Eight months later, I began to come out of the fog of grief and depression to find a new purpose for my life.Like many of my generation, I had lived only for myself traveling, acquiring possessions, rising to a position of importance and harvesting financial rewards. I volunteered for various causes, but really didnt give of (付出) myself.In the spring after moms death, I found myself waking in the middle of the night with one persistent thought. I felt willing to offer myself as a living kidney (肾) donor. My husband Robb had received the gift of life through a kidney transplant from a donor in 1999, so I was familiar with the great need for donors and knew several people who were waiting for a lifesaving transplant. I decided to offer myself to be matched with the most suitable person on the waiting list at my local transplant center.I was paired with a 71yearold grandmother from New Jersey who had survived for six years on peritoneal dialysis (腹膜透析). At her 70th birthday, her family held a big party as they did not expect her to live much longer. She has become my very good friend. Almost two years after our operation, I was invited to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband, their five children and their extended family.In donating my kidney, I extended myself in a way far beyond what I ever believed was possible. I did so in honor of my mother who sacrificed so much for me and my sisters, and in memory of my husbands donor who extended her life through him.I encourage all who enjoy the gift of good health to share with others, either as a living donor or by designating (签订) organ donation upon death. By extending yourself through organ donation, you will live on through others in a miraculous(奇迹的) way and give comfort to your loved ones.39The author used to _.Abe given much help from others Bown a lot of possessionsCcare mainly about herself Dhold a position of little importance40What did the author want to do in the spring after her moms death?AShe wanted do donate a kidney to her husband.BShe wanted to become a living kidney donor.CShe wanted to thank the one who had donated a kidney to her husband.DShe wanted to find a living kidney donor for her husband.41What do we know about the authors husband?AHe recovered through peritoneal dialysis.BHe was still living on peritoneal dialysis.CHe was waiting for a kidney donor.DHe might have died without a kidney donation from another.42The old grandmothers family held a big party to_.Athank the author for her donationBcelebrate her 50th wedding anniversary with her husbandCcelebrate her living for they thought she was not able to live much longerDcelebrate her recovery from illnessCThe Expo 2010 Shanghai China is essentially a worlds fair. At this fair, 189 countries build structures, called “pavilions”， to showcase (展览，展示) the architecture, style and theme of the pavilions, as well as present displays, presentations, and a variety of programming inside the pavilions. There are also many organizations and corporations that participate in the Expo by building pavilions related to their own special interests.The main purpose of the Expo is to showcase whatever each country has to offer with hopes that people or corporations from other countries will be impressed and decide to conduct business in that country.For example, Switzerland has a pavilion that showcases their diversity, the Swiss Alps, and the high quality of life in Switzerland. Cuba will highlight what they are famous for：cigars and cocktails.The architecture, the themes, and the displays inside of the pavilions are all designed to promote the benefits of the various countries. Basically, the countries are trying to sell themselves to the rest of the world with hopes that it will translate into more opportunities for their countries.The World Expo is similar to the Olympic Games in some ways. Theyre both global in scale and cities from around the world compete to become the host city for the event. The Olympics are held every 4 years, but the World Expo is held every 5 years. The World Expo actually runs for 6 months, much longer than the Olympic Games.The city chosen to host a World Expo will get similar benefits as a city that hosts the Olympic Games. Some of the benefits include worldwide exposure, improved global status, revenue from tourism, and citywide improvements to handle the millions of expected visitors. Many people say that the costs involved outweigh(超过) any benefits that might get from the event.43The main purpose of the Expo is to show _.Ahow developed a country is Bthe high quality life in a countryCthe best businesses in a country Dwhat a country is famous for44At the pavilion of Switzerland, people can learn about _.Ahow high the Swiss Alps is Btheir high quality lifeCtheir cigars and cocktails Dthe long history of Switzerland45The participating countries build the pavilions mainly to _.Ashow their unique architectural stylesBfind new opportunities for their countriesCattract foreign visitorsDsell what they have to offer46We can infer from the last paragraph that _.Aa host city can benefit more from the World Expo than from the Olympic GamesBthe World Expo is less beneficial compared with the Olympic GamesConly a host city can benefit from the World ExpoDmany people are doubtful about the benefits of the World ExpoDFor years I wanted a flower garden.Id spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.But then we had Matthew.And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan.And then Helen. Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and Id have to say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesnt grow on trees, you know.”Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.I wasnt sure, though.I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, nofrills budget.Then, one spring morning, on Mothers Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on and I couldnt believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard!I went outside to look.It was true！There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars！There was also a note attached：“IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.”Marvin kept his promise, too.He dug up a nice tenbyfifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.That was three years ago.My gardens now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they are right there with me.I live up in Michigans Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers Ill see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes every time.Im still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!47By saying “Do you see a money tree outside？”， the mother actually means “_”AObservation is the best teacher BSeeing is believingCThe outsider sees the most of the game DIt is not easy to gain money48The best title for the passage would probably be_.AMy flower garden BMarvin helps to realize my dreamCLove in Michigan DMoney grows on trees49The underlined word “nofrills” in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to “_”Awasteful Btight Cabsurd Dhelpful50From the last two paragraphs we can infer that the mother is_.Adivorced when she was youngBnot caring for her kids any longerCalone but not at all lonelyDprouder with her garden than with her kidsIV.任务型阅读I used to be the messiest person alive.Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen.Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesnt work, you have way two and way three to lean back on.Therefore, different ways are needed at hand.Its just a matter of being organized.Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesnt work, one of other ones will.Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary.It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the timeframe you set for yourself.Dont try to tackle more things all at a time.All that does is to delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible.You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.Last but not the least, you should never abandon things midproject.It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself.Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money. So, dont be afraid of organization.The older we get, the more nece
