He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, Im at last seeing another side of my father.

In one area of the rainforest, he watched a bird flying through the trees. The beautiful sight left quite an impression on him. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down in the area he visited.That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, in 1999, he used his research for the book to create a website. The site is Mongabay. Com. His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject quickly developed. As a former businessman, he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.The popularity of Mongabay. Com attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mongabay. Com has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children which is called kids. Mongabay. Com. Another one, WildMadangascar. Org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs(狐猴). He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers, students and teachers. In April, Time. Com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.63. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Rhett Butler and his website.B.

But people are starting to see the lighter side of it now, especially when it comes to masks(口罩)。In Mexico City, one man was wearing a mask with a painted moustache(八字胡). A woman at an airline counter (柜台) was seen wearing a mask with a painted butterfly on.Things were similar back in 2003 when SARS hit China. People wore masks painted with animals, flowers and even Hello Kitty.History likes to repeat itself. Today, many people around the world have been seen wearing cool face masks of one type or another. But what matters most is whether they can really protect you from the virus.Most people were wearing loose-fitting(宽松的) face masks, which can help stop fluids spreading from the person wearing the mask. The masks are not, however, created to protect the wearer from breathing in very small particles(微粒) or germs(细菌). Respirators( 呼吸器) are designed for this.These respirators, known for their filtering(过滤) ability, are tighter fitting than ordinary face masks. Air can be breathed through the filter, but it is easier to breathe through a face mask over a long period of time.American health officials said that they have no idea how helpful all the masks are in preventing the flu. However, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said that masks, especially respirators, might reduce the risk of getting flu if used properly.Any mask should be used along with other everyday practices. These include frequent hand-washing, covering of the mouth when coughing and avoiding close contact with infected people.Malaysias Sin Chew Daily newspaper advised: A(H1N1) flu is frightening, but people should have the confidence to defeat it. History has proved that human beings have the ability to defeat contagious(传染性)diseases.67.The writer take a(n) _ attitude toward A(H1N1) flu.A. nervous B. confident C. pessimistic D. indifferent68.

A respirators isnt the only way to prevent the fearful fluC. Wearing masks may prevent us from being infectedD. Awful as A(H1N1) flu is, humans are sure to win the battle70.

They think its a fashion to use mobile phones. Besides, its very convenient to get in touch with their families and friends by using mobile phones. But some students break the rules in class. They bring their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear the rings of mobile phones in class. Some of them even waste precious time in class typing short messages on the mobile phones.In my opinion, the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge. Therefore quietness is badly needed fir us to learn our lessons. Those with mobile phones shouldnt take mobile phones to the classroom. We are supposed to concentrate on our studies. The school should make a rule to forbid the students to use mobile phones in the classroom.Yours sincerely,Wang Li高考英语七选五及答案15套（2）(2012-10-30 07:56:11)转载(十五)DearSir,I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport.

All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.1Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywoods Oscars, turn 50 years old.The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie.2Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries.3The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience dont mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the im
