With Aunt Aspa we would pick lemons off her lemon trees and carry them inside the small house with the help of Uncle Spyro. Drinking the fresh lemonade and eating the delicious almonds, we would sit on the porch and talk. Uncle Spyro and Aunt Aspa didnt speak English, and my Greek wasnt and still isnt perfect.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)：（14分）We often say that intelligence (智力) means being able to solve problems. Sometimes animals seem able to do this. _85_, dogs and cats often find their way home from long distance. To do this, they have to use their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They _86_ thousands of miles every year when they move from cold to warm countries. We do not know how they do this, but we know they do not use their intelligence. They do not remember places and directions and then make decisions. _87_ birds are able to make these journeys without help as soon as they can fly. They are born with this ability. This is not intelligence. We call this instinct (本能).Often we can not be sure whether an animal is _88_ intelligently. When a dog hears a strange noise, it barks. This is instinct. It can not stop itself from doing this. It does not _89_know why it is doing this. But suppose a house is on fire and the dog barks outside its masters bedroom until he wakes up. Is the dog using its intelligence? Is it solving the problem by waking its master or is it simply barking instinctively because it is afraid? Often we can not be sure.Many animals, however, can be taught to solve problems, especially when they are given _90_. Rats have been taught to touch a key .to get food. Animals in circuses have been taught to do all sorts of tricks to amuse the audience. In all these cases, we may say that an animal is using intelligence. This may be thought of as a _91_ kind of intelligence.85. A) In fact B) For example C) On the other hand D) At present86. A) travel B) litter C) escape D) jump87. A) Early B) Clean C) Young D) Big88.

Now I have changed my ideas about friendships. Friends of convenienceThey can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our childrens closest friends. Friends of convenience are convenient i_92_ .Theyll help us when we need it. Theyll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we dont ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional distance. That m_93_ well talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed. However, people still feel these friendships valuable to them. Special-interest friendsThese friendships arent deeply personal or emotional. Their value is that they can s_94_ interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.Historical friendsWe all have a friend who knew us when . maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our s_95_ to.The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have 1_96_ in common now, but were still a personal part of each others past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together reminds us of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and n_97_ lost.Cross-generational friendsThese are friendships that form across generations. I have in my own life a p_98_ friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents not only an ideal mother to me but also the person Id like to be when I grow up.Best friends, I believe, totally trust, support and love each other.E.
