I simply wondered at his ability to do what he did: keeping the kitchen full of food, covering the car insurance so I could drive during my senior year, piling the Christmas gifts beneath the tree, driving me to visit college campuses on his day off, kissing and teasing my mother in the living room and nodding off in his easy chair in the middle of a sentence. Perhaps it was because these scene seemed so ordinary that I never spoke of them.And then at college, away from himwhen his presence became merely the voice over the phone during weekend callsI started to think that other men were more significant than Daddy. Daddy couldnt teach classes or explain complex philosophies not with only a high school education.As I reached my late 20s, I looked forward to returning home and hearing his warm, fulfilling laughter. I rediscovered Daddy again not as a boy in awe(敬畏), but as a man with respect. And I realized that Daddy had always been there for me. He was my father, a man who committed himself to a thankless job in a society that had written him off with statistics and stereotypes(成见).When I reached my early 30s, I became a father myself. I saw my own father with greater clarity. As I worked overtime for my son, I realized I was able to do those things because my father had done for me.Now, at age 47, when I spend precious moments with my own 13-year-oldson, I wonder what he thinks of me. At what point will I slip away from his world of important men, and will there be a point when hell return to me with a nod of understanding? Will he claim me in the name of love and respect?Sometimes the most essential truths are the most difficult to learn. I hope my son will one day cherish all the truths that have flowed to him, through me, from his grandfather. When my son does this, perhaps he will feel the same pride and fulfillment that I do when I say: “I am my fathers son.”21.Whenhesawwhathisfatherdidforhimwhenhewasyoung,theauthor_.A.thoughtitwasjustafathersdutytodothosethingsB.admiredhisfatherforhisabilitytodothosethingsC.wantedtotellhisfatherhowgratefulhewastohimD.wishedhecouldhavehelpedhisfather22.Whentheauthorwasincollege,_.A.healwaysmissedthedaysheusedtospendwithhisfatherB.hegraduallycametounderstandhisfatherC.herealizedhisfatherwasalwaysthereforhimD.heworshipedhisteachersmorethanhisfather23.Inhislate20s,theauthor_.A.lookeduptohisfatherinaweB.wantedtokeephisdistancefromhisfatherC.begantocherishhistimewithhisfatherD.wasdispleasedwiththejobhisfathertookup24.Whatdoestheunderlinedpart“themostessentialtruths”inthelastparagraphrefer to?A.Loveandunderstanding.B.Secretsofbeingsuccessfulinonesjob.C.Waystonotbeaffectedbystereotypes.D.Knowledgeofhowtogetalongwithonesfather.BMiamiMuseumofScienceTicket price includes entrance to all museum galleries, planetarium(天文馆) shows, and the wildlife center.Regular Admission Prices Adults: $14.95Seniors(62+): $10.95Students(w/ID): $10.95Children(3-12): $10.95Children(2andunder):FreeHoursOpen:Dailyfrom10amto6pm(boxofficeclosesat5:30pm)Closed:ThanksgivingandChristmasDayCurrentExhibitsUndertheSea!Now on view through August are 26 award-winning photographs from the University of Miamis Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Annual Underwater Photography Contest.

But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of a friendship agreement called The Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and a love-hate partnership.But their relationship has seen ups and downs over the past century. Just a few years ago, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort was expressed in Blair and Chiracs body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greeted Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just received a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.Thehistoryofdivisionsmaywellbebecauseoftheverydifferentwaysinwhichthetwo sides see the world. But this doesnt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year, despite only 3 million French going in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike Frances close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britains close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of a “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Heres one: Whats the best thing about Britains relationship with France? The English Channel.28.Whatisthearticlemainlyabout?A.

You wish you could just turn your brain off as if it were a light. That would make things much easier, wouldnt it?Nowitlookslikeyouareonestepcloserto this wild dream of yours scientists from Oxford University, UK have just discovered the “switch” that tells the brain to go to sleep, reported Forbes.To understand the study, you first need to know that there are two mechanisms(机能) that regulate sleep. Theres one that were already familiar with ourbodyclock, which works in a 24-hourcycle based on the light changes throughout the day.Theotheroneiswhatscientistscallthesleep“homeostat(动态平衡系统)”.This mechanism has nothing to do with daylight. Instead, it keeps track of the brains waking hours and urges it to rest if it has been awake for a long time. “Itissimilartothethermostat(自动调温器)in your home. A thermostat measures temperature and switches on the heating if its too cold,” Professor Gero Miesenbck, who led the study, told The Telegraph. Our bodies use both of the mechanisms to regulate sleep. “The body clock says its the right time, and the sleepthermostat has built up pressure during a long waking day,” explained Miesenbck.There is no way that scientists can trick the body clock. But with the sleep homeostat, there might be something they can do.Theresearchersfoundthatthesleephomeostatworksbyactivatingaspecificgroup of nerve cells, or neurons(神经元), in the brain. They tested their theory on fruit flies by removing the neurons from the insects brains. And as expected, they found that the flies without the homeostat neurons did not keep a regular sleep pattern anymore.Now that scientists have pinpointed (定位)the exact place in the brainor, the “switch” that regulates sleep, they can begin investigating (争辩)howtoactivatethesecellsatany given time so that peoplecanbesenttosleepinstantly.More importantly, finding out how sleep mechanisms work may also help us to one day unravel one of the oldest mysteriesofall:whydoweneedtosleepinthefirstplace?32.

The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags, lock up the house, and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel. However, hotels are very expensive, and with rent or housing loan（贷款）due every month, its difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay. 36 Luckily, there is a substitute called house swapping, and its saving tourists a g
