My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would__36__ the correct answer. When I was young，I thought__37__ was very important to us as humans，so I said，“My ears，Mummy.” She said，“No. Many people are __38__.But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first __39__，I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her，“Mummy，it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and said，“You are __40__ fast，but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
__41__ the years，Mother asked me a couple more __42__ and always her response to my answer was，“No，but you are getting __43__ every year，my child.” Then last year，my grandpa  __44__.Everyone was heartbroken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our __45__ to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me，“Do you know the most important body part yet，my dear？”
I was__46__ when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a __47__   between her and me. She saw the __48__ on my face and told me，“This question is very important. It shows that you have really__49__ your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said，“My dear，the most important body part is your  __50__.”I asked，“Is it because they hold up your head？” She replied，“No，it is __51__ on them a crying friend or a loved one can rest his or her head. I only hope that you have enough __52__ and friends and that you will have a shoulder to cry  __53__ when you need it.” Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a __54__ one. It is sympathetic to the pain of __55__.

My husband can plan wonderful surprise celebrations for me.Recently，however，I told him I didn’t want him to plan one for my upcoming birthday.
“Why？” he asked.
“I am embarrassed being the center of attention，”  I quickly explained.
Later，I began to think more deeply about this reason. Then I remembered the surprise celebration I had planned for my friend Nancy on her 60th birthday. We  were roommates on a three­week tour following the Silk Road on those famous steppes  (大草原)—and through the  mountains—of central Asia.
That  afternoon  we  had  arrived  at  our  hotel  in Samarkand，Uzbekistan. The young man at the hotel desk told me about a bakery about 10 minutes away. After giving me detailed directions，he added，“Your nose will let you know when you arrive there.”
The temperature was 40 ℃.Soon，my_olfaction proved to be an unfailing guide. Outside the bakery，a delicious smell greeted me.
There were several kinds of breads，cookies，and cakes on display. There were also beautiful iced cakes. I chose a cake topped with powdered sugar.
Later at the Karim Bek Restaurant，Nancy didn’t see the young waiter walk up the steps with the cake.When I began singing“Happy Birthday，”everyone at our table—except Nancy—joined in.
It took her a moment to realize what was happening. Then the grinning (咧嘴笑的)  guest of honor thanked me，blew out the candles on the cake，and ate three pieces of it.
Today，after reliving this experience in my mind，I told my husband to ignore my request.I now understand what a surprise party is about：It is not about having a surprise party but rather the delight in giving it. That is what brings the satisfying joy.
小題1:Why did the author go to the bakery?

A．To get some bread for her journey.

B．To experience the local taste in Samarkand.

C．To buy a birthday cake for her friend.

D．To eat some iced cakes to cool herself down.

小題2:The underlined words “my olfaction” in Paragraph 7 most probably refer to________.

A．the waiter at the hotel

B．the author’s sense of smell

C．the author’s friend

D．the author’s map

小題3:The party held at the Karim Bek Restaurant was________.

A．very successful	B．a(chǎn) little simple
C．quite boring	D．too noisy

小題4:From the last paragraph we learn that now the author________.

A．becomes less interested in surprise parties

B．thinks surprise parties are embarrassing

C．enjoys giving others surprises

D．realizes the true meaning of surprise parties

小題5:From the passage，we can NOT infer that________.

A．the author’s birthday is coming

B．the author’s husband loves her very much

C．the author and Nancy have been roommates for three weeks

D．the author has already spent her 60th birthday

After a very busy afternoon，as I walked into my house，I heard the phone ringing. It was my friend Lydia，upset over an argument with her husband. My usual approach is to offer advice，but this time，exhausted from chores，I simply sat down in a chair and listened to my friend’s frustration  and sadness. Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her，I stayed totally quiet while she talked. Eventually Lydia’s depression eased and we said our goodbyes. The next day she phoned to thank me. “I’m so grateful for the way you helped me through this，”she said.
At first I was surprised. After all，I had done nothing except be there for her. But after I had my own venting (發(fā)泄的)  experience with another friend later that evening，I realized that my focused silence had some value. In fact，most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap；it’s listening that’s rare and valuable It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying，but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. And for the speaker，that level of understanding translates into concern and respect.
Unfortunately，listening isn’t as easy as it sounds. Thanks  to  schedules  filled  with  family and work，multitasking has become a barrier (障礙) to listening. My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding  laundry or checking my e­mail while Lydia talked that afternoon.
Another barrier to listening is our listening system：Most of us take in only about half of what’s being said during a conversation，according to the International Listening Association. Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute，yet think at 500 words a minute. Therefore，because we think much more quickly than we  speak，it is easy for us to lose our concentration when  listening to speakers.
While it can be hard to focus at times，it’s a skill worth developing. With a little practice  (employing some techniques)，you can become a better listener.
小題1:Why didn’t the author give any advice to Lydia that afternoon?

A．Because she thought her keeping silence was better for Lydia.

B．Because she didn’t know how to comfort Lydia.

C．Because she was too tired to talk to Lydia.

D．Because she couldn’t cut in while Lydia was talking.

小題2:In Paragraph 2，the author mainly talks about________.

A．the importance of listening

B．the importance of venting anger

C．her own listening experience

D．her own venting experience

小題3:The author uses the result of the research in Paragraph 4 to mainly show that________.

A．we think much more quickly than we speak

B．we can only understand about half of what we hear

C．there is not much thinking time available while we are listening

D．we lose our concentration easily while we are listening

小題4:What will be discussed following the passage?

A．Why listening is valuable.

B．What we should do while listening.

C．How to become a good listener.

D．How to stop drifting off while listening.

小題5:The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．

A．explanation	B．introduction
C．comment	D．background

Teens are more likely to behave badly if their parents expect them to，a new US study has found.
“Parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually be having a bad effect on their children，” Christy Buchanan，a teacher at Wake Forest University and one of the authors of the study，said. “Bad expectations on the part of both parents and children predict more rebellious (叛逆的) behaviors later on.”
The finding came from a study of more than 250 sixth­ and seventh­graders and their mothers. They were examined at the start of the study and again one year later. If kids’ mothers expected them to take more risks and be more rebellious，higher chances of risky behavior were seen.This_was_also_true when kids had bad expectations of themselves.
“Sometimes parents expect more negative behavior from their children than they should based on the children’s history of behavior，” Buchanan said.Parents shouldn’t be naive (無知的) about the possibility of bad behavior，she said，but it’s also a mistake to think that children who are well­behaved will naturally become rebellious at the age of 13.
“By thinking risk­taking or rebelliousness is normal for teenagers and showing that to their children，parents might add to other messages from society that make teenagers feel that they are strange if they are not willing to take risks or break laws，” she said.“This can mean，for example，that when parents expect teens to drink before they turn 21 or to do other risky behaviors，kids are less likely to refuse to do so later in their lives.”
On the other hand，parents’ expectations that teens can exhibit good behaviors and refuse to behave badly or to take risks could help reduce the possibility of bad behavior，Buchanan said.“As a parent，you should put expectations on your children carefully.”
小題1:The passage is centered around the topic of________.

A．parental rights

B．children’s habits

C．parental education

D．parent­children relationship

小題2:What do we know about the study?

A．Only mothers were examined.

B．Participants were examined twice.

C．250 people were examined in the study.

D．Christy Buchanan was the only author of the study.

小題3:What does the underlined part “This was also true” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The kids were more likely to take dangerous behavior.

B．The kids would have bad expectations of their parents.

C．The kids were likely to go against their mothers.

D．Mothers expected their kids to behave badly.

小題4:Children may be more rebellious if________.

A．they know parents think risk­taking is normal

B．parents put little expectation on them

C．they behave well before they turn 13

D．they are asked not to take risks

小題5:What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Risk­taking is normal for teens.

B．Why are my teens behaving badly?

C．Don’t expect too much from your teens.

D．Bad expectations lead to bad­behaving teens.

The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to 26  that great distance. What 27 when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very  28  . The distance between them is either nonexistent (不存在的) or very small.”
The wise man  29 ，“When they love each other even more, they do not  30 ， but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 31  need not whisper. They only look at each other and that's  32 . That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So when you  33 ， do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.  34  there will come a day when the distance is so great that you'll not find the path to  35 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”
