Never Miss The Chance

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel _36_ to work.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the _37_ hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.

This spring, I _38_ a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while_39_ the dishes and see the flowers. I've _40_ thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look _41_ in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers_42_ , "I'll stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty..." _43_ the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk to be used for that _44_ purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I _45_ to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were_46_. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them _47_ this spring."

A week ago we were _48_ and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and_49_ , because of age and distance, we haven't been as _50_ as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but_51_  the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the _52_ between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time_53_  to plant some wonderful _54_ that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and _55_ them to my wildflower garden.

Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past．There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages，the advice or the gossip columns，the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements．Most people don’t take the time to read the real news. Newspapers attempt to catch the reader’s interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper．The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look．If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough，perhaps they will go on to read the front page．However，they may just read the headlines，but that is all，then they turn to the sports page，or comics，or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now．

More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper．What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get

the news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?

A．inure popular today                   B．less popular today

FROM 1964 to 1978, Dazhai, with a population of 500, was the most famous village in China. Millions of Chinese came to the Shanxi village to visit its terraced fields (梯田) and "splendid" irrigation systems.

It was not until 1978 when Guo Fenglian, head of the village, paid a visit to the US that China's model village found how far it had fallen behind those in developed countries.

"I was astonished at their modern equipment in harvesting, which could even separate big tomatoes with small ones," said Guo. "American farmers' life quality also impressed me a lot. Every day they had two cups of milk, which is something we don't have even in our wildest dreams."

"We have to learn their advanced technology and administration for our own development," said then first Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping who was planning China's reform and opening up policy then. "Through opening our doors, we would not only take advantage of foreign funds (资金), but also create job opportunities and cultivate (培养) talents."

In 1978 Japanese electricity giant Panasonic (松下) came to China as the first foreign business to invest (投资) here and its success attracted other world brands into exploring the Chinese market. So far China has for 15 years taken in the world's second biggest foreign investment, following the US, to help set the country in a fast growth.

However, China's 30-year road of reform was not always smooth. Doubts on the reform began to rise at the end of the 1980s as many people worried the country would turn to capitalism (资本主义).

"The criterion for our judgment is whether it helps develop socialist productive forces, whether it helps increase the overall national strength of a socialist country, and whether it brings about better living standards," said Deng.

"China's reform and opening up is a unique success story. It has brought benefit to both China and the world," said William Keller, chief manager of a Swiss pharmaceutical (制药的) company.

53. Guo Fenglian was ______ at the sight of the modern equipment in harvesting when she visited the US in 1978. 

A. shocked       B. delighted       C. excited       D. attracted

54. ______ was the first big country to invest in China. 

A. America  B. Japan   C. Swiss       D. Panasonic

55. Many people have doubts about the reform ________. 

A. in 1978             B. in 1980     

C. in 1981             D. at the end of the 1980s

56. According to remarks by Deng, which one is NOT the criterion for judging the success or failure of our work in various fields?

A. whether it helps develop socialist productive forces.

B. whether it strengthens the overall capacity of the country.

C. whether it brings about better investment and more profit.

D. whether it improves the peoples living standards.
