Each morning, Stevenson would take them out for a long 40 over the hills. They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd felt the days 42 . To keep the boy happy Robert asked the boy to do some 43 . One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the 46 treasure “said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure story in the boy’s 48 . While the rain was pouring, Robert sat down by the fire to write a story.

I found myself at a checkout counter behind an eldly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money , I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be Late for this date.      We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me .She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and I retuned her gift by smiling back.      “Must be a special lady,” whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers.” she said.      “Yes, she’s special,” I said ,and then to my embarrassment ,the words kept coming out . “It‘s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s’ the one ’，”jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”      “Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said .”My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and-of course- I miss him since he’s passed away.”       I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her .I touched her on the shoulder and said “You were right , you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I hand her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.       It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased . “You have a wonderful evening ,”I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.       I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night that I won her heart . 56．Why was the writer in a hurry that day?     A. He was to meet his girlfriend.             B. He had to go back to school soon.     C. He was delayed by an elderly lady.    D. He had to pick up some groceries. 57．What does the underlined phrase “her gift” (Paragraph 2 ) refer to?     A. Her words.         B. Her smile.      C. Her flowers.    D. Her politeness. 58．Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?     A. She told him a nice story.                  B. She allowed him to pay first.     C. She gave him encouragement.          D. She liked flowers very much. 59．What is the message conveyed in the story?     A. Flowers are important for a date.      B. Small talk is helpful.     C. Love and kindness are rewarding.     D. Elderly people deserve respecting. B      In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace ,if he brought good news. However ,if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news ,his head was cut off.     Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I pack up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing.  As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand ,a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said ,"Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain".  I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches not for his stupid weather report but for his smile!     Several months ago, I was racing to catch a bus.  As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter,  the sales agent said with a broad smile: "Oh that bus left five minutes ago'"  Dreams of head cutting     It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do  it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient she needs an operation does it in a caring way.  A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know when delivering any bad news they should share the feeling of the receiver.     Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this.You're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef , has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist fight on their unsympathetic faces.     Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that‘s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners , when they bear bad new ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have . 60.In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to        .    A. make a comparison      B. introduce a topic      C. describe a scene      D. offer an argument 61.In the writer's opinion, his neighbor was ____.    A. friendly        B. warm-hearted    C. not considerate     D. not helpful 62.From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer        .    A. was mad at the sales agent.    B. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh    C. wished that the sales agent would have had dreams.    D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night. 63. What is the main idea of the text?    A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.    B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.    C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.    D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful. C    Four people in England, back in 1953,stared at photo 51. it wasn’t much –a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really shows—the shape of DNA. The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out. Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden. “if her photo hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” one reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors.     At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick fried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at king’s college in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子).The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.     But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick. Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant. But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.     What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return. "Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place."     As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklins was only two steps away from the solution.”     No, Franklin was the solution. "She contributed more than any other players to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light. 64. What is the text mainly about?    A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.    B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.    C. The process of discovering DNA.    D The race between two teams of scientists. 65. Watson was angry with Franklin because she ______.    A. took the lead in the competition    B. Kept her results from him    C. proved some of his findings wrong    D. shared her data with other scientists 66.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?    A. She developed pictures in dark labs.    B. She discovered the black X------ the shape of DNA.    C. Her name was forgotten after her death.    D. Her contribution was unknown to the public 67. What is the writer’s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?    A. Disapproving     B. Respectful.    C. Admiring    D. Doubtful D We have met the enemy and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections （感染）we think of as human infections started in other animals “ says Stephen Morse director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University. It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us .Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isakson’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them “says Isakson “Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing “says Peter Schertz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases A new bug（病毒）may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful（有害的）Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease But is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person. 68．We learn from Paragraph I that the pet sold at the shop may_______. A．come from Columbia B．prevent us from being infected C．enjoy being with children D．suffer from monkey-pox 69．Why did Isakson advise people not to have foreign pets? A．They attack human beings B．We need to study native animals C．They can’t live out of the rain forest D．We do not know much about them yet 70．What does she phrase “the wake-up call” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．a new disease B．a clear warning C．a dangerous animal D．a morning call 71．The text suggests that in the future we . A. may have to fight against more new diseases B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs C. should not be allowed to have pets D. should stop buying pests from Africa E DESIGN — A — LOGO CONTEST We need a logo — a graphic (绘画的) image — that will be the perfect symbol of our great new Wellsville Skate Park .
