Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more 19 Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his 20 .

I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her 28 the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the 29 for a month. When they returned from the hospital, it seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
After that, every day in the morning and 30 , my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious 31 .
The doctor had said my father would 32 in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
"Susan, don't worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." 33 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet 34 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our 35 . Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
40. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should_________.
A. discuss it with others
B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook
D. practise reading it aloud
41. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fun_ction of poetry? ____________
A. Extending your life.
B. Saving your life
C. Criticizing life
D. Heightening life
42. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ______________.
A. to understand life
B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers
D. to become poets
43. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _________
A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers --- Survey
LONDON (Reuters) ----- Dealing with the dissatisfaction of aging and unreliable office computers leads to workers’ unhappiness and more sick leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.
A survey carried out by care4@free.net of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of the computer equipment.
“We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and most advanced nations,” said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It’s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,” White added.
A quarter of these using outdated computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “ very dissatisfied “ with their everyday job compared to the percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.
The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use old computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.
Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled than of men.
White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment can also be a source of worry. “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is no question about it; but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction.”
44. The underlined word “this” (paragraph 3) refers to ______.
A. workplace dissatisfaction B. computer use in most jobs
C. the aging off office computers D. the survey by care4@ free. net
45. How many office workers use old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?
A. 16% B. 25% C. 35% D. 55%
46. According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?
A. Most office workers use old computers.
B. They do some of their work with computers.
C. Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.
D. They are easier to be satisfied with new technology.
47. What is the subject of the news story?
A. Poor working conditions in offices
B. Research work of the Work Foundation
C. Influence of technology in the workplace.
D. Different attitudes to old computers.

The discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的)” human being” who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family .This “Flores Human” was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.
It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石)from our own species, Homo sapiens (智人)；and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside structure (结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp’s, despite being just a third the size of ours.
This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人).When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping----even improving----mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.
Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.” Wills says. Did “Flores Human” possess the basic components of human culture---such as the burying of the dead with ceremony ? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia’s hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.
48.According to the passage , “Flores Human”______.
lived a partly human life
was a branch of Homo sapiens
used tools before Homo sapiens arrived
had a brain as a common chimp’s
49.The underlined part “this tiny human” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. a chimp . B. Flores Human C. Homo sapiens D. Homo erectus
50.This passage mainly talks about______.
A. the tools made by “Flores Human”
B. the language used by “Flores Human”
C. the evolution of “Flores Human”
D. the major surprising findings about “Flores Human”
51.According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human”_______.
was dwarfed by its enemies B. could use language
C. left a lot of fossils in hot and wet environment D. reached Flores 40,000 years ago

Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
52. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless. B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over. D. He misses it as a grown-up
53. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because .
A. children could not make proper judgments.
B. children were curious and eager about life
C. things appeared really big in children’s eyes
D. to grow up seemed so long for children
54. The world seems to have become smaller to the author because .
A. life is disappointing B. time goes by too fast
C. he has had too many surprises D. foods no longer taste delicious
55. The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to .
A. act like a child B. live an unusual life
C. make the crowd laugh D. regain his childhood

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion .Some students tend to think that it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school. They point out that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. Additionally, it’s a fashion.
However, most teachers hold the view that it is not necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school. They argue that middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. What’s more, it is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other.
As far as I am concerned, I think following the fashion is understandable.But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.
Yours truly，
