The Day My Father Almost Drowned Me
Dad used to be a devoted fisherman. He tried to get me interested as well, but it never seemed much fun to me. The line always seemed to tangle(缠结), the worms(虫)would not hold still, the hooks(挂钩)were sharp, and Dad always seemed to want to go someplace far away, so that you had to get up in the middle of the night.
One time when I was about ten years old, my dad took me fishing to the American Falls reservoir (I think that's where it was). Our neighbor Wayne Booth had built a kayak(皮船), which was painted bright blue, and Dad thought we could row out onto the reservoir(划到水库)and catch some fish. I don't remember whether we caught any fish or not. I think I was having more fun

rowing the kayak, which is rowed facing forward with a double-ended oar(船桨), unlike an ordinary row-boat, which I never liked because you couldn't see where you were going. But mid-afternoon the wind came up a little. We were maybe a hundred feet from shore, when the wind caught my hat and blew it into the water just a few feet away. Dad said, \and reached out for the hat.
Now, a kayak is a very skillfully balanced thing, and Dad's reaching for the hat was just enough to upset the balance and tip us over. I didn't know how to swim yet, and thought I was a goner. Dad did, too, I think, because he was grabbing for me madly until we realized that the water was only about four feet deep.
Mother was not too pleased when we got home, soaking wet, and I think she thought Dad was creating the story a little so that it wouldn't sound like he had really almost drowned(溺死)me. 24. How many people are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 25. Which of the following can describe my father?

a. Dad grabbed for me madly. b. Our neighbor built a kayak. c. Dad and I fell into water. d. My hat was blown into the water. A. a, b, c, d B. b, d, c, a C. C, d, a, b D. b, a, d, c 27. What does the writer want to express by saying \A. He was going to be saved. B. He was going to be drowned. C. He was going to be beaten. D. He was lucky to leave.

Radio proved its importance during World War II(1939-45)with almost immediate coverage of events. Between 1941 and 1945, Americans tuned in to listen to breaking news from Europe, hearing about major battles and the bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii just moments after the

actual events. News reporters such as Edward R. Murrow(1908-1965)and William Shirer (1904-1993) offered insightful(有深刻见解的)commentary and straight, hard news. Their example would influence the news anchors(新闻广播员)on the new media-television, commonly called TV-for decades. Radio's golden age ended with the war.
The 1940s were the true beginning of the TV era. Although sets had been available as early as the late 1930s, the widespread distribution and sale of TV sets did not really take off until after the war. Broadcasting stations ignored many of their radio stations and poured money into TV after the war. Soon many radio dramas, variety shows, and comedy programs were available on TV and radio was left with mostly music. For children, new shows like Kukla, Fran, and Ollie and The Howdy Doody Show offered laughs. One of the most popular early TV programs was a variety show called Texaco Star Theater, starring comedian Milton Berle(1908-2002), that started in 1948.
As the decade continued, more and more people bought TV sets. Instead of circling around their radios, people would settle in front of their TVs for news and entertainment. As TV became more popular, the government set up regulations to ensure competition between stations, channels (频道), and programs. The 1950s would see the new medium change dramatically(明显的)with the introduction of color and other technological advances. 28. Which of the following is right according to the passage? A. TV played an important role in World War II. B. Radio disappeared with the end of World War II.
C. R. Murrow and William Shirer are excellent news reporters.
D. Americans picked up the bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii just before the actual event. 29. What does the underlined part \A. Copy. B. Remove. C. Be popular. D. Leave. 30. What can we learn from the last passage? A. TVs has taken the place of radios.
B. The government made rules to limit the development of TVs.
C. During the 1950s TV changed better with the introduction of new energy technology.

D. As time went on, less and less people prefer radios. 31. What's the best title for the passage?
A. TV and Radio in the 1940s B. Why Do People Prefer TVs C. The History of Radio and TV D. The Importance of TV and Radio

Children born in Asia are less likely to develop an allergy(过敏)to nuts than those born in Australia, according to Australian scientists.
A questionnaire from University of Melbourne distributed to 57, 000 five-year-old children in the state of Victoria found that, of those voted, none of the children born in Asia then migrated(迁移)to Australia had an allergy to nuts.
However, children with Asian parents born in Australia were found to be up to three times more likely to develop an allergy to nuts than children with Australian parents.
The findings have led researchers to believe that the Asian environment somehow protects children against developing many food allergies.
Professor Katie Allen, who led the University of Melbourne research, said that this discovery could help us understand why allergy rates were rising in Australia and possibly lead to the development of a treatment.
\last 20 to 30 years so we know it's something to do with modern lifestyle,\interview on Wednesday.
\back the tide.\
Allen theorized that there were three contributing factors to the Asian environment preventing allergies from developing; Vitamin D, allergen exposure and exposure to a greater variety of organisms.
\public health so their immune system is healthy and able to fight off allergies,\
