People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Years Day (January 1), May Day and National Day as legal (法定的)holidays , as it was on Oct.1,1949 that the Peoples Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress has declared several days as legal holidays such as New Years Day (January 1), Martin Luther King, Jr.s Birthday, Washingtons birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on.

During those, years, I grew much taller than most of my classmates. I didnt want to be laughed at for my unusual height, so I went along with the crowd who would play jokes on other kids at school. Of course, the jokes were directed at others and not at me.Once my friends and I put IcyHot (止痛贴) in the shorts of one of the kids on the basketball team. Not only was he terribly embarrassed, but he also had to go to the school nurse s office.My father didn t think that my behavior was funny, He reminded me about the golden rule: to treat others as I would like to be treated. What I was doing was hurting other kids, and in turn hurting my reputation (名声) as someone to be looked up to. My friends were looking up to me because I was tall, but what did they see ?He wanted me to be a leader who was a good example to others. He told me over and over again to be the leader that I was meant to be - to be a big man in my heart and actions, as well as in my body. I had to question myself whether or not it was important to be the kind of leader and person my father believed I was inside. I knew in my heart that he was right.Once I focused on being the best that I could be at basketball and became a leader in the game, I took my responsibility (责任) to set a good example more seriously. I sometimes have to stop and think before I act, and I make mistakes sometimes everyone is human. But I continue to look for opportunities where I can make a difference, and to set a good example. 45.The author played jokes on other kids because he .A. hated them very much B. wanted to direct people s attention to others C. wanted to be a leader in his class D. thought it was just funny46.The underlined phrase looked up to in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. listened to B. taken care of C. thought highly of D. left out47.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author .A. was not good at basketball B. changed his fatherC. was a careless person D. took his fathers advice48.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Go on to Make changes.

Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a persons name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names.Admit you dont know.Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use connections.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair. To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Therere fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others - an automatic review for you.49.How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved. B.

DThe Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffels was chosen.However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people including many well-known writers and painters at that time were fiercely against its design. Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the worlds tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isnt an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天线), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height. The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height. Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.53.The passage mainly tells us _. A. some information about its design B. the history of the Eiffel TowerC. what the Eiffel Tower was used for D. how it became one of the symbols of Paris54.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A.

And it doesnt go away! Theres nothing worse than garlic,” they say. 56 Chester Aaron grows eighty-seven kinds of garlic on his farm. He wrote a book called Garlic Is Life. It seems that people either love garlic or hate it. 57 The first wild garlic probably grew somewhere in western Russia. Later, travelers carried garlic to China, Europe, and North Africa. Farmers began planting it over 5,000 years ago. People in many cultures shared similar ideas about garlic. For example, it was believed that garlic made it possible for slaves to work harder and longer. In Greece, the athletes of the first Olympic Games ate garlic, because they wanted to become stronger and faster. 58 In some places, garlic was called “food for lovers”. People added it to other foods because it tasted good. People in many cultures ate garlic when they got sick. 59 It was also supposed to help with different kinds of pain.Is eating garlic actually good for you, or should we just laugh at these old ideas?
