He returned home at 5:30 pm, for dinner at 6:00 pm. I never remember my father having a night out with his children. All he asked from me as a daughter was to hold his hammer while he repaired something, just so we could have some time to talk to each other.For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. Nine years ago, my father, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house. He asked me to hold the paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush, or talk to my father.Five years ago, my father spent five hours making a swing（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked me to do was to give him a glass of tea, and talk to him. But again, I had some clothes to wash, and the house to clean.On January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sisters home in Florida. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 pm. That day, my father was in hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way, I made up my mind that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him.I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.51. When the author was young, her father _.A. was busy with his work B. disliked his children C. often talked to his children D. never cared about his children52. How old was the authors father when he made a swing for his granddaughter?A. 45. B. 67. C. 71. D. 76.53. When painting the house, the father asked the author to hold a paint brush because _.A. he wanted to make his work easyB. he was too old to work all by himselfC. he just wanted his daughter to help himD. he wanted to have a talk with his daughter54. The underlined phrase “passed away” in the last paragraph probably means “_”.A. arrived B. lost C. left D. diedBRemembering names is an important social skillHere are some ways to master itRecite and repeat in conversationWhen you hear a persons name，repeat itImmediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lipsYou could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial来源:Ask the other person to recite and repeatYou can let other people help you remember their namesAfter youve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for youMost people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their namesAdmit you dont knowAdmitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxedMost of them will feel sympathy if you say，“Im working to remember names betterYours is right on the tip of my tongueWhat is it again?”Use associationsLink each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusualFor example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair.” To reinforce（加强）your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others - an automatic review for you.55. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? _A. They will be angry. B. They will be guiltyC. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.56. If you cant remember someones name, you may _.A.telephone others to help youB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for another name cardD. tell him the truth CWe were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.Look down, Elsa, Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. See, my dear, Father said gently. There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.来源:.ComNow I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, The cook must have gone mad! Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldnt stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal, Fathers wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.58.

Onethird of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets. This move will help Hawaii meet its goal of reducing fossil fuel use by 70 percent by 2030.Better Place, a Palo Alto, California-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars. The company will purchase renewable energy - such as wind power - from Hawaiian Electric Co.Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles (车辆) coming in and out. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets. Hawaii also has rich renewable energy resources, including wind, solar and wave power. This is important because Better Place wont use oil. Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaiis wind farms. That
