happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named hope. the strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 i never had the opportunity to meet her, i wish i had. it seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special. hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a wish in early december 2010 by the make-a-wish foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer. however, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted. she also asked that it be done 44 january 16, 2011. unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds were simply 46 . they calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well. newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and tv stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make hopes dream come true. her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. at

blame. because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.no one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). they are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. there can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.when comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? that is for you to decide.36designers and big stores always make money _. a. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry b. because they are capable of predicting new fashions c. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing d. because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing37to the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _. a. a waste of money b. a waste of time c. an expression of taste d. an expression of creativity38new fashions in clothing are created for _. a. the commercial exploitation of women b. the womens strength of character c. basic qualities of inconstancy and instability d. an important contribution to societyi stood outside new yorks madison square garden and just stared, almost speechless. i was a farm boy from county kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as i had in the world. from the day i was born, there was a problem. the doctors at the dublin hospital told my parents i had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes. life was tough. i couldnt stand, much less walk. i rarely, left the farmhouse-and then only in someones arms. mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season. “the world will see him when he can walk,” she told dad. “and he will walk.” mam devoted herself to helping me. she tried everything to get me on my feet. when i was three, she and dad took me to a clinic in dublin. a few weeks later we returned to dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). back home i practiced walking with my new limbs. “theres nothing anyone can do but you cant,” mam said. “you and i are going to walk through town.” the next day mam dressed me in my finest clothes. she wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. dad drove us to the church. we stepped out of the car. mam took my hand. “hold your head up high, now, ronan,” she said. we walked 300 meters to the post office. it was the farthest id walked, and i was sweating from the effort. then we left the post office and continued down the street, mams eyes shining with a mothers pride. that night, back on our farm, i lay exhausted on my bed. it meant nothing, though, compared to what id done on my walk. then i began to pursue my dream of singing. and at every step mams words came back to meronan, you can do anything anyone else can doand the faith she had in god, who would help me do it. ive sung from the grandest stages in europe, to music played by the worlds finest musicians. that night, i stood at the madison square garden, with mams words chiming in my ears. then i began singing. i couldnt feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but i felt it deep in my heart, the same place where mams promise lived.39what was the problem with the author as a baby? a. he was expected unable to walk. b. he

humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.in other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. for example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. the same is true for countless other species.for humankind it is opposite. our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on earth and even into space. no natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. the result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.47from the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _.a. humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate groupb. human beings are limited by the environment while animals are notc. human beings become more and more different from each otherd. humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability48according to the passage, primate includes such animals as _.a. monkeys and anteaters b. tigers and apesc. apes and monkeys d. monkeys and giraffes49according to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _.a. increase the population b. resist natural offers c. go to the moon d. cure all diseases50according to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in _.a. the population explosion b. the destruction of human habitationsc. the growth of natural ecosystem d. the specialization of humanswhen you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the sofa, you probably wish there was a bit more space. you are not alone. nearly a third of parents say they feel squeezed into their homes but cannot afford to move to a bigger property, a report reveals today.twenty-nine percent say their property is too small to fit the size of their familyrising to 40 percent for those 34 and under. one in four children is forced to share a bedroom, according to the finda-property. com website. property analyst samantha baden said: afford-ability remains a key issue for families, with the average cost of a three-bedroom home around 193,000.very few can afford to buy or to rent a property of the size they want and in the area they desire to live in, according to miss baden. a recent report, from investment firm lv, also found that many space-starved parentsare pushed into a two-bedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple, but has no space for three or so children. grown-up children who cannot afford to leave homo are also adding to the problem f
