for rachael and leigh badman, there is only one wish on their christmas list this year_ that their sick daughter survives until december 25. fifteen year-old paige suffers from a rare brain condition. the disease affects as few as 12 people in the world, and can kill her any day without warning. and her condition has deteriorated in recent months. each time she closes her eyes, she may never wake up. rachael and leigh badman are worried that she couldnt live through christmas. they filled their house with christmas decorations on november1, so she could enjoy her favorite day of the year in advance. paige was diagnosed with the condition four years ago. mrs. badman described the condition as “being on death row” as she never knows if she will wake up and still have a daughter. she said, “ paige always loves christmas and its heartbreaking to see her suffering like this.” in the last months, paige has been unable to eat and has never walked or spoken. but she loves music, and enjoys watching pop stars dvds. and in may she also went on holiday to florida with her parents and little brother, kefton. the family , who have already organized parts of paiges funeral, also saw the teenager swimming with dolphins during the trip. since then, however, her condition has worsened. mrs badman, who is separated from her husband and works as paiges full-time carer, said, “now she cant eat or drink anymore, and her brain is shrinking.(萎缩) with all her problems, we just thought, lets get the christmas tree up as soon as possible. were praying she lives to see christmas day.”56.paiges

her family before suffering the disease. b. people use their mouths for many things. they eat, talk, shout and sing. they smile and they kiss. in the english language, there are many expressions about the word“mouth”. but some of them are not so nice. for example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “do not bad mouth me.” sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that peoples feelings. or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. the speaker might say: “i really put my foot in my mouth this time”. if this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, in other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.information is often spread through word of mouth. this is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other.” how did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask,” oh, by word of mouth.” a more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece. this is an official spokesperson. government run media could also be called a mouthpiece. sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. when this happens, the friend might say: “you took the words right out of my mouth!” sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. he might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. he might say : “ i had my heart in my mouth.”60.the underlined words “ down in the mouth” in paragraph one can be best replaced by _.a. ashamed b. regretful c. satisfied d. excited61.which could be used to describe ones fear?a.by word

year ago. the health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company ergotron invited me to review their workfit c-mod dual desk, i jumped out of my chair-really.after several hours putting the desk together, i finally got to try it out. the standing desk had a desktop that i could use for writing.at first i absolutely loved it. standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. although i felt more tired after all that standing during the day, i knew the health benefits were worth the slight discomfort. however, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, i realized that i could not use it in the long term.it was just not practical. while using the desk for a month , i could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.i enjoy having a lot of things on my desk. the standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.i can easily foresee awkward situations when i put that desk in an office space. when someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? if you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two chairs for you and a visitor, which is great. yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.additionally, the amount of money i would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. the desks i have looked at were highly expensive.yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. best of all, those options are completely free.68. when the author was asked to try the standing desk out, he was _. a. excited b. surprised c. unhappy d. uninterested69. when first using the standing desk, the author _. a. thought it was boring b. thought it was wonderful c. felt less tired than usual d .felt quite uncomfortable70. according to the author, a standing desk _. a. takes up too much space b .is suitable for long-term use c. is cheaper than traditional desks d. is impractical though good for health71. wha
