I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping it would relax me.The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the p

18、ool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. “Where are you going?” he asked. When I told him about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.Finally the man said, “Even

19、with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.” All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling（摇摆的）bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle（挠痒）. “Yes, I know

20、 he does, ” I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive my father. Then I wished hed forgive me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 am. My sisters voi

His childhood lacked the harmony（和睦）that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but

25、its pain”. In fact, he inherited（继承）excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama（戏剧）and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding a

26、n Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter incl

27、udes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning t

28、he Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.

32、rt parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improving standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a

33、421 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, Chinas cabinet,

34、issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population. The paper said Chinas population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China h

35、ad nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the “I used to think that its not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Wang, whose parents and pare

36、nts-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Wangs father suffered a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.After his father recovered, Wang opened bank accounts for each parent and deposited some money into the account every month to pre

37、pare for future uncertainties.

43、ick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention.

45、eople feel better and reduce stress.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical

46、 history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problem among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, Which will work before it is too late. However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medi

47、cal treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.【小题1】Whats the best title

51、ays leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game.
