**A Miracle (奇迹) of Tears
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 21 . The rivers were long gone back into the 22 . If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed (目击) the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he disappeared 23 the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
I went back to making sandwiches, thinking that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 24 , he was once again toward the woods. This 25 went on for an hour—walked 26 to the woods, and ran back to the house.
27 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 28 him on his journey.
As I leaned in (屈身) to spy on him. I saw the most 29 sight. Several large deer were is front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground obviously suffering from dehydration(脱水) and heat exhaustion. Lifting its head with 30 effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 31 .
When the water was 32 , Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had shut off. Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流)began to creep out. When he stood up and began to 33 , I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 34 ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.

A
When I was seven years old, my family created an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

A. Ants Fear Adversity B. My Family and Ants

**B
Imagine this: a television screen the size and thickness of a piece of paper. You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show. Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled.
Nanotechnology（纳米技术）is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks. For example, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒). Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to help organs (器官) that are not working properly.
Think of the possibilities in using such tiny machines in surgery. Imagine machines so small you can swallow them in a pill or inject them into your bloodstream through a needle. After you’ve had too many years of junk food, these tiny robots could be sent into your arteries（动脉）to clean them. An intelligent machine in your heart would look around to find the problem and then repair it. If you needed an operation, it would be almost like swallowing the surgeon.
When could all of this happen Scientists predict that much of this is possible in the next 30 years. Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines. Nanotechnology is just around the corner.

*C
Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love for its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
( ) 43. According to the passage, what should be considered first in buying a dog
A. The age of the dog.
B. The size and characteristics of the dog.
C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.
D. Whether the dog can set up a good relationship with human beings.
( ) 44. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat

( ) 45. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old
A. They are less likely to run away.
B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.
C. It’s easier for them to get used to the surroundings (环境).

Most of the time, you will be looking for jobs. Sometimes you won’t be able to find a good job. Another disadvantage is the place you live in. If you want to be a musician, you usually have to move to an area that has a lot of jobs, such as New York City. The cost of living in these areas is usually very high.
