Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom. The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids. Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, herhair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age. I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions. But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, "What are you doing, my dear?" She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the waythey like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me asmuch?" I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better. Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.43. The underlined expression ' make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means _. A. show much concern about B. have a special effect on C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for44.

A. the guest gave her more coats to carry B. she didn't look as pretty as Kelly C. the guests praised her sister more than her D. her mother didn't introduce her to the guests46. We can conclude from the passage that _. A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt C. people usually like the younger children moreD adults should treat children equally C He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912，his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.第4页 共6页 But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years." Adapted from People, November 25, 200247. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his_. A. mother B. parents C. aunt D. relatives48.
