Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his 26 , and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with 27 . When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas 28 well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer aboutMark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines, 29 them on. The final event of the day was the 400- meter race. 30 was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the 31 length of the track.When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they 32 and turned to look behind themAt the 33 of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark.

For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack (霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But dont be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.41. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentencebefore he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his_.A. humorB. sympathy C. deep concernD. medical knowledge 42. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that in the real world_.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash dont happen at the same time43. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows. B. The person always turns off the TV when its time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.44. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens on TV is very different from reality.45. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _ attitude towards TV plays.A. positiveB. casualC. negativeD. indifferentBFathers day Sunset Live Music Dinner CruiseSunday, June 20th, 20106:30pm-8:30pmJoin us abroad the 95 Dana Pride for our special Fathers Day Dinner Cruise.

On September 14,2011, NASA released designs for a super rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS). This time the final destination will be Mars. The SLS is a huge, liquid fuelled rocket. If it is fully developed, it will be the most powerful rocket ever built. Its lift capability will be much bigger than that of the space shuttle of Saturn 5, the rocket that sent the Apollo missions to the moon.NASA is planning to launch its first unmanned test flight in 2017. It is hoped that the first crew will fly in 2021 and astronauts will make it to a nearby asteroid (小行星) in 2025. NASA hopes to send the rocket and astronauts to Mars from the asteroid by the 2030s, according to the Associated Press (AP). NASA used liquid rockets to send Apollo, Gemini and Mercury into space, but later changed to solid rockets boosters (助推火箭) because they were cheaper. Tragically, however, a booster flaw (缺陷) caused the space shuttle Challenger to crash in 1986. The new project plans to return to liquid fuel.According to AP, the rockets will at first be able to carry 77 to 110 tons of payload (净载重量). Eventually they will be able to carry 143 tons into space, maybe even as many as 165 tons, NASA officials said. By comparison, the Saturn 5 booster could lift 130 tons and the space shuttle just 27 tons.However, unlike reusable shuttles, these powerful rockets are mostly one use only. New ones have to be built for every launch. This will be very costly.NASA estimates that it will cost about $3 billion (19 billion yuan) per year, or $ 18 billion until the first test flight in 2017. NASA hopes to make money by allowing private companies to send astronauts to the International Space Station like giant taxi services, so that the program can be “sustainable”.“This is perhaps the biggest thing for space exploration in decades,” said Senator Bill Nelson, a f
