第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分。）
A
Being an astronaut sou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nds cool, doesn't it In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.
However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show – because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off your eye．．．They just kind of stay there." Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is painful like crazy." Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub(擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe（擦） the tears away. Another choice is to just wait – "When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.
There are lots of small things – things like crying that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp, because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.
Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."
21. What can we conclude from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space．
B. Astronaut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s produce fewer tears in space．
C. Tears produced in space flow down more slowly．
D. Tears pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oduced in space don't flow downward．
22. What effect do tears have on astronauts
A. They cause physical pain． B. They bring comfort to them．
C. They make their vision clearer. D. They float around and cause trouble．
23. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears
A. Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward．
B. Rub his eyes by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hand to let the tears float around．
C. Get the tears big enough to fall off his eyes．
D. Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes．
24. What's the seco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd-to-last paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space．
B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space．
C. Why burping is impossible in space．
D. Things that humans can't do without gravity．
B
Precision agricul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ture (精确农业) is a way of thinking about how to improve production and get more from existing resources. It often involves the use of technology. An example found mostly in wealthier countries is a computer guided tractor. The computer does most of the driving. It uses signals from satellites in the Global Positioning System. GPS technology helps the tractor cut rows in straight lines and put the right amount of fertilizer（化肥） in the right place.
Jimmy Messick is a f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )armer in northern Virginia, not far from Washington. He says the GPS guidance system makes it easy to come back later and plant the seed in his fields of corn. Because of the GPS guidance, Messick now pays half what he once did for fertilizer. Bruce Erickson is an agronomist (农学家) at Purdue University in Indiana. He says saving even a little bit of seed, pesticide（农药） or fertilizer leads directly to cost savings and less environmental damage.
Raj Khosla is an agronomist at Colorado State University. He says farmers in the developing world can use precision agriculture even without high tech tractors. "We do not necessarily have to have complex, large machines to practice what could be done as simply as using bottle caps," Mr Khosla says. The idea is to use a bottle cap to pour a measured amount of fertilizer right next to each plant. It takes more work than simply throwing handfuls of fertilizer across a field. But Mr Khosla says when researchers taught this bottle cap method to farmers in sub Saharan Africa, they discovered that it was worth the extra effort if they could only afford a small amount of fertilizer. "There was a huge difference, more than double, in terms of productivity," Mr Khosla says.
Of course, new tec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hnology is not always so cheap. But Mr Khosla says farmers could form a cooperative or combine their resources to pay for new equipment. He and other researchers worked with a farmer in India to precisely level his wheat fields. That kept the fields from developing wet and dry areas that reduced productivity. The farmer also added better fertilizer and insect control. As a result, he was able to grow almost three times as much wheat on the same amount of land. Mr Khosla says with the extra money the farmer made and a small loan, he bought his own precision leveler. And now, for a fee, he offers that as a service to his neighbors and other farmers.
25. With GPS technology, farmers can________.
A. apply fertilizer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) precisely B. cut rows without using tractors
C. find the way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to their fields easily D. connect with their family conveniently
26. The example of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the bottle cap method intends to show precision agriculture________.
A. is worth the extra effort B. saves both money and time
C. takes more work than the traditional way
D. can be put into practice without high tech tractors
27. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage the common advantage(s) about precision agriculture is (are) ________．
A. reducing the amount of time and fertilizer
B. saving both cost and human strength
C. solving the problem of pest and disease damage
D. increasing productivity and protecting the environment
28. We can con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )clude from the passage that precision agriculture________.
A. has become a trend B. is a good investment（投资）
C. means extra but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )worthwhile work D. is an expensive and unpopular way
C
Go on a slow jog fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r just five minutes a day and you may gain a few extra years of life. This is all according to an American study, which focuses on the effect of jogging on life span（寿命）. According to the research, even a short period of time may improve your chances of avoiding cardio ( 心的) and vascular (血管) diseases, which may lead to premature death.
"From a more traditi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onal health perspective（前景）, five minutes sounds brave. But if it is energetic, intensive and the running steps are swift, why ever not " said a medical doctor Tommi Vasankari from the UKK institute, as he considers the health benefits of quick spurts (冲刺) of exercise.
The researchers select ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed 55,000 clients from health centers and got through information collected over a period of 15 years. Of the sample, approximately one fourth of individuals claimed to have running as a hobby. From studying the information of those who passed away during the time period, it was evident that runners had a 45 percent lesser risk of dying from heart disease. Running increased the average life span by three years.
Then, the research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers faced a surprise: the amount run by the individuals had no effect on life span. The findings were then published in The New York Times newspaper. According to Vasankari, the findings should be treated with care, because the individuals themselves were the sources of the information used in the study. "It is not objectively measured data. It makes it difficult to know whether an individual has run on average five or seven minutes."
Quick jogs, however ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), have reached the standard of health recommendations, Vasankari continues. According to American recommendations, heavy exercise should be practiced for an hour and fifteen minutes each week.
29. Among 55,000 clients, about ____ people take running as a hobby.
A. 2200 B. 14,000 C. 28,000 D. 42,000
30. In the opinion of Vasankari, __________.
A. he ignored the be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nefits of jogging B. jogging actually does him good
C. quick jogs are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) worth considering D. people should start heavy exercise
31. What’s the purpose of the author writing this passage
A. To encourage people to take up jog every day.
B. To show jogging plays a key role in our daily life.
C. To tell us five-minute jogging a day can increase life.
D. To analyse why scientists focus on the study of jogging.
D
As thermal power（火 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )力发电） companies have long been major sources causing air pollution in China, the government has decided to provide power price subsidies(津贴) for environmental-reformed thermal power stations. The Yiyang Power Plant in central China's Hunan Province is constructing facilities of desulfurization(脱硫), denitrification (脱氮), and dust-extraction. Once completed, the facilities will work to purify exhaust flue gases and reduce over 90 percent of pollutants（污染物）.
Under the governmen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t's new power pricing policies, the Yiyang Power Plant will receive 0.023 yuan per kilowatt hour in government subsidies. Feng Ping, director of the Office of Power Price Management in Hunan said, "The power plant’s enthusiasm of denitrification has greatly increased. The reformation of facilities at thermal power plants in Hunan will be completed by the end of next year and put into operation."
Meanwhile, the Chinese government has also raised electricity prices for industries plagued(困扰) by high energy consumption and over-capacity, such as steel and cement. A cement plant in the city of Shaoguan in south China's Guangdong Province has stopped operation due to a substantial increase in electricity price. Yu Bolin is head of the cement plant. "The production of one-ton cement consumes 125 kilowatt hours of electricity, and the cost of that amount of electricity has now increased by more than 30 yuan. However, the profit of one-ton cement was only 20 to 30 yuan. Therefore, the price hike of electricity squeezes out our profits."
Yu says he is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now planning to transform his plant to produce environmental-friendly construction materials so as to enjoy lower electricity prices. Apart from the cement sector, the National Development and Reform Commission has planned to carry out the different power pricing measures in industries of flat glass, steel, electrolytic aluminum and others to control over-capacity. The measures have been carried out in Guangdong in advance. The Guangdong government has also introduced preferential measures to underdeveloped areas to encourage growth. Xie Zhenhua, vice chairman of NDRC, says China is likely to achieve this year's goal of energy consumption reduction.
32. What’s th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e function of the Yiyang Power Plant’s constructing facilities
A. To clean gases and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) decrease pollutants. B. To reduce the price of gases.
C. To improve the envi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ronment. D. To reduce air and water pollution.
33. According to Feng Ping, we can learn that _____.
A. he is director of the Office of Power Price Management in Yiyang
B. the reformation of facilities at thermal power plants in Hunan will be a dream
C. the power plant’s e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nthusiasm of denitrification has been greatly improved
D. the reformation of facilities will be carried out at once
34. According to Yu Bolin, we can conclude that_____.
A. he is in charge of the cement plant in Hunan
B. the cement ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )plant produces environmental-friendly materials to achieve higher electricity prices
C. to enjoy lowe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r electricity prices, he’ll manufacture environmental-friendly materials
D. he has planned to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )transform his plant to carry out the different power pricing measures
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. China reacts to air pollution.
B. China is sparing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) no efforts to better the environment and set up environmental-reformed thermal power stations.
C. Thermal power companies have long been causing air pollution.
D. China is likel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to achieve this year’s goal of energy consumption reduction.

My nephew’s 10-y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to 41 inside and joined him in a game. After 42 for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I 43 my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few enjoyable
44 of peace and quiet.
"Look，Alice, " he said enthusiastically as he 45 over to the chair where I was sitting "I found a kite. Could we go outside and 46 it "
Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed it was 47 outside. "I'm sorry. Tripper," I said, sad to see his 48 eyes. "The wind is not 49 today. The kite won't fly."

I asked, "How did it 54 "
"Fine," he said, not wanting to admit 55 . "I got it to fly some. "
As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the 56 ."
At that moment I heard another voice speak to my 57 . "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 58 waiting for the wind."

Dear headmaster,,
I’m writing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to tell you about the discussion we had last week at our class meeting about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ferent opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%)think our parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
While about 30%of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
In my opinion, it w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould be a better way for parents not to accompany us students
to improve our abili ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ties of being independent .We are able to grow up by ourselves.

（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分。）
A
Being an astronaut sou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nds cool, doesn't it In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.
However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show – because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off your eye．．．They just kind of stay there." Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is painful like crazy." Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub(擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe（擦） the tears away. Another choice is to just wait – "When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.
There are lots of small things – things like crying that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp, because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.
Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."
21. What can we conclude from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space．
B. Astronaut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s produce fewer tears in space．
C. Tears produced in space flow down more slowly．
D. Tears pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oduced in space don't flow downward．
22. What effect do tears have on astronauts
A. They cause physical pain． B. They bring comfort to them．
C. They make their vision clearer. D. They float around and cause trouble．
23. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears
A. Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward．
B. Rub his eyes by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hand to let the tears float around．
C. Get the tears big enough to fall off his eyes．
D. Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes．
24. What's the seco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd-to-last paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space．
B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space．
C. Why burping is impossible in space．
D. Things that humans can't do without gravity．

Precision agricul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ture (精确农业) is a way of thinking about how to improve production and get more from existing resources. It often involves the use of technology. An example found mostly in wealthier countries is a computer guided tractor. The computer does most of the driving. It uses signals from satellites in the Global Positioning System. GPS technology helps the tractor cut rows in straight lines and put the right amount of fertilizer（化肥） in the right place.
Jimmy Messick is a f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )armer in northern Virginia, not far from Washington. He says the GPS guidance system makes it easy to come back later and plant the seed in his fields of corn. Because of the GPS guidance, Messick now pays half what he once did for fertilizer. Bruce Erickson is an agronomist (农学家) at Purdue University in Indiana. He says saving even a little bit of seed, pesticide（农药） or fertilizer leads directly to cost savings and less environmental damage.
Raj Khosla is an agronomist at Colorado State University. He says farmers in the developing world can use precision agriculture even without high tech tractors. "We do not necessarily have to have complex, large machines to practice what could be done as simply as using bottle caps," Mr Khosla says. The idea is to use a bottle cap to pour a measured amount of fertilizer right next to each plant. It takes more work than simply throwing handfuls of fertilizer across a field. But Mr Khosla says when researchers taught this bottle cap method to farmers in sub Saharan Africa, they discovered that it was worth the extra effort if they could only afford a small amount of fertilizer. "There was a huge difference, more than double, in terms of productivity," Mr Khosla says.
Of course, new tec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hnology is not always so cheap. But Mr Khosla says farmers could form a cooperative or combine their resources to pay for new equipment. He and other researchers worked with a farmer in India to precisely level his wheat fields. That kept the fields from developing wet and dry areas that reduced productivity. The farmer also added better fertilizer and insect control. As a result, he was able to grow almost three times as much wheat on the same amount of land. Mr Khosla says with the extra money the farmer made and a small loan, he bought his own precision leveler. And now, for a fee, he offers that as a service to his neighbors and other farmers.
25. With GPS technology, farmers can________.
A. apply fertilizer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) precisely B. cut rows without using tractors
C. find the way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to their fields easily D. connect with their family conveniently
26. The example of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the bottle cap method intends to show precision agriculture________.
A. is worth the extra effort B. saves both money and time
C. takes more work than the traditional way
D. can be put into practice without high tech tractors
27. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage the common advantage(s) about precision agriculture is (are) ________．
A. reducing the amount of time and fertilizer
B. saving both cost and human strength
C. solving the problem of pest and disease damage
D. increasing productivity and protecting the environment
28. We can con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )clude from the passage that precision agriculture________.
A. has become a trend B. is a good investment（投资）
C. means extra but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )worthwhile work D. is an expensive and unpopular way
C
Go on a slow jog fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r just five minutes a day and you may gain a few extra years of life. This is all according to an American study, which focuses on the effect of jogging on life span（寿命）. According to the research, even a short period of time may improve your chances of avoiding cardio ( 心的) and vascular (血管) diseases, which may lead to premature death.
"From a more traditi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onal health perspective（前景）, five minutes sounds brave. But if it is energetic, intensive and the running steps are swift, why ever not " said a medical doctor Tommi Vasankari from the UKK institute, as he considers the health benefits of quick spurts (冲刺) of exercise.
The researchers select ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed 55,000 clients from health centers and got through information collected over a period of 15 years. Of the sample, approximately one fourth of individuals claimed to have running as a hobby. From studying the information of those who passed away during the time period, it was evident that runners had a 45 percent lesser risk of dying from heart disease. Running increased the average life span by three years.
Then, the research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers faced a surprise: the amount run by the individuals had no effect on life span. The findings were then published in The New York Times newspaper. According to Vasankari, the findings should be treated with care, because the individuals themselves were the sources of the information used in the study. "It is not objectively measured data. It makes it difficult to know whether an individual has run on average five or seven minutes."
Quick jogs, however ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), have reached the standard of health recommendations, Vasankari continues. According to American recommendations, heavy exercise should be practiced for an hour and fifteen minutes each week.
29. Among 55,000 clients, about ____ people take running as a hobby.
A. 2200 B. 14,000 C. 28,000 D. 42,000
30. In the opinion of Vasankari, __________.
A. he ignored the be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nefits of jogging B. jogging actually does him good
C. quick jogs are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) worth considering D. people should start heavy exercise
31. What’s the purpose of the author writing this passage
A. To encourage people to take up jog every day.
B. To show jogging plays a key role in our daily life.
C. To tell us five-minute jogging a day can increase life.
D. To analyse why scientists focus on the study of jogging.
D
As thermal power（火 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )力发电） companies have long been major sources causing air pollution in China, the government has decided to provide power price subsidies(津贴) for environmental-reformed thermal power stations. The Yiyang Power Plant in central China's Hunan Province is constructing facilities of desulfurization(脱硫), denitrification (脱氮), and dust-extraction. Once completed, the facilities will work to purify exhaust flue gases and reduce over 90 percent of pollutants（污染物）.
Under the governmen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t's new power pricing policies, the Yiyang Power Plant will receive 0.023 yuan per kilowatt hour in government subsidies. Feng Ping, director of the Office of Power Price Management in Hunan said, "The power plant’s enthusiasm of denitrification has greatly increased. The reformation of facilities at thermal power plants in Hunan will be completed by the end of next year and put into operation."
Meanwhile, the Chinese government has also raised electricity prices for industries plagued(困扰) by high energy consumption and over-capacity, such as steel and cement. A cement plant in the city of Shaoguan in south China's Guangdong Province has stopped operation due to a substantial increase in electricity price. Yu Bolin is head of the cement plant. "The production of one-ton cement consumes 125 kilowatt hours of electricity, and the cost of that amount of electricity has now increased by more than 30 yuan. However, the profit of one-ton cement was only 20 to 30 yuan. Therefore, the price hike of electricity squeezes out our profits."
Yu says he is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now planning to transform his plant to produce environmental-friendly construction materials so as to enjoy lower electricity prices. Apart from the cement sector, the National Development and Reform Commission has planned to carry out the different power pricing measures in industries of flat glass, steel, electrolytic aluminum and others to control over-capacity. The measures have been carried out in Guangdong in advance. The Guangdong government has also introduced preferential measures to underdeveloped areas to encourage growth. Xie Zhenhua, vice chairman of NDRC, says China is likely to achieve this year's goal of energy consumption reduction.
32. What’s th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e function of the Yiyang Power Plant’s constructing facilities
A. To clean gases and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) decrease pollutants. B. To reduce the price of gases.
C. To improve the envi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ronment. D. To reduce air and water pollution.
33. According to Feng Ping, we can learn that _____.
A. he is director of the Office of Power Price Management in Yiyang
B. the reformation of facilities at thermal power plants in Hunan will be a dream
C. the power plant’s e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nthusiasm of denitrification has been greatly improved
D. the reformation of facilities will be carried out at once
34. According to Yu Bolin, we can conclude that_____.
A. he is in charge of the cement plant in Hunan
B. the cement ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )plant produces environmental-friendly materials to achieve higher electricity prices
C. to enjoy lowe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r electricity prices, he’ll manufacture environmental-friendly materials
D. he has planned to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )transform his plant to carry out the different power pricing measures
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. China reacts to air pollution.
B. China is sparing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) no efforts to better the environment and set up environmental-reformed thermal power stations.
C. Thermal power companies have long been causing air pollution.
D. China is likel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to achieve this year’s goal of energy consumption reduction.

My nephew’s 10-y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to 41 inside and joined him in a game. After 42 for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I 43 my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few enjoyable

"Look，Alice, " he said enthusiastically as he 45 over to the chair where I was sitting "I found a kite. Could we go outside and 46 it "
Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed it was 47 outside. "I'm sorry. Tripper," I said, sad to see his 48 eyes. "The wind is not 49 today. The kite won't fly."

I asked, "How did it 54 "
"Fine," he said, not wanting to admit 55 . "I got it to fly some. "
As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the 56 ."
At that moment I heard another voice speak to my 57 . "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 58 waiting for the wind."
And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 59 what we want to do. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（精疲力竭） our own 60 . We must learn how to rely on it in the first place!

Dear headmaster,,
I’m writing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to tell you about the discussion we had last week at our class meeting about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ferent opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%)think our parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
While about 30%of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
In my opinion, it w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould be a better way for parents not to accompany us students
to improve our abili ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ties of being independent .We are able to grow up by ourselves.
