Not this year.The weekend 38 long talks by the pool, wonderful meals, and a hike that brought the entire group to 39 . Not tears of sadness or anger, but an outpouring of emotion over the complete wonderment that we can be this close twelve years after graduation with such physical 40 between us. Its heartbreaking that we cant spend our days together in the same neighborhood, walking the same streets, reading the same newspaper at the same coffee shop. But thats 41 . Grown-up life. Most 42 is the groups adaptability to one another. The time we spend 43 is non-existent. No need to get reacquainted (重新熟悉), we jump back in the saddle and its as comfortable as ever. Old friends friends with an ever-present 44 of support and sisterhood, friends that know each other innately are hard to come by and yet we remain as 45 today as we were, years ago, giggling in the back row of Mr. McKechnies 9th grade math class.Life today, 46 , is no math class. Our world is full of 47 , full of fear. Yet it 48 me now, more than ever how important it is that we stay 49 .

One morning I had grabbed my favorite spot at a local Starbucks and was going through the newspaper when I noticed a man in ragged clothing looking really untidy. I felt led to speak to this man and so I did.I learned that he was homeless and just wandered from place to place. Starbucks was nice enough to allow him to come in from the cold or the heat depending on the day. I also learned that he used to be an architect, but as we spoke I saw more and more that he wasnt at the fullest of mental capabilities, which made me even more upset that he didnt have a place to go.I sat with this man for a very long time in Starbucks calling different clinics, hospitals, shelters, police departments. He even gave me a beat up business card of a gentleman saying that was his sons phone number. It was an out-of-state number, but I called anyway but was not able to reach him. Unfortunately, all the places I called were unable to take him.I asked him if he was hungry and he said yes, so I went down the street to a deli (熟食店) and ordered a sandwich and drink. When I got back, my new-found friend became angry for a reason I was not aware of or maybe it was some sort of mental disturbance. All I could do was set the sandwich down and told him that Ill leave it there for him if he wanted it and I left. I walked around town for a couple of minutes and then headed back to see if he was still there.A man who was sitting in Starbucks most of the time when I was there came out and told me that the man ate the sandwich and that he was touched that I had sat with him like I did. It seems to me that no matter whether something goes awry (非正常的) on the surface, there is always something beautiful at a deeper level.I still remember my friend. I looked for him every time I was in town, but that was the last time I saw him. I hope that I had provided some glimmer of hope that he was not forgotten.51.

Most school children will say the answer is Mount Everest near the border between Nepal and Tibet.There is something much taller than Mount Everest. However, it is mainly underwater. It begins at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and rises more than seventeen kilometers from the ocean floor. Its name is Mauna Loa, which is more than half of the island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also the largest and most active volcano on Earth. Today, Mauna Loa is quiet. However, according to volcano experts, it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.Mauna Loa is not the only volcano on the island of Hawaii. There are four others. Three of them are no longer active. One of them, Kilauea, is still active. At this moment, red hot lava is still pouring out of Kilauea. Sometimes the lava moves slowly. At other times it pours out very fast. When the lava from Kilauea reaches the ocean, its fierce heat produces great amounts of steam that rise into the air. The hot lava from Kilauea continues to burn underwater for some time and continues to add land to the island as the volcanoes of Hawaii have always done, which contributes to the formation of the island of Hawaii. Most of the time, the lava of Kilauea seems to move peacefully toward the ocean. Yet it is not as peaceful as it seems. In recent years the lava destroyed one small town on the island. The liquid rock slowly covered the town, blocking roads and destroying them. Nothing can stop the lava of Kilauea. Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat to the island and the volcanoes of the island of Hawaii show that the changing environment of Earth is, and will always remain, beyond human control.Mauna Loa and Kilauea together form Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. But another national park has a huge volcano. It is on the island of Maui. It is the Haleakala National Park. 59. Which is the tallest mountain in the world according to the passage? A. KilaueaB. Mount EverestC. Mauna Loa D. Haleakala60. How many volcanoes on the island of Hawaii are still active? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five 61. The passage mainly tells about _. A. the tallest mountain on earth B. volcanoes on the island of Hawaii C. the largest and most active volcano on Earth D. volcanoes changing the environment of EarthDBaroness Thatcher, Britains greatest post-war prime minister, died at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke, her family announced on 8 April 2013.
