My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚间在家的时间). He’d say I was to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me 31 like a junior-high kid. He explained that while a curfew 32 sound like a restriction, it’s really about people looking out for one another.

The very next Friday after that pretty heated 33 , my dad and I had tickets to see our town’s professional football game. On that day he was 34 to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and 35 me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could 36 off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he’d be home, I understood that he was a little 37 . But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting 38 . We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he 39 me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously 40 the floor, another half hour passed. That’s when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to 41 the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to 42 . What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really 43 . I’d already called his cellphone about ten times, but no 44 .
I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.
Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said 45 , “Son, I’m so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I 46 to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I 47 my cellphone in the car, so I couldn’t call until now.”
I was so relieved to hear from my father and to 48 that he was safe that I actually cried. That was 49 I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It’s about knowing that someone you love is 50 . It was one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

“Thanks for coming Everett said, shaking hands with Mr. Hanson, the town councilor (议员).
“I’m curious about the ideas in your letter.” Mr. Hanson nodded toward the parking lot near where they stood. “Please tell me more.”
Everett took a deep breath. “Ever since the school closed two years ago, this area has become worse. But if we clean up the litter and repair the fence, it will be a great place for a skateboard park.” Mr. Hanson scanned the broken concrete, nodding. “The old school is being adapted to a community arts centre. This area could become a vital part of the neighbourhood again.”
“Here’s a picture of a skateboard park in another town. Look how busy it is.” Everett was relieved that the community representative seemed receptive to the idea. Mr. Hanson studied the photograph, and then asked, “If town council provides the money, how will you and your friends contribute?” Everett felt optimistic now. “We’ll help design and build the ramps(坡道). More experienced boarders could give lessons to raise money!” Everett’s voice was enthusiastic.
However, Mr. Hanson said, “We’ll still need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. They might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and….”
“The skateboard park would use only the back corner, which isn’t near any houses. Since young people already hang out here, why not give them something fun and physically active to do in their free time?” The lines over Mr. Hanson’s forehead unwrinkled (舒展), and Everett’s hopes rose again. “If everyone works together,” Everett thought, “maybe this idea will become reality.”
51.Where were Everett and Mr. Hanson talking?
A. In the city hall. B. Outside a park.
C. Near the parking lot. D. In the art centre.
52. Everett was trying to persuade Mr. Hanson to _____.
A. beautify the neighbourhood
B. provide money for a skateboard park
C. build an art centre for children
D. cut the area of the parking lot
53. How did Mr. Hanson finally feel about Everett’s suggestion?
A. Curious. B. Hopeful. C. Receptive. D. Enthusiastic

We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.
The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.
The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.
The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. No questions asked. Satisfaction guaranteed. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.

Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
  The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
  “I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.
58. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
A. The improvement of cooks’ status.
B. The influence of popular female chefs.
C. The change of female’s view on cooking.
D. The development of sexual equality campaign.
59. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?
A. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
B. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared
