The goal of their _36_ was to write the word shmily in a surprise place for the other to find.

Little notes with shmily scribbled(潦草的写) hurriedly were_39_ on dashboards and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.It took me a long time before I was able to _40_appreciate my grand-parents game. Skepticism （怀疑论）has_41_me from believing in true love-one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents _42_. It was more than their flirtatious(调戏的) little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is _43_ to experience. But there was a dark _44_ in my grandparents life: my grandmother had breast cancer. As always, Grandpa was_45_ her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine. Now the cancer was again _46_ her body. With the help of a cane and my grandfathers steady hand, they went to church every morning._47_ my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, _48_, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife. Then one day, what we all feared finally _49_. Grandma was gone. Shmily. It was _50_in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmothers funeral bouquet. As the crowd _51_ and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmothers casket and, taking a deep _52_, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song _53_ as a deep and throaty lullaby(催眠曲).Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that _54_. For I knew that, although I couldnt begin to understand the depth of their love, I had been _55_ to witness its unmatched beauty.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉) restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict routine(程序) for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate(复制) the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today McDonalds is really a household name. In 1976, McDonalds had over $ l billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history.56. This passage mainly talks about _.A. the development of fast food services B. how McDonalds became a billion-dollar businessC. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonald D. Ray Krocs business talent57. Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except _.A. a drive-inB. a theater C. a cinemaD. a barbecue restaurant58. We may infer from this passage that _.A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc.B. the place the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-inC. forty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurantsD. Ray Kroc was a good businessman59. The passage suggests that _.A. creativity is an important element of business successB. Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothersC. Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray KrocD. California is the best place to go into businessBHIGHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLSCHOOL REPORTForm Teacher: G.

Simon is able to pay attention to history for long.CDo you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because theres no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.64. Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?A. French language. B. Historical reasons. C. Some linguists D. Bad traditions.65. The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means “_”.A. becomes popular B. gets across C. follows the fashions D. doesnt fall behind66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Troubles in everyday life B. Traps in English wordsC. Words with silent letters D. Necessary changes of languagesDAttempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （气泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homesThe report measured a citys housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average familys income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a familys income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9,5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figureAustralian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配给制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd governmentSome American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cities garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homesThe survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if youre Australian and choose to live down under67. To buy an affordable house, you should pay _A. 3 times or less of the average familys incomeB. 4 times or less of the average familys incomeC. 5 times or less of the average familys incomeD. 9.5 times or less of the average familys income68. What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?AThe rising familys income BThe demand over supply.CThe excessive development charges DThe decrease of land69.The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean _A cheerful B sati
