To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch（门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people. On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldnt harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrels home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again. Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHES BAAAAAACK” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldnt continue contributing my husbands hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up. I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes. All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones. 56. What did the author think of the squirrel at first? A. Dangerous.B. Troublesome.C. Interesting. D. Clever.57. Why didnt the author ask the wildlife control people to come again? A. She thought the company charged too much. B. She worried about the safety of the squirrel. C. She decided to drive away the squirrel herself. D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.58. What can we learn from the passage? A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience. B. The squirrel has destroyed the authors house. C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel. D. The author signed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.59. The author has written the passage in a (an) _ way. A. persuasiveB. serious C. amusing D. informative BBack those photos up The images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions. If that doesnt move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable beforeincluding one-click access to a lifetime of family photos. Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad. Scanning The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so thats an easy but extremely time-consuming step. Storing the photos With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up. You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. Or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer. Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite. Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computers main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who dont need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsofts SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay. Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive, but more secure. With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are. 60. Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy? A. To tell the background of the scanning photos. . B. To attract the readers interest in the backups. C. To describe a severe natural disaster. D. To win the readers sympathy.61. What can we know from the passage? A. Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot. B. The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest. C. Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line. D. Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.62. Which of the following allows storing files automatically? A. Caronite. B. Dropbox. C. SkyDrive. D. Flash drive. 63. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. tell real stories about storage services B. describe the functions of storage services C. introduce some of the storage services D. argue about the advantage of storage servicesC When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies（复杂）of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read（or even a two-year-old for that matter）, the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic（having difficulty in reading）.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read（ if badly done it could put them off reading for life ）, there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.64. This passage is mainly about _. A. what qualities people teaching children reading should have B. when and how children should be taught reading C. different age groupings of children to be taught reading D. various problems of children who start learning to read65. In the writers opinion, children start learning to read _. A. at different times B. from word games C. by a certain rule D. early and fast66 . The purpose of labeling items in the room is to _. A. make it more colorful B. help children recognize simple letters C. force children to develop the habit of reading D. teach children to write neatly67. The writer suggests that _. A. children should ask their parents to teach them to read B. children starting to read should ask specialists for help C. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humor. D. children should not feel bored if given ad
