For 52 years my father got up at 5：30 am every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5：30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other_than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.
For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9：00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter.
On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me: my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm (动脉瘤) in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to. I vowed (发誓) that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1：00 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9：12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

Mr. Escalante's students were mostly Mexican Americans from a Spanish speaking area of the city.

He told them basic math was too easy and that they had the ability to do harder work. He told his students that he believed in them ，but they must have the desire to be successful.

Today, we are told, children don't spend enough time in the fresh air.Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world.They have lost touch with nature.But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service，are encouraging children to have some “wild time”．They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time to play outside.Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad.They need to be shown what to do and where to go.Andy Simpson from National Health Service says，“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids' development, independence and creativity，by giving wild time.”
So in spite of the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature's playground” is what modern children need.David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe，like me, and it has made you think about putting on your boots, getting outdoors and recalling your childhood.There's no age limit on enjoying yourself!

35．A.run B．skate
C．move D．rush

C．away D．along

38．A.dead B．hurt
C．weak D．late
解析：选A dead“死的”；hurt“受伤的”；weak“虚弱的”；late“迟的，晚的”。因为Joe 摔断了腿，而且又掉进冰裂缝，所以Simon认为他肯定无法幸存下来。所以A项正确。
39．A.secretly B．tiredly
C．immediately D．anxiously
解析：选C secretly“秘密地”；tiredly“疲惫地”；immediately“立刻，马上”；anxiously“焦虑地”。虽然他认为Joe肯定死了，但是他也不想立刻离开这个营地，就又在营地里住了下来。

However, in 1946 Mother Teresa left the school and after that, she was trained to become a nurse. She was so kind that she began helping the poor, the sick and the homeless in India. Besides, Mother Teresa opened many schools and hospitals in poor countries. While she was traveling, she called on people to help those in trouble. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the love and the service she had given to unfortunate people.
