Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.Reading peoples character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale, small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed if a person was musical. Today, too many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large, medium-size or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.17 .

The Mardi Gras Carnival, which ended on February 28, helped serve as a reminder of the citys spirit and culture even after the wake of the natural disasters（灾难） last September.Locals and tourists alike celebrated Mardi Gras season, which officially begins 12 days after Christmas. Originally a French holiday that celebrates the weeks after Jesus Christs birth, “Mardi Gras”, meaning “Fat Tuesday” in French, has now become well known for fun and food found in the Big Easy ( one of New Orleans nicknames ). With the streets decorated in the festivals traditional purple, green, and gold, New Orleans famous French Quarter was blocked off to allow the colorful floats to parade down the streets.Despite（不管） the festive atmosphere, signs of the hurricane were everywhere. Fewer people came to the parades than in other years, which was not unexpected considering that half of the citys population has not returned and that one-third of the citys hotels were closed. Further signs of the hurricane could be seen in the choice of clothes：some people dressed as sandbags or tarps（防水布）.Recovery efforts still have a long way to go, but New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin still has hope and told the Associated Press, “Katrina did a lot of bad things. But it has done something to give New Orleanians a fresh love for their city.”21 . Hurricane Katrina attacked New Orleans.Alast FebruaryBlast SeptemberClast ChristmasDon February 2822 .

The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison( 监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on hisface, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, “ Why arent most adults this way?” Most adults, whenthey fall down, make a big deal out of it and dont even make a second attempt. They would be soembarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, theywould find a good excuse for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraidto attempt again for fear of failure( 失败) .However, with kids, when they fall down, they dont consider their falling down as a failure,instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. Theanswer must be that they have not connected “ falling down” with the word “ failure” . Whats more,they probably think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. Inother words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boys persistence( 坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.31 . What did the little boy do when he fell down?AHe cried and lay on the grass.BHe asked his mother for help.CHe got up and went on running.DHe got up and stood there crying.32 . In the writers opinion,what might the little boy regard his falling down as?AA failure.BA joke.CAn interesting game.DA learning experience.33 . In the writers opinion,why cant many adults succeed?ABecause they are afraid of being embarrassed.BBecause they cant find a good excuse.CBecause once they fail, they wont attempt again.DBecause they dont allow themselves to make mistakes.34 . The underlined word “ attempt” in Paragraph 2 means .A尝试B放弃C面对D怀疑35 . What does the writer want to tell us?APractice makes perfect.BFailure is the mother of success.CAll roads lead to Rome.DEach coin has two sides.三、语法填空. 用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。Basketball36 .

The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice, Its a popular game. Because baseball is an American sport.and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards (后院)not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch, Those without yards can play in the street.But any American kid will tell you its much more than a
