Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity（成熟）or so we hopeWe all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just olderMost of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as wellFor instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proudFor Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful processBut growing old? That is a different story.Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心)American cultureMost Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre young as you feel”Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years oldPeople in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdomBut Americans seem to favor those who are young, or at least “young at heart”Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but goldenEconomically, “senior citizens” often try just to get byRetirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal ineSocial security benefits usually cannot make up the differenceOlder people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care, and housing. Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧视).

C Liquid Paper (修正液) was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham. She was 17 when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary, even though she didnt know how to type. The pany she worked for sent her to a secretary school, and she was typing in no time atall.The 1950s had seen the widespread use of the electric typewriter, which typed faster but also meant more mistakes. Also, mistakes made by early electric typewriters were very hard to erase, which caused problems for Bette.In order to make extra money she used her talent to paint holiday windows at the bank.Then one day, it suddenly occurred to her that she could create a paint to cover up type-writing mistakes.It worked! In 1956, Bette sold her first bottles of the new product, which she called “Mistake Out”. She made it in her kitchen, and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage.By 1957, she was selling 100 bottles a month and had gotten a patent (专利) for her product, which she now called “Liquid Paper.” Sales continued togrow, as more and more people heard about Liquid Paper, through word-of-mouth and by reading about it in magazines.In the 1960s, Bette bought a machine to help her produce Liquid Paper in large quantities. In 1971, she sold 2 million bottles. In 1979, she sold the pany for 47.5 million dollars. She didnt live to see the end of the contract (合同), dying in 1980, at the age of 56, in Texas.Bettes invention continues to be used every day by secretaries and other people in the office and wherever typewriters are used.8.

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. _16_ However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. _17_ They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog._18_This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things._19_People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. _20_A. Still, people say every dog has its day.B. Dogs are humans best friends.C. Some people are pared to dogs in bad ways.D. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.F. That means many people are peting for the same things, like good jobs.G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.第二部分：英语知识运用 (共三节，满分35分)第一节 完形填空 （共20题，每小题1分，共20分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.
