And though we had never spoken a word to one another, he 32 upon me in just the same way. Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world 33 . To a certain 34 , we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply to 35 doing something like crossing over the white line on the road.

Mitchells understanding of life and hardship during the American Civil War, for example, came from elderly relatives and neighbors passing war stories to her generation. While Margaret Mitchell used to say that her Gone with the Wind characters were not based on real people, modern researchers have found similarities to some of the people in Mitchells own life as well as to individuals she knew or she heard of. Mitchells grandmother, Annie Fitzgerald Stephens, was born in 1845; she was the daughter of an Irish immigrant, who owned a large plantation（种植园） on Tara Road in Clayton County, south of Atlanta, and who married an American woman named Ellen, and had several children, all daughters.Many researchers believe that the physical cruelty and low regard for women shown by Rhett Butler was based on Mitchells first husband, Red Upshaw. She divorced him after she learned he was a bootlegger (走私犯). After a stay at the plantation called The Woodlands, and later Barnsley Gardens, Mitchell might have gotten the inspiration for the scoundrel (无赖) from Sir Godfrey Barnsley of Adairsville, Georgia. Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, the mother of US president Theodore Roosevelt might have been an inspiration for Scarlett OHara. Roosevelt biographer (传记作者) David McCullough discovered that Mitchell, as a reporter for The Atlanta Journal, conducted an interview with one of Marthas closest friends and bridesmaid, Evelyn King Williams, then 87. In that interview, she described Marthas physical appearance, beauty, grace, and intelligence in detail. The similarities between Martha and the Scarlett character are striking（显著的）.41. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Inspirations of Gone with the Wind. B. Writing methods of Gone with the Wind.C. A famous writer of Margaret.D. The plot of Gone with the Wind.42. According to modern researchers, Gone with the Wind characters _.A. were not based on real peopleB. Rhett Butler reflected on her first husbandC. The Woodlands and Barnsley Gardens were her imaginary landsD. Margaret divorced her first husband because he was not a capable man43. The last paragraph mainly talks about _.A. the origin of ScarlettB. the similarities between Martha and ScarlettC. Margaret Mitchell - a famous reporterD. an interview conducted by Margaret Mitchell44. From the passage we know _.A. Margaret had a happy lifeB. Margaret experienced the Civil WarC. Margarets familys origin was IrelandD. Margaret had several children, all daughters BLos Angeles MarathonWhere: starts at Lankershim & Cahuenga Boulevards, University City; finishes at S 5th & W Flower Streets, DowntownWhen: 1st Sun in MarTel & website: 1-310 444 5544/ Every year, more than 23,000 runners and wheelchair racers take to the streets for this 26-mile slog(长时间的跋涉) through the city.

Mid June C Her frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her. Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed at her arms, causing her pain, but she didnt mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe. She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually. As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box had caught her eye. Five whole nickels had brought her that candle. She gave it to her mother for Mothers Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “Its very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced. By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better. No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound. She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object. She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him. And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.48. The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to _.A. keep herself from the coldB. wait for the boy to comeC. want to be left aloneD. seek safety from any hurt49. From the story, we can learn that _.A. the girl suffered a lot in her lifeB. the girls parents divorced because of herC. teachers and friends treated the girl badlyD. the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad50. The underlined word “it” in the story refers to _.A. leaning back against the branchB. being alone in the worldC. not being disturbed at nightD. it being dark with snow around51. From the end of the story, it can be known that the girl _.A. knew the personB. knew what the object wasC. realized her wishesD. would never feel alone any moreDDid you know that womens brains are smaller than mens? The average womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter” while men have more of latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every time. There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions and women often need to! The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to
