AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had ring the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.1..According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe’s best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep4.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because___.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that ring the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .5.Before children start speaking________.A.they need equal amount of listeningB.they need different amounts of listeningC.they are all eager to cooperate with the alts by obeying spoken instructionsD.they can’t understand and obey the alt’s oral instructions6.Children who start speaking late ________.A.may have problems with their listeningB.probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC.usually pay close attention to what they hearD.often take a long time in learning to listen properly7.A baby’s first noises are ________.A.an expression of his moods and feelingsB.an early form of languageC.a sign that he means to tell you somethingD.an imitation of the speech of alts8.The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.A.is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB.is not especially important because the changeover takes place graallyC.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD.is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless 9.The speaker implies________.A.parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD.even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingCThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, ring which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the ties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.10.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five11.When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.A.would expect to work until she diedB.was usually expected to take up paid employmentC.would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD.was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely12.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby13.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to ________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at school 参考答案:CDBAB DABDD DDC 帮你找了一些 字数限制传不上来 要是不够可以到这儿找 http://hi..com/jnm370480388/blogO(∩_∩)O~

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important proct in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Ecation is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and ecation is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.56. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.57. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and red B. grey and blackC. blue and green D. yellow and orange58. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to school B. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time59. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses 60. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher Columbus B. Costa Rica C. some procts from Costa Rica D. the ecation of Costa RicaB ★ Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food. Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.61. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better crops C. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them. B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise. D. To make money by selling them.64. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more rice B. eat more meatC. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills65. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vitaminsC. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germC ★★ America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!66. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an American B. a ChineseC. a professor D. a student67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsD ★★★ The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: “I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.” “I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.” But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.” I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”. This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success72. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.A. they’ll push you aheadB. they’ll influence you C. they’ll cover your shortcomingsD. they’ll help you achieve your goal73. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friends C. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properly75. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. musicians B. managers C. negative people D. people wanting to succeed 答案56-60 BBACB61-65 ADBDC 66-70 BDCDD 71-75 CBCBD 第三部分： 阅读理解 （共20小题； 每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。A ★ Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater. Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free. Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers. “This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report. He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”. Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.56.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month. Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy. Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.61. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job. B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site. D.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words. However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.71. According to the passage ______. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round72.

The most important ones are the Mississippi River and the Missouri River in the central part of the country, and the Colorado and Columbia River in west. There are 50 states in the United States today.
The American people are of almost every race in the world. This is because of immigrations from abroad throughout American history. The population is now over two hundred million.

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call ring sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology. It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
1．A call at midnight would mean_________.
A. the matter is less important

C. three or four days before the party date in the USA

Napoleon agreed to plans for a tunnel (隧道) under the English Channel in 1802. The British began digging one in 1880. Neither tunnel was completed. Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. y red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of </PGN0007B.TXT/PGN>the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around.
1．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A．Women are more careful.
B．There are few color-blind women.
C．Women are fonder of driving than men.
D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking
2. This passage is mainly about ________.
A．color and its surprising effects
B．women being luckier than men
C．danger caused by color blindness
D．color blindness
3．According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”， we can ________.
A．tell orange from yellow
B．see in weak light
C．kill mosquitoes
D．tell different shapes
4．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________. A．red light B．yellow light C．blue light D．green light

昨晚，我的朋友们和我一起回到了初中的校园。我们走了一圈校园，说起了在那个时候的趣事。我们很快就要上大学了，因此我们即将分离，但是我们对将来的校园生活感到高兴。突然，我的脑海中出现了一个主意，我对朋友说我们可以定一个四年后的约定，那时候我们也毕业了。朋友们很兴奋，同意我的想法。因此我们约定四年后，在这里相聚。我开始想象四年后的自己会变成什么样子，或许老师，或许商人。这个约定让我们有机会和彼此保持联系。我期待着实现这个约定。

今天，年轻一代喜欢熬夜，经过一天的工作以后，他们会在晚上出去寻找乐子，因此他们很晚才回家，然后也很晚才起来。由于他们很晚才起来，他们会忽略早餐，等待午餐，如今人们会把这种餐称为早午餐，意思是在处于早餐和午餐的时间之间吃东西。事实上，不吃早餐对我们的健康不好，我们的身体整夜都没有摄入食物，需要在早餐的时间摄入食物，这样我们的身体才有能量工作。想象一下，一台没有电的机器如何工作，而早餐就相当于电。由于早操是如此的重要，我们必须要按时进食，这样我们的身体才能好好工作，并保持健康。

上周，我的朋友叫我和她一起去拜访她的家乡，她告诉我她的家乡很美丽，因此我征求了父母的意见，他们同意了。我们决定停留一周，第一次离开家让我很开心，我就像一只鸟儿，在天空中飞翔，呼吸着自由的空气。但是第四天的时候，我开始想念父母，特别是在夜晚来临的时候，黑暗让我觉得孤单，我只是想要和父母呆在一起。直到那时我才意识到家是甜蜜的，我的父母是最可爱的人。回家对于我来说真好。

人们总是说回到甜蜜的家，毫无疑问，对每个人来说，家是很重要的。在我上高中以前，我一直和父母住在一起，因此我对家的认识并不多。在我看来，家是我住的地方。但是当我去到寄宿学校，我不得不离开家，住在学校。这是我第一次远离家。我总是想念家，我离开的时间越长，就越想念家人。当我有假期了，我就跑回家，等不及要去见家人。如今，我懂得了家的意义，这不仅仅是我住的地方，也是我的安全地带。无论我去哪里，或者遇到什么困难，我的家人都会支持我。

每年，当6月8号到来的时候，对于中国的高中生来说是个大日子，因为他们需要参加一场很重要的考试，这将会决定他们未来的大学。同时，也意味着和高中生活说再见。在每个班级，学生对他们的班主任都会留下很深刻的印象，即使他们毕业，仍然能记得班主任。做班主任是不容易的，他不得不随时跟着学生的工作，而且，大部分学生不喜欢班主任。所以当学生高中毕业了，一位班主任说感谢他的学生忍受了他三年。这些话是多么感人啊，学生也知道班主任的好意。没有班主任的监督，他们就无法走得那么远。

美好青春 Being Young Is Good
Last night, I went to my friend’s birthday party, I made some friends. We talked happily, one of my new friends showed us the pictures of the places he had been visited. We were so envious, all of us had the dream to go travel to many places, but none of us took the action. He told us that we were so young and had the energy to see the world. He told us to carry out the plan once we had the idea. What he told us is right, we are young and it is good to be young. In the old people’s eyes, we are so free and can go where we want. But most of the young people haven’t realized the right they have, they waste their youth and dare not to do what they want.
昨晚，我去了朋友的生日派对，结交了一些朋友。我们聊得很愉快，其中一个新朋友向我们展示了他去过的地方的照片。我们很羡慕，我们都有梦想要去旅游很多地方，但是没有人采取行动。他告诉我们说我们是如此的年轻，有精力去看看这个世界。他告诉我们去实施计划一旦我们有想法。他对我们说的是对的，我们年轻，年轻就是好。在老人家的眼里，我们很自由，可以到处去。但是大部分年轻人都没有意识到他们拥有的权利，他们浪费了自己的青春，不敢做自己想做的事情。

责任大于山 Responsibility Comes First
Early in the morning, I opened my computer and read the news. There was the news about a driver had the heart disease attack when he was driving the bus, there were more than 40 people in the bus. The driver stopped the bus off the road and then stopped his breath. I was so touched by the driver, in the emergency situation, he considered the passengers’ lives in the first place. It is his sense of responsibility that makes him to do it. The driver sets the good example to the public, he shows the importance of responsibility. No matter what we do, we should not forget about taking our responsibility. If people don’t take their own responsibility, then things will be out of order, the world will be in the mess. Responsibility always comes first.
一大早，我就打开电脑看新闻。有一则消息是关于一个司机在开车时心脏病发作，车上有超过40个人。司机把车开在了路边，然后停止了呼吸。我被这位司机感动，在紧急的情况下，他把乘客的生命放在第一位。正是他的责任感让他这样做。司机给大众树立了好榜样，他展示了责任的重要性。无论我们做什么，都不应该忘记履行我们的职责。如果人们不这样做，事情就会出乱，世界就会陷入混乱。责任大于山。

珍惜目前所有 Cherish What We Have
Today, as I had nothing to do, so I opened my computer and found a movie to watch. I thought about the movie that my friend asked me to watch, it was called 13 Is Going on 30. The story told about a 13 years old girl wanted to be a woman, so that she could have the beautiful face and perfect body shape. She wanted to date any handsome guy she liked. Then the magical thing happened, she became 30 and she got everything. But she felt lost, because her life was totally messed. I had the same feeling with the girl when I was at her age, I wanted to grow up quickly. But now, when I look at that age, I think it is better to cherish what I had at that time. Every stage of life has its happiness, so there is no need to skip the stage.
今天，由于我没有事情做，因此我打开电脑，寻找电影来看。我想到了我朋友叫我看的电影，叫《女孩梦三十》。这个故事讲述了一个13岁的女孩想要成为一名女人，这样她就能拥有美丽的脸庞和完美的身材。她想要和任何喜欢的英俊男孩约会。然后神奇的事情发生了，她变成了30岁的女人，并且拥有一切。但是她感到失落，因为她的生活很混乱。当我处在那个女孩年龄的时候，我和她有同样的感觉，我想要快点长大。但是如今，当我回望那个年纪，我觉得还是珍惜当时所拥有的比较好。每个年龄段都有它的快乐，因此没有必要去跨过那个阶段。

午后时光 Afternoon Time
Today was Saturday, early in the morning, I woke up and stayed at home the whole morning to watch TV. After finishing my lunch, I had nothing to do, so I decided to call my friends out. I headed to the coffee shop which was near a square. There were a lot of people in the square, some women were dancing and singing, while some men were taking the chess. I walked into the coffee shop, chose a table which was near the window, so that I could see the outside scenery. When my friends came, we talked happily, we shared the things that happened ring these days. Then all my pressure was relieved, I forgot about the annoyance on my study. At that moment, I was enjoying the time talking with my friends. I had the great time this afternoon.

奥斯卡猫似乎有一种非自然的预测能力，当护理家的病人将死亡，最后几个小时里蜷缩在他们旁边。观察到25例时确定了它的准确性，因此一旦它选择了某人，工作人员就会打电话给他的家人。它通常意味着病人只剩下不到四小时的生命了。“许多家庭成员从中得到一些安慰。感谢猫对垂死的亲人的友谊，”一个医生，布朗大学医学院助理教授Dosa说。
一只两岁的猫被作为一只小猫收养在Steere疗养院和康复中心三楼的痴呆单元，那里的设施是专门为老年痴呆症，帕金森氏病和其他疾病的人而设的。大约六个月后，工作人员注意到奥斯卡会像医生和护士一样查房。它会嗅并观察病人，然后坐在几个小时后会死去的人身边。Dosa说，奥斯卡似乎很认真工作。”这不只是一只对人友好的猫，“他说。
“奥斯卡比在这里工作的人能更好地预测死亡，”在护理之家照顾治疗患者，是绝症病人的护理专家的布朗大学的Joan Teno博士说。当奥斯卡作出第13次正确的预测时，她确信它很有天赋。观察一个病人时，Teno说，她注意到那个女人并没有吃东西，呼吸困难，她的腿出现了蓝色印记，这些迹象往往意味着死亡的临近。奥斯卡没有呆在房间里，所以Teno认为预言被打破。相反，这恰巧证明了医生的预测早了10个小时。果然，在病人的最后两小时，护士告诉Teno，奥斯卡在那个妇女的床边。
医生们说，大多数人得到那长相甜美的灰白色的猫的探访而又很可能不知道它在那里，因为他们病得太厉害了，所以病人不知道它是死亡的预测者。大多数家庭都感谢这事先提醒，虽然当家庭成员死亡时，有人希望奥斯卡走出房间。当奥斯卡被放在外面，他走来走去以表达自己的不满。
没有人能肯定奥斯卡的行为是否具有科学意义或指向某个原因。Teno想知道收养这只猫的人是否会将它感觉神秘的气味或嗅到某事的能力变成护理行为。养老院工作人员不关心不解释奥斯卡，只要它给垂死的人的家人一个更好的道别机会。工作人员最近给奥斯卡在墙上的挂了一个招牌，公开称赞它的“同情心”。
