I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down.

Gone was my fathers critical（挑剔的）air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father,who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,Im at last seeing another side of my father.And in so doing,Im delighted with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he is.24Why did the author feel bad about her father as a young adult?A He was silent most of the time.B He was too proud of himself.C He did not love his children.D He expected too much of her.25When the author went out with her father on weekends,she would feel_ .A nervous B sorry C excited D safe26What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A More critical. BMore unhappy.C Gentle and friendly. DStrict and hard-working.27The best title of this passage probably is_ .A Our good times BMy father is back to meC My childhood DMy earliest memoriesCWill it matter if you dont take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you dont eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.28During the test, those who were tested were given _.A different breakfast or none B very rich breakfastC little food for breakfast D no breakfast at all29According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, _.A he will fall illB his mind will work more slowlyC he will not make progress in his studyD he will fail to listen to his teacher30The passage mentions that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will _.A be healthier Bnot lose weightClose weight Dgain a lot of weight31Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?A Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.D Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.DOne of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in todays world, reading is something that most children dislike doing.There are simply so many distractions (分心的事物) that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English language, they still cant quite compare to reading.And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level text book. Youll notice that the books for elementary students are filled with pictures and colors. Those pictures and colors in the elementary level text books arent there just for the sake (缘由) of design. Colors and pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They catch our attention and help us retain (保留) more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun English.Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and it wont take long before you find them doodling (涂鸦) and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colourful enough to catch a kids attention, then youll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn English.The same principle holds true for interactivity (互动). Like colors and pictures, interactive reading materials like English songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus since using them is almost like playing.32Children dont like reading probably because they prefer _.A newspapers B films Cmagazines Dbooks33Children will be interested in books that are _.Afull of pictures Bexplained clearlyCwritten clearly D. easy34Colorful books can help the children _.Ado what they prefer B. have a good timeCfix their attention for a longer time D. sit still and quietly35Whats the main idea of this passage?AReading is one of the most important ways in learning language.BAll the books are full of pictures and colors.CInteractivity and colorful designs are important to learn English.DInteractive reading is very interesting for children第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.Somestudentsprefertolearnbythemselves.Theythinktheycanlearnbetterin this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence, there is some truth in their way.（36）It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.First,ateachercanactasaguidetoleadyoutosuccess.Whenyoulearn,youneedhelpandadvice.Ateacherwillgiveyouahandwhenyoufacedifficulties.（37）Whatismore, a teacherputsrealpressureonyou.Ifyoustudybyyourself, youmustbe strong-mindedenoughtokeepon.（38） But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you.
