For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I work; a visit to the museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the whole vacation passed.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “Whats the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a sad voice, “I dont?”“What do you mean?”“Wellthat checkup I had several weeks agoour doctorDid he tell you something about me? Tom, youve been so good to meam I dying?”It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, “Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.”56. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_”.A. TypicallyB. Independently C. ImpressivelyD. Unconditionally57. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _.A. with his kidsB. with Evelyn C. alone D. with his friends58. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.A. he was determined to be a good husbandB. he had made lots of money in his Wall Street firmC. she looked lovely in her new clothesD. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill59.

By saying “Im just starting to live,” Tom means that _.A. he is starting to understand the real meaning of lifeB. he is beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandC. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD. he feels regretful for what he did to his wife before BA team of researchers recently created a robot that can repair itself! The newly designed machine can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unexpected damage, it may be especially useful in exploring unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, one of the devices creators. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robots movements and signals to its built-in computer. From the formation it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robots legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walkingit used three legs instead of four.The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One possible spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually regrow its legs.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.61. The newly designed robot is different from the former ones because it _.A. can communicate with people on the earth about its problemsB. works according to a certain computer programC. can sense and recover from injury on its ownD. can explore unfamiliar places62. An example is given in Paragraph 2 in order to explain that the robot _.A. is used to create its own programs B. has typical robot functionsC. has sensors to observe its movementsD. can adapt to new conditions63. The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot _.A. is creativeB. uses advanced technology C. recovers easilyD. is informative64. What might be the best title of the passage?A. StarfishA New Kind of Robot B. Do-It-Yourself Robot RepairC. Robots Designed to Work On Other PlanetsD. New Robot Helping Us in Many Ways65. Which of the following is True about the Starfish?A. It has more than four legs.B. It hasnt been officially named.C. It can regrow its legs quickly.D. It has started to work in the ocean floor.

My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman. At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husbands quest to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitudes, we reluctantly put on our snow gear(用具) and headed outside. It wasnt long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman. In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, gigantic snowman. People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed. With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowmans remains to look like a rabbit. As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart. The email said: your neighbor looks on in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with vigor and joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love, sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around. Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. Id like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours. 71. How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first?A. By having a busy day.B. By staying at home. C. By building a snowman.D.
