If you were going to 36 me I almost never lost it 37 ；of course I felt hurt, but I didnt show it.Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell 38 in love with him, a proud Italian who loudly discusses things 39 with himself when hes not happy. Things got worse for me when we started 40 on things. He seemed really angry and loud, while I seemed detached and polite. Truth is that I was 41 too. Fight after fight, he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel, while my moments of 42 discontent started to 43 more and more in time until they became hours, sometimes even days.I felt this had to change and the conversation went 44 like this：Me: “Either you change your 45 when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, and this will 46 our relationship.”Him: “Did you 47 the Mpemba Effect? If you put two 48 containers filled with the same amount of water into the fridge except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient(周围的) 49 ， the boiling water will 50 faster than the ambient water. Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. Thats why the Italians live 51 than Canadians.”The connection he suggested is to be 52 . but I have learned a fact I didnt know, one that has 53 me to understand that if Im angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the 54 or otherwise it is like hiding the dust under the 55 ：your house might look clean, but it is not.36.

It can be exciting for kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.Water SafetyAt this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket(飞涨) pared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.Sun SafetyWe are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, its important to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(防晒霜) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.Bike SafetyNothing says summer like a nice neighbourhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Dont forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. Its estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have been prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.56. Summer is called a dangerous time because children .C. want to learn swimming B. enjoy staying in the sunA. are easily injuredD. refuse to accept advice57. What can be learned from the passage?A. Kids only need to wear T-shirts and shorts.D. Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.C. Some swim schools offer children class for free.B. Bikes, like toys, seldom lead to injury.BIn modern society, it is usually considered good to be an extroverted(外向的) person. This means that life can be hard for introverted people. Their talents and abilities are often not recognized.Some people often try to make introverts more outgoing. They think that being an introvert is a problem. But there is nothing wrong about being an introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of meeting and talking to others. They simply prefer to spend time on their own, away from the crowds. They like reading, writing and taking walks in the countryside. But extroverts need other people. If they spend a lot of time on their own, they get bored. They tend to be impulsive and talk a lot.Our society puts a lot of pressure on people to be extrovert, to be outgoing and self-confident on every occasion. Susan Cain, the author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking, has spoken about this problem. “I was nine years old,” Cain says. “In my suitcase there were lots of books. This seemed normal to me, because in our family we always read a lot. I thought it would be the same at summer camp. But I was wrong. To create camp spirit, all the children had to sing a cheer every morning. I couldnt understand why. In the evening, I took out a book from my suitcase. But another girl said, why are you being so quiet? The second time I took out a book, the counselor(辅导员) came to see me. She told me to remember the camp spirit and that it was important to be outgoing.”At work, extroverts often do well. At job interviews, it is usually good to appear extrovert. It suggests that you will be good at the job. But it is wrong to think that only extroverts are good leaders. Introverts work in different ways to extroverts, but they can still do really great things. Darwi n, for example, was a quiet, family man. He often took long walks so that he could think clearly. But Darwins ideas about evolution were revolutionary.Introverts must understand that it is perfectly okay to be the way they are. It is not necessary to want to be the center of attention. You dont have to take part in noisy, social activities if you dont want to. And it is not necessary to try to bee more outgoing.58. This sentence “Introverts are generally misunderstood.” should be put at the beginning of Paragraph A. Three B. Two C. Four D. Five59. Paragraph 3 is constructed by means of .A. giving examples B. analyzing reasons C. listing arguments D. paring facts60. What can we infer from the passage?A. The talents and abilities of extroverts are usually ignored.B. Only extroverts are good leaders with better interpersonal skills.C. Some introverts feel caught between nature and social pressure. D. It is necessary for introverts to try to bee more outgoing.CWhen temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat es from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a pany called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement onU.S.roads.According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nations asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesnt produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.TheU.S.government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned abouttheir project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the worlds ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.61. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _.A. is too heavy to carry B. is environmentally-friendly C. is powered by an engineD. has a high temperature62. Whats theU.S.governments attitude towards the Brusaws plan now?A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive.D. Interested.63. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.B. Designing more money-saving solar panels. C. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.64. What would be the best title for the text?A. Power from the streets B. Better choice for your feetC. Advantages of sunlightD. Finding more future energyD Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and its true. I would be a different person if my mom hadnt turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dont know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we plained about not having what another kid did, wed hear something like, I dont care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet-16 party. We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew Iknew I had to have it.Its beautiful, my mother said when I pointed it out to her. What a neat basket.I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldnt stand it any longer: Mom, please can I please, please get it? Ill do extra chores for as long as you say. Ill do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?I was desperate.You know, she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, If you save up you could buy this yourself.By the time I make enough itll be gone!Maybe Roger here could hold it for you, she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.He cant hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?There might be another way, she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldnt find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already lookednakedwithout the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon.Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson Ive taken with me through my life: Honey, your basket is extra-special, Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.65. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The children were fond of the US presidents daughters. B.
