6.When I saw my 10-year-old avoiding the dirty plate in the sink or my 8-year-old feeling uncomfortable about the wet sand in her hands,I'm reminded of a time when I was unwilling to get my hands a little dirty.
    My parents owned a 500-acre farm in Montana to raise animals,such as cows,sheep,horses and so on.It was during the time of new life (a newborn lamb or a calf) that my favorite childhood memory took place.One exceptionally cold day,I was checking on the sheep with my mother when she spied a ewe (母羊) in trouble.The poor thing was trying to deliver her baby lamb and needed our help.My mother calmly held the ewe's head and instructed me to grab hold of the two protruding(突出)legs.
    I hesitated,and must have had quite a look of panic on my young face.The slimy little things were definitely not something I wanted to touch.But I worked up my courage and wrapped my fingers around them.I can still recall the feel of unexpectedly weak legs and their sharp little hooves as if it happened yesterday.
    My heart pounded in fear and excitement as I pulled with all my strength.The lamb was delivered safely,and I'd never seen anything so beautiful.
    I was no stranger to seeing farm animals being born,but to have a hand in it was something I treasured then and will treasure forever.I remember feeling excited with delight to see"my lamb"being licked clean by her mother,and I'm sure everyone got very tired of hearing me tell and retell my heroic story.Looking back,I'm so glad that I didn't refuse to get my hands dirty.If I had,the wonderful moment and the precious memory would have been lost.

24.What impressed the writer most during her childhood?C
A.Her dirty little hands.
B.Her parents'large farm.
C.Helping deliver a baby lamb.
D.Raising animals on the farm.
25.How did the author feel when she was asked to help a ewe deliver her baby?B
A.Some sympathy.
B.Rather frightened.
C.Quite astonished.
D.Highly delighted.
26.What point does the author try to make in the last paragraph?D

B.It is not easy to make up and tell a heroic story in daily life.
C.Memories formed during childhood are worth valuing all life long.
D.You need to get your hands dirty to experience something precious.
27.What could be the best title for the passage?A
A.A Valuable Life Lesson           
B.A Tidy and Clean Child
C.A Ewe Delivering her Baby        
D.A Beautiful Newborn Lamb.

12.What do you do if your child tells you that they want to choose a major where they aren't likely to make a lot of money?Or what if you're worried about their happiness,how they will repay their student loans and when they will get a job after graduation?(36)C
Talk about the economics (经济因素) of their choice.It's important that your child chooses a field they're excited about.(37)DIf your child hasn't yet thought about the student loan payments they'll be making after graduation,that can be a good place to start the conversation.Suggest your child research the job prospects (前景) as well as average salaries for majors they're interested in.If they still want to major in the low-salary field,you might suggest they go to a less expensive college.
(38)AYour child might be passionate (激情) about majoring in a field where their job prospects are slim and you might be afraid of discouraging them by suggesting something else.In that case,ask them if they are open to minoring (辅修) in that field and majoring in a more marketable field.Sometimes the particular major/minor combination is the key to success on the job market.

14.Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神经紧张的).I had never been to such an amazing national park before,yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap,I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still have a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that,it's just you,the views,and the people around you.There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5of the world's highest waterfalls,and about 300lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away.Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out.It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.
Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.It's a great time to bond,laugh,and take in what Mother Nature offers.

16.Few of us make money by losing sleep.But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation (睡眠不足).
Jason Donahue,Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools.They began thinking about ways to sleep better.They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil.Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night.
The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative (有回复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle:REM (rapid eye movement) and deep sleep.What would it cost to design such a thing?Five years of research,20 employees,$14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists.
Their company,Zeo,based in Newton,Mass,launched its product in June,2009.The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors (传感器) that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states-REM,light,deep and waking sleep.The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep (which is when you're least groggy).In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site,and so track your sleep over time.Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept.
"Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,"says Dave Dickinson,a health-care CEO.
Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer,who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm.
For now the company is selling Zeo online only.Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia,where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.

29.Who will support Zeo?B
A.People full of imagination.
B.People suffering sleeping problems.
C.People having access to the Internet.
D.People having bad lifestyles.
30.To design the Zeo device,the three graduate studentsA.
A.spent much time and money
B.were widely supported by scientists
C.worked by themselves all the time
D.attracted many investors
31.What can we know from the passage?B
A.Zeo has a direct effect on users'lifestyles.
B.It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better.
C.A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia.
D.Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.
