A couple of weeks ago, my friend offered to sell some of our things for us. I thought it was a good opportunity to   31  my 7-year-old son’s room and   32  some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We   33   that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.

The night before the   34  , we loaded up (给---装货) the truck with toys and a little bike that was too   35  for him.

A little boy was   42 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was   43  free. She said yes and that he could have it for   44  . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.

Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very   45  , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering   46  they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him   47 . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had   48  . He was so happy to   49  that someone else would make good  50  of that little bike!

One day, Jack’s parents told him that his grandpa would retire after working for forty years. Jack said in surprise, “I’m only seven, so it means Grandpa has been … er… A really long time!”

Jack loved his Grandpa and wanted to do something special for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer have the position (职位) on that card, so he decided to build a new one for his grandpa.

When the big day came, Jack was ready. But he didn’t want to put his gift together with others’. He carried it around with him the whole evening.

When all the other people left, he took his grandpa’s hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift.

His grandpa smiled, “Well, it must be a beautiful gift. May I open it now?” “Sure!” Jack said excitedly.

As Grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had ever got! They were business cards with his new position: FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, “Now your full-time job is my grandpa!”

“Well, how much do I get paid?” his grandpa asked, smiling. “As many hugs (拥抱) as you want!” With these words, Jack gave Grandpa a hug. “Well, I guess that means I’m the richest man in the world!” said Grandpa.

Chocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”．Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:

A happier heart

Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart．Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow．These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症)．

Better blood pressure

If yours is high, chocolate may help．Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly．

Muscle magic

Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼)．In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks．

Better for your skin

German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day．After three months, the women’s skin was moister(滑润的)and smoother．The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance．

Brain gains

It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain．

55．Which of the following is wrong? 

A. Coca’s chemicals can prevent both cell damage and inflammation.

B. Chocolate may help you lower your blood pressure.

C. People early know chocolate is good for their health.

D. chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving.

56．What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?

A．Sports drinks are better than chocolate milk．                 

B．Sports drinks can make people easy to be tired．

C．Drinking milk can keep you energetic at work．

D．We should drink chocolate milk between times when we work hard．

57．What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Chocolate, a Healthy Food                                     B．More Chocolate, Less Health

C．Chocolate and Blood Pressure                               D．Advice on Eating Chocolate

58．What’s the meaning of “bite their tongues” in the first paragraph?

A．Think of it            B．Speak aloud   C. Stop talking      D．Listen to it

Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television．And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style．But no two shows are more opposite in content（内容）, while at the same time standing out（突出） above the others, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows．

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”．The contents on his show are as surprising as can be．For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, cheating, and hate, to a different level．Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives．

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top．But Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life．Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors．

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society．Jerry ends every show with a “final word”．He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show．Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable．

Although it is clean, the Oprah show is not for everyone．The show’s main viewers are middleclass（中产阶级） Americans．Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems．Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society．These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug．They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show．

59．Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ___．

         A．more interesting  B．more popular C．more detailed（详细的）D．more formal

60．Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____．

         A．are interested in them．                              B．have to accept them．

         C．are cold to them．                                         D．are willing to get away from them．

61．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

         A．A murder  B．Nation hatred（憎恨）C．Family income planning D．Street accidents．

62．We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____．

         A．have become the only ones of its kind． B．talks about the weaknesses in human nature．

         C．appear at different times of the day．   D．attract different people．

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

   Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.

   Do you know what a ‘territory’ is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species（物种） are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger enter your territory and threaten you, you may shout. Probably this is enough to frighten him away.

   If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

   Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

   You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has something to do with attracting mates（伴侣） and setting up territories.

63. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually________.

A. showing they are happy               B. a way of warning

C. showing they are angry               D. a way of greeting

64. What is a bird’s ‘territory’?

A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.

B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

C. An area for which birds fight against each other.  

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.

65. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A. Because they want to invite more friends.   

B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.

C. Because they want to find outsiders around. 

D. Because their singing makes themselves less frightened.

66. How does the writer explain bird’s singing?

A. By comparing birds with human beings.        B. By reporting experiment results.

C. By describing birds’ daily life.                            D. By telling a bird’s story.

Many animal lovers would like to do more to protect animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

  Think twice before you decide

  The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian（素食的） diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies known to use practices that go against the law such as using drugs to increase milk production in cows.

  Help get the word out

  Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.

  Write a letter

  We’ve all heard the saying, “ The pen is more powerful than the sword”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local law makers to let them know how important it is that they support legislation（立法） that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

  Let your actions be an example to others

  It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation （立法）that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.
