There were one hundred people on board-father and mothers, sisters and brothers and little children. The weather on the sea was cold and hard. It took them two months to sail（航行）over the water.At last the Mayflower saw the land but people were sad to find there was nothing but rocks and sand on the land. Some of the fathers went on shore（上岸）to see if they can find any houses and whiter people. But they only saw some white Indians who ran away from them.Life on the land was very hard. The fathers had no one to help them to cut down the tree and build their houses. People were tired, cold and hungry too, because no one had the right kind of food to eat. Many people were sick. Soon half of them were in bed at the same time. Before spring came, half of the people went at last to “heave, their dearest country”.Luckily the sweet spring came again. The Indians visited them and gave them help. Their life became better. From then on, they started their new life on the land.43. Who took the Mayflower to America?A. Only old people.B. The wild Indians.C. Only young people.D. People of different ages.44. Why were many people sick?A. The weather was too hot.B. There was a kind of serious illness.C.

True friends are even harder to find. Making friends is not easy, and so we should do our best to keep our friendships alive（有活力的）.Whenever you municate with someone, ask questions to help him start talking. But dont ask questions that are too personal（私人的）because these will make them feel unfortable. They may even start looking for excuses to walk away.An important part of munication（交流）is listening. Listen carefully to what people are saying, and respond in the right way. It doesnt have to be with words. Body language and gestures can be enough to show that youre listening.Its easiest to make friends and keep friendships with people who have the same interests and hobbies as you. You can spend many meaningful（富有意义的）hours and days together, sharing your knowledge about your mon interests.In short, we should do our best to keep friendships for as long as we can. Friendship should be for life.46. We should try to keep friendships alive because .

SpellCIf youre ever apart from your children, a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug（拥抱）.If youre a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mothers voice alone can be just as forting to an anxious child as physical contact（接触）.In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones（荷尔蒙）: cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the “love” hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers rightaway. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didnt see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well theyd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the childrens anxiety but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if youre feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.50. If a girl is under stress, _ . A. she cant solve math problems B. she will have high levels of hormone C. oxytocin will remain at a high level D. cortisol will go up with oxytocin down51.
