All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “Its for my little brother,” the girl answered. “Hes really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We dont sell a miracle here, child. Im sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isnt enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I dont know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy cant pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”He took up the girls hand and said, “Take me to where you live.

Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although its impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.Set your car radio to receive traffic news. Many a car is equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.Try traveling at different time. Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.Use public transport. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.45.

You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people often change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (神秘的) person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn (顽固的), but you arent very ambitious youre usually live for today not for tomorrow.

Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planets health, and peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based Action Group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic is used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth, you can take the following steps. Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine. Get a container (容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses. Keep it cool. Dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, dont store it near chemicals, and dont reuse plastic bottles. Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle!52. What is the main idea of the article?A. Drinking tap water is the only choice for people.B. Glass containers are better than plastic bottles.C.

B. They can be used for many other things.C. They are a risk to the environment. D. They are cheap to make.54. According to the article, we can know that bottled water is _.A. no problem for the environment B. more expensive than tap waterC. always safer than tap water D. better for babies55. Which of the following about tap water is NOT mentioned in the article?A. There are a lot of problems storing tap water.B. Bottled water can be just tap water in a bottle.C. It may be better for your teeth.D. It may contain fluoride.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。Are you truly happy?
