He held the seat of my bicycle until he thought I was 46 . And then, without me even 47 it, he let go and stepped away.Many times, through my 48 teenage years, Dad would survey my latest disaster and go red in the 49 , then hed walk away and leave me, ashamed and embarrassed, to 50 it or learn from it.When my own children came along he wasnt 51 to tell me how he thought I should 52 them. Then he would shrug and back away with the words, “But its your 53 .”Now, Im a husband, a father, and a grandfather. I was all of that before Dad died.

I hated reading stories and novels that my English teacher picked only to have discussions about the stories because I didnt even understand. One day, my teacher picked The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Because I liked this story so much, I began to read more of his work.The endings in O. Henrys stories always leave the readers surprised and his eye for detail is almost poetic and can make the readers feel as if they were part of the story. The Gift of the Magi is about a young married couple who sacrifice their only two worthy possessions to buy each other a Christmas present. This story is about true love and sacrifice. Now, many years later, I still remember this story. The Furnished Room is a horror story about the love and devotion from a young man, who is desperate to find his missing lover. The story is tragic. The Ransom of Red Chief is actually a humorous story about a kidnapping that has gone all wrong. A Retrieved Reformation tells the tale of a thief who decides to give up his criminal career and do good deeds, which is moving. These are just a few of the many, many stories that O. Henry wrote and that Ive enjoyed over these years.O. Henry was the pen name of the American writer William Sydney Porter. He was born on September 11, 1862 and died of illness on June 5, 1910. His first story was published under his pen name, O. Henry. He published hundreds of stories. In honor of O. Henrys contributions to American literature, the O. Henry Memorial Award was founded in 1918 to award the author of the best American short story.BNia fitness classA unique combination of yoga, dance and martial arts techniques, Nia is a new form of fitness designed for people of all fitness levels to open up their body and relax.When: Every Wednesday 5-6 pmCost: 100 yuan for one class, 500 yuan for sixContact: 135-2299-3724Where: D-1F Jinxiuyuan Apartment, Xing Fu Cun Zhong Lu, Chaoyang DistrictThe Red Detachment of WomenPart of the closing ceremony for the 11th “Meet in Beijing” Arts Festival, the China National Ballet will be performing The Red Detachment of Women, one of the most successful full-length Chinese ballets.When: May 25, 7:30 pmCost: 80-1,080 yuanContact: 6417-7845, Where: Poly Plaza, 14 Dongzhimen Nandajie, Dongcheng DistrictStudent rockCollege bands Las Vegas, Strange July, Wet Sand, Poshangcun and Ganrao Diantai will take the stage at D-22 to show some of the best talent.With many of Beijings best underground bands getting their start at D-22, its a place to experience new sounds, faces and performances inspired by the citys youngest talent.When: May 27, 8:30 pmCost: 20 yuanContact: 6265-3177Where: D-22, 242 Chengfu Lu, Haidian DistrictSpeed dating “on wheels”The speed dating industry is not new in China.

D-22CNot all consumers share the same attitudes toward animal cloning, which can be seen in the latest research from Sean Fox, Kansas State University professor. Much of Foxs research focuses on consumers attitudes toward food safety. He worked with Shonda Anderson, a recent masters graduate, to explore consumers attitudes toward cloned animals.“Were interested in finding out how different groups of consumers react to products from cloned animals,” Fox said. “Were also interested in how those reactions differed between countries.”Fox and Anderson surveyed Kansas State undergraduates in agriculture, English and sociology classes. They also surveyed agriculture students at University College Dublin in Ireland and Ecole Superieure dAgriculture in Purpan, France. The survey asked participants (参与者) about their possibility of buying and eating meat and other products from cloned animals.Results showed that Americans were more accepting of cloned products than Europeans. Other findings include: Students in Ireland and France were less likely to consume cloned products than Kansas-State students. At Kansas State, sociology and English students were less likely to consume cloned products than agriculture students. Participants were more likely to consume cloned products after learning that cloned animal products have no safety risk.More of the European students were concerned about cloning from a moral perspective, while the American students were more concerned about food safety. The strength of opposition to cloning was much stronger from those who morally opposed cloning than from those who opposed it for food safety concerns. The survey also found that women were less likely to buy cloned products, and people familiar with science were more accepting of cloned products.“Results suggest that a large number of people do have concerns about cloning from a moral perspective,” Fox said. “Itll be important if these products come to market because we would expect to see a large number of people avoiding them.”63. The participants in Sean Foxs survey were mainly _.A. colleagues of Sean FoxB. students in three different placesC. consumers interested in cloned productsD. people of different professions in three countries64. Which of the following is TRUE about the possibility of buying cloned products?A. Female consumersMale consumers.B. Irish studentsKansas-State students.C. English majorsAgriculture majors.D. Agriculture majorsSociology majors.65. According to the survey, which of the following may affect consumers attitudes toward cloned products?A. The type of cloned products.B. The safety of cloned products.C. The price of cloned products.D. The taste of cloned products.66. It can be inferred that Sean Foxs survey results will help _.A. learn more about cloned productsB. make cloned products much saferC. predict the market for cloned productsD. develop new types of cloned productsCThink about the longest elevator ride that youve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. Youll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but theyre something scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive about $25 million per person per flight.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable more than 37,000 kilometers up to space from the earths equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit (绕的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.67. The first paragraph is presented by _.A. giving an example B. making a comparisonC. asking questions D. analyzing causes68. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper.B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.69. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A. the cableB. the equatorC. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable70. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon.B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth.D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.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。Keep skills sharp during winter breakWinter break means being free from homework and daily lessons.
