If so, I would have said to her,“Hi, my dearest sister! Do you know how much I love you and how much I feel proud of you?”Every time when alone, I am always thinking how much happiness she once brought to the people who loved her, I can still remember her smile which was so bright and so beautiful, her voice which was so pleasing to the ear and her love so deep for people!She was pretty, nice, pure, lively and . Oh, she had many merits (优点)，which always made many other girls envy (妒忌) her. She had also some bad habits. She liked to turn up radio so loudly that people often felt a bit unbearable about the noise. She carelessly threw her dirty stockings about, which used to make her parents angry. She sometimes let our strange laughter without any reason that often made people frightened. However, if you put her beautiful character on one side of a balance and her bad habits on the other, you would find the bad habits which you think unbearable are so unimportant.I have no more chance to tell her what I am thinking about her now, though I wish she would know it in heaven. That day she phoned me, saying,“Hi, sister! I rang you just because I wanted to tell you that I love you and and nothing more. Now I have something else to do. Bye !”And the next day came the news about her death. She left me the thing which I would cherish (珍爱) in my mind for ever.I know that I will never have any chance to tell my sister that I love her very much. But I think I still have many chances to tell other people that I love them. And I think people may have many chances to tell the same thing to the people they love.

There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up, yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight. And sometimes, they win. It may take years. It certainly takes support from parents and doctors.Unfortunately, many parents cant deal with their childs illness. And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like these, the Childrens Cancer Foundation (formerly the Childrens Cancer Fund) can help. Were a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists(心理学家), parents of children with cancer and concerned persons. All of us are volunteers. Were with the children every day, listening to and encouraging them. We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding has brought better equipment to the wards(病房), and paid for special flats where children can recover in a clean, yet cheerful home setting.We want to do even more. But to do it, we need your support. It will be money well spent. One like at our past achievements(成就)should prove that. To the children, your contribution will also be a show of support, a sigh that youre behind them, which is just the sort of news that a six-year-old with cancer needs to hear.61.This passage is most probably _.

They worked hard and tried to obey the boss. But they were ready to help others. Once an old man was hurt when he was repairing a machine. Mr. Cook refused to send him to hospital but the two young men didnt listen to him and took him there. The boss had to pay for all the expenses. He was angry with them and made an excuse to send them away.Mr. Cooks brother was the head of the police station in the town and nobody dared to employ the two young men any longer. They had to go to another town where young workers were needed in the mines. And when they got there, there was only a coin left in their pocket. Of course they could buy only two pieces of bread. They thought for a while and George found a way. He went in a shop and put the coin on the counter and the boss handed two pieces of bread to him. Then he asked, “Excuse me, sir. Wheres the nearest hospital, please?”“Hospital?”the boss asked in reply.“Yes, sir,”George said, coughing.“Ive got bad pulmonary tuberculosis(肺结核)!”Hearing this, the man threw the coin out of his shop and called out angrily,“Get out of here!”George picked up the coin and ran away. They came to another shop where all kinds of cakes were sold. George passed the coin to Harry and said, “Its your turn now, my friend.”65.Mr. Cook refused to send the worker to the hospital because_.

But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organization. Old people, too, have more money than their own parents and grandparents had.The biggest disadvantage of modern life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up, and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters like their parents or grandparents. An old persons one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearly, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when people stop work. When people retire(退休), they find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than fifty years ago. It makes you think, doesnt it? What will it be like when the todays young people are old?69.To the old people, the changes in society are _. A. better than expected B. not as good as they wish C. both good and bad D. difficult to understand70.Although some old people live near their sons or daughters, _.A. they still feel lonelyB. they want to move to other placesC. they have no time to look after their grandchildrenD. they like to live with their own brothers and sisters71.In the 19th century old people didnt have so many problems because _.

Modern society only belongs to the youngK. Todays young people are happier than their parentsL. Modern life has brought new problems to the oldM. It is necessary to take better care of the old peopleEFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred time worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants(污染物)can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. it is said that when builders began making houses and offices, they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildings green plants. Scientists so not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb(吸收) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean th
