He was unable to work a steady job. He would be fine for a while, but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local childrens hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them. One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldnt do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didnt use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the childrens hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, but this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.” My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture loved every single child in that hospital.48. The authors father worked at the local hospital to _.A. ease his heart condition B. keep himself occupied and happy C. earn money to pay for treatment D. realize his childhood dream49.

A. its better to give than to receive B. volunteering is a worthwhile thing to doC. love can sometimes bring great results D. a sick person should not focus on his diseaseBIt is easy for us to tell who our family members are, but do plants recognize their own family? Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings (同属) or strangers. When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds normally grow in the shade, where sunlight is scarce.When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists observed that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots. Dudley says this behavior makes sense because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water so when theyre threatened, they compete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to compete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.52. When the McMaster University scientists experimented with Jewelweeds, they _.A. planted Jewelweeds alone B. separated jewelweeds from their siblingsC. planted Jewelweeds in an unusual environmentD. grew jewelweeds together with either family or strangers 53. Which of the following shows that Jewelweeds compete with others?A. Jewelweeds grow extra leaves.B. Jewelweeds grow more branches as well as extra leaves.C. Jewelweeds grow more branches rather than more leaves.D. Jewelweeds grow taller than usual. 54. The underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 3 means _. A. dark B. not enough C. not available D. mild55. From the text, we can conclude that the Great Lakes sea rockets _.A. prove the same point as Jewelweeds B. compete with strangers for sunlightC. cannot recognize their siblings D. grow more leaves when planted with strangers56. What is the article mainly about?A. New discoveries about plants. B. How plants compete with each other.C. Family recognition among plants. D. Jewelweeds and the Great Lakes sea rockets.CKFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut These fast food restaurants constantly remind us of the American fondness with hamburgers, chips and pizza. But Americas reputation as the home of fast food is under threat from the British, according to research carried out by the BBC in 13 nations among 9,000 people. Though they are afraid of putting on weight, the study found the British are more interested in junk food than any other nation. Almost half of British respondents (参与调查者) said they enjoyed fast food too much to give it up. About 44 percent in the US claimed they would be unable to stop eating burgers, pizzas and chicken wings, making the country second in the worlds junk food league. The third place went to the United Arab Emirates, where 35 percent are junk-food lovers. The research also found that attitudes to food and weight vary wildly around the world. Those in the UK and US believed lack of self-discipline (自律) was the main factor behind growing waistlines. They cant deny themselves hamburger or extra piece of pizza, but “make themselves feel better by washing it down with a diet coke”, the study suggested.The French, on the other hand, seem to keep a watchful eye on their weight. They get on the scales every day. Only 19 percent of the French surveyed admitted a fondness for fast food. It is said that the French valued the combination of good food and company. Sharing classic food and time with loved ones is the key to the French sensibility. “French people take care of their image as a matter of course. Being thin is part of our culture and a point of pride. We are known for it,” said Thierry Pailleux. 57. Which of the following shows the correct percentage of people in t
