three weeks. it was coming up on mothers day, and he usually tried to go back home, but this time he was too tired. he was in a small town outside of little rock when he drove by a flower shop. he decided to send his mother some roses.he went into the shop and saw a young man talking to the florist. “how many roses can i get for six dollars, maam?” the boy asked. the florist tried to explain that roses were expensive. maybe he should be happy with carnations(康乃馨).“no, i have to have roses,” he said, “my mom was sick so much last year and i had little time with her. it has to be red roses, cause thats her favourite.”the florist shook her head. john was touched by the boy, who wanted to get those roses so badly. john looked at the florist and silently mouthed that he would pay for the boys roses. then the florist said, “ok, i will give you a dozen red roses for your six dollars.” the young man almost jumped into the air. he took the flowers and ran from the store. it was worth the extra thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.john ordered his own flowers and had the florist be sure that delivery would include a note telling his mother how much he loved her. then he drove away from the shop. as he waited at the light, he saw the young man crossing the street and enter a park through two huge gates. suddenly, he realized it wasnt a park. it was a cemetery(墓地).the light changed, and john slowly crossed the road, parked his car and got out to follow the boy down the fence. the boy stopped by a small monument and went on his knee. he carefully laid the roses on the ground and cried, “mommy, why didnt i tell you how much i love you?, jesus, please. tell my mommy i love her.” john turned, tears in his eyes, and walked back to his car. he drove quickly to the flower shop and told the florist he would take the flowers personally.56. why did john go into the flower shop?a. he planned to open a flower shop. b. he decided to order some roses.c. he wanted to take a good rest.d. he had to see somebody there.57. which of the following words best describes the boy?a. braveb. generousc. poord. helpful58. how much did each rose cost according to the passage?a. around $3.5.b. about $6c. $12d. $4159. what we can learn from the story?a. one can get cheap flowers if he wants to show true loveb. one can get what they want if they stick to it.c. dont send flowers through delivery.d. dont delay expressing lovebmany animals recognize their food because they see it. so do humans. when you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. you can also use other senses when you choose your food. you may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. you may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. a few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. the giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. a kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. however, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). the bear eats fruits and fish. the fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. the diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. humans have a very varied diet. we often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. in countries such as france and britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. this makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60. we can infer from the text that humans and animals _. a. depend on one sense in choosing food b. choose food in similar ways c. are not satisfied with their food d. eat entirely different food61. which of the following eats only one type of food? a. the white butterfly b. the small bird c. the bear d. the fox62. certain animals change their choice of food when _. a. the season changes b. the food color changes c. they move to different places d. they are attracted by different smells63. we can learn from the last paragraph that _. a. food is chosen for a good reason b. french and british food is good c. some people have few choices of food d. some people care little about healthy diet csince my retirement（退休）from teaching music in 2001, i have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist, i actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died. so perhaps i was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. in any case, i drew pen and ink animals and landscapes（风景画）much influenced（影响）by krenkel and st. john for five years. for some strange reason, i had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as i walked out of the school door for the last time i picked up my brushes and rediscovered andrew wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist, i had looked through all the art books i had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how i thought good watercolors should look. so i painted landscapes around minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. however, watercolors remained my first choice, and i think i did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.art is now together with my piano playing and reading. there is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what i want to do. as confucius once said: “at seventy i can follow my hearts desire.”64. what is the text mainly about?a. learning to paint in later life. b. how to paint watercolors.c. an artist-turned teacher. d. life after retirement.65. the author started drawing again in 1995 because_.a. he hoped to draw a picture of his fatherb. he couldnt stop missing his fatherc. he had more time after retirementd. he liked animals and landscapes66. we can infer from the text that the author_.a. had been taught by krenkel and st. johnb. painted landscapes in minnesota for 5 yearsc. believed wyeth to be the best in watercolorsd. started his retirement life at the age of seventy67. how does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?a. a bit regretful b. very enjoyable c. rather busy d. fairly dull da study of english learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. it shows that most students considered understanding spoken english to be their biggest problem on arrival. this was followed by speaking. writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. reading remained as a significant（显著的）problem.the information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（动机）,we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based english teaching in their own country. to use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. therefore a different method may help because it is different.variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. this led up to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.68. what is the text mainly about?a. foreign students have more problems.b. there are many ways to improve english.c. teaching should meet students needs.d. english learning problems should be studied again.69. writing became a bigger problem when foreign students_ .a. became less interested in readingb. became better at speakingc. had to write their papersd. had fewer problems with listening70. we may infer from the last two paragraphs that _.a. different teaching methods should be usedb. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingc. english courses are necessary for foreign studentsd. teaching content should be changed halfway71. the word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to“ _ ”.a. re-thinkb. activityc. motivationd. timetable ewhats in the news? here are some articles from the winfield daily news.engaged to be marriedmr. and mrs. eduardo silva of bogota, colombia, are happy to announce that engagement of their daughter cristina ana silva to gino antonio leone. miss silva is studying art history at winfield community college and mr. leone is working at
