31、 worth more than 100 poundsD. order within a certain period BAll of us have read exciting stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the ma

32、n chose to spend his last days or his last hours.Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do in similar situations . What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.

33、Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time continues before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.Most of us take life for granted. We

34、 know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. So we go about our little task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.The same attitude, I am afraid, falls on the

35、use of our abilities and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make t

36、he fullest use of these blessed abilities. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without full attention, and with little appreciation. Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill. It is the same old story of not being grateful without mi

37、ssing. 60. When reading the exciting stories, we usually _. A. have curiosity about the heros limited life B. show great interest in our own livesC. find many regrets in reviewing the past D. have mercy on the doomed man61. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. the author thinks it would be exce

38、llent to live if he should die the next dayB. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and sensesC. each of us should treasure what we have possessed todayD. many of us are able to make full use of our time62. The underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. happilyB

39、. unclearly C. freely D. enthusiastically63. The best title for this passage may probably be _.A. Not Being Grateful without Missing B. Giving a Hand to the DisabledC. Making Use of Abilities and Senses D. Learning from Exciting StoriesCIt is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach the

40、ir children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children

41、believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.My daughter Carlas fifth - grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they h

42、ad missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate your childs work at home. Dont always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasnt done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learnin

43、g is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.64.The whole passage deals with _.A. social education B. school educationC. family educationD. pre-school education65.The au

44、thor thinks that _.A. there is no way to get children to help at homeB. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will becomeC. it is very difficult to make children responsible for houseworkD. children can be forced to help with housework66. What is a goo

45、d suggestion about how to evaluate your childs work at home?A. praise his success B. promise him a tripC. give him a punishment D. promise him a ball game67. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. pride goes before a fallB. practice makes perfectC. no pains, no gainsD. failure is the mother of s

46、uccessD Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or

47、smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however ,they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary

48、 vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patt

49、erns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of ""body wisdom, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of

50、 our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds , while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them. 68In the experiment on rats, a fra

51、grant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to_.Aencourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched waterBfind out rats preference in flavorCtest whether rats know which drink is good for themDdemonstrate that vitamins are tasteless 69As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are

52、 similar because _.Aboth have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietBboth prefer flavored food and drinkCboth have the same eating patternsDboth develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors70.In the classic experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .Agive many choices of drinksBprovid

53、ed with various kinds of baby foodCplaced and fed in a cafeteriaDtrained to select a balanced diet71According to the passage, adultseating habits differ from those of babies because_.Aadults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their healthBadults usually cannot resist the temptat

54、ion of various delicious foodsCadults eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsDadults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns E“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (婴儿包) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gaspedthe baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the babys hearing was perfect except his appearance. One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself in
