The holiday honors not only fathers, but also all men who act as father figures, such as stepfathers, uncles and grandfathers.The idea of Fathers Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909.Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.When Dodd became an adult, she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent.It was her father who did all for his children. In the eyes of his daughter, William Smart was a courageous, selfless and loving man.Dodds father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Fathers Day celebration in Washington on June 19th, 1910.In 1924, US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Fathers Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Fathers day.So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you. To show your love and respect, you need not buy an expensive gift. You can send him a home made card; You can call him every day; Even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work. All these little things are easy for us to do, but they can show your care and love to your father.36Fathers Day always falls on .Athe same day every yearBthe third Sunday of JuneCthe last day of JuneDJune 16th of each year37Which of the following was NOT used to describe the character of Dodds father?ALovingBSelfless.

He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mothers care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didnt like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.After his fathers death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties. He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21, 1910.46In his childhood, Mark Twain, _.Alearned a lot at schoolBhe often went swimming with other boysChis mother often worried about his safetyDhe often played games with other boys47Which of the following shows the right order about Mark Twain?a.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in the drivers education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel(steering wheel方向盘) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners and all the other maneuvers(操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and the “driver” sit in front of seat and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two brakes(刹车系统), one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the student has passed the drivers education course and reached the proper age to drive ( this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designed state office to take the drivers test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a drivers license. If the person does well in his or her drivers education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a drivers license.51. In America, the drivers course mentioned above_A. is considered as part of the advanced education.B. is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license.C. is carried on at the same time as other courses.D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools.52. To prevent accidents, a driver Ed car _.A. has sign inside itB. has two sets of brakesC. is big enough to hold five personsD. cant run very fast53.The students are required to _ in their whole driving p
