Now I want to share a hidden part of my life.After one month of my marriage, I started working because I could not

25、sit home. To accomplish our dreams, we are both working hard day and night in spite of belonging to a good family. Life is very strange. When any turn happens, one cannot know.I started working because I was very ambitious. I used to wonder about people who worked to earn their bread but I never kne

26、w in my wildest dreams that I would be part of the crowd who work to earn a livelihood.I was blessed with a daughter in November, 2009. She was just three months and 15 days old when I rejoined my job. My husband supported me and my family supported me but I never wanted to work again because I belo

27、nged to a family where a mother should give her full attention to her child.Keeping all the values aside that I learnt from my parents, I went back to work and will work till my last breath.I missed my daughter every second. She has started recognizing and throwing expressions for likes and dislikes

28、. I cannot share my feelings with anyone, as I do not want anyone to know that I am broken completely from inside.My husband and my daughter are my greatest strength but I ignore them just to earn money and fulfill my dreams that I have.If one day, my daughter complains to someone about her mom, ple

29、ase tell her that she is my reason for survival and happiness and she is the only one who brings smile to my face.56. The author began to work after her marriage mainly because _.A.

33、one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not

34、clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play wit

35、h their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful

36、 with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to thei

37、r children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”61. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome

39、us person; an ordinary person63. A person _ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use64. It is better for parents _.A. to praise and encour

40、age their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth.B. The less you

41、 use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.CA lazy Susan is an addition to a table, which is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. Th

42、is is accomplished through the use of a turntable(转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when pushed by those at table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place as the lazy Susan is turned about.A lazy Susan may also be a part o

43、f a kitchen cabinet. One may spin the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods stored in it. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.Whether the lazy Susan is on a tabletop or wit

44、hin a cabinet, it can be made of a variety of materials. Most commonly, a lazy Susan is made of either plastic, wood or glass. Some people believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, though it was referred to as a dumb waiter(上菜升降架) at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the laz

45、y Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph(留声机), which later developed into the

46、lazy Susan.Regardless of who invented it, it wasnt until 1917 that the term lazy Susan was created in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term dumb waiter is still used rather than the term lazy Susan. The reason for the name lazy Susan remains a mystery. One theory is that

47、it was named after either Jeffersons or Edisons daughter, both of whom were named Susan.66. According to the passage, a lazy Susan _.A. is a person who serves food at tableB. is a waitress who helps move dinner tablesC. is an additional round table in a dining roomD. is a turntable that passes food

48、around the table67. Which of the following is NOT true of the lazy Susan?A. On a tabletop, it is convenient for people to have dinner.B. Within a cupboard, it is easy for people to see what is inside.C. The turntable was invented in 1917.D. It can be made of many kinds of materials.68. Why did Jeffe

49、rsons daughter complain she was served last when having meals?A. Because she was too lazy.B. Because she was the youngest.C. Because the table was too tall for her.D. Because the table couldnt move food for her.69. From the passage, we can know that _.A. the lazy Susan was invented earlier than the

50、phonographB. Susan was the name of Jeffersons and Edisons daughterC. Jefferson and Edison invented the lazy Susan at the same timeD. When people talk about a lazy waitress they use the term “Susan”70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. What is a lazy Susan?B. When was the lazy Susan created?C.

51、Why do inventions come from the daily life?D. How was “dumb waiter” replaced by “lazy Susan”?DThe man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two

52、 men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other. “Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes. “And why do you want to do th

53、at?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my departments programmes. Theres great demand for them,” he answered. The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC

54、 became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it. The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,”he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.”Robert noticed the word “may.” He
