I met her working at the most difficult job of my life - as a helper in an after-school daycare center. I was completely 41 for the work; I had no training and my temperament（性格） seemed to be particularly unsuited to the 42 . I reminded 43. that I was hired to watch the children, play with them and lead arts and crafts - not fix all of their problems, of which there were many. And my 44 help was Mrs. Tucker, a 73-year-old retired social worker who worked with me. All that stood 45 _ the kids and disaster was me and a 73-year-old woman. And I wasnt that strong a defense! But I soon learned that Mrs. Tucker was a 46 with these children.Some children just need more 47 , she always said. A case in point was Timmy. Timmy received special help at school because of his 48 problems. He was developmentally delayed. He often fought with other children and was a compulsive hair-puller. I could never get close to Timmy - he did not trust anyone. Anyone, that is,49 Mrs. Tucker. He 50 to her. He genuinely loved her because, I came to believe, she loved him.One day a51 broke out between Timmy and one of the other children. After separating them, Mrs. Tucker directed Timmy to sit in a chair. He52 , I HATE YOU, Mrs. Tucker! Youre a 53. old lady! I hate you!I know you54 me right now, Timmy, she said firmly, but Im sure not going to let you pull the other childrens55 . After a while Timmy had calmed down and Mrs. Tucker called him over. His cheeks were still 56_ and bore dried tear streaks(痕迹). I could not hear their conversation, but I saw Timmy put his arms around her neck.When I walked by I heard him say, Im sorry I called you a mean old lady, Mrs. Tucker. I knew he 57 it. A little later Mrs. Tucker said to me, Timmy just needs more love than other children. On another 58. I heard Timmys mother say, You work 59. with him, Mrs. Tucker.

DAlgae product less wasteBBirds that are half-asleepwith one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleepingcontrol which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemispheres eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. Hes seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, its only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.65According to the passage, birds often half sleep because _.A. their brain hemispheres take turns to restB. they have to watch out for possible attacksC. the two halves of their brain are differently structured66. What is implied about the example of a birds sleeping in front of a mirror?A. An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.B. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.67. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to _.A. alert themselves to the approaching enemyB. emerge from water now and then to breatheC. be sensitive to the ever-changing environment68. By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that _.A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherB. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedC. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersD. half-brain sleep may exist among other speciesCWashington, November 1, 2020 (CNN) - After years of planning and months of campaigning, the most expensive presidential race in history comes down to a final five-day whirlwind(旋风) of speeches and television ads in the eight states still up for grabs.President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney plan to hold virtually nonstop events between now and the Tuesday election considered too close to call.The focus is on battleground states worth 95 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Both sides are trying to close the deal with a decreasing number of uncommitted voters, while making sure supporters actually cast ballots.That means a game of campaign chess that started Thursday, with appearances by the candidates and their assistants as well as advertising dollars allocated to the places considered most vital to success.Concluding a race expected to cost more than $6 billion overall, Obama and Romney and their running mates will hit all the battleground states - Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin. The campaigns also are unloading a blast of television ads and mailings that threaten to overwhelm voters already saturated with politicking. Perhaps no one said it better than 4-year-old Abigael Evans of Fort Collins, Colorado, who - according to NPR - cried after listening to more election coverage on the radio and told her mother: Im tired of Broncobama and Mitt Romney.69The underlined phrase “too close to call” probably means .Aa game that one side is obviously winning.Ba tie in which neither side seems likely to winCso close that you need not use a telephoneDa visit close to ones home state70What is the focus of the last -5 day campaigns for both presidential candidates?ATo make sure that their supporters understand their policies.BTo collect enough money for campaign ads.CTo paint their rival as black as possible.DTo win over the voters who have not decide which candidate to vote for.71The public generally feel about these last-days election efforts.AexcitedBdisappointed Cannoyed DrelievedDLoneliness has been linked to depression（抑郁）and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that happiness, obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have b
