12.Once upon a time,a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.Money was tight,and he became even more upset when he saw that the child had pasted(粘贴)the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless,the next morning the little girl,filled with excitement,brought the gift box to her father and said,"This is for you,Daddy!"
Seeing the box,the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.But when he opened it,he found it was empty and again his anger burst out."Don't you know,young lady,"he shouted,"when you give someone a present,there's supposed to be something inside the package?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said:"Daddy,it's not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
The father broke down.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl.He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
Only a short time later,an accident took the life of the child.It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life.Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box,take out an imaginary kiss,and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a real sense,each of us has been given a"gold box"filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,family,friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

A.happy
B.poor
C.lucky
D.wealthy
58.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The father should be responsible for his daughter's death.
B.The girl had thought her father would be angry with her gift.
C.The gold box meant much to the father after the daughter's death.
D.The daughter's death discouraged her father from doing anything.

When Jeanne Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s eldest person. (There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)

Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.

Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”

In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).

1.Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?

A. To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.

B. To emphasize that Calment was born a long time ago.

C. To indicate that Calment is just as famous.

D. To admire the knowledge that Calment had.

2.The author believed that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to ______.

A. a sense of humor B. being kept busy

C. belief in God D. good genes

3.What is the meaning of the underlined sentences?

A. She paid much attention to the wrinkle.

B. She felt sad for the wrinkle.

C. She just put the wrinkle aside.

D. She sat down and some one helped her deal with the wrinkle.

Dr Borlaug was hardly known in the country of his birth,the USA.But in India,Mexico,Russia and other nations with hunger and famine(饥荒),he was known as one of the great Americans of modem times.Edwin Price,director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University,once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia,where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow."When Norman came in,"Price said,"the scientists at the institute all cried."

In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize,he said an enough supply of food is"the first term of social justice…Otherwise there will be no peace."He warned that the world would have too many mouths to feed.

1.Brother James Kimpton,an Englishman,has been planting trees for a lifetime and doesn't plan on stopping now.The founder of Reaching the Unreached (RTU) has been serving among the poorest and most disadvantaged communities of India for the last 50years.
It's difficult to describe Brother Kimpton's work.He digs wells,builds homes,run schools,dresses wounds,helps the disabled,feeds the hungry,trains the unskilled,and shelters the abandoned.At 27,he was sent on foreign duty to Sri Lanka.For 12year,he taught in the slums(贫民窟).In 1964when the government ordered all foreigners to leave the country,he caught a ship to India and travelled to the city of Madurai."The minute I got there I knew I'd come home."

In his last will,Brother Kimpton has requested to be buried at Anbu Illam.Speaking to the audience gathered to celebrate his 50th year of service in Asia,he said,"I'm an Indian by choice."
He's smiling,but there's something touching in his words.
51.Which of the following is TRUE about James Kimpton?D
