From then on I always 21 at home and with friends.That winter I noticed that many 22 people had difficulty getting to the 23 store after a snowstorm. So I started to spend part of a 24 Saturday knocking at apartment doors to ask if any one needed 25 from the store. The grocery store was down a huge hill and I would bring 26 a couple of bags of groceries for them. I liked it and it made them so 27 .It started with 28 alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 29 in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them 30 and it became a routine. I 31 asked for or took money for it. Sometimes the ladies 32 put secretly the change in my pocket. I would just buy something the next time to give to them, 33 flowers or a card. I did this every 34 up to when I left to go to college.When I was away at 35 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she 36 what I used to do I had never told her.Now, Im a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 37 : Everyone in the world needs help, and everyone can also 38 help.

The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors code for preparing yourself to die.I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and Im fine now.This was the closest Ive been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Your time is so limited that you shouldnt waste it repeating someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma（教条） which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.41.

A. follow others adviceB. take no notice of diseases C. take exercise and keep healthy D. have the courage to follow our heartBHalloween is one of the worlds oldest holidays. But Halloween is still celebrated today by more people in more countries than ever before. Theres a simple reason: It is fun and it is good, clean, harmless fun for young and old alike! Austria In Austria, the reason why it is done is that it would welcome the dead souls back to earth, for this particular night is considered to be magical. CanadaModern Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Jack O Lanterns(南瓜灯) are carved and the festivities include parties, trick-or-treat and the decorating of homes with pumpkins and corn stalks（梗）.

The origin of Halloween C. The development of Halloween D. Halloween traditions and celebrations around the worldCPeople tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this. The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.” Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr. Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open , especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking.” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you dont know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to .”49. The subject discussed in this passage is .A. how people open up when emailing B. how people do research studies C. how to communicate at work D. how to discuss and solve a problem 50.

What do the underlined words (in para. 4) refer to?A. The telegraph. B. The computer. C. Emailing.D. Face-to-face talk.52. In the writers opinion, one should . A. focus on oneself when emailing B. talk more freely in email than usual C. discuss any subject that one wants to D. consider how one uses email at work DEver since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion（混淆）over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever. Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye（颜料）that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003. Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been trying to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled. Last week Sudans Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification(澄清) of the origin of the dyes name. Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudans Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dyeWe want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there. she said. Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship. The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week. They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name, she said. People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out. Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyesused for colouring oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. 53. What does the underlined word “carcinogenic” mean in paragraph one?A. Causing cancer. B.

She grew up in poverty, and lived in the slums during wartime. Her mother, an unlucky actress, instilled(灌输) starring aspirations in the little Sofia. Her first taste of glamour came at fourteen when she was awarded one of twelve Princesses of the Sea in a beauty contestan honor for which she earned a railroad ticket to Rome, and 23,000 lira (about $35).Sofia met producer and future husband Carlo Ponti while competing in another beauty contest. Though she placed second, Ponti gave her a screen test and advanced her career in a succession of low-budget Italian productions. Sofia Lazzaro, as she was then known, became Sophia Loren in 1952, Sophia then came to Hollywood. She played her first English-speaking role. In 1961, she received an Academy Award for Two Women.
