He and his wife had been the terrors (可怕的人) of the local kids before we came to the square. If a ball went into their garden, it was never seen again.Well, she was gone now and Mr. Mitchell was in his late eighties. The rose garden he had planted for her was an overgrown jungle and that was how I came into his story. I knew he was weak, but I didnt know if he had any help.One summer Mr. Mitchell was taken into hospital for a short stay. While he was away I thought he might like to come home to a neat and tidy garden. Even to enter the back yard I had to cut away overgrown rose bushes. Not knowing whether hed approve or not, I worried I might be going too far. He never said if he liked it, but he began to sit out more. He never said he didnt like it, so for the next couple of years I kept on doing it.Being really weak he often fell down. One night after lying on the floor for a long time unable to get up, he banged on the wall between our houses and I went and picked him up. This happened again and again. Eventually he asked if I would take a beeper in case he needed help.I became some kind of a nurse, picking him up in my arms, helping him dress and undress and going nightly to see if he was OK. Through all of this he was still a cantankerous old man. Mr. Mitchell isnt with us now, but before the end he showed me his medals from WWII. And Im glad I was chosen to bring a little care into his final years.41. The author entered Mr. Mitchells life because _.A. Mr. Mitchell invited him to his homeB. he cleaned Mr. Mitchells gardenC.

Examine how you use your spare time your hobbies, community projects, activities with social, political, or religious organizations. For each one, write down three headings: Abilities, Interests, and Values. And, under each heading write down your thoughts. 4. Talk with a friend or family member who is a good listener.5.

Lead an active lifestyleCFrom the very beginning of life, even before the birth of a child, parents start making plans as to what their child will become in the future. They start the research for good schools as they consider that schools are the only learning centers. But is this the truth? Which is more important for learning, school or home? This problem needs a balanced approach. A child spends about 7 hours in a school daily. This time is important as he learns friendship, communications with others, team spirit and a sense of sharing. As far as knowledge is concerned, a child learns more than enough of it in school. But is that knowledge the guarantee of his learning? Today in a class there are nearly about 40-50 students. The classrooms are increasingly becoming impersonal so that it is very difficult for a teacher to give personal attention to each and every student. The intelligent students remain in the good books of the teachers while weak students are generally neglected (忽视) so they become the prey (受害者) of bad companies. Schools and teachers are so troubled by the pressures of syllabus (教学大纲) that they are not able to do any remedial (补习的) teaching.Moreover, nowadays schools teach their students very less good moral values. They are more concerned with academic studies, results, competitions rather than ethics (道德).So now here lies the duty of parents. It is the parents responsibility to actually show children where they are right and where and why they are wrong. If they have difficulties, parents have to solve them. If they have to finish a lesson left incomplete at school, parents should make them do it. Parents are responsible for the overall development of a child.49. According to the author, what is a balanced approach?A. Learning in good schools.B. Parents perfect plans for children.C. Teachers attention on all students.D. School learning plus home education.50. It can be learned from the second paragraph that _.A. students receiving little attention from teachers easily go wrongB. some students dont get along well with their classmatesC. teachers have much difficulty in giving a lecture in a big classD. seven hours is too long a time for a child to stay at school51. The word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. team spiritB. a sense of sharingC. knowledgeD. friendship52. The author is likely to agree with the view that _.A. parents should set a good example for their childrenB. schools should leave an incomplete work for parents to doC. schools should focus their attention on students academic studyD. parents should teach children how to tell right from wrongDSprings flowers may not smell so sweet anymore, as pollutants from factories and automobiles destroy flowers aromas (芳香), a new study suggests. The finding could help explain why some pollinators (传粉昆虫), particularly bees, are declining in certain parts of the world.Researchers at the University of Virginia created a mathematical model of how the aromas of flowers travel with the wind. The aroma molecules produced by the flowers readily bond with pollutants such as ozone (臭氧), which destroys the aromas they produce. So instead of floating for long distances with the wind, the flowers aromas are chemically changed. Essentially, the flowers no longer smell like flowers.“The aroma molecules produced by flowers in a less polluted environment, such as in the 1800s, could travel for roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters (3,300 to 4,000 feet); but in todays polluted environment downwind of major cities, they may travel only 200 to 300 meters (650 to 980 feet),” said study team member Jose D. Fuentes.With flowers no longer advertising their presence over as large an area as before, pollinators are forced to search farther and longer to pick up the signs of their aromas. They may also have to rely more on their sight than what they smell.Bees depend on flower nectar (花蜜) for food, and if they have a hard time finding the flowers, they cant sustain their populations. Other studies, along with the experiences of farmers, have indicated that bee populations are dropping in places such as California and the Netherlands. Fuentes and his team think air pollution may be the reason.53. The passage is trying to tell readers _.A. air pollution is destroying ozone layerB. farmers are having a hard timeC. flowers are losing sweet smell over pollutionD. the worsening environment for bees54. Why is it difficult for bees to feel the existence of aroma molecules?A. Because the traveling distances of flowers aromas shorten a lot.B. Because bees are having poor eyesight because of air pollution.C. Because flowers have stopped sending out aromas.D. Because aromas floating directions are changing frequently.55. According to the passage, the death of bees may directly result from _.A. extreme weather B. hungerC. beekeepers inexperienceD. laziness56. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. bees have evolved a lot to adapt to the environmentB. bees will have to change their direction to find flowersC. flowers will be out of sight sooner or laterD. human activities are to blame for the declining of beesEPlants that live in the rainforest have adapted in amazing ways to several very difficult conditions. This means that the plant has changed something in its “body” or “habits” to make it easier to survive in difficult conditions. There are several conditions they have had to adapt to. First, the soil of the forest floor is shallow. Also, the soil of the rainforest is not very fertile (肥沃的). Most of the nutrients, or vitamins and minerals that help plants grow are contained in the living trees of the rainforest, not in the soil. The forest floor and understory (林下叶层) do not receive much light, which also makes it difficult for plants to survive there. Next is the problem of very heavy rains which continue over a large part of the year. Finally, many plants of the rainforest are food for animals that live there. This is not a problem for rainforest animals, but it is one for rainforest plants!The biggest problem that rainforest plants have to adapt to is the lack of sunlight in the rainforests lower levels. Plants have adapted to this problem in several ways. Many plants have very large leaves. Large leaves are helpful because they have more surface area. The more surface area a leaf has, the more sunlight it can absorb. The canopy (天蓬) trees adapt by growing to be 100 feet tall so that their leaves can grab all available sunlight. Other plants have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes (附生植物), have adapted by growing directly on the trees trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest.An adaptation to the large amounts of rainfall that many rainforest plants have is called drip tips (滴水叶尖). Their leaves are tapered (逐渐变细) to a sharp point at the end. This allows water to run off of the leaf quickly. There are many other adaptations that rainforest plants have made to their envi
