Suddenly, dark clouds 31 up overhead and rain began to fall, but 32 to relate, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. I rode as rapidly as I could. 33 , I found it impossible to get into the clear. The 34 with their rain kept advancing faster than I could 35 forward. I continued this unequal 36 for an exhausting half hour, before realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me. Then it dawned on me that I was 37 my strength, while paying no attention to the 38 for the sake of which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not 39 . Indeed, there was much to look at that might otherwise have 40 me. I saw colors, lines and contours(轮廓) that would have appeared 41 under brilliant light. My anger at the rain was 42 and my desire to escape it disappeared. It had 43 me with a new view and helped me understand that the sources of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the 44 of ones own sensibility. It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was 45 . It helped me realize that there is no 46 in fleeing from circumstances and conditions which cannot be 47 , but I could bravely meet and often turned them to good ones. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with 48 , disappointment with spirit, and victory with humility(谦虚). It has become 49 to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner(前兆) of final victory, and that all achievements are fragile 50 based on enduring principles of moral conduct. 31.

He took the note and it read “Can I have a leg of lamb, please? The dog has money in his mouth as well.”The butcher took the money and put the lamb in a bag, placing it in the dogs mouth. The butcher was so impressed, and he decided to shut up the shop and follow the dog. The dog walked down the street then came to a bus stop, and started looking at the timetable, checked out the times, and then sat on one of the seats provided. Along came a bus.

Runners will appear in a few weeks. Strawberries grown in containers need a soil depth of about twenty-five to thirty centimeter. Be sure the container has holes in the bottom. Strawberries grow well in loamy soil that lets water pass through easily. Carl Wilson at the Colorado State University Extension suggests mixing about three to five percent organic material into the soil. Part of caring for strawberries is renovation(革新). Once the plants have produced fruit, they become less productive. Renovation means removing a lot of the old plants to let newer ones replace them. The Agricultural Extension Service at the University of Tennessee says growers should do this every year after harvest. Renovation also includes adding fertilizer. Adding nitrogen(氮) as a side or top dressing in late summer will supply nutrients to the fruit buds for the following spring. California grows most of the strawberry crop in the United States. The fifty-first year of the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival is this weekend south of Los Angeles. The Web site Strawberryfestival. org says it began as a way to bring the city of Garden Grove together. A local public relations man suggested a celebration of the areas once plentiful strawberry fields. It grew into one of the largest community festivals in the western states, complete with the worlds largest strawberry shortcake. The festival has a parade, carnival rides, games and a karaoke singing contest called “Strawberry Idol”. 55. According to the passage June bearing can get a crop _ . A. in the summer.

He lived with his mother, Bettye Jean Gardner, whom he adored, and, when necessary, in foster homes (寄养家庭). Despite a life of hardship and emotional scarring, his mother provided him with strong spiritual genes and taught him some of the greatest lessons of his life, which he follows to this day.She convinced him that in spite of where he came from, he could attain whatever goals he set for himself by saying, If you want to, one day you could make a million dollars. Gardner believed this to be fact, and knew he would have to find a career he could be passionate (热情的) about, one that would allow him to be world-class at something. Though he was hardworking and determined, a series of circumstances in the early 1980s left him homeless in San Francisco and the single guardian of his 2-year-old son.He was unwilling to give up his son and his dream of financial independence. Though without connections or a college degree, he still somehow earned a spot in a stockbroker (股票经纪人) training program. Often spending his nights in a church shelter or the bathroom at a train station in Oakland, Gardner ended up the only trainee offered a job at Dean Witter Reynolds in 1981.Today, hes the CEO of Christopher Gardner International Holdings, a company he founded with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. The amazing story of his life was published as an autobiography, The Pursuit of Happiness, and is the inspiration (灵感,启示) for the movie of the same name starring Will Smith.59.

But at least you know that the dress wont damage your health, for this is no ordinary set of clothes you are wearing. Set within the fabric are numerous sensors, constantly monitoring your vital signs. If danger signs are detected, the garment is programmed to contact your doctor- and send a text message telling you to take it easy. Garments that can measure a wearers body temperature or trace his or her heart activity are just entering the market, but the European project BIOTEX weaves new functions into smart textiles. Miniaturized biosensors in a textile patch can now analyze body fluids, even a tiny drop of sweat, and provide a much better assessment of someones health. Jean Luprano is a researcher at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Micro-technology (CSEM). “One of the most obvious applications for smart fabrics is in the medical field,” he says. “There has been a good deal of progress with physiological measurements, body temperature or electro-cardiograms（心电图）. But no one has yet developed biochemical sensing techniques that can take measurements from fluids like sweat and blood. We are developing a suite of sensors that can be integrated into a textile patch. The patch is a sensing and processing unit, adaptable to target different body fluids and biochemical species. At the very least, some basic biochemical analyses could complement（补助）the physiological measurements that can already be monitored. In some circumstances, fluidic analysis may be the only way to get information on a patients health status. 63. The first paragraph is written to _ . A. describe a common scene in peoples life. B. introduce the topic of the passage. C. tell us to have a smooth start of our day. D. predict the new garments to appear. 64. The garments are special because they can _ . A. make physiological measurements of a patient. B. tak
