We packed up our stuff and moved across the country to settle into our new home. Once there I was worried about the lack of extended family and thought I would miss the convenience of having relatives nearby. My aunt explained to my children (and myself) that there are many different kinds of family and not all of them have two parents in the home. I didnt think too much of this speech, being rather shell-shocked after the divorce, but her words stuck with me. It wasnt too long after we settled in that friends and neighbors began to come over to meet us and extend invitations for outings. Many single ladies lived in this particular locale and were very loving and affectionate with my school-aged children. After they got to know the kids better we began to get calls: Can I borrow your kids? I want to go to the circus and want to take them! I am going fossil hunting with my geology group: would your son like to come along? I am going hiking. Can I take your kids? How would your kids like to learn how to drive a mule? And, on and on it went like that. Not only did my children benefit from the outings by learning new things, they learned manners, geology, ecology, respect for animals and too many good things to mention. Our neighbors enjoyed the contact with the young folks, too. My daughter, now grown and with a child of her own, mentioned to me a few days ago how much she enjoyed the outings with our extended family while growing up. My son still recalls going fossil hunting years ago and still talks about it! We are still friends with all these neighbors although we are all older. Now that my own kids are grown up I find myself looking around the neighborhood myself for families with young children. I might want to go looking for frogs and turtles by the creek . or maybe the circus . and, I might just say: Can I borrow your kids?41. Upon arrival, why did the aunt explain something to the writers children?A. To comfort her B. To ease her painC. To point out a phenomenon D. To discuss problems with her42.

Now the writers children still recall the outings with extended family because of the following reasons EXCEPT .A. they benefited a lot from the outingsB. they enjoyed their stay with friendly neighborsC. they learn many good thingsD. theyre still friends with all these neighbors45.

Inherited diseases, brain disorders associated with mental illness, and head injuries can all affect the way the brain works and upset the daily activities of the rest of the body.Problems that can affect the brain include:Brain tumors. A tumor is a swelling caused by overgrown tissue. A tumor in the brain may grow slowly and produce few symptoms until it becomes large, or it can grow and spread rapidly, causing severe and quickly worsening symptoms. Brain tumors in children can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors usually grow in one place and may be curable through surgery if theyre located in a place where they can be removed without damaging the normal tissue near the tumor. A malignant tumor is cancerous and more likely to grow rapidly and spread.Headaches. Of the many different types of headaches, the most frequently occurring include tension headache (the most common type), caused by muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders; migraine, an intense, recurring headache with an unclear cause; and cluster headache, considered by some to be a form of migraine. Migraines occur with or without warning and may last for several hours or days. There seems to be an inherited predisposition to migraines as well as certain triggers that can lead to them. People with migraines may experience dizziness, numbness, sensitivity to light, and nausea, and may see flashing zigzag lines before their eyes.Mental illness. Mental illnesses are psychological and behavioral in nature and involve a wide range of problems in thought and function. Certain mental illnesses are now known to be linked to structural abnormalities or chemical dysfunction of the brain. Some mental illnesses are inherited, but often the cause is unknown. Injuries to the brain and chronic drug or alcohol abuse also can trigger some mental illnesses. Signs of chronic mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may first show up in childhood. Mental illnesses that can be seen in younger people include depression, eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and phobias.Head injuries. Head injuries fit into two categories: external (usually scalp) injuries and internal head injuries. Internal injuries may involve the skull, the blood vessels within the skull, or the brain. Fortunately, most childhood falls or blows to the head result in injury to the scalp only, which is usually more frightening than threatening. An internal head injury could have more serious implications because the skull serves as the protective helmet for the delicate brain.50. What will happen if something goes wrong with the brain?A. Itll affect the function of the brainB. Itll cause brain disordersC. Nothing seriousD. It wont affect the rest of the body51. Which of the following statements about the tumor is NOT TRUE?A. A brain tumor grow slowly but may produce a few symptoms at the beginning.B. Benign tumors may be curable.C. A child diagnosed with a malignant tumor is likely to face a life threat.D. A tumor is caused by unnecessary tissue.52. How many types of headaches are mentioned in the passage?A. 2 B. 3C. 4 D. 553. According to the passage, chronic drug or alcohol abuse may result in .A. brain tumors B. headaches C. mental illness D. head injuries54. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. external injuries are as threatening as internal injuriesB. problem with blood vessels belong to internal injuriesC. external injuries are less serious than internal injuriesD. the skull protects the delicate brainD(原创;文章出处：欧亨利的短片小说爱的牺牲；单词量：555words)Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married. They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money. Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband: Joe, dear, Ive found a pupil, a generals daughter. She is a sweet girl. Im to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson. But Joe was not glad. But how about me? he said. Do you think Im going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too. Joe, dear, you are silly, said Delia. You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week. Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures, said Joe. Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired. Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. Im afraid she doesnt practice enough. But the general is the dearest old man! I wish you could know him, Joe. And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.

Well have a good supper tonight. Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage. Whats the matter with you
