In fact, we just returned home after spending a week of spring break there with our three sons.Many nights, we take the same scenic drive to dinner at a favorite restaurant. As we travel along Gulf Shore Boulevard, we admire a combination of small beach apartments, swanky high-rises and spectacular homes.A few years ago, we noticed that whenever we drive this particular route, there are always two men sitting in front of the same third-floor window of a low-rise apartment building that overlooks the road. All that is visible from the road are their two silhouettes. Even during off-peak months, theyve always been there. Over the years, weve had great fun speculating about who they are, whether theyre having a drink, and if so, what they fancy, where theyre from, and what they might be discussing. Our guesses have become a modern form of car bingo. Widowers? Retirees? Partners? Weve run through the gamut of possibilities.Eventually, I started beeping the horn as we passed. Wed wave. Our new friends would do likewise. There was something comforting in seeing them. In a world of constant change, it has been nice to look up and see that they are there, just as we remember from our last visit. And then last spring, we drove by and they were missing. The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strargety, we drove by and they were missing The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangety, we grew worried about two people wed never even met. Where did they go? A new round of the guessing game began.On our last trip at Christmastime, we were relieved to see them once again. We were driving past about 6 p.m., and there they were at cocktail hour. I told my wife that I suspected they were gin drinkers and said we should buy them a bottle. She said that if I bought it, shed deliver it. I said, “Tomorrow.”36Driving along the scenic route, the authors family were to .Ameet their friends thereBvisit the Florida townCappreciate a place of interestDhave supper together37Why did the author blow the horn?AIt was a pleasure for them to see the two men again.BIt was his habit while driving along the special route.CIt was an agreement between him and the two men.DIt was for the sake of safety while driving.38Which of the following can best describe the family?Agenerous and sensitiveBcurious and kindChelpful and braveDfriendly and hurnorous39Which of the following will best continue this passage?AThe two mens favorite drinks.BThe two mens beach apartmentsCThe reason of the two mens absenceDThe authors next visit to the townBChina is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country. A new report shows a 23 percent increase in the number of Chinese students coming to the U.S.The latest edition of the annual Institute of International Education（IIE）and another US institute found a 5 percent rise in the number of international university students in the US compared to one year ago. There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.Aisa accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a handful of US insitiutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was third and Canada was number four. Chinas Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.Blumenthal attributes the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. Chinas family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrated resources on a single child.The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian student populations of any college in the United States.40Which ranked the third place sharing US higher education?ASaudi ArabiaBSouth KoreaCCanadaDIndia41Why is the number of Chinese students going to the US increasing?AThe US colleges are better than those in China.BEach family in China has only one child.CChina lacks enough educational resources.DChinese students can enter varieties of US colleges.42Which of the following is right according to Peggy Blumenthal?AThe number of Chinese students going to the US has increased by 23%.BThe University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.CChinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.DChinese students know more about US higher education than before.43The best title for the passage can be .AChinese College Students Rush to US SchoolsBThe Large Number of Chinese Students in the USCChinese Students Make Up Largely Foreign Students in the USDAsian Middle School Students in the US UniversitiesCCooler temperatures, attractive colors, smaller crowds autumn is the perfect time for travel and tourism.

Both the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums are worth a visit.Churchill, Manitoba, CanadaHere in the northern Canadian town at Hudson Bay, visitors can see the areas most famous fall residentspolar bears.More than a thousand of the worlds largest land carnivores migrate through the “polar bear capital of the world” during October and November, when the first ice forms on the edge of Hudson Bay. The frozen conditions make it easier for hungry bears to hunt for seals (by walking instead of swimming).Under the snowy, winter weather, visitors can hardly have too many clothes to put on. Insulated boots, jackets, and gloves; layered clothing; thermal underwear; and woolen socks and hats are required.Dublin, IrelandThe Irelands capital and largest city is a center for arts, entertainment, culture and commerce.With few tourists and lower temperatures, fall is the ideal season for walking the historic Georgian streets and cruising the River Liffey.Visitors can explore the citys 20 square kilometers of public gardens, nature reserves, and parks, including St. Stephens Green, which borders Grafton Street, one of the worlds most expensive retail locations.Along the way, enjoy traditional, paper-wrapped fish and chips at Leo Burdock.Healthier eats will be on the menu on October 31, when more than 12,000 runners are expected for the National Lottery Dublin Marathon, named “the Friendly Marathon” for the affable crowds cheering there.44The passage is presented for those who .Acare for fun and culture around the worldBhave planned to go for traveling this autumnChate to have their holidays in other seasonsDhave not ever been to Europe and America45If you spend your holidays on October 31, you may .Aenjoy live music at the beer drinking festivalBwatch polar bears hunt sealsCtaste traditional, paper wrapped fish and clipsDwin a prize in “the Friendly Marathon”46According to the passage, we can know that .ACar exhibitions will be held for two months.BIts not necessary to take more clothes with you to Churehill, MartitobaCThe beer drinking event in German dates from the eighteenth centuryDYour favourite goods might be available in the expensive shop in Dublin47The passage is probably taken from the column of in a newspaper.AeconomicsBscienceCtourismDfashionDThey say that cats have nine lives but our lazy old cat, PJ, had concurrent（并存的）lives and identities. He became well-known for sleeping around the neighborhood and used to nap in the spare bedroom of an elderly couple who lived three doors up from us. While I wasnt always aware of all his liaisons, it didnt matter as long as he always came home at mealtimes.One day we noticed he had gained some weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shops bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didnt seem to notice.Some months later, we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbour saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “Youve got my cat!” She exclained, laughing.We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, hed been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasnt happy. After shouting at him angryily, I let him our and he never returned.A few months later, our new neighbour told us shed seen PJ. It seems that an clderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence hed doubled in size and been given his own sitting room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since hed followed her home.

Know the past cant be changed.Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past, you cant remove or change it by feeling guilty. If you ery and shout, you will not make the past different. It is better not to concentrate on the present. 53 2. 54 If you hurt someone while not meaning it, apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself. What happened in the past will teach you a lesson, so you wont repeat it again, but it is important to forgive youself.3.Let the people you deal wit
