A
His own way to express love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”this simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother. (344 words)

MILAN, Italy - Can't get to Milan to see Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper?" All you need is an Internet connection. Officials put online an image of "The Last Supper" at 16
billion pixels（像素）— 1,600 times stronger than the images taken with the typical 10 million pixel digital camera.
The high resolution（清晰度）allows experts to examine details of the 15th century wall painting that they otherwise could not — including traces of drawings Leonardo put down before painting. The high-resolution allows viewers to look at details as though they were inches from the artwork. "You can see how Leonardo made the cups transparent, something you can't ordinarily see," said curator (馆长) Artioli. "You can also note the state of degradation（退化）the painting is in."
The work, in Milan's Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, was restored in a painstaking effort that ended up in 1999 — a project aimed at removing half a millennium of damage to the famed artwork.
"Over the years it has been subjected to bombardments(轰炸); it was used as a stall(马厩) by Napoleon," Artioli said.
The restoration removed 500 years of dirt while also removing previous restoration works that masked Leonardo's own work.
Even those who get to Milan have a hard time gaining admission to see the "Last Supper." Visits have been made more difficult by measures to protect it. Twenty-five visitors are admitted every 15 minutes to see the painting, a total of about 320,000 visitors a year. Visitors must pass through a filtration (过滤)system to help reduce the work's exposure to dust and pollutants.
"The demand is three or four times higher, but we can't accommodate(容纳) it because of efforts to preserve the painting," Artioli said.
6. When an expert views “The last Supper” online, he can do all of the following EXCEPT .
A. examine its details
B. save time and money
C. know its state
D. learn how to make cups
7. The underlined part “been subjected to” (in paragraph 4) can probably be replaced by “”.
A. stayed with
B. suffered from
C. depended on
D. been related to
8. The last paragraph mainly talks about ..
A. the measures to protect the painting
B. the beautiful scenery of Milan
C. the system to help reduce air pollution
D. the number of people in Milan
9. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A mysterious painting.
B. “The Last Supper” goes online.
C. The world masterpiece
D. How to enjoy “The Last Supper”

Joyce Sipes and Mary Ellen Dodge
When Joyce Sipes was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999, she shared the news immediately with her sister Mary Ellen Dodge. Mary Ellen was there for her--helping her through the terror, and
the fear, and the questions that are inevitably a part of hearing the word “cancer”.
Fortunately, a friend at work who had had a similar diagnosis highly recommended Alonzo Walker, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin surgical oncologist(外科肿瘤学家)and director of the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program. Joyce made an appointment. At an initial consultation, Dr. Walker spent two hours with Joyce and her husband. Joyce was so reassured; she cancelled her appointment to get a second opinion elsewhere.
Ultimately, Joyce’s cancer required a mastectomy(乳房切除术).Reconstructive surgery took place right away. She c ame to think of Dr. Walker as her partner, “not just my doctor.” And the Froedtert nurses, she says, were “very unusual and impressive.”
As it turned out, Joyce would soon have the chance to do something important for her sister Mary Ellen. During her own cancer treatment, Joyce suggested that Mary Ellen should get herself checked through the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program. In addition to its opportunities for examination and screening, the hospital had established a program especially for women in families at high risk for cancer. Sure enough, it turned our that Mary Ellen had some cysts(囊肿),one of which was dangerous enough that it needed to be surgically removed. She’s fine now-thanks to Joyce’s suggestion.
Both sisters experienced firsthand how Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin offers more than leading-edge technology and the unmatched experience of physicians in an academic medical center .It offers a comprehensive team approach-of consultation, collaboration, and care-all focused on the individual patient. That’s why Joyce came to think of Froedtert, throughout the process of her treatment, as being her “security blanket”.
Joyce Sipes has been cancer-free five years now-an important milestone(里程碑)for breast cancer survivors. Joyce and Mary Ellen are together once again in their workshop in Joyce’s home, making the beautiful market baskets, bread baskets, muffin(松饼)baskets, and Nantucket baskets that they-and their customers-love.
14. What did Mary Ellen do for her cancer-stricken sister?
A. She recommended Dr. Walket.

15. After talking with Dr. Walker, Joyce decided .
A. to get a second opinion elsewhere.
B. not to see any other doctors.
C. to give up treatment.
D. not to trust him.
16. Thanks to Joyce’s suggestion, Mary Ellen got.
A. an opportunity to work as a nurse.
B. an opportunity to do a surgical operation.
C. a timely check and treatment for her disease.
D. a chance to work for the Breast Cancer Program.
