These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.56. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up childrenB. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up57. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home58. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.59. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowersB. They made bread or pastryC. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day.BLet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.60. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_.A. listening to skilled peoples advice. B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do61. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.64. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A .Cold and sick B.

Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. “We need governments to stark taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running .”said Dr. Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.68. What is the main topic of the text?AThe effect of climate change on migrating animalsBHow animals are adapting to changes in temperature.CThe actions required to save migrating animals.DThe need for government policies to prev
