23、 me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared throu

24、gh Mrs. Holts basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window fro

25、m my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little

26、 value. He reminded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his r

27、espect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground.

28、 Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didnt know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that m

29、oment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.51. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.B. The important lesson Mark learned in school.C. Steves important role in Marks growing process.D. Mark and Steves respect for living things.52.

30、In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother? A. Respect for personal property.B. Respect for life. C. Sympathy for people with problems.D. The value of honesty.53. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?

31、A. Respect for living things.B. Responsibility for ones actions. C. The value of honesty.D. Care for the property of others.54. The underlined word “knocked” in the second paragraph means _. A. tapped B. beat C. struck D. trembledBMichael, a typical American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into hi

32、s personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesnt talk to any other human beings, and he doesnt see any people except the ones on televis

33、ion. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings. The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able

34、 to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people theyre dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid wil

35、l change. Workers salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their check. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their account

36、s. Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their livin

37、g rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. In

CAn independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils. Richard Cairns, the h

42、eadmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the worlds fastest growing economy. Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to

43、 attract more in the future.

46、ay, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil.

52、irl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We dont get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent res

53、earch. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environme

54、nt affect our health, too. Ferrers research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health.

With curiosity， I got a copy of “Harry Potter”At first，I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms(批评)But，out of expectation，I have been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand，one cant help asking：Where

60、 is our own “Harry Potter”? The Chinese nation has a history of 5，000 yearsWith a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported(进口的)?There come two major reasons：Firstly，quite a number of childrens boo

61、ks are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment.
