She offered me some peas, and I, in the very last moments of my innocent youth, declined. My mother fixed me with a 54 eye as she heaped a huge pile of peas onto my plate.

In a nation with such a strict work ethic(道德规范) , this is considered strange. Working only 40 hours a week? I just dont know many people who punch out (打卡下班) at five oclock anymore. My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and devotion to a career. But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs.My father, a self-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired. His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer（糖尿病）. Despite all this, he insisted on traveling a long way to give a lecture. He probably earned a lot of money that day, but he paid the price. He returned to the hospital soon afterwards and was dead within three months, aged just 58.Its been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night and since then, Ive thought a lot about work. Ive decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs exhausted. As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work myself into the ground, physically or emotionally. Not taking my work home didnt come easily to me at first. After all, I am my fathers daughter. In college, I was the girl who sat on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open. I even dreamt about schoolwork.My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunset; he had to be doing something as he looked at itwriting, reading, playing chess. You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in many languages. Thats an impressive list, but the thing is I want to gaze at sunsets. I dont want to meet a deadline during them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book.This raises the question: If I leave work at five o clock to watch the sunset, what are the consequences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, because honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably wont earn me the best promotion. But hey, leaving work at five o clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and cycle through the streets of my hometown when there is no traffic.And I get to take in a lot of sunsets. Thats got to be worth something.56. Which of the following about the authors father is true? A. He set a good example to his daughter. B. He tried to force his values on his daughter. C. He gained much pleasure from his work. D. He achieved great success at the expense of his health.57. What does the author mean by saying “Not taking my work home did not come easily at first” in Paragraph 4? A. There was so much work to do.B. All her colleagues took work home. C. She was educated to be a workaholic. D. She wanted a promotion in her work.58.The text is developed _. Aby giving examples B. by making comparisons. C. by describing process D. by order of time 59.What does the writer intend to tell us? A. To praise his fathers diligence. B. To ask us to take time off work to enjoy life.C. To complain about the strict work ethic. D. To stress the importance of hard work.B With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.60. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that .A. it can pick up peoples spirits B. it makes people more confident C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D. it can help people get on well with others61. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to . A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily life D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life62. What is the authors attitude towards the present world?A. Positive B. Indifferent C. Satisfied D. Critical CAt age 11, Ghulam was married off to 40-year-old Jaiz in a rural Afghan village, making her only one of more than 10 million young girls who are being forced to wed men old enough to be their fathers of grandfather every year.In an effort to start a global conversation about the devastating effects of early marriages, which are currently practiced in more than 50 developing countries, the United Nations designed October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child this year.Although child marriage is against the law in many countries, and international treaties forbid the practice, it is estimated that about 51 million girls below age 18 are currently married, often under the cover of darkness and in secret. In Afghanistan alone, it is believed that approximately 57 percent of girls wed before the legal age of 16.Various factors drive parents of child bridges to marry off their daughters, from the communitys pressure to confirm to age-old cultural customs to economic considerations. In poor, developing nations, it is not uncommon for families to settle debts by offering their daughters as payment.Experts agree that early marriage denies the girl education and robs them of their childhood because most young wives, burdened by grownup responsibilities, do not get a chance to interact with their peers or carry on friendships outside the household. In many cases, the girls are lorded over by their husbands and in-laws, leaving them vulnerable(易受伤害的) to domestic violence as well as physical, sexual and verbal abuse. Underage wives who are lucky enough to escape from their husbands end up living in poverty, or worse. Most girls who enter early marriages are expected to get pregnant right away, which often leads to tragedy for both the mothers, who are still children themselves, and their babies.Unless international organizations take steps to reverse the troubling trend, it is estimated that over the next decade, 100 million more girlsor about 25,000 girls a day -will marry before they turn 18.To learn more about campaign to end the practice of early marriages, please click: Too Young To Wed.63The purpose of the first paragraph is to _.A. attract readers attention B. introduce the following topicC. list the countries practicing early marriages D. give readers an example of early marriages64. The fifth paragraph mainly talks about _.A. the number of girls involved in early marriages B. the causes of early marriages in developing countiesC. the tragic effects of early marriagesD. the countries that allow early marriages65. The UN made October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child in order to _A. urge parents to treat girls equally as boyB. call on people to pay more attention to girls education C. call on people to pay more attention to girls in poor countries or areasD. start a global campaign against early marriages66. Which of the following is a cause of early marriages?A. The present girls develo
