There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours. The afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day each year for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in my yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the fields would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.Every day I drove past the flowers, thinking, Ill stop on my way home and dig them. Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a tool one year for that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had cleared up the fields and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring. A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a cancer. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, Im sure Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.46. How long might the blue flower bloom in spring? A. About two weeks. B. The whole season. C. About one week. D. The whole day.47. Where did the writer want to transplant the flowers? A. Across the fields. B. Along the highway. C. In the garden. D. Outside the yard.48. Which of the following is NOT true about the writers sister-in-law? A. She is seriously ill. B. She is twenty years old. C. She lives far away from the writer. D. She is not in close touch with the writer.49. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Value now and dont lose chances. B. Visit our relatives only after they get ill. C. Refresh our wonderful moments every year. D. Plant flowers and dont enjoy them in the field.B The necktie looks set to follow the top hat in being handed over to the fashion museum by office workers within the next 50 years, according to research. Nearly three quarters (74%) think the tie will not survive within British firms beyond the next half a century with the popularity of the open-collared shirt. Its demise is being blamed on the boom in creative businesses, such as Facebook and Google, and online trading companies where formal dress codes tend to be avoided in favour of a more casual approach. Once considered an important part of business dress, the tie has become a victim of the spread of casual Fridays into other weekdays, according to researchers. The poll, by Deal Jungle. com, which helps small and medium enterprises, found more than half (51% ) thought the tie would die out in offices within the next 20 years and almost a quarter (22%) believed it would last less than 10 years.A spokesman for the site, which has 20, 000 registered members, said: Ties have been around seemingly forever but increasing numbers of office workers are telling them to get away. The success of businesses such as Facebook and Google, where even the CEO turns up wearing jeans and a hoodie, also seems to have had a corrosive (侵蚀性) effect on the idea of dressing formally for work. Many of our members keep their expenses to a minimum by working from home so they feel no need to dress up to go to work. We know that when they meet with clients, they still put on a business suit, but a tie is no longer seen as an essential part of the suited-and-booted look. Instead, many businessmen and increasing numbers of executives choose a suit and shirt with an open collar. The tie-less suit creates an impression of a more approachable deal maker, someone who is still business-minded, yet creative and technology-sensible, too. 50. Why are ties expected to disappear in offices? A. CEOs in creative businesses set a rule to forbid wearing ties. B. The idea of casual weekdays is increasingly accepted. C. Office workers are tired of wearing ties daily. D. The tie-less look appears more modern.51. According to the spokesman, how are their members dressed before clients? A. Business suits and casual jeans. B. Formal suits and a shirt with a tie. C. Casual suits and buttoned-up shirt. D. Business suits and an open-collared shirt.52. What kind of image does the tie-less suit create? A. Accessible in business. B. Professional in fashion. C. Casual in working. D. Creative in dressing.53. What does the underlined word demise mean in Para.2? A. popularity B. survival C. disappearance D. developmentC The British are being encouraged to holiday at home as a major tourism drive offering Olympic themed discounts is launched next week. A new campaign offering 20. 12% discounted bills at participating venues (场所) will be announced publicly for the first time by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Wednesday to encourage staycations. The scheme includes hotel accommodation, meals, guided tours and entry to attractions, with discounts funded by the industry. Government officials said more than three million hotel rooms were already lined up under the project, which is being backed by a range of companies, including Butlins. Attractions, such as the London Eye and Alton Towers, are also taking part. Reduced prices will also be offered on stays on the Royal yacht Britannia, now harboring in Leith, Edinburgh, and visits to Chatsworth, the historic house in Derbyshire. Tourists will be able to take advantage of the discount by using a dedicated website before the end of the Paralympics on September 9 to make bookings for this year and 2013. Mr. Hunt said, With the Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic Games, this year is the perfect opportunity for more of us to holiday in the UK Mr. Hunt has travelled the UK, urging companies to take part in the scheme, telling them, Its now or never for London tourism. We will never have a year like 2012 to show the world that this is, quite simply, the most exciting, vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the planet. The unavoidable complaints in the run up to an Olympics must not cloud the scale of the opportunity including our biggest ever tourism marketing campaign to make sure we get a lasting benefit from being in the global spotlight. The scheme will be promoted by a 3 million television advertising campaign the first of its kind in the UK. The government hopes the Holidays at Home are Great campaign launched by VisitEngland will create 12, 000 jobs, create 5.3 million extra short overnight breaks, and generate 480 million in extra spen
