ld call at 3: 00 am in the morning. Every year it would start like this, “At this time, years ago you woke me up, so I thought I’d wake you up. Happy birthday!” My mother had a great sense of humor.In the early years after she passed away, I missed those 3:00 am phone calls. I often thought if only I could hear her voice one more time.It was probably ten years after she died when this next event took place. My mother-in-law, Liz was visiting from Mexico the night before my birthday.After chatting with Liz, we went to sleep together. Sure enough in the middle of the night, I awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. I looked at the clock, 3:00 am.The ringing phone had also waken Liz.

With that, it stopped.I asked, “Did you hear the word Waterloo?” She said she had, but had no idea what it meant.

the story the author meant to tell us .A. her mother’s love for her B. a horrifying storyC. a visit before birthday D. an expected callBIn a dry desert lies a small seed. It is the seed of a cactus (仙人掌) plant. The seed lies on the ground. It lies there for one year. It is waiting. The cactus seed must wait for rain. But not just any rain. It waits for a heavy rain. It needs a heavy rain so it can grow.One day, a heavy rain falls. It makes the seed sprout. The small seed then sends out tiny roots. The roots go down into the earth. A new cactus begins to grow. The growing cactus needs food. Its food is in the seed. The seed feeds the cactus as it grows.The cactus sends out more roots. They go deeper into the earth. There they reach water. Other roots are not so deep. They take water from light rains. Soon the food in the seed is gone. The new cactus must now make its own food. The cactus takes in light from the sun. It takes in air and water. The cactus turns these into food.For two or more years the cactus grows. Then it is ready to flower. The cactus produces a bud (花蕾). The bud is the start of a flower. The bud has hairs on it. The hairs help keep animals away.Then one day, there is a flower. But it will not stay for long. The cactus needs to save its food and water. So it keeps its flower only a few days. Then seeds fall from the flower. They fall to the ground. Here they lie for a year. They lie and wait for rain. One day, they will grow into a new cactus.60.

The hairs on the bud of the cactus are used for ______.A. taking in more air B. absorbing more waterC. not being eaten by animals D. not getting burnt by lightCThe United Nations yesterday urged a global phase-out of old-style light bulbs and a switch to low-energy lighting that would save billions of dollars and combat (对抗) climate change. About 40 countries already have plans to switch from incandescent light bulbs (白炽灯泡), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said in a report.Generation of electricity for lighting, often from burning fossil fuels, accounts for 8% of world greenhouse gas emissions (排放), it said. A shift to more efficient bulbs would cut electricity demand for lighting by 2%.Indonesia, for instance, could save $1bn a year and cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 8m tonnes a year, the equivalent of taking 2m cars off the road. Brazil could save $2bn a year, Mexico $900m, Ukraine $210m and South Africa $280m. All would also deliver big cuts in emissions. “The actual economic benefits could be even higher,” said Achim Steiner, head of UNEP, who added that a switch to efficient lighting in Indonesia would avoid the need to build several coal-fired power stations costing $2.5bn. And similar findings come from other country assessments.He also said the cost calculations did not include health benefits from switching from the use of fossil fuels, including use of kerosene lamps (煤油灯). About 1.8m deaths a year are linked with indoor air pollution.UNEP cautioned(警告) there were drawbacks because the most common low-energy light bulbs contain toxic (有毒的) material. It said countries need to ensure safe collection and disposal(处理) of the light bulbs. It is a central challenge, especially in developing countries. Countries including EU members, the US, Canada, Australia, Cuba and the Philippines were working on phase-outs of old-style bulbs.64. The under

Indonesia. B. Brazil. C. Mexico. D. South Africa.67. What’s the challenge of popularizing low-energy bulbs?A. Inconvenience in using. B. Lack of financial support.C. Safety of dealing with used bulbs. D. Misunderstanding from the public.DSpeed reading is a technique by which an individual can not only read fast but also retain (保留) the information given in the reading material. The primary reason for a low reading speed is that we can’t judge what to read and what part to skip (跳过). Here are some speed reading tips that will help improve your reading speed.First you need to skim through (浏览) the material you’re going to read. If you’re reading a textbook, then it’s a good idea to read the summary, introduction or preface before reading the main text. Reading the summary will give you a guide about what you need to learn from the text. Your eyes can take in several words at a time and this is known as eye span. To increase your reading speed, try reading blocks (块) of words in a sentence. You can also skip over words such as: the, a, it, to, etc., as even if you skip over them, you’ll still understand the main idea of the sentence you’re reading.The most common mistake made by poor readers is often pausing in the middle of their reading to go back and dwell on some previous sentences. One way to avoid this is to use a piece of paper to place it over the text you’re reading, covering each line once you’ve finished reading it.Some people move their lips while reading while others like to “read in their head”. Both the methods contribute t

12345678910下一页

o a low reading speed. The best way to break this habit is to be conscious while reading and if you catch yourself moving your lips, just place a finger on your mouth._________________ If you’re reading in a crowded room, you can try to block out (阻挡) all sounds by using earplugs. To retain what you’ve read, you need to concentrate and focus on your reading material.68. The purpose of the text is to .A. show reasons for improving reading speedB. prove the importance of fast readingC. call on readers to read more and fasterD. help increase reading speed69. According to the second paragraph, you while reading.A. should avoid reading word by wordB. should try to move your eyes fastC. must focus on the key sentencesD. must write the summary at first70. What’s the purpose of placing a piece of paper over the text you’re reading?A. To read the text more closely. B. To avoid re-reading.C. To recite the text. D. To prevent you from being disturbed.71. To fill in the blank in the text, which of the following is most suitable?A. Concentration is not necessary in some cases.B. Avoiding distractions is also a good idea.C. Try to practice reading in a large room.D. You should focus on your reading skills.EThe average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation.Those aged 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cellphones.And because so many of them are multitasking — say, surfing the Internet while listening to music — they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that seven and a half hours.“I feel like my days would be bor

ing without it,” said Francisco Sepulveda, a 14-year-old Bronx eighth grader who uses his smart phone to surf the Web, watch videos, listen to music — and send or receive about 500 texts a day.The study’s findings shocked its authors. It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades.While most of the young people in the study got good grades, 47 percent of the heaviest media users had mostly C’s or lower. The heaviest media users were also more likely than the lightest users to report that they were bored or sad, or that they got into trouble, did not get along well with their parents and were not happy at school.The study also found that young people used less media in homes with rules like no television during meals or in the bedroom, or with limits on media time.Victoria Rideout, a Kaiser vice president who is lead author of the study, said that although it has become harder for parents to control what their children do, they can still have an effect.“I don’t think parents should feel totally incapable,” she said. “They can still make rules, and it still makes a difference.”
