crops were dying. cows had stopped giving milk. the streams were long gone back into the earth. if we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.i was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when i saw my six-year old son, billy, walking toward the woods. he was obviously walking with a great effort. trying to be as still as possible. minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. this activity went on for over an hour: walking very carefully to the woods, then running back to the house. finally, my curiosity got the best of me. i quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.he was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出) the water he held in them. branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. he had a much greater purpose. as i looked at him secretly, i saw the most amazing site.several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. but billy walked right up to them. i almost screamed for him to get away. and i saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.i stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart i have ever known working so hard to save a life. as the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. and more drops. and more. i looked up at the sky. it was as if god, himself, was crying with pride.25. why did the author follow her son?a. because there might be danger. b. because her son was

following is the best title for the passage?a. importance of water b. the water of life c. how to save animals d. animals in dangercwhen you were young, ginger ale（姜味汽水）may have been a popular choice for reducing the unpleasant feelings caused by your upset stomach on the road to get to school. for years, ginger has been used to reduce the effects of nausea（作呕）. but do you know its now also being looked at to fight cancer?scientists have discovered that ginger can kill cancerous cells in two different ways. on the one hand, ginger causes the cancer cells to “commit suicide” by destroying themselves while leaving the surrounding healthy cells untouched. ginger can prevent the growth of diseased cells by destroying the environment they grow in. on the other hand, ginger tricks the diseased cells and causes them to fight among themselves. researchers are now looking into one of the toughest cancers to fight. however, scientists find repeated treatment of disease by drugs can actually lose its effectiveness over time as the cancer builds up resistance（抵抗力）to the same treatment. this raises researchers confidence that ginger would help stop resistance from the cancer.in a study, the cancer clearly stopped growing in the body of the mice that had been given ginger. the bad news is that such encouraging research has only been conducted on mice. the good news, however, is that it seems humans might be able to get the same benefit just by eating products with ginger and ginger root in them.cancer prevention and fighting abilities arent the only potential benefits you may get from adding a bit more ginger to your diet.drinking ginger ale when your stomach was upset as a child wasnt just a placebo（安慰剂）.numerous studies and research, including the mayo clinics strict grading system, agree that ginger has some sort of anti-nausea characteristics.some believe that ginger works well against nausea after operations, while others use it to reduce motion sickness such as seasickness and car sickness. the mayo clinic, however, advises the use of ginger only to reduce nausea during pregnancy. while more research needs to be done, early studies are very promising, especially in that small amounts of ginger dont seem to do any harm to the mother or baby.other health benefits from ginger exist as well. since ginger is often considered to be useful in warming bodies, it can improve the condition of peoples joints including knees and ankle joints. some suggest that ginger can help cure a cough associated with the common cold. another benefit of ginger is that it seems to have no real side effects, which is one of the main reasons it appears to be safe during pregnancy.but for safety, you should always consult a doctor for instructions on daily use before starting, even with something like ginger that seems to have little to no side effects.29why do scientists think ginger can be used to fight against cancer?aginger can destroy diseased cells in two different ways.bginger is commonly considered as a kind of pain killer.cginger warms peoples bodies and helps them recover from operations.dginger has no harmful side effects according to a large amount of medical research.30we can learn from the third paragraph that_.aginger works well only for warm-blooded animalsbginger and its root have the same effect on humans as micecpeople are likely
