6．Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor，scientist and businessman who invented many things that greatly influenced life around the world，such as the phonograph，the motion picture camera，and a long-lasting，practical electric light bulb．Edison has been recognized as the creator of the first industrial research laboratory．It is he who came up with the concept of providing electricity for home．His first power station was on Manhattan Island，New York．
Edison was born in Milan，Ohio，and grew up in Port Huron，Michigan．He was the seventh and last child of his family．When he was young，Edison stayed at home and was taught by his mother．Edison recalled later，"My mother was the making of me．She was so true，so sure of me； and I felt I had someone to live for，someone I must not disappoint．"During his childhood，he suffered from scarlet fever which affected his hearing．
Young Edison sold candy and newspapers on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit，and he sold vegetables to supplement his income．These jobs，though insignificant，inspired him greatly．He realized that he had a talent for business．These talents eventually made him founder of 14 companies，including General Electric，which is still in existence and is the largest publicly traded company in the world．
Edison started as a telegraph operator and this was the field in which he came up with the first invention．The invention which first gained him fame was the phonograph in 1877．The invention seemed magical，as nothing similar had ever been thought of before．Funded by the successful sale of the telegraph at a price of $10，000，Edison built his own research laboratory in Menlo Park，New Jersey．
The laboratory expanded rapidly over the decade．In 1892，it was confirmed that Edison was the official inventor of the carbon microphones，which was used in all telephones．Although he attempted to make use of X-rays to take radiographs，he quit the project and admitted his fear of X-rays in public．
Thomas Edison died of diabetes at his home in New Jersey，on October 18，1931 and in honor of his contributions，Life magazine （USA），in a special double issue in 1997，placed Edison first in the list of the"100 Most Important People in the Last 1000 Years"，noting that the light bulb he promoted"lit up the world"．

I was about to leave （42）D  I saw Sam cleaning the garden．He is an employee of our society association and is （43）C  to take care of the walkways and the garden．I walked up to Sam as it was a（n）（44）C to see him there cleaning at this time．He saw me and politely （45）B me，"Happy New Year!"
"How come you are here and doing all this on the very first day of a new year？"I asked．Sam answered （46）D，"It is the first day of the year so they should feel good and special．For me，today is like any other day47A and my job starts with the （48）B．"

4．When I was thirteen，one day my mom told my family that she had to tell us something． So my dad，my brother and I all sat down on the sofa to begin the discussion．You could feel the （36）A   atmosphere of the room．It was （37）C that something was wrong．Then my mom told us that she had been diagnosed （诊断） with a very serious disease．That was when we all had a moment of （38）C and cried．
After that my mom started the （39）B  and had to travel to the hospital every day．After a week，she began to lose her （40）A and so she shaved it all off．My mom would always wear bright-colored scarf's and after a while （41）C  to buy a wig （假发：）．Along with losing her hair she lost all her nails．
（42）B，I had never seen a desperate look in my mom's eye．I remember one day I went with my mom to the hospital．When we were （43）B  for her to receive the treatment，we  kept telling jokes．We both burst out （44）D  from time to time．Everyone in the waiting room was so （45）A，while we were in the middle of the room，chatting （46）C Neither of us cared （47）D  people thought of us．

2．Do you think getting cold can give you a cold？Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold？Can chicken soup cure a cold？
Ranit Mishori is a family medicine doctor at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington．She says colds are more common in winter，but not because of low temperatures．The cold weather just means people stay inside more．
Ranit Mishori："People tend to congregate and be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from one person to another is through handshakes，through sneezing，or coughing on one another．"
Adults generally get two to three colds a year．Children are likely to catch four or five．Dr．Mishori says some people mistakenly believe they can become resistant to colds．
Ranit Mishori："There are about two hundred different viruses that cause the common cold．People think that once you get infected one time you develop immunity for the rest of your life．This is wrong．"
There is still no cure for the common cold．But Dr．Mishori says there are ways to feel better sooner．
Ranit Mishori："So if you get a cold and on day one and you start taking about two grams of vitamin C a day，there is evidence that it might shorten the number of days that you will be suffering with these symptoms．"
She says honey can also help．"There is increased evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days．"
Dr．Mishori says honey seems to be especially effective in children with colds．But the Agriculture Department says never to feed honey to babies less than one year old．It says even honey in prepared foods may contain substances that can make babies very sick．
Some people believe in treating a cold with chicken soup．Does it work？
Ranit Mishori："Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties，so it helps reduce the duration of the cold but also it helps clear the mucus．"Mucus is the sticky substance that can make you cough and have trouble breathing during a cold．
Ranit Mishori："But you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or you can drink tea--anything that gets fluids into your body．That's very important．"
But what about drinking milk during a cold？Some people think it only causes more mucus．Dr．Mishori says yes and no．
Ranit Mishori："Dairy products do not cause increased secretions，but they can thicken the secretions．So it's possible that discomfort is somewhat more enhanced when you drink milk．But obviously，if you're a baby and that's all you drink，you should not stop giving babies milk．"

57．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．the ways to cure the common colds
B．the symptoms of the common colds
C．the causes of the common colds
D．the knowledge related to the common colds．

20．My name is Patti，and my mom told me that when I was born，I was the most beautiful baby inthe world．
Then，one day when I was five years old，my life changed．I had a high fever，but carelessly，I took the wrong medicine，which caused me to lose my speaking ability．My mom couldn't believe it，but the doctor told her that the medicine brought me a lot of problems with my voice．He thought that I would never be able to speak well again or learn any other language．
However，my mom never gave up，and she tried her best to help me overcome my difficulties．She sent me to a lot of teachers．Finally，she found the right teacher，Nina，to help me to make my dream come true．
The most amazing thing was that she taught me to read my mouth．I remember that I spent hours in front of the mirror and tried to repeat every word that I said．Imagine losing your voice and having to learn everything new．For me，it was like being born again．Yes，I was!I learned to talk and speak my mother language-Spanish．
Now，I am studying English．I can't believe that I am learning another language，and that is all because of Mom！Also I am proud of myself!

19．Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say．If an employee was having a bad day，Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me curious，so one day I went up to Michael and asked him．"I don't get it．You can't be positive all the time．How do you do it？"
Michael replied，"Each morning 1wake up and say to myself，‘Mike，you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．'I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens．I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it．I  choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining，I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．"
"Yes it is，"Michael said，"Life is all about choices．When you cut away all the junk，every situation is a choice．You choose how you react to situations．You choose how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bosom line is：It's your choice how you live life．"

18．Right after the Second World War，Germany was in ruins．Almost all the houses，factories and schools were destroyed．Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless．Worse still，the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city．Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement．The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company．Worse still，there were bills for them to pay-four children to care for and food to buy．Life was hard for them at that time．
After the interview，the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company．
"Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland？"
"Absolutely．"
"But I can't see any hope for the country at all．How can you be so certain about that？"
"Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement？There was a vase of flowers．A nation，suffering at such moment，hasn't forgotten about flowers．It shows that hopes are not lost．They are still able to dream．A nation with hope can create miracles．They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland．"
