Back then, she was a super student at Colorado State University. She attended all school activities and played hockey and volleyball regularly. In the fall of 1998, her health started going downhill.Her diagnosis turned out to be something shed never considered: Stage II colon cancer. Mollys initial reaction was to think that she was doomed (注定的).Then, right after she received the diagnosis, she got a phone call from a friend named Rocky. She interrupted his birthday wishes and told him she had cancer. He said, “That sounds bad, but youll get through this.” His straightforward statement jump-started Mollys fighting spirit.She depended on her friends and family even more as she went through eight months of chemotherapy (化疗).“Without them, I dont know where Id be. I had some friends who just stopped calling,” she says. “When that happened, it hurt. My true friends stuck by me, though.”Another source of strength also helped her. “When I went in for chemotherapy, there was this woman always smiling. We would talk, and she was worse off than me. There she was telling me, You have to think Im going to win.”Molly did. Determined to share her message of hope, in May 2000, she set off on a well-known journey that she called Rolling to Recovery 2,000 miles from New York to Colorado on the inline skate, collecting more than $60,000 for cancer charities.Cancer didnt mean the end of Mollys life, as shed initially feared.

Molly got a lot of encouragement from another patient suffering severe illness. D. Molly drove 2,000 miles alone to collect money for cancer charities.BNew to my first “real job” out of college, I had no idea how much there was to learn. I took it for granted that being on time and doing a good job were all I needed to do. Was I wet behind the ears or what? Myra was the queen bee at this office. Her title might have been secretary, but she had power over many employees. It was very important to stay on her good side. If I strayed onto her bad side, there would be lots of problems, so I had to protect myself. I gave up my chair for her the minute she joined the office coffee break and did other nice things, but, of course, nothing worked! And the harder I tried, the worse it got. April 15th was nearing. Minnesotas winter would be officially over, but Myra was snowed under with appointments and photocopies to make, as well as many other things. She complained bitterly that no one understood how difficult her job was! We were closed on April 15th, but on April 14th, Myra got a beautiful floral arrangement. “Myra, youre the greatest!” said the card accompanying the beautiful peach rose bouquet. Those roses stayed on her desk until the day they were dead and dried. She took the entire arrangement home and didnt even throw away one dead brown leaf. It was the hot topic of the coffee break until I was laid off in the fall. She asked all of her friends and all of the guys at the office who sent it. Of course everyone told her that they wanted to take credit (邀功), but they couldnt. And the florist? No one knew!Myra, its been 20 years, but I remain grateful to you for that lesson. At the time, I could only afford $20 for half a dozen roses, but I wish I could have sent you a truckload! You taught me that each one of us really needs concrete acknowledgement that were valued and recognition that our efforts are appreciated. 60. Why did the author write the passage?A. Tell us how to keep good relations with co-workers.B. Tell us the importance of being valued and appreciated.C. Tell us how good she is at pleasing others at the office.D. Tell us her first unpleasant work experience.61. What kind of person is Myra?A. She is gentle and helpful. B. She is powerful and proud.C. She is emotional and loses her temper easily. D. She is influential and a bit hard to please.62. What did Myra do with the floral arrangement?A. She showed it off to the others all the time.B. She left it there and let it die. C. She treasured it even when the flowers were dead. D. She took it home and kept the dead leaves. 63. Why did the author send Myra the flowers?A. To make use of her. B. To give her a pleasant surprise.C. To show her appreciation of Myra.D. To try to make friends with her. CImagine yourself traveling on a spacecraft just like those in Star Trek or Star Wars. Impossible? It depends on whom you ask. Some might say “Impossible”. But it is true. Impossible things can become quite possible, especially for NASA and the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC).Think about new robots for future space exploration. “Microbots” are being considered as a way to study planets such as Mars. They could fly in groups, hundreds or thousands covering a wide area of the planet while hopping, bouncing, and flying, and they could analyze materials on the surface of a planet as well as in the atmosphere.Living and working in space is challenging. Outside the spacecraft, astronauts depend upon their space suits to hold in the air needed for breathing as well as the pressure to keep them alive in the near vacuum of space. Current space suits are bulky and awkward. What might be created to replace them? A Bio-Suit System is being studied. Like a “space leotard”, this new type of suit may be a “spray-on” material. It could even make you stronger, containing artificial (人造的) muscle fibers to enhance human strength. Where will you live once youve landed on the moon or Mars? One thought is to use a transparent “bubble” chamber. These “bubbles” could be constructed inside caves or similar locations on the surface. Offering protection to the astronauts, the bubbles would not harm the environment.Does all this information sound like science fiction? Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” NIAC is looking for people with both imagination and knowledge. They need creative thinkers men and women and people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, the principal investigators for the Bio-Suit and the Cave Bubble are women.You may someday be one of those dreamers, helping to change science fiction into science fact. NASA has big dreams for future space exploration and maybe one day you will be a 21st Century Explorer.64. Which of the following about “Microbots” is TRUE?A. NASA has been doing experiments to test them on other planets such as Mars.B. “Microbots” usually work together covering a wide range of space on Mars.C. This new type of robots is expected to explore other planets in place of man.D. “Microbots” are imaginary robots appearing in Star Trek and Star Wars.65. According to the passage, we know that_.A. anyone with good experience and imagination might be chosen as researchers for NASA despite age and sexB. current space suits are so bulky and awkward that astronauts wearing them feel it hard to breathe freelyC. the transparent “bubble” chamber can help people protect outer space from being pollutedD. Albert Einstein thought that it was imagination other than knowledge that contributed to scientific achievements66. The underlined word “chamber” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_”A. special space suitB. space station for research C. research equipment for scientific purposeD. shelter for astronauts in spaceDMillions of Americans treat their pets as their family. Now a growing number of pet owners are taking that love to an entirely different and more litigious (诉讼的) level. Reports of pets killed or injured by poisonous pet food are on the rise and so are the benefits for animal owners and pet-food makers. The pet-food recall started during the weekend by Menu Foods of Canada covering more than 100 brands came on the heels of food poisonings last year that killed 75 dogs. In January 2006, Diamond Pet Foods recalled about 20 brands after pets died from a poisonous material in the food. The causes of the latest sicknesses from Menu products are still under investigation but they may be tied to bad whea
