I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because

27、of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies，wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with th

28、e saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my

29、life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. Its as if her eyes said，“Dont leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was the

30、n that I ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills.

33、BOne of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On September11th,1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month

34、 earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thi

35、ng had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming. Dont expect any presents this year. Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. If your baby brother

36、 lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, What? Hes all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs. The hospital said we ca

37、n bring Richard home! Thank God. I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not e

38、mpty; they were filled with love!60. What happened to the author on September 11th,1958 ?A. He got a baby brother B. He got a Christmas gift C. He became four years old D.

40、yCAt a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders(性别).David Chadwell, South Carolinas coordinator (协调者)of single gender educa

41、tion says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.” Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpr

42、et the world as objects moving through space,” he says. The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. Its no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class. The female eye, on the other hand, is

43、drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesnt need to move as much as in boys class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention. Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone

44、speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling,” Chadwell says. “They think youre mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys teachers should sound more forceful, even excited. A boys nervous system causes him to

45、 be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Gi

46、rls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts(肠道), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious. These differences can be applied in the classroom. Chadwell adds, “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.” 64. What is David Chadwell

47、s attitude toward separating elementary-age boys and girls while learning? A. SupportiveB. Worried C. Concerned D. Uninterested65. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?(= Paragraph 1= Paragraph 2, = Paragraph 3 . = Paragraph 8) A. B. C. D. D.66. To engage boys in a class, the

48、 teacher _. A. had better move constantly while teaching B. must have a moving object in this handC. needs to wear clothes in warm colorD. has to speak politely 67.Which of the following students is most likely to be focused? A. A boy sitting in a warm room B. A standing boy who is faced with stress

49、C. A girl standing in a cold room D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressureDWork is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early Protestant immigrants came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the Protestant Work Ethic (

50、道德规范), still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological needs, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work

51、defines them: they are what they do. What happens then, when a person can no longer work? Almost all Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are use

52、less and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire; but leaving ones job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without their jobs. Retirements can also bring financial prob

53、lems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These check

54、s do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation is forcing prices higher each year; Social Security checks alone

55、cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance, Medicare (health care) and welfare (general assistance), but many senior citizens have to change their life styles after retirement. They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other ne

56、cessities.Of course, many senior citizens are happy with retirement. They have time to spend with their families or enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time, others do volunteer work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young people to get started i

57、n new business. Many retired citizens also belong to “Golden Age” groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many chances for retirees. American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is

58、 taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services such as free courses, food service, and help with housework. Retired citizens are a rapidly growing percentage of the population. Th

59、is part of the population is very important and we must meet their needs. After all, every citizen will be a senior citizen some day.68.
