I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.

When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said , “I love you. ” I didn't know what to say. 21 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and look down at him. My first thought was that he must need 22 with his homework or he was trying to 23 me for some news.

Finally I asked, “What was that all about ? ”

“Nothing , ”he said . “My teacher said we should 24 our parents that we love them and see what they say . It's an experiment .

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 25 .

“Most of the fathers had the 26 reacting as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 27 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The 28 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 29 . It is something all people 30 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 31 we don't all express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad he loves him.

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 32 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for 33 second. And just before he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don't know if 34 that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children said “I love you ”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right 35 .

I should have no prob lem crossing this desert ! But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed add was very unhappy "Maybe I can't reach the ocean in the end ,"she said sadly to herself. At this lime, a deep voice came, "If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river .” It was the voice of the desert.

"That’s because you can't give up what you are.

After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.

"The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course," explained the desert very patiently.

"And whether you're a river or vapor, your natu re never changes ,”continued the desert.

Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze , while carried her to the next stage of her life.

There once lived a brilliant student. He was eager to acquire more and more knowledge. Then he heard of a great teacher to whom he travelled long to meet.

On arriving at the teacher’s feet, he said, “Master, teach me.” The teacher received the student with a smile. He inquired(询问) about him. He asked in detail all that the student had learnt till then.

Later, he asked his assistant to get tea for the two of them. A big pot of tea with two cups and saucers was brought before the master. The student volunteered to serve the tea. The master brushed aside his offer with a smile.

He asked the student to lift up a cup and saucer so that he could serve him tea. The student lifted his cup and saucer. The master started pouring tea into his cup. The tea filled the cup. The master did not stop. He kept

pouring the tea. It flowed out of the cup into the saucer. Still the master kept on pouring the tea. The student was surprised.

When the tea started overflowing(溢出) the saucer too, the student said “Master, you are serving tea more than the cup can hold.” Master smiled and stopped serving him tea.

He said, “Dear student, the same is the case with you. You have learned enough. Your knowledge is overflowing. Put this into practice rather than wanting to acquire more knowledge, which will go waste like this tea.”

The student realized the importance of practicing what is learnt and left the master, a wiser man.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse,“I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tr ied and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

( )44.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Opinions about competition are different among people.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D .Failures are necessary experiences in competition

( )45.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward.

B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities.

D. It encourages individual efforts.

( )46.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail ?

A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

( )47.Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

D

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they welcome us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

( )48. The writer of this passage must be ______.

A. an American

B. a professor

C. a Chinese

D. a student

( )49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

B. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

D. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

( )50. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

A. warmly welcomed at the airport

B. offered a ride to his home

C. treated to dinner in a restaurant

D. treated hospitably at his home

( )51. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

A. Friendships between Chinese

B. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

C. Americans’ hospitality

D. Friendships between Americans

The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad (一度时髦的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” —and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer — which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet — adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear — popular in the US and the UK —that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of The Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of The Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, former head of the Language Center at King’s College London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便).” Adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western world is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend unavoidably disappeared.

( )52. People use iPlayer to _________.

A. listen to music

B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online

D. read newspapers

( )53. We can infer that The Independent’s “i” is aimed at _________.

A. young readers

B. old readers

C. fashionable women

D. engineers

( )54. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _________.

A. portable

B. environmentally friendly

C. advanced

D. recyclable

( )55. The writer suggests that _________.

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. iTeddy is a living bear

C. the letter “b” replaces the letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long
