This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place.

At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also e in different colors silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks (人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather acpanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.24. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are colorful and available.C. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.25. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _.A. to experience local cultureB. to use it for transportC. to ride it for funD. to improve his riding skills26. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring. B. It was wonderful.C. It was lively.D. It was difficult.27. Which of the following best describes the authors biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author took great pleasure in biking.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author was annoyed by the air while riding. COne day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet. Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good Luck!” Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung (吊) my banjo over my back when the driver said, “What? Are you going to play that in my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I dont like it?” “Then tell me and I will stop,” I replied. We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous! Then I started plucking (弹奏) the old song Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song. One song led to another, and everyone seemed to have a request. “Do you know You Are My Sunshine?” Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight. The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. The driver said to me, “This was the best ride I ever had. Thanks for your music.” A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience a magical, musical bus ride. 28. What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2?A. He was unwilling to take those people to the airport. B. He was late because he just returned from an all-night shift. C. He thought it was possible to get those people to the airport in time. D. He thought he was lucky to take those people to the airport. 29. When the author decided to play his banjo, _. A. the driver fully supported him B. all the passengers disliked that idea C. not all the passengers preferred that idea D. the whole bus burst into song 30. The underlined word “horrendous” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”. A. cheerful B. terrible C. strange D. changeable 31. What does this text mainly tell us? A. An unforgettable flight to Seattle. B. A wonderful musical bus ride. C. A great banjo player. D. The amazing friendship on a bus. DThe National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the worlds greatest art museums. Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the worlds fine artists. But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved, the Gallery must protect them carefully. The Gallerys 135-man guard force has successfully prevented theft, but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem.In past times, the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity and temperature. As a result, the life of these paintings was shortened. In the National Gallery, however, humidity and temperature are carefully controlled. The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The air-conditioning and heating systems are so important to the life of the paintings that the Gallery has two of each system. If one should fail, the extra one can take over.Light is another enemy of paintings. Ultraviolet rays (紫外线) in light cause paintings to fade (褪色). Long ago, paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces. A coat of varnish (清漆) was a protection from the weak light. But when museums took over the care of many paintings, they were often hung in brighter light than before. Soon they were in danger of fading. The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating, yellowed with age.To protect its paintings, the National Gallery installed (安装) a special kind of glass in its skylights. This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays. The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading. Thanks to these new precautions (预防措施), many of the worlds greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy.32. The text mainly tells us about _.A. the guard force in the National GalleryB. the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery C. priceless paintings of past timesD. protecting great paintings from nature33. What does harm to paintings according to the text?A. Humidity, temperature and light.B. Humidity, temperature and varnish.C. Humidity, light and varnish.D. Temperature, light and varnish.34. Why did the museums remove varnish coatings from some paintings? A. They had built glass boxes for the paintings. B. They had taken over the care of the paintings.C. They found the coatings yellowed with age.D. They would add other coating materials to the paintings.35. We can infer from the text that _.A. the National Gallery has done little to protect the paintingsB. the care of the worlds greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a great challenge C. you can touch these paintings while you are in the National GalleryD. the guard force in the Gallery has not done a good job 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。Life is full of surprises and events that sometimes change ones daily routine (日常事务).
