On this special occasion, Id like to bring up a topic that has bothered me for some time. I dont understand why we, as parents, always let our children blow out our candles or open our presents on our birthdays. I dont understand why we give up our special day and let our children take over. I think its time we put a stop to it.Every birthday party I attend, it seems like the children are completely unable to sit back and to let someone else enjoy the limelight. On my dads birthday, he pulls his grand-children onto his lap and lets them blow out the candles with him. Its expected. The kids wouldnt know what to do if they werent allowed to get in there and help. The truth is, thats my dads day. Its his time.A friend of mine always buys presents for her kids on her own birthday. She doesnt want them to get upset that mommy is getting gifts and they arent. She says, Its just really hard for a little kid to understand why one person gets a present and they dont.And I know what she means. It is hard. Taking your child to someone elses birthday celebration is always harder. Who doesnt want a chance to open some presents? But I think that kids learn a lot as they sit back, watching someone else get excited about a new thing. They learn that not every day is their day, and thats okay.We teach our kids to share everything. We make them think that everyone should get a chance, all the time. Birthdays are a chance to teach your children how to be happy for someone elses enjoyment.Its easy to let our kids take over our birthdays. Its easy to pull them on our laps and let them help with the candles and the cards. I still dont think we should do it. I think parents should start saying, This is my day. I think its okay to be a little selfish on your birthday.23. Why does one of the authors friends always buy gifts for her kids at her own birthday party?A. Because she loves her kids more than herself.B. Because she fears that her kids will destroy her birth-day party.C. Because she is afraid that her kids will be sad if getting no gifts.D. Because she hopes her kids will learn how to share.24. This passage might be written for .A. general readers B. kids C. other parents D. teachersB Holi(胡里节)is one of the major festivals of India. Its a festival of colors, celebrated in the late February or early March every year to mark the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season.Holi is spread out over two days. On the first day, a public bonfire(篝火)is held to be in memory of the burning of Holika. The story behind it is like this. There was a cruel king named Hiranyakashipu who ordered everybody to worship him but not God. However, his little son Prahlad refused to do so and continued to worship Lord Vishnu, the Indian God. The king tried many times to kill Prahlad but Lord Vishnu saved him every time. One of the sisters of the king named Holika had powers to walk through fire without being harmed. Thus he ordered her to kill Prahlad by walking through the fire with him. However, Lord Vishnu came to his help and Prahlad was saved while Holika perished. Somehow, she didnt know that her powers were only effective when she entered the fire alone.For bonfires, children search the neighborhood for waste wood. At night they pile up the wood and light fire in it.The second day is marked with feasting, singing and dancing. On this day, people with colored faces come on the streets and dance to the drum beats and shoutHoli Hai Everybody from kids to adults play with colors and water. They spray friends and family with colored powders and water. Friends and family members exchange sweets and greet each other with the warm wishes of Holi. Holi is a festival which bridges social gaps and brings people together.25. The passage uses the story of Holika and Prahlad in order to .A. prove the power of GodB. introduce the origin of HoliC. show the cruelty of the kingD. introduce how to start a bonfire26.The underlined word perished in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. disappeared B. suffered C. cried D. died27. To celebrate the festival of Holi, people .A. dance and sing with their faces coloredB. invite their friends to big parties at homeC. exchange expensive gifts with each otherD. attend an open bonfire on the last flay of February28. What can we learn about Holi from the passage?A. It helps make the Indian people united.B. It is popular just in some areas of India.C. It is to celebrate the good harvest of crops.D. It reminds Indians that its time to worship their God.CThe Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting, Dad! The bear is right behind us! An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back-the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win. I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack-the first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. Im proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.29. The brown bear approached the family in order to .A. catch shore birds B. protect the childrenC. start an attack D. set up a barrier for itself30. The bear finally went away after it .A. took away the camera B. got injuredC. found some food D. felt safe31. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their .A. calmness B. patienceC. pride D. cautiousnessDOh! my grandmother would say. Look at the time! There just arent enough hours in the day. And then she would begin another chore (日常事务). My grandmother was a busy woman. She lived on a farm and had eight children. She was busy from dawn until dusk but she was always well-or-ganized. She could accomplish(完成)in a day what most people couldnt in a week.Make friends with time.My grandmother knew that time was important and that it shouldnt be wasted. She knew that you shouldnt put off until tomorrow the things you should do today. She knew that if you didnt learn how to make friends with time, it would become your enemy.Time is an arrow.Time is like an arrow: it begins in the past, travels through the present and it aims directly at the future. When we are young we dont think much about that. If anything,we think time stands still or moves too slowly: Will the bell ever ring? Will this boring class ever end? Of course, time does speed up when were trying to finish an exam: Five minutes left?! But I still have ten questions to answer!Key to success.Managing your time is an important part of being successful. And many business people think that being able to use their time well is the key to their success.My grandmother wasnt a business woman but she was just as successful in managing her time. In the fall she would plant flowers that would grow in the spring. In the summer she would preserve food that would be eaten in the winter. And during those long winter nights on the farm she would make sure her children worked hard at their studies. She was always busy.32. What is the authors grandmother like according to the whole passage EXCEPT .A. well-organized B. successful in managing time C. stubborn D. busy33. If you want to succeed in your study, you should according to the passage.A. not make friends with timeB. make sure you have time to sleep and eatC. manage your time wellD. put off until tomorrow the things you should do today第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
