why didnt you watch out for the cow? the first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “the second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.” “things arent always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “when we stayed in the basement, i noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, i asked god if i could seal(封口)the wall so he couldnt find it. then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. i asked god if the angel could take the cow instead. things arent always what they seem.” 51 why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?a. because the basement was too cold to stay in.b. because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.c. because she wanted to punish the greedy owner.d. because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.52 in paragraph two, the pair refers to _.a. the poor couple b. the rich couple c. the guests d. the angels53 the younger angel was very angry because _.a. the older angel killed the farmers cowb. the older angel treated the two families unfairlyc. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live d. the angel of death took the cow away54 the story tries to tell the reader that _.a. sometimes things are not what they seem b. angels are always ready to help the poorc. angels are always ready to help the richd. the young should always learn from the old.bwho doesnt have a clingy friend? you know, that person who often calls, texts, and e-mails. he often needs your attention, your feedback, or your help. worse yet, he often gets antsy when you dont reply immediately.is there ever a moment when you just want to turn off your phone and be alone? but you wont do that to a friend. actually there are better ways to deal with a clingy friend.give yourself some time if you really need some time for yourself, or youre just tired of being the listener, just explain to your friend honestly that you want or need some time of your own. even the most determined friends will understand and give you some space. of course, those extremely clingy friends will still call, text, and e-mail. if that happens, just reply gently that you need some time for yourself.suggest an activity for your friendif you are tired of different get-togethers and outings, then you should advise your friend to do something alone. if you both like sports, you could tell your friend to have a try at the new gym. if your friend likes your suggestion, but insists that you go along, just explain that youve already visited the gym. mention that you enjoy the gym. if youre lucky , hell try it, and like it.introduce your clingy friend to others. your clingy friend may just be lonely or have trouble meeting new people. if thats the case , introduce him to others with similar interests. he may just make some new friends._theres no reason for you to rudely tell your clingy friend that hes a pain in the neck. just follow the above advice to take your time back. after a while, your clingy friend should learn to value your time and your friendship.55 what does the underlined word “antsy” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. busy b. silent c. nervous d. bored56 what does the author suggest you do in the first advice?a. understand your friends. b. be honest with your friends.c. spend more time with your friends.d. keep your distance from your friends.57 which of the following can best fill in the blank of the last paragraph?a. give your friend some time b. take your time backc. dont be rude d. value your friendship58 we can learn from the passage that clingy people _.a. are very confident b. have little free time c. dont respect others d. dont want to be alonecbabies who watch tv are more likely to show late learning development and language at 14 months, especially if they are watching programs aimed at adults and older children, according to a new study, which would probably surprise those parents who leave their babies in front of a tv set.babies who watched 60 minutes of tv daily had developmental scores a third lower at 14 months than babies who were watching less tv. although their developmental scores were still in the normal range, the difference may have been due to the fact that when children and parents are watching tv, they are missing the talking, playing and other communications that are important to learning and development.this new study, which appeared in the aechives of pediatric and adolescent medicine, followed 259 lower-income families in new york, most of whom spoke spanish as their primary language at home. other studies of higher-income families have also come to the same conclusion: tv watching is not only non-educational, but it seems to slow down babies development.but what about “good” tv, like sesame street? the researchers didnt find any difference when compared to non-educational programs designed for small children, like spongebob squarepants. earlier research by some of the same scientists, most of whom are at new york university school of medicines bellevue hospital centre, has found that parents whose children watch non-educational tv programs like spongebob squarepants spend less time reading to their children or teaching them.at this point, parents reading this will probably be astonished. tv is so often a parents good friend, keeping children happily occupied（占时间）so that the adults can cook dinner, answer the phone, or take a shower. but, clearly, this electronic babysitter（保姆）is not an educational aid. it is best to make sure the babies are fast asleep if you have to watch tv. 59 according to the first paragraph, 14-month-old babies who watch tv probably_.a. learn things quickly b. prefer programs for older childrenc. surprise their parents with their development d. speak later than babies who dont60 babies who watched 60 minutes of tv daily had lower developmental scores perhaps because _.a. they watch non-educational programsb. they have little communication with their parentsc. they lost interest in real thingsd. their parents dont speak english at home61 we can infer from the passage that_.a. educational and non-educational tv have different effects on babiesb. many parents leave babies to the tv to do their own thingsc. educational tv is very popular among higher-income familiesd. lower-income families tend to teach their babies at home62 which would be the best title for the passage?a. developing better learning abilityb. a new study on babies bad habitsc. tv watching is bad for babies brains d. make sure your babies watch “good” tv programs da great-grandfather has put up his christmas tree for the 85th time after his father first bought it from a toy shop.douglas hewitt, 85, has celebrated every christmas with the artificial tree since he was born. his father bought the tree from a toy shop in sheffield just months after douglas was born. the four-foot tree remains the centre point of the hewitt family household during every festive season.mr. hewitt, of south anston, south yorkshire, said, “it reminds us of my childhood, our childrens childhood and our grandchildren and great-grandchildrens after that. they all come and look at it and smile; its become part of the furniture. if we didnt put that christmas tree up, it wouldnt feel like christmas.”the tree was passed down to mr. hewitt when he married mavis. mrs. hewitt said, “year after year we have just carried on using that one. you have to be a bit more careful with it now, as its fragile.”their daughter, june murphy, also has fond memories of the christmas tree. she said, “it was in my grandparents home and then it was given to us. it looks a little thin now, as each time you get it out something else falls off. its become a bit of a family joke. each year someone has to comment not again! but its a christmas tradition of getting the tree out that we all love. wed all be sad to see it go, as i think it would be hard to find such a loved replacement.”mr. hewitt said, “there were a lot more branches on it, and its lost its feathers that were all along the edge. there were little candle holders（蜡烛架）on the ends and little legs on it, but unfortunately theyve been lost over the years.”63 where did douglas hewitt get the christmas tree?a. he got it from his father.b. he bought it from a toy shop.c. he made it by himself.d. he cut it down in a forest.64 what does mr. hewitt want to tell readers in the third paragraph?a. it may be the last year that the tree appears in this house.b. his family decorate their house with this christmas tree.c. this christmas tree reminds him that christmas is on the way.d. his family has a special feeling towards this christmas tree. 65 the underlined word “fragile” in the fourth paragraph probably means_.a. a little strangeb. easily brokenc. quite smalld. not beautiful66 why does her family put up the christmas tree every year according to june murphy?a. to honor her grandparents.b. to save the family money.c. to keep up the family tradition.d. to create a friendly atmosphere.e email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad english does more harm than good. email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. it is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship. these are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email. “email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says naomi baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an american university. she says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and se
