As the bus came near the Mile, a 30 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 31 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 32down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 33 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 34 every day. We waited for the next 35 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 36. For many of us, this was the 37 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 38 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 39. There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 40. To say the three words was not so 41 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 42_. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 43 sound I had never heard before in this bus.

Part three :阅读理解
A 篇
LONDON (Reuters Life!) ---- Forget about talking your children into considering life as a doctor or a teacher and start training them for the talent show.
A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (志向) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.
Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.
The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.
The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of today’s young people when compared with their parents’ dreams 25 years or more ago.
Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys’ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.
When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today’s parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.
Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.
Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.
46. From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.
A. jobs such as musicians, singers and dancers
B. jobs related to academic professions like lawyers and doctors
C. jobs in which they will not be endangered
D. jobs which will be well paid only
47. The first paragraph is to advise parents to ______.
A. change their children’s dreams B. correct their children’s dreams
C. follow their children’s dreams D. forget their children’s dreams
48. According to the survey for British TV channel “Watch”, which of the following is the boys’ best career choice?
A. A pop star B. An actor C. A doctor D. A firefighter
49. What can be learnt from the passage?
A. Parents’ hope for their children’s career did not change too much.
B. Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.
C. Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn’t follow their dreams.
D. Most parents didn’t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.

B篇
About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.
Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother’s eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(给…做框) and hung in my office.
Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.
I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.
To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.
51. What made Audrey different from others was that she_______.
A. could draw and paint beautifullly
B. was good at math and chemistry
C. got two degrees in two different fields
D. was a student in a key university
52. How did the author regain the painting?
A. She found it from one office.
B. One of her former colleagues found it.
C. She found it in a storage room.
D. Audrey found it for her.
53. What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?
A.The author’s feeling.
B. Audrey’s family.
C. Audrey’s experience.
D. The author’s experience.
54. Why does the author value the painting so much?
A. It was painted by her most talented student.
B. The painting can be worth a lot of money.
C. The art value of the painting is immeasurable(无法估计的).
D. The painting encourages her to advance(前进).
