26、01. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my third graders were excitedly waiting for the great day of giving gifts. Each day the children made something new strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets (小装饰品) and bells made from wallpaper, which we hung from the ceiling. One girl was just watching

27、. I wondered what would happen to this child, once so happy, now so quiet. I hoped the festivities (庆祝活动) would please her. But nothing did. We made cards for parents, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made fried marbles (玻璃球). So I made each of my

28、students a little bag for carrying their fried marbles home. The day finally came. We were all excited as we exchanged the presents. But the girl just sat watching quietly. I had made a special bag for her. I wanted to see her smile. She opened the bag carefully. I waited, but she turned away. After

29、 school the children left. I was sitting down in a chair to catch my breath, when she came to me with a small white box in her hands. "For me?" I asked with a smile. She nodded. I opened the box. There inside, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. In a flash I knew she had made it for h

30、er mother, the mother she would never see again, the mother who had died just three weeks before. I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands and put it on my neck. I whispered, "Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it." Neither of us could stop the tears. She ran in

31、to my arms. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.50.

33、 Girl B Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of young people have seen the death and sufferings of a battle on TV. And the result has been a general loathing for war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who s

34、uffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfo

35、rtunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world and that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal

36、and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to r

37、ead a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen. 53. The underlined word “loathing” i

40、rs purpose of writing this passage can be _.A. To persuade people to watch TVB. To discourage people from watching TVC. To state the influence of television objectivelyD. To show us that TV programmes are interesting CThe possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested

41、 by new research. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells.As people believe that strong smells can affect the senses, volunteers were asked not to eat or drink for eight hours before th

42、e experiment began. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to take in pleasant smells such as vanilla(香草), and unpleasant smell such as durians(榴莲). The volunteers kept their hands in the water until it became too hot for them. When they could not bear the pain any more, they took their hands

43、out of the water.Scientists are interested in whether the senses or smell is related to pain and whether men and women have the same senses. Now, the study has proved that for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is no change.Dr Finkelstein has been studying smells since 1999. He says

44、that scientists already have data from 40 volunteers. He adds that this year, scientists will test another 60 volunteers and will be in a better position to explain the results.One explanation is that womens sense of smell developed long ago, and is linked to recognizing the smell of babies. Scienti

45、sts used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only. Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps, but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.57.

46、in hot water while taking in some pleasant smells, _.A. women may stand the pain of the hot water longerB. men may keep their hands in the hot water longerC. they will probably take their hands out at the same timeD. we dont know for sure who will take their hands earlier58.

Thursday morning as my machine ate up the last rows of corn, the 2003 harvest came to an end.Before this year, the climate had been terrible for almost everyone working on a farm.

52、chnology could not save my crop. I had been worried that it would be my turn to suffer what others had been suffering. However, the market was smiling at me.

53、es within two weeks, so I decided to store the other half of my crop that had not been sold to make more money.This was my last year as a full-time farmer. My landowners had accepted new farmers to rent the land, but I had no hard feelings about handing the work over to someone else. I no longer had
