Through the years I
15、would 31 the correct answer. When I was younger I thought 32 was very important to us as humans， so I said， “My ears, Mummy.” She said， “No. Many people are 33 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.” Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first 34_ ,
16、 I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, “Mummy， it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and said, “You are 35 fast， but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” _36 the years, mother asked me a couple more _37_ and always her response to my answ
17、ers was, “ No, but you are getting _38_ every year, my child,” Then last year, my Grandpa _39_ . Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying.

24、the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over the medications available, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by thre
25、e viruses flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine（疫苗） , which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities
26、, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cod symptoms such as stuffy nose, running nose and scratchy throat typically developed gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu sym
27、ptoms including fever and coldness, painful throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more worrying than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when babies and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children
28、have flu-like symptoms. Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with the medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome（综合症） . There is, of cause, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washi
29、ng and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the probability catching one. 51. According to the author, knowing the cause of the discomfort will help _. A. prevent people from catching colds and the flu B. the patient obtain cheaper drugs C. the patient buy medicine D. shorten
30、 the period of the illness 52. We learn from the passage that _. A. the drugs available can be taken to ease the discomfort caused by a cold or the flu B. one doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flue C. aspirin should not be included in the medicines for the flu D. delayed treat
31、ment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systems 53. According to the passage, to fight against the flu effectively, one should _. A. take medicine upon catching the disease B. identify the virus which causes it C. consult a doctor as soon as possible D. remain watchful when the disea
32、se is spreading 54. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold? A. A painful throat. B. A stuffy nose. C. A dry cough. D. A high temperature. 55. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents _. A. are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccination B. are advised n
33、ot to give them aspirin C. should watch out for signs of Reye syndrome D. should prevent them B If you want to teach your children how to say sorry ,you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “Im sorry
34、I got angry with you, but. “, what follows that “but“ can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day“ or “your noise was giving me a headache“ leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior. Another method by which people appear to apologize with
35、out actually doing so is to say “Im sorry youre upset“; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done. These pseudo(虚假的 )-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children
36、to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A three-year-01d might need help in understanding that other childre
37、n feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other childrens expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking per
38、mission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parents clothes without permission is not. 56. If a mother adds “but“ to an apology, _. A. the child may find the apology easier to accept B. the child may feel that he should apologize to his mother C. she does not realize that the child has been hurt D.
39、she doesnt feel that she should have apologized 57. According to the author, saying “Im sorry youre upset.“ most probably means _. A. You have good reason to get upset B. I apologize for hurting your feelings C. Im wrong for making you upset D. I know youre upset, but Im not to blame 58. We learn fr
40、om the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _. A. their ages should be taken into consideration B. parents should be patient and tolerant C. parents need to set them a good example D. the difficulties involved should be taken no notice of 59. It can be inferred from the passage that
41、 apologizing properly is _. A. not necessary among family members B. a sign of social progress C. not as simple as it seems D. a matter calling for immediate attention C When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of the poison. They thought
42、 someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the
43、poor wouldnt eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick. Soon it became political and popular. Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how th
44、ey would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didnt care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she didnt know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didnt know how to deal with the situation
45、. One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings. “I am so
46、rry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the e
47、nvironment. It is no wonder all of you have been sick.” Shocked at the news, the people present were lost in thought. 60. Which is the correct order of the facts described in the story? a. People suffered from poisoning. b. Politicians came to make promises. c. People began to realize the real cause. d. Pork was thrown away. e. The water there w
