A
Every day people often saw a boy sing in a park. In fact, they didn’t know the fact that this boy had cancer for a long time and he had no more time left. He looked very optimistic and he didn’t feel self-contemptuous（自卑的）at all. 　　
One day, he was wandering in the park. Suddenly a good smell flew over and it attracted him to come under a peach. To his joy, he saw a girl dancing pleasingly.　　
“You are great! You look like a dancing butterfly!” watching her for a long time, then he said.　
“Thank you!” this girl looked up and said shyly.　　
“Are you blind?” said the boy amazedly. 　　
The girl made no reply, but she nodded hard. 　　
“Sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you!” said the boy in a hurry. 　　
“Never mind!” the girl seemed to be easy. 　　
They knew each other in this way. 　　
From then on, they often met each other. And while the boy was singing, the girl danced for him.
Time passed quickly! Many days passed before they knew it. 　
“Look! How beautiful the peach blossoms are! They are just like you!”said the boy unconsciously（无意地）.
“But I can’t see.” the girl lowered her head. 　　
“I’m sorry!” the boy couldn’t help regretting. He felt his heart bitten hard by a snake, “How foolish I am! How can I say such words before her?” His heart was soon covered by an inexplicable idea. 　　
Several days later, the girl told the boy happily that her eyes would be cured quickly because someone was willing to contribute his cornea（角膜）to her. Hearing the girl’s words, the boy also smiled happily.　
That day, darkness seemed to come earlier than ever. The boy said many words to the girl: “I had never believed there was forever in the world. But I know I am mistaken! There is forever indeed — friendship. Now I have to go and I am afraid that we can’t meet each other again, either. I will treasure our friendship up in my memory!” 　　
Hearing the boy’s words, the girl couldn’t help crying. Then the boy sang again while the girl danced. 　　
Later the boy went quietly, but he was regretless, because he gave the last song in his life to the girl. 　　
Soon the girl’s operation succeeded, she saw everything and knew the truth, too. To people’s surprise, the peach didn’t blossom that year. 　　
When the girl came to the appointed place with tears, she seemed to see the boy singing and walking to her in the setting sun.

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X — or Nibiru — heads toward or collides with the Earth.
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.
There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， NASA said.
“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.
“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.

49．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.
A. A new book B. The Internet and a new Hollywood movie
C. NASA D. An Indian calendar
50．The film 2012 is________.
A. about the end of the world B. based on the scientific prediction
C. well accepted in the science field D. about a romantic love story
51．We can infer that________.
A. people didn’t tak
