The first grade teacher gave her class a fun _36_ to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.Most of the class might be considered economically _37_, but still many would _38_ the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the _39_ of most of her students art. And they were._40_, Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a special kind of boy. He was the teachers true child of misery, _41_ and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt _42_ those sad eyes.Yes, his picture was different. When _43_ to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just a(n) _44_ hand.His abstract image captured the _45_ of his classmates, whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers _46_ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and _47_ people. And so the discussion went - until the teacher _48_ forgot the young artist himself.When the children had gone on to other tasks, she _49_ at Douglas desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and _50_, “Its yours, teacher.”She _51_ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, _52_ she had other student. How often had she said, “Take your hand, Douglas, well go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Lets do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teachers hand.Brushing _53_ a tear, she went on with her work.The story speaks of _54_ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but theyll remember the hand that _55_.36. A. assessment B. assignment C. appointment D. adjustment37. A. disadvantagedB. convenientC. wealthyD. advantaged38.

When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screenthey cant do bothand they dont understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationshipsnot just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to, and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short rough sound in reply.56. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _.A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can either talk or watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to _.A. experience the happy time again B. keep a close tie with herC. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten58. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Womens brains are better organized for language and communication.B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk B. Talking Maintains RelationshipsC. Women Love to Talk D. Men Talk Differently from WomenBFirst aid doesnt take long to learn but can help to save lives. However, therere many misunderstandings about first aid. Below are the “most popular” first aid misunderstandings and some information on what you should do.You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a minor burn is coldwater - keep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least 10 minutes. Severe burns require special care to prevent infection. If you cant move a limb, your bones must be broken. If you can more a limb, it cant be broken. The only way to diagnose it is to X-ray it.The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under running water. If you put a bleeding would under running water you wash away the bodys clotting(凝血) agents and make it bleed more. Instead, push on the wound.Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead, advise the person to put his head forward to allow the blood to flow out of the nose. Ask the person to press the end of the nose and breathe through his mouth.If someone has swallowed poison, you should make them sick. If you make someone sick by putting your fingers in their mouth, the things that come up may block their airway. Also, if the poison burnt on the way down, it will burn on the way up. Get medical advice, and if possible, find out what poison was taken, at what time and how much.You need lots of training to do first aid. You dont - what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid in a few minutes to save someones life.You need lots of expensive equipment to do first aid. You dont need any equipment to do first aid. There are lots of ways to get anything you need in a minute.60.

But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health, or advice about how to be oneself in society. If I cut the front essay, the opposite one is bound to suffer damage, crossing out half of it or keeping the text without the subject. As a result, the scissors would stay before they start, or half-way done when I find out the result that unavoidably causes my regret.Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both deserving your attention. You can only take up one of them, then the other has to wait or be given up. But you know the future is unpredictablethe changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind. Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad. How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what life is like: we are often faced with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we take up another. The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosophers remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a passive choice may not be a bad one.Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever lifes storm makes us go, there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on. Dont forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one. While the front is closed, there must be another open door for you.64. After reading the passage, we may know the writer is a person of _.A. curiosityB. encouragementC. considerationD. observation65. The underlined word “fix” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. difficult situationsB. your preference of one choiceC. what is left behind D. two things are to be done at the same time.66. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 tells us _.A. life is as easy as cutting newspapersB. we cant kill birds with one stoneC. life sometimes changes completelyD. it is often difficult to make a choice in our life.67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Cutting newspapers is a hard job.B. When you are caught in a fix, you have met two good things.C. There must be a way that is better than the other.D. You should maintain a positive attitude towards your choice.DHow soon will it be before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do things, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen within twenty years while others disagree.One London company, UAS (Universal Automated Systems) has already develope
