As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.（）26.

They believe that their family members don’t understand t hem as wellas their friends do. In large families, it is quite common for brothers and sistersto fight with each other, and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talkingon the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss important things. These things are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?Your answers are welcome.（）31.

The one time I wasn’t sure of t hatwas on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wakeup earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into theNorth Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it wasa terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realizedthat I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. WhenI watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terriblecould have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhapssome good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realizelife is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things changein the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’reliving and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, thereis nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over,so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’tlive by it. All you can do is just live.（）36. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.A. terribleB. badC. goodD. real（）37. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A.
