They may be close in proximity, but still not feel close as a 36_. They may live next door or in the same house, but not feel 37 .Closeness is about 38 . We feel close when we feel 39 , when we feel loved and when we simply enjoy being together. We may live far apart and still feel close, or we may 40 a home yet feel distant.Closeness is a family trait that 41 over time. It is planted by love, watered by honest sharing and fed by true listening. It grows slowly and sometimes 42 years to mature; but its roots grow deep. It can 43 most storm and sustain a family through the most 44 time.I received a letter from a reader in Hawaii. She 45 out that the CEO of one of the islands largest banks was 46 a run for governor.

It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my sons team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my sons teammate, Mickey ODonnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing (回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). ODonnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome (综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”56. What was the score of the soccer match?A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.B. Three to one in Mickeys teams favor.C. Two to one in the opposite teams favor.D.

What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?A. The result of the match would disappoint his son.B. His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.C.

The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _.A. to tell a joke to make readers laughB. to suggest we should not mind losingC. to show enjoying a game is more than winning a gameD. to present his sons fine qualities of understanding others（B）Yeah, youll want to forget about them, but mistakes can be useful. Making a mistake doesnt mean its the end of the world. In real life you have to grow and mature, and with that comes some growing pains.You know you should have studied hard but you went out with some friends instead. You know you should have put the money into the bank for a rainy day instead of spending it on all kinds of things you didnt need.Its the growing pains called mistakes that most people make when they are growing up. Face them. You are going to make them. Learn from them. All of the people you wish to copy, such as all the experts in your business field, have made mistakes. Theyll continue to make mistakes for all their successes. One of the major differences between people like them and the vast majority of others is that they dont let their mistakes stop them. Instead, they use their mistakes as learning tools.At the very least, when you make a mistake, youll know what not to do. And you can help others by warning them of the mistakes youve made. Dont let mistakes stop you from doing anything. Learn from them, dont hide in a closet. Facing up to your mistakes now and later will mature.What mistakes are you making right now? Take a look at anything you might be doing wrong. Take a step back and evaluate your situation, then fix whatever needs to be corrected. Then move forward.Always remember your mistakes to remind yourself of what not to do for the future.60. Why does the writer say mistakes can be useful?A. Because you can get some growing pains.B. Because experts also make mistakes.C. Because you can mature by facing and learning from mistakes.D. Because next time you know that money shouldnt be wasted.61. Which statement is true according to the writer?A. Before you make any mistake, you had better lock the closet in your room.B. Keep your mistakes in mind in order not to make the same mistakes again in the future.C. Dont go out with some of your friends any more.D. Forget your mistakes and move forward.62. When we make any mistake next time, we should do the followings except _. A. Think about the reason why we make the mistake.B. Try to correct the mistake.C. Tell others not to make the same mistake as you do.D. Be careful not to do anything.63. From the text, we can infer that _ _.A. facing mistakes, some people lose heartB. mistakes can be usefulC. mistakes can be called growing painsD. Put away money when it is rainy（C）What is the color of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color.Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. They did it for fun. However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.The scientists gave a number value to the colors of the different star systems. Then they added the numbers together and found the average measurement. The scientists used this average to identify the color of the universe. They said it was a very pretty light green. Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding.Other scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white.64The color of the universe is _.Alight greenishBblackCblueDclose to white65The two scientists found the color of the universe by _.Acombining light from about 200,000 star systemsBobserving at an observatory in IndiaCmaking long-term scientific researchDusing computer software programs66Who found the true color of the universe?AKarl Glazebrook. BIvan Baldry.CJohns Hopkins.DMark Fairchild.67This passage mainly tells us _.Awhat the color of the universe isBthe light from our universe is a light greenish colorCthe new color of the universe is much more colorfulDthe finding of the color of the universe is difficult（D）If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days, it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies in that list. Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them.An autobiography is the story of a persons life, written by that person. It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood, how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.Traditionally, someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long, successful life. However, these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well. Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well. As a result, people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous, a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography, even if they are very young.So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye. Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays, we maybe dont know how they live their lives from day to day. Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars. The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.Not every star wants to write though. Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them. The writer will interview the star, listen to everything they want to say, record interviews and then write the book based on their words. David Beckham did this with his book My Side.Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars. Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books. About 100 million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year. More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops, more people are sure to keep buying them.68.
