These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.36.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

The first known settlers of the country were the Indians. It is believed that the Indians crossed into this continent across the Bering Strait and Sea from eastern Asia at least 10,000 years ago. When Europeans first entered the country. Indians were living in most of the forested areas. There were only a few Indians in the provinces near the Atlantic Ocean. The second group of people to enter Canada were the Eskimos. They crossed the Bering Strait from Asia less than 3,000 years ago. There are few records of their early movements. The first white settlers in Canada were the French. They came in greatest numbers to Quebec, but also to Nova Scotia, where they cleared farms on the southern side of the Bay of Funday. The French built their citadel（城堡）at Quebec City, and cleared farms out of the forests in the area. By the time of the British conquest（征服）in 1763, there were about 60, 000 French in Canada, living chiefly between Quebec and Montreal. There were not many British in Canada until American Revolutionary War drove large numbers northward. Through the nineteenth century, thousands of British people came to Canada. The descendants（后代）of these peoples from England, Scotland, and Ireland now make up about half the population. 39.This passage mainly talks about Canada.

Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldnt believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.On the way out of town, he began to understand what the owner did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didnt embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.

Give love wings (翅膀) and it may fly higher DMany students of English as a foreign language wonder how to build their vocabulary. Like every other subject of learning ,there is no magic pill, no easy way. The only way to add new words to your vocabulary is to work hard at it. Have you ever noticed that when you discover something for yourself you remember it better than if someone has told it to you ? Its the same with building vocabulary. If you can figure out the meaning of a new word without looking it up in a dictionary and you will remember it better. The best way to learn the meaning of a word is to infer it from the context in which it is used, because then you will truly understand it. When you read and come across a new word, before you run for your dictionary, try to determine its meaning from the way it is used, and the information around it. The Internet has a wealth of material for building your vocabulary. If you go online and search ESL Vocabulary you will find 1,200,000 entries(词条)! These sites contain exercises，games, flash cards and a countless of other activities. So, what do you do with these words after youve written them down? Keep a vocabulary journal(日志). When you come across a new word，write it in your journal. Write its meaning in English, then write its meaning in Chinese. Finally write three original English sentences using the word. If possible, ask an English speaker to read your sentences and tell you if youve used the word correctly. Use your new words when you speak. When you use them, they become yours. New words have no meaning and wont stay with you unless you have a frame of reference for them. Once you have written them, know their meaning and use them, you have created a frame of reference and you are more likely to remember them. Vocabulary building is hard work, but once you have a word, you have it forever. 47. The best title of the passage probably is_. A. The Way to Study English B. How to Improve Your English C. How to Build Your Vocabulary D. How to Use English Freely 48. Which of the following is the key factor to master English words? A. Putting great effort into them B. Proper learning skills . C. High intelligence. D. Important instructions. 49. The underlined phrase “figure out” in the second paragraph probably has the same meaning as_. A. work out B. come to C. add up to D. understand 50. Whet do we have to do to master a new word? A. Write it in your journal and its meaning in English. B. Write it in your journal and its meaning in Chinese. C. Make three sentences with it and ask an English speaker to correct them. D. Write it, know its meaning and use themEWhen I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. 51 .It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. 52 .
