19.Every year on my birthday,from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house.No card came with it.Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all.After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be.Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender.My mother encouraged this imagining.She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness.Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill.As a girl,I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation,my father died.I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all.And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not.But my mother,in her own sadness,would not let me miss any of those things.She wanted he children to feel loved and lovable.In truth,my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely,strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.
My mother died ten days after I was married.I was 22.That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

51.Which statement is true according to the passage?C

C.She hoped she would find a friend.D.She wanted her to be happy and strong.
53.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?B
A.A Childhood Dream               B.A Mother's Love
C.A Graduation Party                D.A Special Birthday.

7.Height is just one of the thousands of features that your genes decide.In fact,because you have parents,your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent.If both your parents are tall,then most probably you will be tall,too.But if you have questions about how tall you're going to b e,ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
      But genes don't decide everything.For example,eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential.Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
      No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow.There's no perfect or right answer.Generally speaking,kids grow about two inches (six centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.(青春期).
      Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years.How you've been growing up to this point,and what other changes your body may be going through.
       Don't be scared if you have grown a lot in a very short time.Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty.The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys.But it can be earlier or later---between 7 and 9 and 15 for boys.
      You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

66.If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow,B.
A.you should have enough exercise.
B.you can ask doctors for help.
C.you can record your growth during puberty.

A.how much  sleep time we need.
B.why genes can't decide everything.
C.what healthy diet is.

A.2      B.4    C.6
69.Your height mainly depends on according to the passage.
A.genes           B.diet      C sleep                           
70.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.you may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

14.For most Chinese,it is not easy to say"I love you",even to our parents,no matter how muchwe love them.The Chinese prefer to put their love in heart rather than speak the words.Some of us may think it is not important to speak out their love.Only if our parents can feel our love and believe we love them,that is enough.
     Try to think about this question in another way.Do you want to hear your parents say they love you?If they say so,what will you feel?Won't you feel happy and very warm in heart?Sure you will.And your parents will feel the same if you tell them you love them.Parents never expect their children to do many things for them.They are so easy to be satisfied (满足的).Why not try to say"I love you"to them one day?It's not a really difficult thing.And you will see how surprised and happy they are!

8.If your home is like most others,you've probably got a recycling (回收) bin in your kitchen.Good for you.That's the first step to recycling.But there are other things that both parents and kids can do to make recycling work better.
First,what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house?What about in your bedroom?You've probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes.Bui it's a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper.Then when it goes full,you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen.You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there.
Before you throw an item into the recycling bin,stop and think if you can use that item again.Take plastic items with yoghurt,for example.After eating what's in them,you can clean them and store them in a cupboard,and later you can use them for storing another food item.You can do the same with the glass jars,too.You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbours.
If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin,it's very important to follow this method.If it has food or drink m it,you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin.It can't be recycled with food still in it.You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it.This saves time for the workers in the recycling center.Then they can use their time doing more important work.
The last thing to remember is-don't give up!Recycling is a whole life task and you mustn't just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits.You can also continue to find other ways to recycle.So make recycling your new habit,and get others involved as well!

88.Is it good for you to have a recycling bin in your kitchen?Yes,it is..
89.Where can you put a small recycling bin for any useless paper?I can put a small recycling bin in the bathroom..
90.What should you do before you throw an item into the recycling bin?Stop and think if I can use that item again..
91.Why must you clean the item before you put it in the recycling bin?Because it can't be recycled with food still in it and this saves time for the workers in the recycling center..
92.How long shall we have the habit of recycling?Recycling is a whole life task
93.What is the passage mainly about?Itis about why to keep a recycling bin ( at home )and ( some advice on ) how to make recycling work better at home..

9.Many of us don't pay attention to the importance of eye care.It's said that if you take care of your body,then you can be healthy.That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care.Natural eyecare should be put in a number one place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight(视力) like not enough food,gene (基因) and aging (年龄增长).Televisions,computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight.
If you happen to work in front of the computer,it is best to take a rest every once in a while.Something dirty can cause your eyes red and they will make you feel uncomfortable.It is bad for your eyes,too.If this happens,the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water.You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things.For example,sunglasses are not just fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays(紫外线).
Eating healthy foods will be good to your eyesight.Remember that vitamins (维生素) A,C
and E are good for eyes.Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins.And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight,too.If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food,his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.
All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes.Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight,too.In a word,eye care is very important,no matter how olda person is.

任务一:根据短文内容,用简洁的句子或短语完成下列表格.
SuggestionsHow to Protect Our Eyes
Suggestion 1★Take a rest every once in a while when working in front of the computer.

Suggestion 5★(63)you should do eye exercises.
