent) guy”. hes an ex-drug addict (上瘾者) who was once put in prison. his grandmother was an indian. to keep from hunger he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. some people say he even killed a man. in fact, most of the johnny cash story is just that-a story. true, years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. he “popped” pills. but he never used heroin (海洛因) or other “hard” drugs. sometimes hed go wild and get locked up for a few hours. but he never served a prison sentence.theres no indian blood in his veins. hes been a killer only in a song. as for the “bullet hole, its an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst (囊肿). people who know johnny cash well say hes a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy”- but not a “tough guy”. how did the stories get started? some of them, like the story about the “indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started. now theres little the singer can do to change peoples minds. “they just want to believe it,” he says.61. johnny cash is a

impress his fans. d. johnny cash suffered a lot in his childhood.(d)if your recurring (经常性的) dreams are worrying you, you can rest assured and neednt worry. psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases, this is just the minds way of dealing with stress and conflicts (冲突), problems and concerns. its a good thing.they can be surprisingly vivid and real, or fragmented (零散的) and weird. they can be comforting or frightening. our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking, particularly when we are at lifes passages or turning points. dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness (潜意识).lisa oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city. its always just a feeling of needing to stay safe. experts say disturbing dreams often occur
