animalsthe island was ruled by a beautiful woman called tondalaya, the fire goddess of the volcanoit was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect lifebut through the years, tondalaya was forgottenthe week i turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden endmy house, furniture and everything id owned was sold to pay debts that i didnt even know existedin a week i had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the familyid lost everything except my four teenage childreni used every penny i had to buy five plane tickets from missouri to hawaiieveryone said i was crazy to think i could just run off to an island and survivei was afraid they were righti worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because i lived on one meal a dayone night as i walked alone on the beach, i saw the red orange lava（火山岩） pouring out of kilauea volcano in the distanceit was time to live my imagination!the next day, i quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what i lovedi hadnt painted a picture in 15 yearsi wondered if 1 could still paintmy hands trembled the first time i picked up a brushbut after an hour had passed, i was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas（画布） in front of meand as soon as i started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, toothe first painting sold for $ 1500the past six years have been filled with adventuresmy children and i have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim （火山口边缘） of the volcanowe wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind usthe dream i had more than 40 years ago is now realityim living freely and happily ever after56why did the writer go to hawaii?ato make a livingbto spend her holiday cto free herself from trouble dto realize her childhood dream57which of the following is the writers dream?aget close to wildlifeblive a free and happy lifeclive in nature with animals.dbecome a successful painter58we can infer from the passage that _athe writer had never done painting beforebthe writers parents encouraged her to divorcecthe writers husband took away most of her moneydthe writer wasnt sure whether she could survive in hawaii at firstb chinese and western eating habits are different. in china, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. it is always polite to let guests or elderly people at the table taste every dish first. but in the west, everyone has his or her own plate of food.although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a chinese banquet (筵席).firstly and most importantly, dont put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. instead, lay them on your dish. the reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl full of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out upright in it. so if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it appears that you want someone at the table to die.make sure the spout(容器嘴) of the teapot is not facing anyone, as this is impolite. the spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, you should not tap on your bowl. if you are in someones home, it is like insulting the cook.59. what is the difference between chinese and western eating habits according to paragraph 1?a. in china people are very polite, while in the west people are not so.b. in china people share the dishes, while in the west people eat separately.c. in china people use the chopsticks, while in the west people use the knife and fork.d. none of the above.60. what is the main idea of the third paragraph? a. the reason why chopsticks shouldnt be put upright in the rice bowl. b. the chinese use chopsticks to eat.c. the chinese eating habits.d. how to use chopsticks. 61. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. it is polite to taste the dishes before the guests or the elderly.b. you can put your chopsticks wherever you want.c. never tap on your bowls with the chopsticks during the meal.d. teenagers can stick their chopsticks in the rice bowl. 62. the underlined word “insulting” in the last paragraph probably means “_”.a. playing jokes on b. laughing at c. treating badly d. looking down uponcin a room at texas children cancer center in houston, eight-year-old simran jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. but the third graders cheery dressing didnt mask her pain and weary eyes. then a visitor showed up. “do you want to write a song?” asked anita kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. simran stared. “have you ever written a poem?” anita kruse continued. “well, yes,” simran said. within minutes, simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “imagination in its head” anita kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girls voice. thirty minutes later, she presented simran with a cd of her first recorded song.that was the beginning of anita kruses project, purple songs can fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. as a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.the effect on the kids has been great. one teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. a 12-year-old boy with hodgkins disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called i can make it.“my time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says anita kruse. “but they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their cd with their families.”simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. from time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, always remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour. 63.simran jatar lay in bed in hospital because _.a. most of her hair had fallen outb. she was receiving treatment for cancerc. she felt depressed and quit from schoold. she was suffering from a pain in her back64.what do we know about anita kruses project?a. it helps young patients record songs. b. it is supported by singers and patients.c. it aims to replace the medical treatment.d. it offers patients chances to realize their dreams.65.what does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?a. most children are naturally fond of music.b. he was brave enough to put up performance.c. the project has positive effect on young patients.d. singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.66. what is probably the best title for the passage? a. purple songs can fly b. singing can improve health c. a shining moment in life d. a kind womananita krusedhigh speed book scannersimply turning pages of a book quickly may not seem like the best way to scan it. a japanese research group at tokyo university has created new software that allows hundreds of pages to be scanned within minutes. scanning text is normally a boring process with each page having to be inserted into a scanner, but the team led by professor masatoshi ishikawa uses a high speed camera that takes 500 pictures a second to scan pages as they are turned by workers.normal scanners can only scan the information that is actually before them on the page. this high speed book scanner uses a camera that captures pages at 1000fps as they are turned. a system built in allows it to automatically correct any changes to the text due to the page bending as well as light differences due to shadows. “it takes a shot of the shape, then it calculates the shape and uses those calculations to film the scanning,” ishikawa said, explaining the system used to reconstruct the original page.the current system is able to scan an average 250-page book in a little over 60 seconds using basic computer hardware. while it now requires extra time to process the scanned images (影像), the researchers hope to eventually make the technology both faster and much smaller. “in the more distant future, once it becomes possible to put all of this processing on one chip (芯片) and then put that in an ipad or ipod, o
