ABobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. "It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it," a source told FOX411. "They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive."People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. "Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye," said a family member.And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports."If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place," he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.Also, Brown is "not brain dead," as has been reported.And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They "are NOT fighting," says our source.21.

This text can most likely be found in _______.A. a law documentB. a fashion magazineC. an international newspaperD. a column on interesting culturesCThere is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.""My first desire is that," said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn（撒满）with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected." The king continued，"My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed I go out of this world.” With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.28. The first paragraph suggests that Alexander _________.A. was conquering many kingdoms.B. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all.C. wanted to leave as he came empty-handed.D. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things.29.

The author intends to ________.A. tell us the story of AlexanderB. introduce readers to the instructive lessons of AlexanderC. stress the powers of Alexander the GreatD. persuade people to realize what Alexander said31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Death of Alexander.B. The Greed of AlexanderC. Three Wishes of AlexanderD. The Life of AlexanderDAround the world, honeybee groups are dying in huge numbers: About one-third of nests collapse each year. For bees and the plants they pollinate (授粉) — as well as for beekeepers, farmers, honey lovers and everyone else who appreciates this marvelous social insect — this is a catastrophe.Honeybee collapse has been particularly worrying because there is no one cause, but rather a thousand little cuts. The main elements include the mixed impact of pesticides (杀虫剂) applied to fields, as well as pesticides applied directly into nets to control bugs, pests and diseases; nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of single-crop fields that lack diverse flowering plants; and commercial beekeeping itself, which destroys groups by moving most bees around the country multiple times each year to pollinate crops.The real issue, though, is not the volume of problems, but the interactions among them. Here we find a major lesson from the bees that we ignore at our risk: the concept of synergy (协同作用), where one plus one equals three, or four, or more. A typical honeybee colony contains remains from more than 120 pesticides. Alone, each represents a benign dose(良性剂量). But together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay (相互作用) can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees’immune systems, making them easier to suffer from diseases.Observing the death of honeybees should warn us that our own well-being might be similarly threatened, and the widespread collapse of so many groups presents a clear message: We must demand that our regulatory authorities require studies on how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds.Bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide. Bees could offer some ofthe pollination service needed for agriculture. People discovered that crop harvests, and thus profits, are maximized if some cropland are left uncultivated for bees. Meanwhile a variety of wild plants means a healthier, more diverse bee population, which will then move to the planted fields next door in larger and more active numbers.32. Which of the following is NOT the cause that leads to bees dying?A. Lack of nutrition from enough diverse flowering plants.B. The pests and diseases of the bees.C. The beekeepers’ destroying without intentionD. The pesticides applied to crops.33. By saying “one plus one equals three, or four, or more” in Paragra ph 3, the author means that __________.A. bees united mean they are much more powerfulB. bees united mean they are much more poisonousC. pesticides mixed mean they are much more poisonous.D. pesticides mixed mean they are much more effective.34. The lesson people can learn from bees dying is that ____________.A. medicine is as powerful as pesticideB. our health might be threatened by pesticidesC. we should protect bees by reducing the usage of pesticidesD. medicine may be harmful to us when used together35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Keeping a balance with nature is importantB. More plants mean more and healthier bees.C. Bees are very important to agriculture.D. Bees can bring in good higher profits to farmers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
