away in a nursing home on a september day. i never remembered him telling me he loved me. upon hearing his death, i didnt feel the need to cry. i struggled with my lack of strong feelings over his passing, knowing it was not healthy for me to avoid sadness.on christmas day of the year, i was reflecting on as many good memories of my father as i could. i decided to work out my feelings, so i sat down and wrote my father a letter.dear daddy,i remember something today. i remember when i was 3 years old, mom carried me right before bedtime and you sang “now i lay me down to sleep” to me, and i remember your voice like it was just yesterday. i remember the warmth of you lying next to me and how special i felt at that moment. then my mom carried me off to my own bed to tuck me in.i remember times when i could sit out on the porch with you and watch an approaching thunderstorm, and you would tell me the scientific facts behind lightning and thunder. i thought you knew everything.i remember you taking my two brothers and me on trips to a stream out in the country on summer days. we would walk along the stream, picking wildflowers to take home to mother.i want to thank you for giving me an appreciation of nature and science and of gods beautiful creation, earth. i want to thank you for making us take part in “family worship” every evening after dinner. i remember that bible stories and the golden rule on how to treat others, and i learnt how to appreciate music in my life from the hymns we sang. i also learnt to harmonize with my sisters.and most of all, i want to forgive you. i forgive you for not being able to tell me that i was a special girl and that you loved me. i longed for your spoken affection. but i realize something in your own upbringing would not allow you to express your feelings verbally（口头地）. i realize that you did the best that you could with what you knew.i signed the letter and put it into my wooden box to join many other cards and letters from my family and loved ones that i cherished. but somehow, it had not brought any relief i desired.on new years eve, i remember the letter to my father. i took it outside to the yard. then i

you.”21. why did the writer struggle with the feelings upon hearing her fathers death?a. because she couldnt accept her fathers death.b. because she wanted to hold back her sadness.c. because she knew

book. literally, everyone “has a book in their stomach”. one in 10 icelanders will publish one.“does it get rather competitive?” i ask the young novelist, kristin eirikskdottir. “yes. especially as i live with my mother and partner, who are also full-time writers. but we try to publish in alternate years so we do not compete too much.”“writers are respected here,” agla magnusdottir tells me. “they live well. some even get a salary.” magnusdottir is head of the new icelandic literature centre, which offers state support for literature and its translation. “they write everything - modern sagas(长篇英雄故事), poetry, childrens books, literary and extraordinary fiction - but the biggest boom is in crime writing,” she says.so what has led to this phenomenal book boom? i would say it is due to a crop of good writers, telling interesting tales with elegant economy and fantastic characters.icelands black lava(火山岩) riverbeds, its steaming, bubbling earth, with its towering volcanoes and fairytale streams also make it the perfect setting for stories. solvi bjorn siggurdsson, an icelandic novelist, says writers owe a lot to the past. “we are a nation of storytellers. when it was dark and cold we had nothing else to do,” he says. “thanks to the poetic works and medieval（中世纪的） sagas, we have always been surrounded by stories. after independence from denmark in 1944, literature helped define our identity.”siggurdsson shows respect to icelands nobel literature winner, halldor laxness, whose books are sold in petrol stations and tourist centres across the island. locals name their cats after laxness and pay a visit to his home. “when laxness won the nobel prize in 1955 he put modern icelandic literature on the map,” siggurdsson tells me. “he gave us confidence to write.”29. the underlined phrase in the passage suggests that _.a. icelanders love collecting books.b. icelanders love writing very much.c. there are a lot of great books in iceland.d. it is competitive to publish a book in iceland.30. what kind of book is the most popular in iceland?a. poetry. b. medieval sagas.c. crime novels. d. childrens stories.31. which of the following is true according to the passage?.a. siggurdsson won the nobel prize for literature in 1955.b. icelanders publish books to increase their income.c. writers in iceland dont benefit from its literary tradition.d. iceland possesses some factors to be a perfect setting for stories.ddo algebra (代数) problems 15 through 25. give the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your french workbook. read page 12 through 20 of the shakespeare play, and when you have finished that, dont forget to fill the missing chemical symbols on the periodic table of elements worksheet.homework is a major part of going to class, and it helps students grasp important concepts. luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less painful.first, be sure you understand the assignment. write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and dont be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. it is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later at night!second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. it is attractive to hang out with friends during study periods or unscheduled time, but the more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do at night.third, pace yourself. if you dont finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. if it is a heavy-homework day and it seems like you have got an assignment on every subject but gym and lunch, you will need to devote more time to homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.32. the first paragraph is probably _.a. examination items b. a list of homework.c. some teacher tasks d. some learning methods33. what is the authors attitude towards homeworks effect on students?a. opposing. b. impatient.c. approving. d. concerned.34. one way to reduce your burden of homework at night is to _.a. take part in studying teamsb. appeal for teachers aid at any timec. focus full attention on teachers lectured. make full use of the time at school35. which of the following would be the best title of the passage?a. why students should do homeworkb. how to make homework less workc. it is high time teachers gave less homeworkd. who is to blame for childrens poor eyesight第二节
