Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasnt 21 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 22 our way after saying goodbye.But at 23, a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 24 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 25 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 26 . I didnt realize how harshly (苛刻地) I had spoken.That night, when I lay 27 in bed, Gods quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 28 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite. Go look around on the kitchen floor, youll find some flowers there by the 29 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 30 them herself pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 31 in her eyes.”By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 32: “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 33 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew youd like them, especially the 34 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I 35 have fussed at you that way.”And she whispered, “Mommy, thats okay. I still love you 36 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 37 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 38 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 39 than into our families-an unwise investment (投资) indeed.Remember that 40 = (F)ATHER(A)ND(M)OTHER(I)(L)OVE(Y)OU.21.

With the song in my head, I felt a bit sorry for myself. Instead of rushing back and forth across a freezing school campus, I could have had a cozy Christmas dinner at home or enjoyed the fabulous fireworks lighting up campus at night. But this Christmas would not be celebrated as usual.One month ago, all six girls in my dormitory（including me）had made detailed plans for a more-exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday. But one day we received an unusual mission：we were asked to organize a party that would be a fund-miser for mentally disabled children from the hospital. The children would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators（观众）and collect some money for the organization.Naturally, we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly, and we did. But wait-the date of the show was set right on Christmas Eve! This meant that all our original Christmas plans would have to be set aside.However, we took the plunge into preparations for the party. We spared no effort in organizing, designing, propagandizing, making contacts with the potential sponsors, negotiating and so on. We went through thick and thin and finally made it, though with a bit of reluctance.Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. As I dragged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work, I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness. I looked to find the source of the song- it was a group of children singing onstage. Though disabled, they appeared extraordinarily earnest and sincere in front of the audience. Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight. People wanted to donate some money or show their support. The performers earned recognition and respect from all of us.At that point, I found all that I had done in the one-month time was worthwhile. And all the volunteers who had been participating in this Christmas party shared the same feeling: the true meaning of Christmas was giving and receiving love from one another.41. The author thought her Christmas was unusual because _A. she had a cozy Christmas dinner and fabulous fireworks.B. she had a more exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday.C. she saw performances given by disabled children.D. she devoted herself to helping the disabled children.42. Why did the girl believe their hard work worthwhile?A. Because they had collected more money than they had expected.B. Because the disabled children gave wonderful performances.C. Because she had a new experience.D. Because she had got the real idea of Christmas.43. By saying “We went through thick and thin”, the writer meant _.A. they passed through a crowed of people.B. they found various people, thin and fat.C. they overcame great difficulties.D. they did a lot of thingsdifficult ones and easy ones.44. What would be the best title of the text?A. Christmas on campus B. Help the disabledC. A wonderful Christmas D. Get ready to helpBHow can you find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening the patients body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans（扫描仪）can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs（器官）.What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body, X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually dont cause the patient to more radiation（辐射）than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.45. What is NOT true of a CAT scan?A. It is safer than regular X rays.B. It makes use of computer techniques.C. It can stop the action of an organ for a short time.D. It gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts.46. The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to _.A. a badly injured part inside the bodyB. a new thing that is unknown to the doctorC. a strange organ that has grown in the bodyD. an object that gets inside the body by chance47. What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?A. It provides clear photos of moving organs.B. It can take 3-dimension（三维）pictures of inside organs.C. It wont cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.D. It helps to find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening it up.48. We can infer from this passage that _.A. patients in front of CAT may suffer form a bit of radiationB. doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scannersC. CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machinesD. CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of itCThere is much discussion today whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural resources from industrialization.This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of great importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and business community must pay attention to those problems and continue discussing them with one another.49. According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that_ .A. our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industry.B. the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continue.C. the world population is ever increasingD. more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life50. We may infer from the context that “proponents” most probably means_ .A. arguments in support of something B. disagreementsC. people who argue for something D. people who argue against something51. The passage is mainly about_ .A. the contradiction（矛盾）between economists and business communityB. the present debate on economic growthC. the advantages and disadvantages of economic growthD. the importance of the debate on economic growth52. We may infer from the passage that_ .A. the author describes the case as it isB. the author is for economic growthC. the author is against the continued economic growthD. the author is very much worried about the problems caused by continued economic growthDI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all:I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.53. The best title of this passage probably is .A. Love your friends B. Live a real lifeC. Dont waste time D. Be a good mother and wife54. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to .A. make a living rather than live a real life B. work rather than enjoy lifeC. waste a lot in life D. forget the most important lessons in life55 Whats the authors attitude toward work?A. Do it well to serve others. B. Earn enough money to make life better.C. Try your best to get higher position and pay. D. Dont let it affect your real life.56. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the author is a succ
