I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and 41 a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” 42 asked.
“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather surprised as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my 43 is Tony,” she said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 44 and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida?” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds 45 I didn’t recognize(认识) him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell, ”I said.
She walked back, began 46 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of 47 , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I 48 know him, ” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. Suddenly it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bad boy!” I could 49 believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’s so thin now. Not the big boy that I 50 from back in 1977.”

“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin hand. “I am so sorry for 53 that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know 54 to say to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was 55 . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously hurt in a task.

四、阅读理解（30分）
(A)
The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people's character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure (高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.
( )56.In the old times people might ask for help from a person with _____.
A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D pale ears
( )57. From the passage, we know _____ change shape as we get older.
A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth
( )58. We can guess Beethoven may have _____.
A. pale ears B. white ears C. small ears D. ears with a big inside hole
( )59. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher _____.
A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder
( )60. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. looking at a person in the right way B. ears and colours
C. the change of ears D. ears and characters

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I'm sure lots of children of your age will, say "Yes". Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of schools bags being too heavy for them.
"It's hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it's so heavy, "said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.
Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps(带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling(有滚轮的)bags.
But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.
But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight(重量).
Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10 % . But it is also important that older children don't stay with over 15 %, because their bodies are still growing. "Children are losing their balance(平衡) and falling down with their school bags, "he said.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.
One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!
( )66. From the passage we can know that .
A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags
B. children in other countries don't carry too heavy bags
C. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

C. they don't know how to go upstairs
D. their parents don't always go upstairs with them together
( )68. If a child carries a heavy school bag, .
