体裁:记叙文话题:个人情感词数:721 时间是:8′I was no different from any other mother.When my little boy, Skyler, was born, I longed for the day he would talk to me.My husband and I dreamed about the first swe et“Mama〞or“Dada〞.Every cry or coo was a small glimpse into my son's mind.My baby's noises were even more precious to me because Skyler had been born with several health problems.At first, the problems had delayed his development, but once they were safely behind us, I looked forward to my son's first words.They didn't come.At age three,Skyler was diagnosed as autistic(自闭症的),a developmental disability destined to affect his social and emotional wellbeing throughout his entirelife.Skyler couldn't talk—wouldn't talk.I would probably never hear any words from him at all.In a store, I would hear a child calling “Mommy〞, and I would wonder if that was what my little boy might sound like.I wondered how it would feel to hear my child call out for me.But I could have learned to live with his silence if it weren't for another hallmark characteristic of autism:Skyler formed no attachments.He didn't want to be held, much preferring to lie in his bed or sit in his car seat.He wouldn't look at me; sometimes, he even looked through me.Once, when I took him to the doctor, we talked to a specialist who was of my size, age and who had the same hair color as me.When it was time to go, Skyler went to her instead of me—he couldn't tell us apart.When Skyler was three, he spent three days at Camp Courageous for disabled children in Iowa, and when he returned he didn't even recognize me.The pain was almost unbearable.My own son didn't even know I was his mother.I hid the pain, and we did the best we could for Skyler.We enrolled him in our local area educational agency preschool, where the teachers and speech pathologist worked hard to help Skyler connect with the world around him.They used pictures and computervoicemachines that spoke for him, and sign language.These devices gave me little glimpses of who Skyler was, even if he didn't understand who I was.“He will talk,〞the speech pathologist insisted, but inside,_ I had given up hope.The one dream I couldn't let go was to have Skyler understand that I was his mom.Even if I never heard him say “Mom〞, I wanted to see the recognition in his eyes. The summer of Skyler's fourth year was when it started.A smoldering (郁积的) ember of understanding in him sparked, and fanned by our efforts, steadily flamed.His first words were hardly recognizable, often out of context, never spontaneous.Then, slowly, he could point to an item and say a word.Then two words together as a request.Then spontaneous words.Each day, he added more and more recognizable words, using them to identify pictures and ask questions.We could see his understanding increase, till his eyes would seek out mine, wanting to comprehend.“You Mom?〞 he said one day.“Yes, Skyler, I'm Mom.〞He asked his teachers and caregivers, “You Mom?〞“No, Skyler, not Mom.〞“You my Mom?〞 he said back to me.“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.〞And finally, a rush of understanding in his eyes, “You my Mom.〞“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.〞If those had been Skyler's only words ever, they would have been enough for me:My son knew I was his mother.But Skyler wasn't done.One evening I leaned against the headboard on Skyler's bed, my arms wrapped around him.He was cozily tucked between my legs, our bodies warm and snug as I read to him from one of his favorite books—a typical affectionate(深情的) scene between mother and son, but because of Skyler's autism, one that I could never take for granted.I stopped reading.Skyler had interrupted me, leaning back his head so he could look me in the eyes.“Yes, Skyler?〞And then the voice of an angel, the voice of my son, “I love you, Mom.〞【语篇解读】本文真实地记录了作者作为一位自闭症孩子的母亲的心路历程。

★A阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案.In the United States, a nation fatter than any other, running remains the most popular workout activity. That's according to a Fitbit analysis of fitness tracker user data. Here’s the cruel fact, though: Running miles at a time doesn’t shed fat as efficiently as other forms of exercise. In some ways, it doesn’t help much at all.As fitness author Lou Schuler explains in his book, The New Rules of Lifting For Women, relying on long-distance running to lose weight becomes a key problem. The human body, ever-resourceful, eventually adapts to the repetitive nature of running. That means the body burns fewer calories for the same amount of work. “If your goal is to be leaner, then greater endurance isn’t really to your benefit,” Schuler says.Dr. William Roberts, a former president of the American College of Sports Medicine, said, “But if I’m looking at a gym and looking at what I can get, it’s whatever I can use that moves and works the most muscle groups at the sam e time.” “That means adding strength training to any pure running routine, ”Roberts said, “the latter of which neglects upper body muscles.” “Losing weight requires about 40 to 60 minutes of activity most days of the week, ”he said. “If you can build stren gth and build muscle mass, you’re going to burn more calories,” Roberts said. That’s because strength training causes tiny tears in the muscles. Those require calories as they repair, meaning your body keeps working long after you leave the gym.If you love running, fear not: Sprinting may work as well. A study from the University of Western Ontario asked one group of people to run at a slow, steady pace for 30 to 60 minutes, three times per week. Another group ran 30-second sprints, between four and six of them, three times each week —a way less time-intensive routine. The sprinters shed more than twice the body fat of the joggers after six weeks, while gaining some muscle mass.1. What is the best title of the passage?A . Long distance running doesn’t help losing weight.B . United States is a nation fatter than any other.C . Running is becoming more and more popular.D . The efficiency means to burn out the calories.2. What conclusion did Schuler draw?A . Human body has the nature of running.B . Long running improves the endurance.C . No calories are burned in the running.D . Long running isn’t helpful at all.3. Why does strength and muscle training burn more calories?A . Because it uses one muscle group at the same time.B . Because it has some effect even after the practice.C . Because strength training makes the muscles tiny.D . Because losing weight requires an hour of activity.4. What is sprinting?A . Running fast in a short time.B . Jogging in the fast style.C . Gaining some muscle mass.D . Running at a steady pace.★B阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案.Whether it’s a camping holiday in the countryside or a weekend bike ride, the experts are in agreement: the healthiest thing you can do as a family this summer is to simply step outdoors —and get moving.To maintain a basic level of health, children aged 5 to 18 should get at least one hour of physical activity every day. However, new figures show that only 22 percent of children in England achieve this. In children under five, less than one in ten meet the guidelines for their age.Children spend much time on social media, in front of computer screens, televisions and devices, putting them at an increased risk of conditions in later life, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Effects can be emotional too: numerous studies have found that British children are some of the unhappiest in the world. A recent international study put the UK 38th out of 48 countries for happiness of 15-year-olds.The good news is that meeting the daily exercise and screen-time requirements can make a huge difference. Last week, a US study found that children who follow the government advice on physical activity, screen time and sleep have an 89 percent lower risk of being obese. Here, our experts show why it’s time to get your children and grandchildren to put down their iPhones, tablets and game controllers and get busy outside…Leading neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield is a broadcaster and writer of numerous books including Mind Change, which looks at the effects of technology use on young minds. She says, “Studies have shown that physical activity can improve learning skills. We know that exercise can help the growth of brain cells. Recent data suggests that physically active children have more active brains. Researchers found that after 20 minutes of activity, children scored better in reading, spelling and maths, while just one active lesson at school resulted in a 21 percent reduction in the time teachers spent managing behaviour.1. What does the writer want to tell the readers?A . People should have a very long holiday.B . It’s bad for us to get together in summer.C . Going out to exercise benefits us much.D . It’s effecti ve to do sports in summer.2. What does the underlined phrase “the guidelines” refer to?A . Children should exercise more than one hour a day.B . Only 22% children in England reach the standard.C . The healthiest thing you can do is to stop the media.D . More children will suffer from the heart disease soon.3. What will the daily exercise help with the children?A . They won’t suffer from the type 2 diabetes.B . They will become the happiest in the world.C. They will mostly have the standard weight.D . They will put down their books again.4. How does the physical activity affect the children’s study?A . It will make their learning skills better.B . It will make the students active at home.C . It will get them score less in reading.D . It will take the children more time.★C阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案.Drinking beetroot(甜菜) juice before exercise could take years off your brain. Combining the drink with exercise strengthens certain regions of the brain, making it appea r more youthful and potentially preventing the organ’s decline. This finding could help people who are at the risk of brain deterioration(恶化) to remain functionally independent, such as those with a family history who have suffer from the brain damage. Bee troot juice’s power likely lies in its nitric oxide content, which both increases blood flow to the brain and improves exercise performance.Study author Professor Jack Rejeski said, “Nitric oxide is a really powerful material. It goes to the areas of the body which need oxygen, and the brain is a heavy feeder of oxygen in your body. Compared to exercise alone, adding a beetroot juice supplement to exercise resulted in brain improvement that closely resembles what you see in younger adults.”Scientists from Wake Forest University, North Carolina, studied 26 men and women aged 55 and older who did not exercise and had high blood pressure. Some participants were given beetroot juice one hour before walking for 50 minutes without having a rest, while others did the same exercise but without the drink. This was repeated three times a week for six weeks. Those who drank the juice had healthier brains, including the regions involved in movement, emotion and cognitive function. The scientists also found higher levels of nitrate in those who drank thejuice. Beetroot contains nitrate, which is first turned to nitrite and then nitric oxide in the body. This comes after researchers from Queen Mary University of London found one daily glass of 250ml beetroot juice lowers blood pressure.1. What does the underlined phrase “This finding” refer to?A . The benefits drinking beetroot brings in.B . Certain regions of the brain growing large.C . Drinking a lot of water before exercise.D . Preventing the organ's decline is impossible.2. Why does the beetroot juice improve the brain improvement?A . Because it includes nitric oxide.B . Because it brings the risk of brain deterioration.C . Because it reduces the exercise.D . Because it stops the blood flow in the brain.3. How many times did the participants exercise in the test?A . 3 times.B . 6 times.C . 12 times.D . 18 times.4. Where can you find the article?A . In a travel guide.B . In a weather magazine.C . In a science magazine.D . In a good novel.★D阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案.Exposure to more light during the day and less light at night is important for healthy sleep patterns because it helps to keep the right body clock, the study team writes in the journal Sleep Health. The results suggest that in office environment, being exposed either to daylight or electric lights that are rich in short wave blue light may be important for the health of workers. “Many office buildings may actually be moving in the direction of reducing light,” said Figueiro.“Much has been done to reduce light levels to promote energy efficiency, which is important, but we may be going too far in this direction.” she added, “We need to start thinking about how we light our dayti me environment.”To see whether typical office workers get enough light to regulate theirsleep-wake cycle, the study team found participants in five government office buildings across the United States. A total of 109 employees working at the offices wore light-measuring devices for one week in summertime, and 81 of these participants repeated the experiment in winter as well. The office workers wrote down their sleep and wake time and completed questionnaires about their mood and sleep quality at the end of each study period.Researchers found that people who were exposed to greater amounts of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and noon, fell asleep more quickly at night compared to those exposed to low light in the morning. People getting more morning light were also less likely to report feelings of depression and stress.Office workers who were exposed to high levels of light all day, from 8 am to 5 pm, also reported lower levels of sleep disturbance and depression.A lack of good quality sleep has been linked to mental and physical health problems, including issues with mood, thinking and the immune system. There are many easy things we can do during the day to increase our exposure to sunlight that could have beneficial effects on mood and sleep for many people, such as looking out of the window, seeking light during the day, especially during the morning, going out during lunch time.1. Why do many office buildings reduce the light in the office?A . They want to keep the right body clock.B . They know less light is very important.C . They need daylight or electric lights.D . They would like to save some energy.2. How did the researcher know the light the workers got in the office?A . They tested their sleep-wake cycles.B . They offered light-measuring devices.C . They repeated the experiment again.D .They had the questionnaires completed.3. What happened to people who got greater amounts of light in the morning?A . They felt positive.B . They woke up quickly.C . They felt stressed.D . They got tired easily.4. What can people do to make them exposed to sunlight?A . They link their physical health problems with good quality sleep.B . They can look out of their windows.C . They should pay attention to their sleep quality.D . They are able to have lunch in offices.【答案】★A 1-4 ABBA★B 1-4 CACA★C1-4 AADC★D1-4 DBAB。

【2014·江西六校高三联考】Most people will answer a ringing ually you don’t know who is phoning or how urgent their business is,so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore.In one experiment,a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports.Then he called the numbers.Someone nearly always answered.When he asked why,people usually said,“Because it rang.”A few years ago in New Jersey,a man with a rifle killed 13 people.Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out.A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called.The man put down his rifle and answered the phone.“What do you want?” he said,“I’m really busy right now.”Imag ine you are at work and the phone is ringing in someone else’s office.Do you answer it or not?In one survey on telephone use,51% of participants told researchers that they did.We can’t ignore the phone and for that reason,it forces its way into our life.It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that,the caller is often someone we don’t really want to talk to.However,in the survey,58% said they never took the phone off the hook,and 67% didn’t mind if someone called during a television programme.For 44% i t wasn’t a problem if someone rang during a meal,while only 28% were annoyed or upset.If someone phoned in the middle of the night,40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened,while around 30% got angry.Of course,when someone is really annoying,you can choose to hang up on him/her.This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone,but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases.Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.1.In the experiment,people answered the researcher’sphone________.A.in order to help him gather the dataB.for fear that it was urgentC.to test the function of the phoneD.to show their interest in the survey2.The gunman answered the phone because________.A.he decided not to give up his resistance to the policeB.he intended to be friendly with the mediaC.he wanted to tell the reporter that he was too busy to offer any informationD.he tended to answer a ringing phone3.According to Paragraph 3,most people________when they were doing their work or watching television.A.refused to answer the phone in someone else’s officeB.couldn’t ignore the phoneC.minded the ringing of the phoneD.kept the phone ringing4.What is implied by the sentence “79% said they were prepared to do it in some c ases”?A.They also agreed to hang up on others regardless of rudeness.B.They were prepared to punish those rude callers.C.They were annoying rude callers.D.They were going to hang on annoying phones.5.The purpose of the survey is to find out________.A.how the phone interrupts people’s workB.what role the phone plays in people’s livesC.why people mind a ringing phone sometimesD.when the phone communication is more welcome语篇解读本文是一篇调查报道。

【2014·高三年级模拟考试】Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells,called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicatedmunication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger,smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1. According to the first paragraph,________.A.the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB.until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mystery C.many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined D.one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases2.Training muscles is compared to________.A.using the brainB.connecting things in your brainC.lifting weightsD.doing research about the brain3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The complex structure of the brain.B.How changes in the muscles affect the brain.C.The importance of the brain.D.How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.4.What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Strong. B.Smart.C.Popular.

江苏省2014届高三英语(牛津版)一轮复习攻略训练:阅读理解(2)

●阅读经典习题:AFor high school leavers starting out in the working world,it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习).In some countries,schools have programs to help students onto the path to work.In the Unites States,however,such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses,students are likely to get higher earnings in later years.The students are more likely to stay in school,graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany,students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships.German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world.Harvard Education school professor RobertSchwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track.Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country‟s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school.James Madison High School in New York,for example,encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses.The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those fields while they‟re still at high school.However,even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work,the job market is daunting.In the US,unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience,they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,”said Michael,a researcher in the US.1. In the author‟s opinion, American high school leavers __________.A. have enough career-related coursesB. need more career advice from their schoolsC. perform better in exams than German studentsD. can get higher earnings in later years2. According to Robert Schwartz,_________.A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB. students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC. education reform should focus on students‟ performance in examsD. teenagers in the US can‟t miss out on the summer job experience3. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.B. Students with career—based courses never have problems finding a job.C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.D. High school leavers with no practical skills can‟t find a job absolutely4. What‟s the main idea of the text?A. Arguments about recent US education reform.B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C. The lack of career—based courses in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school leavers.5. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragrap h 6 most probably means___________.A. discouragingB. interestingC. creativeD. unbearableBDo you think it is ever a good idea for a teenager to have a credit card?My kids watch closely as I swipe the card through the register. The y‟ve seen me do it hundreds, thousands of times. Cool. They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, it‟s almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy.So it shouldn‟t be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. The question is, should they?While some argue it‟s best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees. Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting a credit card for your teenager is actually, “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible. ”Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, …Hey, my name is on this. Don‟t get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor. “When parents were the co-obligors(共同借贷人),the children caused less debt. If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.”Still, Pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier. “Yes, there has to be tea ching going on and it has to start when they‟re younger. You‟re not going to get rid of credit cards. They are here to stay. You have to have them. You can‟t fight progress,” Pinto said.Ramsey, however, disagrees. “Throwing teens into a pool of (credit)sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache,”he said“You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. But paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do. ”6.

Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Conmecticut.When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you ?”But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I am tired.”One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?”It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”I also surprised by how hard-working .US students are .In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’ it. But here, a “good” stude nt gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.61.According to the writer, textbook English is _________everyday English.A. quite different fromB. the same asC. more difficult than62.What does the word “tan ”in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?A晒黑B晒白 C 能量63.A good US student spends his/her time ________.A. only in doing homeworkB. only on sports or musicC. on studies, sports or music and public work64.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The writer is now in US.B. American girls love to have white skin. students are talented and hard-working.65.Which is the best title for the passage?A. My Own Travel in the USB. My Studying in the USC. My Opinion about the USIII People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的);they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and therewas a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning”a bit of space?41.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because______.A. he had no place to sitB. so meone had invaded his “space”C. too many people shared a section with himD. some other people talked about things he didn’t know about42. “… you feel lonely and ‘outside’”in paragraph 4 means that_______.A. you are alone outside the houseB. you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people43.In Paragraph 4 ,the pronoun “them’ refers to(所指)“___________”.A. public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries44.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D.

One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.“How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A. comes from AmericaB. is a young womanC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China53.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.A. saying “I love you”B. cookingC. getting good gradesD. doing something helpful;54.In paragraph 4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?A.
