son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall,handsome,successful man devoted to his work and family,but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him;as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as“successful”as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit,we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor caf.We walked along that afternoon,did some shopping,ate on the street table,and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions.Gone was my fathers critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father,who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,Im at last seeing another side of my father.And in so doing,Im delighted with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he was.56.Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?A.He was silent most of the time.B.He was too proud of himself.C.He did not love his children.D.He expected too

the authors father D.the caf owner B More than 10 years ago,it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple.The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and,more often than not,hard with an unpleasant taste within.Then in 1996,the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green.It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside.But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known.In no time,the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm,rapidly becoming the worlds best-selling pineapple variety,and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth,up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition(营养)it was all good news too.This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C)than the old green variety.Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins,but also good against some diseases.People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit.The new type of pineapple was selling fast,and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple,Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself.But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples.Del Monte turned to law for help,but failed.Those companies argued successfully that Del Montes attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.60.We learn

inside 61.Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?A.It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B.It was less sweet and good for health.C.It was developed by Del Monte.D.It was used as medicine.62.The underlined word“fixture”in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _.A.that people enjoy eating B.that is always present CV.that is difficult to get D.that people use as a gift 63.We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _.A.allowed other companies to develop pineapples B.succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself C.tried hard to control the pineapple market D.planned to help the other companies C Dos and Donts in Whale(鲸鲸)Watching The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait,where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer.It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只)operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.Approach whales from the side,not from the front or the back.Approach no closer than 100 metres,then stop the boat but keep the engine on.Keep noise levels down no horns,whistles or racing of engines.Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.Leave the area slowly,gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.Approach and leave slowly,avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.When whales are traveling close to shore,avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot,be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.Work together by communicating with other vessels,and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.64.For whom is this text written?A.Tour guides.B.Whale watchers.C.Vessel operators.D.Government officials.65.When leaving the observation areas,the vessel should _.A.move

metres.C.200 metres.D.100 metres.D Holidays Holiday News Vacancies(空位)now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon.This comfortable,friendly home-from-home lies near the beautiful quiet
