This was my grandmother's first Christmas without grandfather, and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever. When my parents and I

36 at her house, we found she had waited up all night for us. The house did seem a little

37 without grandfather.

Grandfather had always said that the Christmas 38 was the most important decoration of all. So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather's closet (壁橱). Through our efforts, we finally stepped back to 39 our handiwork. It looked beautiful. 40 something was missing.

"Where' s your star?" I asked.

The star was my grandmother' s favorite part of the tree.

"Why, it 41 be here somewhere," she said, starting to sort through the boxes again. "Your grandfather always 42 everything so carefully when he took the tree down."

As we emptied the boxes and 43 no star, my grandmother's eyes filled with tears. Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together. It brought them great happiness. Now, on her first Christmas without him, the star was 44 , too.

"Don' t worry, Grandmother," I 45 her. "We'll find it for you."

My mother and I formed a search 46 . "Let' s start in on the closet where the ornaments (装饰品) were," Mother said. "Maybe the star just fell out of the box. "

That sounded 47 , so I began to search the closet. I thought I tried every 48 , but no star. I could see grandmother was 49 , although she tried not to show it.

"What's in this wrapped box?" Mother suddenly called out. "It was at the bottom of father's closet. "

Grandmother took the box in 50 and opened it. Her face 51 when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star. There was a(n) 52 attached.

Don' t be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while packing the decorations, and I couldn't

53 to tell you. Thought it was time for a new one. I hope it brings you as much

54 as the first one. Merry Christmas!

Love,

Bryant So grandmother's tree had a star after all, a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another. And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas 55 for her.

Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese

The fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten(幼儿园）, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.

The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians（政治家）, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.

Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.

Advocates see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chi nese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust（调整）.”

In Chicago, the trend（趋势）extends beyond sc hools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick. “We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.

31. What CANNOT be learned from this passage?

A. Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.

B. Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.

C. French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.

D. Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.

Now Hear This

What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'? Both men have hearing damage from exposure(暴露）to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist（吉他手）for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.

Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.

"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.

What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart（表）below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices（设备）such as earplugs becomes critical（重要）.

The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.'? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather. "I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "

Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "

.

A. loud music is a major cause of hearing loss

B. famous people tend to have hearing problems

C. teenagers should stay away from school bands

D. the problem of hearing damage is widely known

64. In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "recondition" means .

A. not to be seen

B. to fill with sound

C. to become larger in size

D. to make good again

65. The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show .

A. a list of harmful sounds

B. the effect of rock concerts

C. the noise levels of familiar sounds

D. relationship between daily activities and hearing loss

66.Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree?

A. When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead.

B. Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.

C. Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.

D. Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

How to look good in a photo?

What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out—all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺）taken out by computers．

Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．

For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．

For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape．

Keep shoulders back．

Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．

Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门）is clicked for full eyes．

Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days．

There were no tree near the path,so he took a shelter under a big rock. After drink the rest of his water, he took off his shirt and rolled them into a pillow. Then he lied down and went to sleep.It was late in the afternoon when he awoke. He was about to sit up while he felt something move near his feet.He looked up. A long snake was about to crawl across his legs. Jim watched, too terrified to do nothing. The snake

moved across his legs, then crawled and disappear under the rock.

答案与详解：

1.such→so

so + 形容词/副词+ that-clause, such + a(an) + 名词+that-clause

2.tree→trees

主语谓语在数上应一致。no trees相当于not any trees。

3.dri nk→drinking

drinking 为动名词，其后的the rest of his water为drink的宾语。

4.them→it

此处应用代词it 代替his shirt。

5.lied→lay

此处为动词形式误用，应特别注意形近词。如：lie(躺)-lay-lain, lying; lay(放、产卵) –laid- la id -laying; lie(撒谎) -lied –lied- lying。

6.while-when

7.move→moving

moving为现在分词做宾补，强调“感觉到有什么东西正在动”。

8.up→down

此处为逻辑错误，句意为：低头看脚下之物。

9.nothing-anything

10.disappear→disappeared

此句中moved, crawled和disappeared为三个并列谓语，故用过去式。
