    19．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
    On September 11th，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying，"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honour!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
    One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
    Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year，"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
    The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say，"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
    "Thank God!"I heard Mum cry．
    From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!

    9．For centuries，the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings，are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example，the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason，and no emotion，as if taking someone's life as nothing．
    Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression"get cold feet"has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example，you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned （辞职），and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
    The expression"give someone the cold shoulder"probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone，instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or，to someone who has lied about you to others．
    A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly，unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy（同情）．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who，without feelings，broke the hearts of their lovers．
    Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．

    67．There areA expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．
    A.6   B.4    C.3     D.7
    68．When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way，you may express by"C"．
    A．I think he is a cold fish
    B．I think he is a cold-blooded man
    C．I give him the cold shoulder
    D．I'm likely to get cold feet
    69．We can use the expression"C"to describe a man who hurts his lover without mercy．
    A．cold-blooded    B．cold shoulder   C．cold-hearted    D．cold feet
    70．The topic of this passage is aboutB．
    A．the relationship between cold and our body
    B．some expressions connected with cold
    C．some expressions about friendship
    D．how cold weather comes into being．

    10．Have you ever felt that you want more friends？Have you found that you don't know how to make friends？Don't worry．It's easier than it looks．
    Start with small actions．If you're uncomfortable with long conversations with people，start by just saying"hi"and asking what the person is doing．Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning，people will usually still like you．When it comes to conversations，remember"F．O．R．"．It stands for family，occupation（职业） and recreation（休闲）．You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new．Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics．The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas．
    Honesty is the best policy．In friendship，"honesty"is the fundamental quality that one must have．One should always be honest with his or her friends．Don't laugh at people's fault．Praise them honestly and openly．Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend．
    Give more than you take．Be there when they need you，Encourage them； we all need encouragement now and then．Encourage their dreams．Life seems meaningless without them．Wish your friends good luck．Examine your purpose before you"help out"．Love and never forget them．

    7．People who show confidence really seem to have it made．They seize more rewarding careers，keep good relationships，and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us．
    So what is the secret？There isn't one．Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop．And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development，we all can learn to become more confident at any age．
    Try these simple tips for practising and increasing your self-confidence levels：
    Dare to fail．Anybody who's out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly．If you are not failing，you are not trying．So don't take failure too hard or too personally．Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving．
    When in doubt，pretend you know what you are doing．Because，if you are confident of your abilities，by the time you have done it，you will be experienced．
    Dress for success．You don't have to be beautiful to be confident．Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages．
    Listen to yourself．You are the only person who knows what's right for you．Don't put others'opinions above your own inner voice．
    Build a confident vocabulary．Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses．Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you．
    Pass on the praise．Praise others for their virtues and strengths．This practice will not decrease your confidence，but help increase it．

    39．The passage is written mainlyD．
    A．to explain the definition of self-confidence
    B．to explain the secret of self-confidence
    C．to tell people how important self-confidence is
    D．to tell people how to build self-confidence
    40．The main idea of the sixth paragraph isC．
    A．to be confident means to have no disadvantages
    B．taking full advantage of your physical characters will help you be confident
    C．your unique characters will help you be confident and be successful
    D．to be confident means to be beautiful
    41．All the following are tips to increase your self-confidence level EXCEPTC．
    A．not to be afraid of failure             B．dress yourself properly
    C．pretend to know everything              D．make your advantages more obvious

    14．Every electronic gadget （小玩意） needs good memory．A music player stores songs，albums and playlists．A computer holds schoolwork and programs and remembers how far a player has advanced in his or her favorite game．Mobile phones store names，numbers and hundreds of texts．
    Now，scientists in California say they have come up with a way to turn a living cell into a memory device．
    It can store only one tiny bit of information，but it's a start．In the future，a cell-based gadget might travel through the body and record measurements．The benefit to human health could be big：the right tool，for example，might record the earliest signs of disease．
    Doctors，scientists and other curious people want to know what is happening inside the body，even at levels that can't be seen by the naked eye．So far，there is no device small enough to travel through the bloodstream．
    If normal machines won't do the trick，perhaps biology will．Scientists who work in the field of synthetic （合成的） biology are trying to find ways to turn living things into human tools．In the case of the new memory device，bioengineers from Stanford University used the genetic material inside living cells to record information．
    This genetic material consists of DNA．Found in nearly every cell，DNA carries all of the information that keeps a living thing alive．
    In the new experiment，the researchers turned DNA from bacteria（细菌） into a switch．They"flip （翻转）"a small section of DNA．Then，using the same procedure （过程），the scientists flip the section again-returning it into its normal structure．
    Using these DNA switches，"We can write and erase DNA in a living cell，"bioengineer，Jerome Bonnet，explained to Science News．
    It might take years before his team or others identity whether a DNA-based memory device might be practical．Right now，it takes one hour to complete a flip．That is far too long to be useful．Plus，a flipped section has a very small little memory-less than what a computer uses to remember a single letter．
    "This was an important proof that it was doable，"Bonnet told Science News．"Now we want to build a more complex system，something that other people can use．"
    67．What is the aim of listing the electronic things in the first paragraph？D
    A．To make the passage more fashionable．
    B．To show how electronic things have memory．
    C．To discuss things in detail．
    D．To make the subject of the text more understandable．
    68．What is possible future benefit of the cell-based gadget for people？A   A．To detect disease at the earliest point．
    B．To help improve the memory．
    C．To help people build a body．
    D．To replace many electronic gadgets．
    69．What is the object being researched？B
    A．The cells of bacteria．
    B．The DNA of bacteria．
    C．A section of bacteria．
    D．The nucleus of bacteria．
    70．What do we know about a flipped section of DNA？A
    A．It has a very small memory．
    B．It can function as a computer．
    C．It has one letter in it．
    D．It takes a day to complete it．
