Hes all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home.”“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.

Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Fathers Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.59. Whats the right time order of the following events?a. The first Fathers Day was observed.b. Mothers Day was proclaimed a day for national observance.c. Fathers Day became a day for national observance.d. The idea of honoring fathers was bought up.A. a b c dB. d a b cC. b a c dD. d a c b60. Who plays the most important role in Fathers Day becoming a national commemorative day?A. Mrs. Dodd.B. Margaret Chase Smith.C. Ann Jarvis.D. Woodrow Wilson.61. From the passage, we know in the U.S _.A. on Mothers Day, families often go out to have barbecuesB. people should wear a red carnation if their mothers pass awayC. on Fathers Day, people stay at home to celebrate the special dayD. the purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents62. The authors purpose of writing this passage is to _.A. introduce Mothers Day and Fathers DayB. show how important fathers and mothers areC. call on people to love and respect their parentsD. tell the difference between Mothers Day and Fathers DayDEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 63. The writer of the passage thinks that _.A. free education wont help to solve problems B. education can settle most of the worlds problemsC. all the social problems cant be solved by educationD. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world64. The writer wants to prove that _.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. work with hands is the most importantC. our society needs free education for allD. a farmer is more important than a professor65. The purpose of education is to _.A. build a perfect worldB. let everyone receive education C. choose officials for the countryD. prepare children mainly for their future work66. What does the passage mainly tell us about education?A. The means.B. The system.C. The value.D. The type.EAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”67. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.A. report on the findings of a studyB. give information about family problemsC. teach parents ways
