One night, when I was eight , my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 1me but needs me to work in Brazil.

二 、阅读理解
A
The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth? Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live? Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time?
The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do? It occupies kids’ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!
We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled? Picking up litter? Donating money to an environmental organization? None of these things are very hard. We can’t just always say, “Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.” Instead, we need to help out. It’s not only those big companies; it’s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!

B
When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.
One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.
I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.
In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.
25.The first paragraph serves as a（n） .
A．explanation B．comment C．definition D．introduction
26.In most US universities, .
A．college students are offered the co - op program
B．electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits

A． the author is a professor of a famous university
B． the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

D． the author pays special attention to the all - round development of college students

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

A. carrying a cupboard to the church B. sending flowers to the church

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here ’s how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.    
____36____ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’s okay to be the one to break
the ice , even if you’ve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making a small talk with the
folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say
hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college), whether they could use an extra
cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the prices at the local supermarket.
_37._____ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may
be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face
bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the
neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and shop. Invite them over for coffee or tea
when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
___38._______ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as
soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your
children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such
random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking — and the talk will be good.
_____39_____  If you value a friendly relationship with your neighbors spend time with them. What better way 
to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open
house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the
invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before
moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that
you can plan for appropriate food and music.
____40_______ In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail
for
