I didnt want to _37_ her request, so we headed towards the only _38_ in our town. When we arrived, the hill was crowded with people. We found an open spot next to a thin man and his three-year-old son. The boy was already lying in the sled , _39_ to be launched. “Come on, Daddy!” he called. The man looked over at me. “Okay if we go _40_?” he asked.“Sure. Looks like your son is ready to go,” I said. With that, he gave the boy a huge _41_, and off he flew! And the father ran after his son at full speed. “He must be afraid that his son is going to _42_ somebody,” I said to Erica. “Wed better be _43_, too.”Then we also skied down the hill at a great speed. As we returned to the top, I noticed that the man was _44_ his son, who was still lying in the sled, back up to the summit. When we reached the top, the boy was ready to play again. Again, the father _45_ him down the hill, and then pulled both the boy and the sled back up. The little boy was terribly spoilt by his father, I thought. _46_ he was small, the child could pull his own sled up the hill once in a while. This _47_ went on for more than an hour, but the man never _48_, and he was very happy instead. Finally, I could _49_ it no longer. I called to him, “You have tremendous _50_!”The man smiled and said, “He has cerebral palsy (脑瘫). He cant walk. ”I was dumbstruck (惊呆的). It had all seemed so happy, so _51_, that it never occurred to me that the child might be _52_. Although I didnt know the mans name, I told the _53_ in my newspaper column.

If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.What is MP4?It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programsTV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?1. It is suggested here that you should _ before buying an MP4 player. A. first be a music fanB. have a knowledge of MP4 C. get familiar with MP3D. buy a CD-like disc2. From the passage, we can see that MP4 is _ MP3.

It is also found that there is a strong East-West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings. It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media bloggers.When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people read their blogs.The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writes or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday blogs lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written word.However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number.

Co-discoverer Andrew Warren is hoping to raise at least $50,000 by auctioning(拍卖) off the rights to name the 4-inch “owl eye” butterfly, which lives in Sonora, a Mexican state bordering Arizona.“That would support at least two years of research for our team down in Mexico,” Warren said. “Money goes a long way down here in Mexico.”According to the scientific tradition, discoverers of a new species have the say in naming it. In recent years, some discoverers have auctioned off their naming rights to raise money.Warren said the amount being sought for the butterfly is not out of the question, noting that naming rights for a new monkey species brought in $650,000 two years ago. A group of 10 new fish species that went on the naming auction block at the same time earlier this year brought in a total of $2 million.The butterfly discovered by Warren and researcher George Austin ranges as far north as Mexico.The butterfly was actually in a collection, misidentified as an example of another new species, at the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at the Florida Museum of National History in Gainesville, said Warren. They soon began the hard process of determining that it was indeed a “new” model of butterfly.After checking photos and comparing it with other known species, they determined it was a separate species.9. Where did the researchers discover the new species of butterflies? A. In Sonora.B. In Mexico state. C. In a place in US.D. Near the US-Mexico border.10. Why will the researchers sell the naming rights of the butterfly?A. To raise money for wildlife protection. B.To raise money for more research.C.To cause peoples attention to the new discovery. To cover the cost of the research.11. When the butterfly was first discovered, people thought _.A. it was a new species at onceB. it wasnt a species of American butterflyC. it belonged to the monarch branchesD. it belonged to a new species12. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the new species of butterfly live both in the US and MexicoB. it took the researchers a lot of efforts to determine the new species of butterflyC. the researchers are not sure whether they can get the money they want from the auctionD. it is the first time that the new species of butterfly has been found DThey were going to Fort Lauderdale three boys and three girls and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of Now York went behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsons, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnsons, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I dont know.”“You dont know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions,
