阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Year after year my brothers, sister and I would lie in bed awake on Christmas morning. We were just 36   to hear my father’s voice saying it was all right to    37   . Usually I was the first one jumped out of bed. I can still    38   my growing eagerness(渴望) for the    39   every year.
Even now as I    40   the boxes of Christmas decorations(装饰品) I can see the familiar ones: the presents with our birth years on them, our five stockings, four for the    41   , one for the dog. It used to be easy for us to    42   when to put up the decorations. But now since we all have    43   and social lives, it is usually a hurried activity.
As we get older, the season almost brings a    44   to a little place in our hearts. The worst was year after my grandparents had    45   . We couldn’t go to their house to celebrate the holiday anymore.    46   , we just had a get-together in my house. Now when I    47   to it, I miss the special    48   my grandfather gave me for Christmas. I even miss him    49   me “Jessie”, even though I can’t    50   when people call me that.
Things change, not always for the good,    51   not always for the bad either. And the things that don’t    52   have the most important meaning to us, and I am sure they will be there for the    53   of our lives. After all, every time I hear my father’s    54   “All right you guys, come on down, nice and slow” and we go down the stairs, first my brother, then me, then my sister, then my older brother, I still    55   the true Christmas spirit.

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of 'school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year.
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them “summer school” could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp,” “extra time” and “hands-on learning.”
小题1:According to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap ____

A．helps children to gain weight

B．leads children to work harder

C．improves children's memories

D．affects children's regular studies

小题2:Compared to traditional schools，students in the year-round ones _____

A．perform better and have more learning gains

B．have much less time for relaxation every year

C．have generally the same number of class days

D．hold more classes with more free weeks off

小题3:Which of the following statements is true?

A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation.

B．Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.

C．There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar．

D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.

A．They cherish the children's rights of freedom very much.

B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”．

C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.

Dear Betty,
　　My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.
　　Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Yours,
Knowing Nothing
Dear Knowing Nothing,
　　It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.
　　You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
　　Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.
　　If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.
Yours,
Betty

“Everybody loves a bargain.” One person’s useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person’s bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight---like tired guests at a party---waiting for someone to take them home.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(谈判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought.
小题1:What kind of things will go to a yard sale?

A．Cheap and ugly things.	B．Things people no longer use.
C．Things out of season.	D．Things of great value.

小题2:A white elephant refers to _________.

A．something that can cause a feeling of pain

B．something disliked by the owners while appreciated by others

C．something sold at the lowest prices

D．a toy shaped like a fish

小题3: Most people go to yard sales to________.

A．find valuable paintings	B．look for something special
C．find a bargain	D．kill their time

小题4: Which of the following is NOT true about a yard sale?

A．It may not be held when the weather is very cold.

B．It can last for a whole day.

C．It is usually held with a party.

D．It is held outdoors.

小题5:We can infer from the last paragraph that__________.

A．people may find something of great value on a yard sale

B．yard sales only attract those who have a low income

C．things on a yard sale can cost people a lot

D．most people don’t want to go to yard sales.

In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember throughout their lives. I had a similar experience, too.
I was very excited. It was the day of my last paper of the final examination. My mind was full of thoughts of how I would spend my vacation. I was especially excited of the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.
I was prepared for the subject, physics. My friends and I were on the ground doing the last minute revisions and also discussing the questions that were supposed to come in the paper. Suddenly the bell rang and we got into our classrooms. The teacher came and quickly handed out the answer paper and the question paper. The paper was of two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the answer paper before the allotted（规定的）time. the teacher was not collecting and I had to sit till the time was over. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go after the paper.
Though I was thinking for a long time, the time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the question paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. I had a quick glance at my watch. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I was hardly in a state to write anything. They were the sub-questions（小题）of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very much relieved.
Thereafter I never made such mistakes again. But I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.
小题1:Which of the following statements is true?

A．The writer didn’t work hard at physics.

B．The writer lost 20 marks for the last question.

C．The writer made some mistakes during the exam.

D．The questions on the paper were difficult for the writer.

小题2:The underlined word “relieved” means ________.

A．more nervous

B．less afraid

Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement, saying “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小题1:Which statement is true according to the article?

A．Whenever people tell the truth, they may lie

B．You cannot trust lottery agent.

C．All governors help their states.

D．The truth can be used in dishonest ways.

小题2:The author clearly wants people ___________.

A．to think carefully about what they read and hear

B．to vote for female candidates

C．not to believe advertisements of any kind

D．not to trust any politician

小题3:Governor Smith’s opponents wanted __________.

A．to make her a liar	B．to beat her in the campaign
C．to get jobs in the government	D．to detect her lie

Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs with arrows on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?

“I usually put my mobile phone in my bag, and I often feel like it is ringing when there actually is no phone call. Now I always want to keep it in my hand, being afraid that I might miss important calls or messages,” Miss Liu tells her doctor.
Miss Gu, a news worker, has to take her mobile phone with her all the time so as not to miss any calls from her office or readers. Gradually, she started to experience a great “panic” about her mobile phone. “Every night when I’m about to fall asleep, I often wake up with a start, feeling that my phone is ringing. Although I’m sure that I have turned it off, I still feel that it is ringing, clearly.”
The above phenomenon is what we call “mobile-phone acouasm (幻听)”. The mobile phone has now become a “new organ” in a white collar’s daily life, and “mobile-phone acouasm” has become a common phenomenon among office workers.
According to a report of China Youth Daily, “mobile-phone acouasm ” most likely results from people’s dependency on hi-tech products. It is associated with certain professions, such as salesmen, consultants and journalists. They use mobile phones almost continuously.
Constantly being in the “stand-by” mode, the strong psychological tension gives them acouasm. Meanwhile, a large number of this year’s graduates are joining the family of acouasm suffers due to the hard job-hunting experience.
“You know that the rings are not from your phone, but you always take it out and have a look. This is subconscious (潜意识) from your body sending you a signal, telling you that you must take a break to reduce your pressure,” Professor Sun Li from Huadong Normal University explains.
There are many ways to solve the problem. The professor says that the key is to deal with pressure from work. “This is just a kind of self-protection”; the most important thing is to find out the source of your pressure. And then take part in some activities that are not related to your work. You can do anything that can relax your body and mind.
小题1: According to the passage the phrase “mobile-phone acouasm” refers to .

A．people’s being addicted to mobile phones

B．people’s feeling the unreal phone rings

C．mobile phones’ going wrong frequently

D．mobile phones’ disturbing people constantly

小题2:How does “mobile-phone acouasm ” come about ?

A．Some mobile phones are in poor quality.

B．Some people develop the dependency on mobile phones.

C．Some people listen to the music on mobile phones too much.

D．Something is wrong with some people’s hearing.

小题3:What kind of people are more likely to suffer from “mobile-phone acouasm” ?

A．Those who use mobile phones too often.

B．Those who like mobile phones very much.

C．Those who lead a busy life.

D．Those who lead a free life.

小题4:What is the most important measure to deal with “mobile-phone acouasm ” ?

A．To buy a mobile phone of good quality.

B．To turn off your mobile phone.

C．To get rid of pressure from work.

D．To have your ears examined regularly.
