Yet theres more. We still have fun. Spontaneous good times. Yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, Scott flipped it playfully at me, which led to an all-out war. Last Saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. Even washing dishes can be a blast. We enjoy simply being together. And there are surprises. One time I came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until I reached the walk-in closet. I opened the door to find Scott holding a “pot of gold” (my cooking kettle) and the “treasure” of a gift package. Sometimes I leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow. There is understanding. I understand why he must play basketball with the guys. And he understands why, once a year, I must get away from the house, the kidsand even himto meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing. There is sharing. Not only do we share household worries and parental burdens we also share ideas. Scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. Though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. He touched my heart when he explained it was because he wanted to be able to exchange ideas about the book after Id read it. There is forgiveness. When Im embarrassingly loud and crazy at parties, Scott forgives me. When he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, I gave him a hug and said, “Its okay. Its only money.” 共5题 (1)Which of the following is NOT mentioned as obvious reasons to make the authors love last?

Yesterday, walking across Washington Square, she saw him for the first time in years. “Bill Walker,” she said. He stopped. At first he did not recognize her, to him she looked so old. “Mary!” Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand. She took it. “I live in New York now,” she said. “Oh” smiling politely. Then a little frown came quickly between his eyes. “Always wondered what happened to you, Bill.” “Im a lawyer. Nice firm, way downtown.” “Married yet?” “Sure. Two kids.” A great many people went past them through the park. It was late afternoon. Nearly sunset.

The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the store in the village, returning shortly with Williams daily paper and Williams favorite tobacco. A gundog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times “days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and he never wasted this knowledge. If Williams overslept, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. One evening William slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, five days after the fall, Prince dropped the wallet into Williams hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three pounds, and Williams driving license. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather. 共5题 (1)How did the dog perform his duties? 本题2分 (A) He was delighted to show them off.

(B) Because he lost his conscious all that time. (C) Because he thought the wallet was in the house. (D) Because he had no occasion to feel in his pockets. 你选择的答案： D 正确 44. About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of color blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed. In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, and then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize. Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can. Insects can see ultraviolet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X-rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other
