unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.donald didnt want his mother to be upset, but on some level, he was glad to hear she was awake. it meant he wasnt alone in the dark. though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.suddenly there was a crash. their living room window is shattered (打碎) by 125mileanhour winds. troy rushed to donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. he did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him.soon water was seeping(渗透) into the singlefloor

excess(过度的)coffee drinking could cause heart attacks in people who do not metabolize(使新陈代谢)caffeine fast enough. the study published recently in the journal of the american medical association，says an enzyme(酶)that metabolizes caffeine in the liver works differently in some people，depending on the makeup of the gene.individuals who have a slow version (版本)of the enzyme are at a greater risk(风险)of a heart attack when they drink more coffee.the risk had something to do with a persons age and how many cups of coffee he drinks. the team from the university of toronto in canada studied 4,024 people living in coffeerich costa rica between 1994 and 2004，of whom half suffered nonfatal(非致命的)heart attacks.they found slightly more than half had the slow version of the gene，while the rest had the fast form.two to three cups of coffee a day increased the possibilities of a heart attack by 36 percent for those with the slowacting gene and four or more cups a day lifted it by 64 percent.but those under 50 who had the fast version of the gene had a lower risk of heart disease，even with four or more cups a day.those with the fastacting gene who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had 22 percent reduced possibilities of having a heart attack，but drinking four or more cups a day only lessened the risk by 1 percent.scientists recommend limiting coffee consumption(消耗量)to within four cups a day.59people who have a slow version of the enzyme_.aare in danger when they drink coffee bare living in coffeerich costa rica chave the slow version of the gene dcan not drink four or more cups of coffee a day60the example of costa rica the author presented in the passage proves that_.athe heart attack in costa rica is really serious bthe heart problem has something to do with drinking

who study heart disease bspecialists who offer medical carecold people who have the slow version of the gene dthose who love drinking coffee every day62what is the best title for this passage?acoffee and heart attacks bgene and heart disease ccaffeine and enzyme dreasons for heart problems c we were traveling to the caribbean with our three kids aged 12, 7 and 4. being from chicago, we were all in need of a little sun and sand after an especially cold and long winter. before the trip, my eldest child asked if we could consider getting him a lifeproof case for his iphone. he thought it would be fun to take pictures and videos of his brother and sister underwater in the pool. that made sense to us, and we agreed that it could make great memory of good time. we bought the case for him.down to vacation we went. snap! on went the lifeproof case. we performed the suggested water test, and into the pool he went. pow! that was the end of the phone. water immediately leaked (渗入) into it and the phone was never turned on again.now, this could be a post about what a poorly-designed product the case is, but in fact, that is not what im writing about. actually, what truly surprised us was what happened to our 12-year-old over the course of the next seven days of our vacation. aside from the initial (最初的) five minutes after the phone died, our son never mentioned his phone again. instead of his usual plugged-in state, he spent much of the vacation reading books, playing silly games with his siblings and talking to us at dinner. normally when were on vacation and he and his siblings are done with eating, hell leave the table to text friends or check sports scores. but with no phone, there was no pull to keep in touch with his friends or to look at the latest posts. instead, our almost-13-year-old played tag with his 4-year-old sister, chased iguanas (鬣鳞蜥) with his 7-year-old brother and entertained them with games while we finished our meals. at the end of the trip, when we asked him about the lack of phone, he admitted it was nice to have a break from the constant chatting and keeping in touch with friends.im not saying i intentionally hope his phone dies again, but it does give us time to reflect as to whether or not we should make the kids leave their cell phones at home as part of the spring break contract. or at least we should severely curtail phone usage on vacation.63. why did the authors eldest son want a lifeproof case for his iphone?a. to put his phone away. b. to make his phone beautiful.c. to limit his phone use. d. to protect his phone underwater.64. what probably surprised the author most during the vacation? a. the change in his eldest son. b. the relationship between his children.c. the power of childrens games. d. the function of the iphone.65. how does the authors eldest son feel about the lack of phone? a. uncomfortable. b. upset. c. excited. d. fine. 66. the underlined word “curtail” in the last paragraph probably means. a. forbid b. continue c. practice d. increasedwhen taylor swift first came to the attention of the public, she was a 17yearold newcomer who loved singing to her guitar.she seemed far more enthusiastic

thinking.“hidden beneath taylor swifts notagirl, notyetawoman sweetness is a very skillful songwriting technique, ” wrote leah greenblatt in an american magazine.songwriting, as swift explains, is to cope with issues.“i tend to write about things that really impact me most.”there certainly seems to be something true and honest running through every one of the 14 songs on her album, speak now, about “the lessons and confusion and heartbreak and all the different things that go along with being 18,19 and 20.”“for the audience too young to have experienced real passion or heartbreak, swifts songs are like a potential road map, promising things will work out ok，” commented dorian lynskey in a british newspaper.now swift is getting ready to go further and has so far written about 10 songs for her 2012 album, which is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“theyre sad, if im being honest.” “theyre about my heartbreaks and my moving on.but more importantly, they are about
