His poor jacketpatched（打补丁）trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips held in a steady smile.He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him， saying， “Here，Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair”Without a word， he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm， she helped him move in front of the chair， and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him，and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it.In a soft，clear voice he said，“Thank you, Miss”“You are welcome, Sir.” she replied，“My name is Mary. Ill be back in a moment. If you need anything， just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes， bacon，and hot lemon tea， Mary brought him the change， helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane， and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him， she said，“Come back and see us，Sir.”He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile，“You are very kind！”When Mary went to clean his table， she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin，under which was a 100$ bill.The note on the napkin read，“Dear Mary，I respect you very much， and you respect yourself，too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you. ”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant.

A cross can be a piece of jewelry or an image ina painting. But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christmas？It came from the story of Jesus death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Jesus was Jewish，and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of Jews. Surely，the Son of God could have saved himself from the death！But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in Gods purpose that it would happen.Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”.At first，it is hard to understand how a terrible day could ever be called good. Well，the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later，Jesus was alive，and the whole world was changed.Today，Christians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross，Jesus body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then，God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter， Good Friday should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did noting wrong. Christian believe that Jesus was Gods substitute(代表) for humans， because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans.Christians often wear crossed around their necks of hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them. It helps them remember how much his Son had to suffer. Seeing a cross always makes them think of Jesus death， and what it means.64According to the bible， why Jesus could not save himself from death that day？A. Jesus was not afraid of death B. God arrange Jesus death for certain purposeC. Jesus should die without a reasonD. Jesus was not Gods Son at all65Which is the right order of the events given in the passage？a.

Jesus did something wrong by acclaiming himself the Son of GodC. God wanted His Son Jesus to live with him in heaven D. God wanted “Good Friday” and “Easter”mainly to be remembered by humans67It can be inferred from the passage that_A. a cross is a piece of jewelry or an image in a painting for ChristiansB. Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”mainly to reduce their pain for the loss of Jesus C. if Jesus hadnt returned to life， people would often wear crosses around their necks or hang them in their homesD.

The warmth of the land heats the air above， causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet， warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow， so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds， which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts，keep temperatures fit for plant growth.Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm， but they have a dry season of
