While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, Im now trying to bring up my three children.

The citys beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months. “The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water，”police said. “Fortunately，the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said，“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore. “There was a lot of pain，as you can imagine. ”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries. Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”，but the boy did not app ear to have sustained any fractures (骨折)He was in a stable condition now. Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark，while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. “I dont even know if he saw it，”Miller said. Many shark species live in the waters off Sydneys beaches，but attacks on humans are still relatively rare. However，there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month，one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House，and the other on a surfer at the citys world-famous Bondi beach. Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment，attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species，including the Great Whitethe maneaters made famous in Steven Spielbergs Jawsare protected in Australian waters.31The report mainly tells us _.Ashark attacks on humans are on the riseBsharks attacked humans three times in one monthCa boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beachDshark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydneys beaches32The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “_” AattractedBdragged Cbit Dpacked33What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

She said she didnt want to stay at home and work as a housewife: “Its a waste of life.” Lili became so busy that she spent less and less time with me. She didnt help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, “so that you can develop your independence”. We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents meetings.Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under control. I want to be perfect and I dont expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve my goals.After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other.In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me.That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles around them.She took me to see a therapist (治疗师). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was like a wheel spinning (旋转) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I only realized it when my body couldnt stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears. “Its all my fault, shes just a kid and I didnt have time to take care of her.” To be honest, I had never seen Lili cry before.After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is the one who really cares about her kid. (351)36.

A Students Opinion on Mother.DNobody knows for absolute certainty all the details of the life of Aesop. However, scholars have been working to established some facts and this is the brief story of Aesop as it is accepted today. Aesop was born a slave around the year 620 B.C. In Ancient Greece, it was a privilege and tradition of freedmen to be interested in public affairs, so Aesop worked hard to raise himself from a servile slaves position to a high position of renown. He was a thinker and philosopher and eventually became widely admired.Aesop was a smart man and a good speaker. He liked to learn and to also teach people, so he traveled through many countries. He came to Sardis, the capital of the famous king Croesus of Lydia who was a patron of learning and learned men.Croesus was so impressed by Aesop that he invited Aesop to permanently reside at Sardis. The king hired Aesop to do diplomatic government work such as trying to establish peace between the various republics of Greece. Aesop reconciled the inhabitants of these cities by telling his wise fables.It was on one of these ambassadorial missions that Aesop was killed. Croesus had sent him to Delphi with lots of gold which was to be distributed among the citizens. After talking with the people of Delphi, Aesop got so mad at the citizens because of their covetousness. He refused to divide the money and instead sent it back to his master. The Delphians were so mad they executed Aesop as a public criminal.As it often happens in Greek history, the Delphians were visited by a series of calamities as a sort of retribution for Aesops death. This is where the phrase the blood of Aesop originated. The saying means wrongful deeds will not go unpunished.In memory of Aesop, a statue was erected in Athens. The statue was created by the famous Greek sculptor, Lysippus.41. Why did Aesop work so hard?A. Because he wanted to be an official. B. Because he desired to join in public affairs.C.
