all loved brownie and did different things with her. one of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. one thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. we always felt better when she was around.one day, as i was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. i knew dad would be mad and i had to let her know what she did was wrong. when i looked at her and said, “bad girl，” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. i saw a tear in her eyes.brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. she went everywhere with us. people would stop and ask if they could pet her. of course shed let anyone pet her. she was just the most lovable dog. there were many times when wed be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. she never barked(吠)or tried to get away. funny thing is she would smile. this frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. far from the truth, she loved everyone.now many years have passed since brownie died of old age. i still miss the days when she was with us.56what would brownie do when someone was ill in the family?alook at them sadly. bkeep them company. cplay games with them. dtouch them gently.57we can infer from paragraph 2 that brownie_.awould eat anything when hungry bfelt sorry for her mistakecloved playing hide-and-seek ddisliked the authors dad58why does the author say that brownie was more than just a family pet?ashe was treated as a member of the family.bshe played games with anyone she liked.cshe was loved by everybody she met.dshe went everywhere with the family59some people got frightened by brownie when she_.asmiled bbarked crushed to them dtried to be funnybyoure late for a job interview when traffic slows to a crawl. at the supermarket, a customer wheeling a full cart cuts ahead of you in the checkout line. you spend months on a makeit or breakit project, and your lazy colleague lands the promotion. feel that burn? before you explode with rage or fly into a fury, take a deep breath and remember this: anger hurts. study after study has found that high levels of anger and hostility(故意)are associated with greater risk for heart disease, poor immune(免疫)responses, and even a tendency for obesity(肥胖). men with high anger scores were three times more likely to develop heart disease than their calmer companions, a harvard school of public health study found. and in women, arguments with husbands raise hormone levels and lower immunity(免疫力)a real problem, since lower immune response may increase womens risk of cancer.it doesnt seem to matter whether you release the anger or hold it in, experts say. the effect on your health are the same. “anger_is_anger，”says redford williams, md，director of the behavioral medicine research center at duke university medical center and coauthor of the book life skills, “both are harmful to health.”the good news is, it is possible to control your anger. “by evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，” williams says，“thats whats nice about us humans: we can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”60from the passage we learn that_.apeople who easily get angry are more likely to suffer from some diseases than cheerful onesbcalmer people suffer from some diseases easilycmen suffer more from high levels of anger and hostility than womandhigh levels of anger and hostility will unavoidably result in heart disease, obesity and cancer61according to redford williams，“anger is anger”means that_.aanger is harmful to your healthbone should release anger for the sake of healthcone should hold in anger for the sake of healthdanger is harmful in spite of its different forms of expression62“talk yourself out of it”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_.atalking to yourself helps you control your feelingbtalking helps you hold in your angercpersuade yourself not to get angrydcontrol your anger by talking to yourself63what is the best title for the passage?aanger is anger.breleasing anger or holding it in.ccontrolling anger before it controls you.danger, a big killer.cwhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. i was living in conyers, georgia the summer it all happened. i was a second grader, but my best friend stephanie was only in the first grade. both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.it was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in stephanies basement. as i opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. i ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. it was paint. i looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“stephanie, i just found us a project for the day. get some paintbrushes. we are fixing to paint.”she screamed with excitement as i told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. we gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. there on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道). stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. it was fantastic!the sun was starting to sink. i saw a car in the distance and jumped up as i recognized the car. it was my mother. i couldnt wait to show her my masterpiece. the car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mothers face, i could tell that i was in deep trouble.my mother shut the car door and walked towards me. her eyes glaring, she shouted, “what in the world were you thinking? i understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors trees, but this! come inside right now！”i stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.“now go clean it up！”mother and i began cleaning the road. tears ran down my cheeks as i saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.though years have now passed, i still wonder where my rainbow has gone. i wonder if, maybe when i get older, i can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. i guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.64what did the writer want to do when his mother came home?ato introduce stephanie to her.bto prevent her from seeing his painting.cto put the materials back in the yard.dto show his artwork to her.65in his mothers eyes, the writer_.awas a born artist balways caused troublecwas a problem solver dworked very hard66the underlined word“rainbow”in the last paragraph refers to_.athe rainbow in the skybthe stripes on the pavementcsomething imaginative and fundimportant lessons learned in childhood67it can be learned from the passage that parents should_.aencourage children to paintbvalue friendship among childrencdiscover the hidden talent in childrendprotect rather than destroy childrens dreamsdmillions of people die of hunger in southern africa every year, but when zambia was offered thousands of tons of free corn by the us, the government politely said no.“we dont know whether the food is safe，”said zambias commerce, trade and industry minister dipak patel.his worries are shared by countries around the world that are in_two_minds about americas genetically modified(gm，转基因)crops. just last week, eu member nations were discussing whether or not to import gm sweet corn from the us.ever since people started farming they have tried to crossbreed(杂交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. at one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.but when gm techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.this means they can make crops more productive and resistant(有抵抗力的)to disease by adding genes from other species. they can also create food with special characteristics, such as“golden rice” which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk.“if left to me, i would certainly not eat gm foods”， said scottish scientist arpad pusztai. “we are putting new things into food which havent been eaten before. the effects on the immune system(免疫系统)are not easy to predict.”at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods，“are not likely to present risks for human health”. but there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.68we learn from the passage that_.apeople have discovered that gm foods will do harm to human healthbmillions of zambia people die of eating too much gm foodscpeople are still not sure if gm foods will do harm to human healthdgenetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later69the underlined words“in two minds” in the third paragraph means“_”aunsure bworried clikely dcareless70which of the following statements is not true about gm foods?ait is produced fr
