Each of the seven children in our family worked in our fathers store. _ 41 _ we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than _ 42_ and making a sale.One lesson stands out in my _ 43_ It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was_ 44_ a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me too poor to _ 45 _ to buy anything. He looked _ 46_ he toy section, picked up this item and _ 47_ , and carefully put them _ 48_ in their place.Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes_49_ and the dimple（酒窝）in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas _ 50_ to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his_ 51_ and look around. He did. After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy_ 52_, walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”“How much you got?” Dad asked.The little boy held out his hand and_ 53_ it. His hand was creased(起皱) with _ 54 _ lines of dirt from holding his _ 55_ too tightly. In his hand _ 56_ two dimes, a nickel and two pennies27 cents. The price on the toy plane hed picked out was $3.98.“Thatll just _ 57_ it,” Dad said as he _ 58 _ the sale. Dads reply still _ 59_ in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didnt notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace.

We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.61What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? AStaying on the farm. BMoving to the countryside. CLeaving home for the city. DRunning away from the school.62Which of the following is true about the writer? AHe is very old now. BHe is in good health. CHe prefers driving a car. DHe lives in the city now.63In the passage, the writer tries to _. Aexpress his opinions about way of life Bdescribe his life in the countryside Cshow an interest in the outside world Dpersuade the reader to live in the city64How is the passage mainly developed? ABy inferring. BBy comparing. CBy listing examples. DBy giving explanations.BEven though shes just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. Shes a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as shes told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sonys barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibos innovations(创新) one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breath into an inanimate(无生命的) object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindys case, its a multistep process. When presented a text like “I love you” and asked “Can you read this?” Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number- or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindys 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If its a match, “I love you,” she says.65This passage most likely appears in a _.Amedical report Bclassified ad Cscience journal Dmusic magazine66According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Robot Aibo?AIt could recognize shapes and colors. BIt could respond to spoken commands. CIt came onto the market no later than 1990.DIt was created much later than Cindy Smart.67The underlined “it” in the third paragraph most likely refers to _.Athe process Bthe object Cthe doll Dthe company68According to the passage, how can Cindy “see”?AShe recognizes any text as “I love you”.BShe is equipped with a camera to search for text.CShe is instructed by an engineer standing next to her.DShe makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach.CMajor cities around the world will fall into darkness for an hour in March 2008 to mark their commitment(承诺) to battling climate change, conservation group WWF said Friday.Toronto, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen and Chicago and many other cities in Asia, Europe and North America will switch off the lights on March 29 for the so-called Earth Hour, the group announced.James Leape, head of WWF International, praised the unique global event as a demonstration of the worlds commitment to fighting global warming.During Earth Hour, governments, businesses, community leaders and individuals will be turning out their lights and switching on their support for actions that can help make a difference in the most significant challenge facing the world today, Leape said in a statement.The announcement came as the worlds environment ministers and senior officials thrashed out the details on a new climate change road map in Bali, Indonesia as talks entered 11th-hour debates with key issues unresolved.While we expect the government leaders here in Bali to make brave decisions that are needed to save our planet, Earth Hour reminds us that each of us can be part of the solution to climate change, Leape said.Environmental officials from more than 180 countries have until the end of Friday to agree a framework for tackling(解决) global warming past 2012, when pledges under the climate change treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, was out of date.This will be the second Earth Hour organised by WWF, afte
