Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old；some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I, uhI wanna climb the stone walls, ”I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?”Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! Youll hurt yourself!”I wasnt too disappointed；the response was just as Id expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfathers loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute, ”I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself. ”“Go, ”he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back. ”For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old wallsand had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. Ill never forget what he said. “Fred, ”he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, theres only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are. ”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same：my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “Theres only one person in this whole world like you, ”the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”56When the writer was small, he lived _.A. in the city B. on the farmC. with his grandparentsD. away from his parents57The writer enjoyed his visits to the farm because _.A. there were old stone wallsB. it was an exciting place for himC. he liked his grandfatherD. the living room there was clean58The underlined word“approve”in paragraph 2 means _.A. proveB. suppose C. allow D. mind59We can learn from the passage that the writer was _.A. adventurousB. funny C. smart D. talkativeBBUY A JOINT TICKET AND VISIT THE OTHER HISTORIC ROYAL PALACES THE TOWER OF LONDON Royal (皇家的) palace and fortress (要塞) for over 900 years , scene of mystery , murder and home to the Crown Jewels .KENSINGTON PALACE Birthplace of Queen Victoria , this royal retreat is home to magnificent State Apartments and the stunning Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection , which includes dresses worn by HM Queen Elizabeth II and Diana , Princess of Wales .HISTORIC ROYAL PALACES Hampton Court Palace is part of Historic Royal Palaces , a registered charity (No: 1068852 ) that receives no public funding (资金).

I am a good friend to my husband . I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say . I am a good friend to my friends , and they to me . Without them , there would be nothing to say to you today .So heres what I wanted to tell you today : Get a life . A real life , not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck , the larger house .Get a life in which you are not alone . Find people you love , and who love you . And remember that love is not leisure (休闲) , it is work . Pick up the phone . Send an e-mail . Write a letter . And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted .It is so easy to waste our lives , our days , our hours , and our minutes . It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago . Something really , really bad happened to me , something that changed my life in ways that , if I had my choice , it would never have been changed at all . And what I learned from it is what , today , seems to be the hardest lesson of all :I learned to love the journey , not the destination . I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it , completely and totally .And I tried to do that , in part , by telling others what I had learned .By telling them this : Read in the backyard with the sun on your face . Learn to be happy .

Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere（大气层）. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists. Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers. This does give meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that takes several hours to make a local forecast. What are you seeing when you look at a cloud?“A picture of what moisture（湿度）is doing in the atmosphere, ”says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. Theres moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you dont see it, because its in the form of an unseen gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. Thats called condensation, and we see it happen all the time（for example, when damp air hits the cold glass of a mirror）. When enough water vapor condenses, tiny drops form in the air. These drops spread light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal a coming storm. But dont take our word for it; see for yourself. 68This passage mainly tells us about how to _ A. become a meteorologistB. keep an eye on the weatherC. be an assistant to a meteorologist D. change water vapor to liquid water69According to the passage, ordinary people might do as well as meteorologists in weather forecast _.A. with the help of the high-speed computersB. through a complex process of calculationC. with simple practice looking up at the skyD. asking for information from a weather station70Your advantage in weather forecasts is that _.A. you have more powerful computers at homeB. your brain works as well as a high-speed computerC. you observe the sky and obtain your data directlyD. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them71What causes vapor to change into water?A. A lot of moisture. B. Thick clouds.C. Warm atmosphere.D. Cold air temperature.EAre you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness. Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promotion. ”Or“Ill be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds. ”The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you wanted. This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a“response”to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling：“Ill be happy when.”It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a r
