Sometimes a mother's greatest gift is the smallest detail of her child's life, freely shared.
When I was busy with my housework in the 16 , I was surprised to find the front door was 17 suddenly. Julie, our oldest child, came in. She'd been married for three months. I was still trying to get used to her 18 elsewhere. Sometimes I even set her place at the table without 19 . Julie handed me a small group of daffodils (水仙花) and said, “Guess what!” 20 she opened the box on the table and bent to see what was inside. As I put the flowers in 21 , I answered happily, “What?”
She began telling me some small 22 of her new life as she made herself a sandwich. She'd learned to make cake by herself, and her boss was 23 of her because of her hard work. We sat at the kitchen table, and I 24 her eat, listening to her every word 25 . It was a 26 visit. Julie had to go to work. I thanked her for her flowers and for her visit；then I walked to the door with her and 27 as she drove out of the yard. 28 in the kitchen I sat and looked at the flowers. My daughter's 29 was as bright and dear as the 30 spring daffodils. Suddenly, I 31 the phone and dialed(拨) my own mother's number. She lived a hundred miles away. When she 32 , I said, “Guess what!”
“What?” she answered hopefully. Like Julie I didn't have any 33 news, just little details of the day and the
children. 34 I'd come to understand in the last hour how valuable small talk can be. Just before I hung 35 , my mother

三．阅读理解（2′×20） (A)
Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboardto dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and
normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症) much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything--a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to
happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if
they’re silly for being a“scared cat”. Handling the fears is essential.
Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “You shouldn’t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke( 抚摸) it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that’s good with children, of course---then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for‘being brave’.”
36.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because .
A．they will not develop into phobias B．their influence is psychological C．they exist widely in the world D．they will disappear gradually 37.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will . A．make the same old mistake B．overcome them by themselves C．experience the worst of things D．grow up lacking self-confidence
38.According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should . A．tell the child not to be afraid of it B．show the child how to approach it C．keep the child away from it D．ask the child to stroke it
(B)
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，
according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably
2
children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on
throughout
their
lives
．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports． The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits． 39．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？___ A．Those who often do sports． B．Those who often watch television． C．Those who often have meals at home．D．Those who often walk to school． 40．The

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your
bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

Dis
．to___
moving
．
A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinions．
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.” 43.The passage tells us that .
A．people seldom work long hours to make money B．people hardly buy more things than necessary
C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place D．people realize there is more to life than just making money 44.When Daniel was a reporter he ___.

D．has been a total success
46.What does the author mean by saying%up their lives\A．People work long hours to earn their living.
B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people's life. C．People spent too much time and money eating meals. D．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people's life. (D)
Dates(枣子)have been a common food in the Middle East for thousands of years and they are especially eaten by Muslims during Ramadan(斋月节).Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran are the world's top producers of dates-but the fruit is also grown in the western U. S. state of California. First brought to the region by the Spaniards in the 18th century, the date is a money-making crop for some California farmers.
Dates are grown in Coachella Valley-a watered agricultural area in southern California. This watered desert valley is the biggest producer of dates in the United States.

Demand(需求)for dates pick up during Ramadan, and the pace quickens at Sea View's processing plant(加工厂).Dates are washed and then carefully sorted before being boxed and shipped.
But not all varieties of dates ripen(成熟) in time for Ramadan,say's Dennis Jensen \Mother Nature' s cycle. When it' s time to be ripe, which is usually in September, they' 11 be ripe. So, every year,Ramadan will show up about ten days earlier and so our date supply for the beginning of Ramadan wasn't there. So a lot of these date will he frozen for Ramadan for the following year.”
The products of these and other date farms in Coachella Valley are shipped around the world, including Europe and the Middle East. 47.The passage is clearly written for .
