Every day, I prayed (祈祷) for her.One late summer afternoon, my prayers were 45 and I was taken by surprise. My parents were outside in the garden when my mother suddenly jumped up 46 she had been hit by lightning. She ran into the kitchen, grabbed me gently from behind and 47 me around. With a sparkle (闪光) in her eyes, she 48 asked me if it was true, was I her baby? Tears welling up, I said, yes, it was true. We hugged and cried and neither of us wanted to 49 this magical moment. I knew it could disappear as quickly as it came. She said she always felt a 50 to me and that I was nice, but that it had come to her suddenly that I was her child. We felt 51 .

Playa La Audiencia is a stunning little beach with a golden shoreline which overlooks the bay and offers great conditions for swimming, diving, and other cool water sports such as jet-skiing and kayaking. If you are a diving enthusiast, youll definitely love spending time in Playa La Audiencia since its waters are shallow, calm and filled with rocks covered with corals.Playa Brujas, MazatlanPlaya Brujas is probably one of the best surfing spots in Mazatlan. Playa Brujas is located 20 minutes drive from the heart of Mazatlan and its a popular spot among local surfers. If you are a surfer looking to hit some waves along the west coast of Mexico, youll find Playa Brujas a very good spot to visit since Brujas possesses satisfactory waves all year round.North Beach, Isla MujeresNorth Beach is one of the nicest beaches in Isla Mujeres and its one of Mexicos finest beaches in the Yucatan Peninsula. North Beach boasts a nice stretch of beach with white-powdery sand, warm turquoise waters and great diving spots.The best bit about North Beach besides its private location is that the beach is just minutes away by boat from Cancun, so youre never too far from Cancuns tourist attractions such as Wet n Wild Paterpark and Xplor Eco Park, where you can enjoy caving adventures and zip-line rides.Xpu Ha BeachXpu Ha Beach is located roughly between Tulum and Playa del Carmen and it is a nice spot for relaxing under the sun, walking and horseback riding. Xpu Ha is located along the stunning Riviera Maya and unlike other beaches along the Mexican Riviera, Xpu Ha beach boasts a subtle beach club atmosphere. Xpu Ha Beach isnt as busy as Mamitas beach club but it still possesses cool beach clubs, a rental shop and a hotel.56.If someone has appreciation for horseback riding, he or she should go to .A. North Beach B. Playa la Audiencia C. Xpu Ha Beach D. Playa Brujas57.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Playa Brujas is close to Mazatlan and lies along the east coast of MexicoB. North Beach is the finest beach in the Yucatan Peninsula for its private locationC. Tourists can rent some equipment at Xpu Ha Beach, which is as busy as othersD. When a couple choose a beach with children, Playa la Audiencia is their best choiceBAt home and at work, invisible radio waves from dozens of wireless networks are running through your space and body. Its reasonable to worry about what effect all that wireless energy might have on your health.But while the wireless equipment is becoming popular recently, the kind of radiation they produce has been carefully examined for decades, says John Moulder, a professor from the Medical College of Wisconsin. In 2013, Moulder wrote a report about the existing health research on Wi-Fi. Like your mobile phone, Wi-Fi routers（路由器）send and receive information using radio waves, he says.The research on radio waves and human health goes back at least to the 1950s, when there were concerns about Navy servicemen being exposed（暴露）to powerful shipboard radar（雷达）. “We have 50 or 60 years of research into the kind of radiation connected with Wi-Fi,” Moulder says.Foster was Moulders partner on that 2013 report of Wi-Fis health effects. He says that, based on our understanding of radio wave strengths and risks, world health organizations have set safety standards for all the equipment that gives off radio wavesfrom phones to microwaves.But some experts have more concerns about the types of weak radiation our wireless equipment produces. “We have animal studies suggesting even low-level exposures to the kind of radio wave radiation connected with Wi-Fi could have various negative health effects,” says Joel Moskowitz, a professor from the University of California.Earlier this year, an animal study found heavy exposures to cell phone radiation辐射 increased rats risks for some brain and heart problems. But many of these animal studies are “all over the place” in their design quality, Foster says. Animal research often does not translate to humans. Also, many of the experiments are quite worrying, for the levels of radiation that the tested animals received are far greater than what people suffer when using mobile phones or wireless networks.Moskowitz doesnt disagree with Moulder. But he says the amount of radio wave radiation people receive today is different, and this raises new concerns. When it comes to our long-term, increasing exposures to all our wireless equipment, “were flying blind,” he says.Of course, trying to avoid radio wave exposure is more or less impossible if you live in modern society. Moskowitz advises keeping wireless equipment away from your body and turning off wireless networks when theyre not in use. While any health risks are yet to be proved, “I think trying to minimize exposure is the best advice at this point,” Moskowitz adds.58. What can be inferred from what John Moulder and Kenneth Foster say?A. The study of Wi-Fi dates back to the 1950s.B. There is no need to worry about the use of Wi-Fi.C. People take risks when using phones and microwaves.D. Navy servicemen near radar were in great danger.59. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest?A. Many studies on animals can be seen here and there.B. The design quality of animal research is far from scientific.C. The conditions set for animal studies are similar to those of humans.D. Human beings suffer from stronger radiation than the tested animals.60. Whats Moskowitzs attitude towards the use of wireless equipment?A. Cautious.B. Uncaring.C. Positive.D. Curious.CWhy not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and even their sex, why not just decide which language you want to write? Ever since Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, people have been asking me, “Why dont you write in Italian, Tim? After all, youve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic convenience?Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All these make sense. Critics tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However, one fact is that changing languages doesnt always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The second language never seems to mean quite as much as the first. In any event, after my early experiment, I never went back to write in Italian. Changing language is not the only way to bring energy to your writing.61.The aut
