French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February.Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced(离婚) in October. Their marital(婚姻) problems became well known in May 2020 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias.A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozys third: He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s after he had met and befriended Cecilia.Political analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2020 would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry.“Apparently, hes going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him,” Moisi said. “He will increase the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, You see, I must remarry .

Time, however, proved that the babys hearing was perfect except his appearance.One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mothers arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy called mea f-freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.The boys father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft(移植) on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated (捐献),” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, “Youre going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But its a secret.” said the father.The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed into genius.

I could never do enough for him.”“I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son.

However, these crowd-pleasers can have some damaging side effects.Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animalsas well as some humans.The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and leadall found in fireworkshave been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin(毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can burn their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources.Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started: Sky lanternsa tradition that originated long ago in the most-populated Asian country.Party crackersa favorite in the United Kingdomgive you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco-friendly crackers.Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a fireworks sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm!51. The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that _.A. the special sounds of firworks excite peopleB. debris from firworks can even find its way into waterC. the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skiesD. fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd-pleasers52. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks.B. Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous.C. Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.D. Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground.53. All the italicized (斜体的) words are probably _.A. mineral materialsB. tiny solidsC. chemical elementsD. broken pieces54. What is implied from the passage?A. Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.B. It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns.C. Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground.D. Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.55. What can be concluded as the writers attitude towards fireworks?A. It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays.B. Fireworks should be banned and replaced by some other means.C. Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors.D.
