A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(显出) it wasn’t.
When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.
But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.
An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.
John Renehan:
Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.
Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.
31．John Renehan cremated his “father” .
A．in 2003 B．in 2000 C．in 2005 D．in 2008
32．What mistake did police make?
A．They couldn’t find Mr Delaney as soon as possible.
B．In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.
C．They didn’t give any information to John Renehan.
D．They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.
33．The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that .
A．he had memory loss. B．his family disliked him
C．he liked to live outside D．he met with a friendly family
34．It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney .
A．has recovered his memory
B．often quarrelled with his family
C．loitered(游荡) in the streets for 5 years
D．was once a man with luck
35．Which of the following is the best title?
A．A Badly-rotten Body B．Missing Body
C．Missing Father D．Dead Father

According to the dictionary definition of“create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
64.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A. To prepare for a meal. B. To arrange the furniture in a special way.
C. To buy some books from a bookstore. D. To“write”a letter with the computer.
65.“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B. a new thing is only a tale
C. we can seldom create new things
D. we can hardly see really new things in the world
66. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
67. The best title for this passage is__________.
A. How to Develop One’s Creativity B. What Is Creativity
C. The Importance of Creativity D. Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing
