Id been living in my Los Angeles apartment for over four years when my parents camefor a six -month visit from China.

When their stay with us ended, I felt free, though Iwas 37 for environmental education in fact.By the time my daughter began school, I was expected to raise money for the school. I feltheavy pressure(压力). How could I work out the problem? Thats when it 38 me: howabout uniting(结合) the two-environmental education and raising money ? I joined an organizationcalled LACES.

It came to Britain sixhundred years ago and soon became very fashionable. In those days it was called “real tennis” andit was played indoorsBaseball, the national sport of the US, comes from an old English game called “rounders”.Rounders is a very simple game which children in England still play today, but the Americangame is more complex(复杂的)and takes more time to play.Over six hundred years ago, people in England often played bowls indoors when it wasraining. The games they used were smaller than the ones outsides because there was less apace. Tomake the game more difficult, holes were out in the green and players started to use sticks to hitthe balls. Finally, someone had the good idea of raising the whole green onto a tableand thatshow the game of billiards started.47. When did tennis come to Britain?A. 800 years ago.

Tennis. B. Billiard. C. Volleyball. D. Baseball. BGuide dogs are an accepted part of everyday life,but what about guide horses ?There are reallysuch useful animals , at least in the US.The animals are miniature horses,no more than 86cm high at the shoulders ,like big toys. Theyare well trained,just as guide dogs are (including house training).They go on publictransport ,including planes ,with their owners and into buildingif necessary wearing speciallymade shoes to avoid falling down on floorsbut they sleep outside .They might be chosen inpreference to a guide dog because the owner is afraid of dogs or wants an animal that will livelonger.According to Michigan student Mona Ramouni, its not right to have a dog inside the house forsome religious reasons, Ramouni, who is blind ,says her guide horse Cali has changed her wholeworld.“She has made it possible for me to do anything I want to do.”49.

CYoure buying a used car , moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treatyour illness. These are times when you need to get directly to the core( 核心)of an importantmatter.Asking general questions gets little valuable information and may even result in unrealanswers, says Julia Minson, a visiting scholar in decision sciences at the University ofPennsylvania in the US. The best way, says Minson, is to ask a lot of questions that discover thereare problems.Lets say someone is selling a used iPod. An example of a general question is “What canyoutell me about it?”A positive-assumption (正面推测) question is “There arent any problemswith it,right?” But a negative-assumption question, such as “What problems have you had withit?” will get the most honest answer, found Minson and her team.In a study, 87% of the sellers warned the buyers to problems when asked anegative-assumption question, while 59% of those did the same thing to a positive-assumptionone.When you want the truth , you have to ask for it. What problems does this car have? What arethe worst parts of this job? How many people with my kind of illness have been successfullytreated? Your questions should communicate that you are sure there will be difficulties and thatyou want to know about them.53. What can we do if we want the truth, according to the passage?A. Ask for it ourselves. B. Talk with honest people.C. Study it ourselves. D. Do some experiments.54. What kind of questions has the best result ?A. General questions. B. Positive-assumption questions.C. Careful questions. D. Negative-assumption questions.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Find Honest People B. How to Talk with OthersC. How to Get an Honest Answer D. How to Avoid Being Cheated DResearchers have recently discovered how to make families work more successfully. A surprising idea has appeared: the single most important thing you can do for your family, it seems,is to develop a family story.I first heard this idea in the mid-1990s from Marshall Duke, a professor at Emory University.Duke was studying stories in families when his wife, a childrens learning specialist,made adiscovery:”The students who know a lot about their families will do better when they facechallenges(挑战),”Sara said.Instead, Duke set out to test her conclusion. He and Emory workmate RebynFivush developeda method called the “Do you know?”degree that asked children to answer 20 questions such as:Doyou know where your grandparents grew up?Do you know where your mum and dad went to highschool?Do you know about an illness or something really terrible that happened in your family?Duke and Fivush asked those questions to members of four dozen families in 2001.They thencompared the childrens result with a group of psychological( 心理学) tests the children hadtaken and reached a conclusion that agreed to Saras theory. The more children knew about theirfamilies histories, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-respect,and the more successfully they believed their families worked from generation to generation(代代传承).“We were blown away,” Duke said. The researchers mentioned the children after the terribleevents of September 11,2001.“Once again ,” Duke said, “the ones who knew more about theirfamilies proved to be stronger.”Why does knowing where her grandmother went to school help a child overcome somethingterrible and difficult? Duke said that children who have the most self-confidence have what hecalls “a strong intergenerational self”. They know that they come from something bigger thanthemselves.Duke suggested that parents do the same activities with their children again and again. Anykind of activities work to teach the sense of history: holidays, vacations, big family get-togethers,even a drive to the shop. “These traditions become part of your family,” Duke said.Years of research have showed that most happy families also communicate successfully, butits not simply a matter of talking through problems. Talking also means telling a positive storyabout yourselves. When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a newchapter( 章) to their life story that shows them overcoming the difficulty. This skill is veryimportant for children when they are growing up.The bottom lines: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of yourfamilys best moments and your relations ability to overcome difficulty. That act alone mayprove the fact that your family will thrive(兴旺) for many generations to come.56.What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Happy children are usually brought up in happy families.B. Our family is the most important place to teach children.C. There are many things for the young to learn from the old.D. Family history plays an important part when children grow up.57.What can the “Do you know?” degree tell us?A. What relation in ones family is.B. What story ones family has had.C. How much one knows his family.D. How much one loves his family.58.The underlined sentence “We were blown away” in the passage may mean “_”.A. We were surprised very muchB. We were deeply movedC. We were punished seriouslyD. We were completely lost59. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. The event of September 11,2001 helped Duke draw his conclusion.B. Duke thinks that a strong intergenerational self is the most important.C. Duke and Saras research work led us to an unexpected conclusion.D. According to Duke, positive talks will add new chapters to ones life.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8 分，每小题2 分）Mark was going home after school one day.

Translation is a verydifficult exercise. During a conversation, we dont really have time to translate when weunderstand. When we use translation, we dont develop the necessary reflexes(反应能力) neededto speak and understand a foreign language.It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later whenyour skills are good enough to take a conversation.Then how do you build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar? Can itbe done? Of course!
