You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than Ive ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door. When youre older well tell you that you were born in HongKong in the lunar year of the pig. “Its a boy, so lucky,” our neighbours told us. They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui, in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that. Your ing has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have e across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell you the truth, its nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed. Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja, aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home. Everything was gone, she told me. There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where theyd been beaten to death. The children had died holding on to their mother. Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you. 21We can see that this text is written to _.A. the authors wife B. the authors neighbourC. Daniel D. a suffering child22The author mentions some of his painful memories because _.A. he wants his son to care for othersB. he feels more pain thinking about them as a fatherC. he hopes to forget the tragedies he witnessedD. his experience has affected his mental health23The underlined word “blind” in the last paragraph means _.A. unable to see B.

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked tothe fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “this is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles being smaller and weaker as they age.28. The text mainly talks about _.A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing processC. the gender difference D. hearts and long life29. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age30. If you want to live longer, you should _.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularlyto keep your heart healthyD. prevent your cells from being lost31. We can know from the passage that _.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20 DWhen milk arrived on the doorstep When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer (硬币兑换器)fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big panies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to pete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.32. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer .A. to show his magical power. B. to satisfy his curiosity. C. to pay for the delivery D. to please his mother. 33. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was afraid of cold.C. He was fully trusted by the family. D. He was treated as a family member.34. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. It has been driven out of the market. B. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.35. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.
