Sometimes I really doubt 36 there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways 37 I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, “I love you” is 38 luxurious for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.Finally my father has a bad temper.When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low 39
My mother stopped her work and 40 her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn’t answer immediately.Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 41 her.I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. 42 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 43 , “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen 44 or anytime, but it’s really there. 45 is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her 46 the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a 47 illness.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had 48 been so gentle.It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees.The sun gently glistened 49 the leaves.All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover 51 two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk 52 .All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love 54 flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside, 55 life strong and warm..

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.
In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.

Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.
Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored
Facing their children's complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there's been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"
What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter's &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.
Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.
I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁药)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (处方).
My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.
【小题1】The reason why the author felt surprised in the amusement park was that ________.
A.his son was not as excited by the roller coasters ride as expected |
B.his songs enjoyed turns and circles with his face stretched |
C.his son appeared upset but calm while riding the roller coasters |
D.his son could keep his balance so well on the fast moving roller coasters |
A.if their parents allow them to ride roller coasters very often |
B.since parents spend money on the same form of entertainment |
C.after they take anti-depressants according to the diagnoses |
D.if they are often exposed to more stimulating entertainment |
A.a much wider variety of sports facilities |
B.activities that require complicated skills |
C.the change of the forms of recreation |
D.more challenging physical exercise |
A.adjusting the pace of life and strength of stimulation |
B.promoting the practice of dad-son days |
C.consulting a specialist in child psychology |
D.balancing school work with after school activities |

Everybody hates rats(老鼠). But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. ” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe. ” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building, but only after an earthquake, of course.
1. In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can ______.
A.take the place of man’s rescue jobs |
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings |
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings |
D.get into small spaces |
2.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ______.
A.the noise made by the rat |
B.the rat’s unusual behavior |
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back |
D.the smell given off by the person |
3.In doing rescue jobs, ______.
A.rats smell better than dogs |
B.dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people |
C.robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around |
D.rats can see in the dark and they are smaller than robots |
4.Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ______.
A.they are more fantastic than other animals |
B.they are less expensive to train than dogs |
C.they don’t need electricity |
D.they are small and can get into small places |
