table.She told me that she couldnt type fast and then she was out of work.My shock and embarrassment（尴尬）at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 38 I understood the pressures on her.Sitting beside her on the sofa,I began very 39 to understand.“I guess we all have to 40 sometime,”Mother said quietly.I could 41 her pain and the tension（压力）of 42 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival.Suddenly,something inside me 43 .I reached out and put my arms around her.She broke then.She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed.I held her 45 and didnt try to talk.I knew I was doing what I should,what I could 46 it was enough.In that moment,feeling Mother s 47 with feelings,I understood for the first time her being so easy to 48 .She was still my mother,49 she was something 50 :a person like me,capable of fear and 51 and failure.I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions（场合）when I sought 52 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 53 .“It s a job I can do,though”she said simply.But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued.I had a very 54 feeling now

experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you ll have disagreements.And the result can be what you dont want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First,dont let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when youre wrong even if you ve been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third,see things from your friends point of view(观点).And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle(生活方式)change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).56.What would be the best title for the text?A.Easy Ways to Make Friends B.Ups and Downs in Friendship C.How to Mend a Troubled Friendship D.How to Take the Lead in Making Friends 57.The“wronged person”underlined in the text refers to a person _.A.who has been mistaken for another B.who has been blamed unfairly C.who has treated friends badly D.who has admitted his mistakes 58.According to the text a friendship can last long only if _.A.we have much in common B.we know our friends mistakes C.we treat our disagreements wisely D.we have know one another for long 59.What should we do if we follow the authors second suggestion?A.Stick to our own prints of view B.Avoid making mistakes C.Make an apology first D.Change our lifestyles B A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill.Dont laugh,it s true.Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health,doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu,a Senior 2 girl from Xichang,Sichuan Province,fainted(晕倒)in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices.Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma.It is because she is suffering from depression(抑郁症),caused by bad relations at home,doctors explained.“We dont get sick or stay well by ourselves,”says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US.Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems,in his recent research.The genes you get from your family may cause illness.If one of your parents has a heart attack,your risk of being affected may double.But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems.Diet,lifestyle and environment affect our health,too.Ferrer s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health.But just as individual(个别的)problems can have effects on others,a small improvement can have big benefits,Ferrer said.60.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A.Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B.Because her parents used to quarrel.C.Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.D.Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.61.According to Dr Ferrer,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.We get sick or stay well by ourselves.B.Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.C.Our health has nothing to do with diet,lifestyle and environment.D.Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.62.The underlined word“coma”in Paragraph2 probably means _.A.embarrassment B.faint C.tiredness D.sadness 63.The best title for this passage is _.A.Family relations.B.The reasons why we get sick.C.Happy family makes you healthy.D.A research about teenagers health.C There has never been a better time to fly Freedom Airlines.Are you planning a vacation this summer?You should,because now

Girl singing competition TV programme.My little daughter asked me what PK meant,but I had no idea,explained the puzzled father.To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online,it is impossible not to know this term.In such Internet games,PK is short for Player Kill,in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.In the case of the Super Girl singing competition,PK was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.Like this father,Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language,but they
