No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didnt care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenialovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery .My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.56. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. A Childhood Dream.B. A Mothers Love. C. A Graduation Party.D. A Special Birthday.57. The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _. A. she could take care of things herself B. she hoped she would find a boyfriend C. she wanted her to be happy and strong D. she thought education was most important58. Who was the sender of the flower? A. A boy the writer had run into.B. One of the writers neighbors. C. One of the writers classmates.D. The writers mother BHave you ever hear a saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.In a word, you cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge a book by its cover.59. The passage suggests that _.A. a good writer may not be a good speakerB. a good writer is always a good speakerC. a speechless person always writes wellD. a good writer will find himself speechless 60. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class _.A. is an intelligent student B. may not be an intelligent studentC. will score better in exams D. will not be a good student61. The passage suggests that we should judge a persons intelligence through _.A. his teachers B. his deeds in the classroomC. his appearance D. his reactions to different situations62. The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to_.A. judge a book by its coverB. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidC. overestimate a students intelligenceD. judge a persons intelligence by his appearance d the oldCI felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly.But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight.I could hardly stay above the surface.Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them of quickly while I swam for both of us.Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other. But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船员）might not have noticed our disappearance.And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as we could ,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash of the ship and the whale had appeared at about eleven oclock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,as long as the sea remained calm.63.Why did the two men cut their clothes?A.Because no people helped them to take off their clothes.B.Because they couldnt take off their clothes on the sea.C.Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly.D.Because they wanted to lifebuoys（救生圈）with their clothes.64.What does the word “still” in the last paragraph mean?A.not movingB.evenC.yetD.however65.In order to save their strength,_.A.one of them pushed the other while swimming and then they changedB.they both swam calmlyC.they crossed their arms and stretched their legs on the waterD.they lay on their backs instead of swimming66.Which one of the following is true?A.Neither of the two men was good swimmers.B.The sea was calm before daylight.C.The story took place at night.D.The two men had to swim eight hours to catch up with the ship DPALO ALTO, California-“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter- even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.67. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _.A. Children will get fatter if they eat too muchB. Children will get thinner if they eat lessC. Children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD. Children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV68. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV_ on average. A. is more than four hours a day B. is less than four hours a day C. doubled in the last twenty years D. is more than on any other activities69. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about _. A. six hours B. eight hours C. three hours D. one hour70. Which one of the following is right?A. Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.B. Children usually eat more while watching TV. C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV. EIts you and I who are to blame for the state of the earth . No question about it . Its our life-style that is threatening life on Earth , so we must make the changes . The good news is that many of those changes are really quite simple , even enjoyable , but for every careful step we take as individuals , we must press government and industry to take a big step on our benefit .
