I was traveling back home from a family visit, and after treating me to breakfast and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted to make sure that I would be okay on the road.“No, Dad. Youve done so much already. Thank you!” I was overwhelmed (受宠若惊) once again by his kind acts of providing everything I needed, although I turned 40. Yet I realize that in my fathers eyes, I will always be his little girl. He takes deep pleasure in knowing his children are all right. Now that he has enough money, he loves to give whenever he sees a need.But this was not always the case. Divorced from my mother when I was 11, my dad couldnt be around his kids as often as he would have liked. Money was also tight; even weekend visits were rare. However, my dad stayed in constant communication with us and made sure he was involved (参与) in our lives. Though he couldnt always be there in person, I knew he was only a phone call away. I could always make sure of that.Even now, almost 30 years later, I treasure knowing that I can pick up the phone and call Dad, and hell be there for me. I have a wonderful husband, but that hasnt changed how Dad sees me. Im still his child and he loves to see that my needs are met.I remember a time when I was shopping in a hardware store (五金店) with Dad. I mentioned my plans to paint one wall in my house. Well, thats all it took for Dad to take action. By the time I got to the checkout (结账) line, all the supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed with things he bought.Then there was the time when I took him with me to do some grocery shopping for just a few “items”. By the time we were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you dont want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want something.21. Whats the best title for the passage? A. A hard-working father B.

Many of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love. Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars, so her dress was pictures of cars on it. “We havent found this type of dress in this store,” Cathy, Bellas mother says.The car dress is from a new girls clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products (产品) for girls have more designs normally found on boys clothes.It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships. “One day when I walked through a girls store, I thought to myself I wish theyd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone, maybe I, should do that.” Rebecca said.Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The woman sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand (扩大) their business online. “They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. She raised more than $215,000 within days, far more than $35,000 they expected. “Our biggest challenge is how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said. She hopes Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.25. Bella clothing is special because it has pictures of _ .A. flowersB. horsesC. carsD. butterflies26.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it . Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports his idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.32. Scientists believe that _.A. Some babies are born with a sense of direction.B. People learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. People never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth33. What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction. C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around. D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car. 34. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it D. remember something easily recognizable on the route 35. According to the passage the best way to find your way around is to _.A. ask policemen for directions B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs D. count the number of landmarks that you see 第二节: (共5小题，每小题2分) 根据短文内容，从所给的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。Stress (压力) can bring many health problems. One way to take the stress away is learning how to stop useless complaint (抱怨).Develop a good attitude. Change the way you think. Of course, this is far easier said than done, but it is quite possible. Develop a good attitude towards dealing with problems.

Stand up straight, hold your head, have a strong handshake and always look people in the eyes. Remember that you are the best. (39) Say what you want to clearly. Keep moving forward. Refuse to allow lifes failures to keep you from moving forward. Sure, there are people and situations that will upset you. However, this is no excuse to stop going forward.

There is no need to worry about the future.D. Accept the situation for what it is and look forward.E. Own your mistakes, but never the mistakes of others.F.
