thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. i opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.i was busy. i wanted to say “no” until i looked down at their feet. they were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“come in and ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”they walked over and sat down at the table. their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. i served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. then i went back to the kitchen and started cooking.the silence in the front room struck me. i looked in. the girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. the boy asked in a flat voice, “lady, are you rich？”“am i rich? pity, no！”i looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). the girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “your cups match your saucers.” they left after that, holding their papers against the wind. they had reminded me that i had so much for which to be grateful.plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. but they matched.i tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.i moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. the muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. let them be for a while, i thought, just in case i should begin to forget how rich i am. 36which of the following would be the best title for the text?alady, are you rich?ba story of thanksgiving daycdont forget how rich you

crisis hits the economy, its tough finding a jobespecially if youre competing with thousands of other hopeful students. sometimes you get the interview, but dont quite seem to land the job because you dont have related experience. dont despair! here are a few tips that might give you an edge. get connected to your network and try to expand it. talk to friends, family and acquaintances. let everyone know you are looking for a job. prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure its perfect. have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. get professional help. its worth the money to present yourself well. if money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the internet. when you apply for a job, be sure you match and

text is to_.ashow how to prepare for an interviewbwish people good luckcencourage people not to despairdgive advice on how to find a jobcboys need friends, suffer when they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. a recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile. girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.as boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. during the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. the confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. there is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”， someone he can trust. they may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.46the common belief of adults is that boys_. adont care about others as much as girlsbdont value friendship as much as girlschave the same friendship as girlsdhave healthier friendship than girls47according to the text, boys friendship_.ais usually built around active playbtends to be in small groups ccan bear mutual hurt between friendsddoesnt suffer from failure 48the author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove _.amany people believe girls are better at relationshipsbmost boys consider their friends very importantcboys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsdboys may be more active in a friendship49as a boy gets older, he tends to_.awiden his circle of friends to include different kinds of peoplebshift his focus from his friends to himselfcleave his parents out of his friendshipdbe confused about what a friendship is 50whats the best title for the text?afriendships between boys and girlsbboys and their friendshipcchildhood and adolescent friendshipdtips on making friends with boysdthe number of speakers of english in shakespeares time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the united states, canada, great britain, ireland, south africa, australia and new zealand. in addition to the standard varieties of english found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.in fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of english in addition to their own languages. the purpose for english learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.the main reason for the widespread demand for english is its presentday importance as a world language. besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, english is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. it is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. it is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former british colonies. many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the west. 51what would be the best title for this passage?athe difficulties of learning english binternational communications cthe standard varieties of english denglish as a world language 52which of the following statements is not true?asome 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of english. bthere are some 260 million native speakers of english in
