Sometimes we have problems 36 our schoolwork, or arguments with our friends. Perhaps we 37 worry about our parents problems.What can we do about this? The worst thing is to do 38 . Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone 39 a lot. If we dont talk to anyone, well certainly feel worse.”Robert Hunt, a social worker from England, feels the 40 way. “In English we say that a problem shared is a problem halved. 41 a social worker, I have to agree with this. We should never run away from our problems. We should always try to 42 them. Usually, the first step is finding someone we can talk to.”Even Mr. Hunt agrees that this doesnt need to be an expert(专家) like 43 . We can talk to our friends, teachers, or our parents. We often forget that our parents have 44 experience than us, and are always there to help us. The main thing is to know that if you look for help, youll find it.“Youll feel so much better if you talk to someone,” says Laura. For example, I once lost my purse, and I worried for days. I was 45 to tell my parents about it. I even walked three miles to school each day because I lost all my 46 . I just kept thinking, if I tell my parents, theyll be 47 Anyway, I believe you can guess 48 the story ended. I talked to my parents and they were really understanding. My dad said he sometimes made 49 mistakes himself. They got me a new purse and just asked me to be more careful. I felt so much 50 after talking to them. I will always remember to share my problems in the future!”( ) 36. A. forB. withC. atD. from( ) 37. A. evenB. stillC. yetD. ever( ) 38. A. everything B. anythingC. nothingD. something ( ) 39.

The program works because everyones eyes are different. So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. Youll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change all other ways of finding out who people are. However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers. Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes dont change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94 correct, depending on(依靠) how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51 of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91 of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile! ( )54.

There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away. A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow（弓). That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds.Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, and the next comes orange, then yellow, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.( ) 58.We cannot feel with our hands.A. a pot of gold B. a flower C. a rainbow D. a raindrop( ) 59.
