New design has been made 42 for people who run slowly. But perhaps sneakers are 43 used by children in the United States. In fact American children of 44 ages would much rather play in sneakers than anything else, except perhaps 45 at all.New York City once held a poetry contest (诗歌比赛) for children. The subject was only “sneaker”. Thousands of children sent in their 46 and praised the sneakers they love.

When their sneakers wear out (穿破), children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between 53 ?

We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time. When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didnt have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something warm to drink; however, it was not this that I remember, because that is not what moved me. A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother, and that she had just had some pups (小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didnt eat soon, she and her pups would not live. People walking by didnt even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved (值得) better. We still did not do anything, but someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went into the store and bought dog food with all the money he had.56. Where did the story happen?A. In front of the local restaurant.B. In front of a building.C. In the car parking lot. D. Near the authors house. 57. What do we know about the dog?A. The author wanted to help the dog, but he was un-able to.B. The dog and her pups were in danger of dying from hunger.C. The dog was not cute enough to be loved.D. The author didnt like dogs.58. Which of the following moved the author?A. The homeless man had no money to buy food for himself. B. The homeless man wore worn clothes on cold days.C. The homeless man bought food for a dog with all his money. D. Most people walking by the dog didnt notice her.59. What can we conclude(得出结论) from the passage? A. The author was so hungry that he went into the local restaurant to eat.B. The author didnt understand what the homeless man did.C. The dog shouldnt be taken care of carefully because it looked ugly. D. Things are not always what they seem. 60. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Memory B. A Poor Dog C. The Homeless Person D. A Mother DogBAmong the many differences between Western and Chinese cultures, table manners are one of the most noticeable(显著的) differences. Westerners often make mistakes at the table in China or in a Chinese home. In order not to have an embarrassing（尴尬的） experience, here are some things to consider next time you are eating with some Chinese.Step1: Keep in mind that food is shared. It is one of the biggest differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. In China a few dishes are placed in the center of a table and shared by all. Also, you should offer thanks when a Chinese host takes food from one of the dishes on the table and places it on your plate. Refusing it would not be polite even if you are full.Step2: Respect the chopsticks. The chopsticks are the single most important tool at a Chinese table. Use the chopsticks to grab food and never skewer (叉) it. Also make sure to place your chopsticks over your bowl or plate. Dont lay them on the table or even worse, stick them into the rice bowl. Step3:Use communal(共用的)chopsticks. To take food from the center of the table you should use the communal chopsticks or spoons that are placed there for that purpose. If there are no communal tools, use the other ends of your chopsticks to take food, remembering not to use the other end to put food into your mouth. Step4: Respect the elders. Table manners in China place extra respect on elders. At the table, pass food to your elders before taking it for yourself. If someone makes a toast, make sure that when you clink glasses with someone older than you, the rim of your glass is lower than the rim of the elder person.62. According to the passage, the following are wrong EXCEPT that _.A. you dont have to accept the food a Chinese host places on your plate B. a skewer is also a commonly used tool at a Chinese tableC. one can offer his own chopsticks for communal use when there arent anyD. when clinking glasses, the rim of the younger person should be lower than that of the older person63. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To let the world get a full understanding of China. B. To introduce table manners among different cultures.C. To introduce Chinese table manners to Westerners.D. To introduce how Chinese table manners came into being.CMy grandmother seems to be wrong when she says that good manners will never go out of style. Several days ago, I tried entering a lift with one of my arms fixed in a bandage(绷带) while carrying a computer bag in the other. Not being fast enough, I was passed by two young people who managed to get into the lift before me. The lift door closed only after I entered. Having already pressed their wanted floor button, the young people waited impatiently for me to press the button for where I was going. If they had decided to help, we could have moved much faster. But they had not. So I did my best and pressed the button with my arm. The two young people looked very angry with me. I was losing heart. The memory of this incident has stayed with me because it followed shortly after my buildings watchman refused to help me carry a heavy box full of books. His answer was that he could not carry the books a few meters because it was not his job. However, I remembered myself helping people for so many years carrying boxes, shopping bags, or pushing wheelchairs upon the request of a stranger in need or when my conscience(良心) called on me. Oh, this young generation, they have no manners, ”my grandmother would say. The idea of good manners refers to the considering of other peoples feelings. We need more and more people to have good manners. Good manners should be-come part of our lives. 64. The author believes that _. A. good manners will never go out of styleB. her grandmother is rightC. good manners are disappearing little by little D. it never rains, but it pours65. How did the two young people feel when the author pressed the button? A. Excited. B. Angry. C. Sad. D. Confident.66. The watchman didnt help the author because _. A. the box was full of booksB. the box was too heavyC. the author was a stranger D. he thought it was not his job67. We can infer from the passage that the author _. A. always offers help to people in needB. always has difficulty carrying thingsC. has a better memory than anyone elseD. agreed with her grandmother at firstDDo you love holidays but hate the increase（增长的） weight that follows? You are not alone.Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you. Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They dont have fat content as cream and chocolate.Dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess (过多的) calories. 68. Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may_.A. bring weight problems B. bring you much trouble in your life C. make you worried about your foods D. make you hate delicious foods69. In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, youd better _.

According to the passage, _ is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight. A. vegetables B. water C. calories of energy D. physical exercise71. Many people cant help putting on weight after the holidays because they _. A. cant control themselves B. go to too many feasts C. enjoy delicious foods D. cant help turning away from the foodsEIf you get a cellphone call, your sleeve(袖子) will soon be able to answer it. If you want to know how far youve run, your trousers will be able to tell you. Cant decide what to wear? Wish your clothes were smart enough to decide for you? A new computer science technology may be able to help your clothing to do just that. Mark Jones, a computer scientist, says, We view electronic textiles (电子纺织品) as, sort of, where computing meets the fabric (编织品). This high-tech marriage is bringing up th
