26、A Last weekend marked one of the nicest days so far this spring. It was warm with a tiny wind, the sun streamed through lightweight sweaters to warm the skin; the male choir (教堂的唱诗班) was warming up, and the students were moving around the lawn (草坪) behind the huge crowd of six-thousand-plus observer

27、s.With all of the parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles, the state university was a center of activity. My nephew was going to receive his bachelors degree. Who would have guessed that four years would go by so quickly?As the crowd of freshly polished candidates wandered, joked,

28、 hugged and chatted behind the bleachers(看台), I heard several cell phones ring. There were several casual conversations going on with the accompanying giggles （咯咯的笑） of the not-quite-mature students, but then one conversation in particular caught my attention:Yes, Grandma, Im really graduating. I ca

29、nt believe it, either! I never thought Id be here today, you know? Really! Like, I know it! Yes, its a very special day. Oh, what did the doctor say? He did?

30、t yes, the center aisle (过道) the grass is awesome! Smells really good, too Oh wow, theyve got like a million balloons theyre going to release! Yes, Kellys here Okay, Ill give her your love here we go! Gran, Im graduating!Love you, too, Gran. Im so glad you could be here with me!And somehow, my initi

31、al(最初的) dislike at the use of cell phones and the casual conservations during such a serious occasion left me.

35、emories and ideas. To test how much dreams can help learning, Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape-fitting game called Tetris(饿罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep. Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes. Interestingly, the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams a

36、nd improved their game the most. Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills. As we dream, many important tasks are getting done. The brain decides what to keep and what to forget. It is connecting new experiences to older learning. In fact, the brain is learning all night long

37、. Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions(情绪). At night, emotions are in the drivers seat. People who have had an upsetting experience often dream about it afterward. Often the dream event changes somehowanother way the brain tries to make the memory less upset. So if y

38、our best friend moves away, you might dream that youre the one whos moving. In fact, dreams have a proven power to improve mood, and people who dream about whats bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who dont. Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every nightin the course of your lif

39、e, youll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming. Theres probably no single answer to the question why we dream, but there doesnt have to be.

45、 might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest：“I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”Some people have lots of money because they we

46、re born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things

47、in life, like food.Patents might sometimes keep a child off sweet food as a form of punishment for saying bad things.

61、e eggshells（蛋壳） filled with confetti (五彩纸屑) and topped with tissue paper theyre colorful, but watch out! A friend might break a cascaron over your head, showering you with rainbow-colored confetti!Cascarones may have come from China, where the eggshells were filled with talcum powder (爽身粉) and given

62、 as gifts. Marco polo brought them to Italy in the late thirteenth century. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these eggs were used at European weddings and dances.Empress Carlota, wife of Emperor Maximilian, introduced the eggs to Mexico during her husbands rule from 1864 to 1867.

Some students thin

72、k that listening test should not be canceled. They insist that listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international coopera

73、tion is becoming more and more frequent. But others dont agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big diffe

74、rence in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city. In my opinion, listening test should not be canceled. As you know English is a language that represents the sounds of pronunciation. Therefore, listening skills is the most important thing of all the four skills in mastering a language. So do more listening in English，then youll gain your success in learning English.
