If feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War? She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. “Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed coworker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary. I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future. 【1】Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writer’s studies. B. The writer’s future job. C. Dinner plans. D. Wars around the world. 【2】We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother________. A. doesn’t want the writer to major in English B. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor C. gets along very well with the writer D. doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea 【3】The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”． A. agrees B. shouts C. complains D. smiles 【4】Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer? A. He wants to be like his mother’s coworker’s son. B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future. C. He doesn’t think his mother’s coworker’s son is perfect. D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future. |

Whether you’re headed to another country for business or pleasure, it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States. But if you plan to do that using your cell phone, you could have an unwelcome surprise — U.S. cell phones don’t work abroad. U.S. companies use different forms of technology, not like most of the international community, including Europe. However, there is an easy, cost-effective solution to staying in touch while you’re traveling. You can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries you’re visiting. Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes free incoming calls, free voicemail and call waiting services. The service is convenient and simple.

The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface,but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas,except at the core.In the core of the sun,the pressures are so great against the gases that,despite the high temperature,there may be a small solid core.However,no one really knows,since the center of the sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun,the zones are the corona,chromosphere,photosphere,convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins. The sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979.At any other time,the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays. The corona is a brilliant,pearly white,filmy light,about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike（一束束穗状）rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest at the sun's equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the earth,they are weak and invisible. 【1】Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ________ A.size B.age C.location D.temperature 【2】All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the ________. A.cornoa B.core C.photospere D.chromosphere 【3】Accroding the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become ______. A.hotter B.clearer C.thinner D.stronger 【4】The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following? A.The remaining layers of the sun. B.The evolution of the sun to its present form. C.The eclipse of February 1979. D.Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona. |

Travel can be a lifesaver. The right vacation at the right time can give new life to your whole year, not to mention your body and mind. But in today's economy, with airlines adding new fees almost daily and ticket prices sharply on the rise, many have canceled travel as it is too expensive. 【1】 Early bird gets the deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. 【2】Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest, but it is a good idea to check every five hours to track prices as they change throughout the day. Also, it's a good idea to check again at 5 p.m. when the airlines are trying hardest to fill empty seats. Avoid the crowds. 【3】. The lowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more vacant (空着的) seats, the airlines will lower prices and offer better deals to get people to fly during this time of the year. Right time, “wrong” place? By flying to popular destinations at unpopular times, you can secure the best prices from travel companies and airlines. Here's where flexibility in your planning can pay off. Going to the airline websites and planning your vacation around the best ticket prices offered can result in a fun, cost-effective vacation. 【4】 【5】 Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available and they are definitely worth a look. Often, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. A.Package Deals. B.Save Money,and Save Time. C.Fly to popular places at unpopular times. D.These deals are especially good on last minute package. E.Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. F.And maybe it can widen your horizons to a place you might never have considered. G.However,with a few tricks,there are still many great deals to be had on air tickets. |

Seeing what had happened, I called 120 immediately. While waiting the ambulance, I took down my coat to keep the old man warm. In no time did the ambulance came.
