I heard Mom ordering a cake from the bakery over the phone. "Don' t put any icing on it, “ she said, “Just a plain angel cake. ” Angel cake with fresh strawberries was her favorite. So Mum was ready.That afternoon when Dad came home, he showed me the phone he had bought for Grandma. “It has speed-dialing, “ he said. "She won' t have to push so many buttons when she calls the doctor' s office or her sister. " Dad looked pleased. "Her fingers are so stiff with joint disease that the phone seems a good idea. ”But what about me? Here I was with only one dollar in my pocket and one night to think of a gift. Even though Mom always insisted that “it' s the thought that counts, “ I had a big problem. My mind was even more empty of ideas than my wallet was empty of money.When I have a problem, it sometimes helps to shoot a few baskets in the driveway. Dribble, shoot, rebound.For a while I just played without even trying to think. I began to remember back beforeGranddad died, when we used to visit them in Kentucky, Granddad showed me how to do a jump shot. Thinking about Granddad made me sigh. Grandma' s life was a lot happier when he was alive.Swish! I' d made two in a row.Suddenly, I remembered a green glass dish in the shape of a leaf that Grandma used to keep on a table back in Kentucky. It was always full of those red-and-white-striped peppermint candies. I hadn' t thought of that dish for a long time. Maybe it was lost or broken when Dad rented the truck and brought Grandma and the belongings to Ohio.Just thinking about that candy dish made me taste the peppermint slowly dissolving on my tongue. I could almost hear Grandma saying, “Help yourself to a piece of peppermint, Burt. " That voice had a smile behind it. It was a voice I hadn' t heard for a long time.Aha! I took one last shot, then dribbled to the back door, ran up the steps two at a time, and grabbed my wallet.36. What do you know about the authors grandma?A. She has difficulty moving fingers. B. She loves high-tech products.C. She doesn, t like a plain cake. D. She has a sweet tooth.37. What does the underlined word “dissolving” mean in the last paragraph but one?A. Melting. B. Chewing.C.38. What would the writer probably buy inA. Something decorative for candies.C. Something convenient to use. D.39. What is the best title of the text?Swallowing. D. Fading.the end?B. Something bringing good memories. Something to Grandma, s taste.A. The Good Old DaysB. The Gift of GratitudeC. The Thought That CountsD. The Inspiration from BasketballBOnce there was a circle that was missing a piece. A large tri angular wedge（三角形 楔子）had been cut out of it. The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete, it could roll only very slowly. As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It took the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.The lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn（渴望），to hope, to nourish（滋养）his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loveshim give him something he has always wanted and never had. There is a wholeness about the person who has coee to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only long for. That, I believe, is what God asks of us not “Be perfect” , not “Don' t ever make a mi staken , but “Be wholev . And in the end, if we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to rejoice in another? s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.40 According to paragraph 1, the circle gives up the missing piece, because.A. it is not the perfect fit for the circle B. it is different from the circle' s wishC. it stops the circle from enjoying life D. it slows down the speed of the circle41. According to the author, why is the man who has everything in some ways a poor man?A.B.C.D.BecauseBecauseBecauseBecausethisthisthisthismanmanmanmanhasn' t found his missing piece, could no longer nourish his soul, never has someone who loves him. has nothing left for him to live for.42. The phraseacome to terms with” in paragraph 2 is probably closest in meaning toA. abandonB. acceptC. adjustD. assess43. According to the passage, the wholeness of life is .A. an attitude to accept and live with the imperfect selvesB. a kind of care for all the people around as well as ourselvesC. the ability to avoid making any kind of mistake in our livesD. the appreciation of nature, like flowers, worms, sunshineCBees are unimaginably territorial, fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings （螫刺）.But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1, 000 people.Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins that一in the aggressive bees一quickly break into pieces to form a so-called“neuropeptide（神经肽）” ,they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. "We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds, “ Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became agg
