Temperature is part of my married romance. 36 to New York from Baltimore——where there is just one small snowstorm each year——I was seated by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 37 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding. My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario（加拿大的安大略省）, where winter 38 from September to May and cold wind is 39 . “When Canadians have -30℃, they 40 it bravely,” he says, “Cold wind is for crybabies.（爱哭的人）” So to marry this man I had to learn to 41 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots——comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 43 meaning getting serious. That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d 44 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48 . 49 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am 52 , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater. The word comfortable did not 53 refer to being satisfied. It’s from Latin, comfortare, meaning to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter；not to make us comfortable, but to make us 54 . We 55 not be warm but we are indeed comforted. 1.A. Coming B.

Last year．I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC．I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended．Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her．But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money．I just need help finding the post office．” In an instant, I realized what I had done．I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself． The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15．I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister．Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer． In my own life, I have experienced prejudice．I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me． But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness．She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚)．By the way, I helped that lady to the post office．I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson． 1.How did the writer give the blind woman money? A．In a modest way B．In a polite way C．In an impatient way． D．In a painful way 2.According to the text, the writer__________． A．still lives a poor life B．was busy with his work C．was born in Honduras D．was a native of Washington D．C． 3.According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should__________． A．be nice to the elderly and the disabled B．try to experience different kinds of culture C．treat others equally with love and respect D．think about one’s past as often as possible 4.What would be the best title of the text? A．A priceless lesson B．An act of prejudice C．A sightseeing trip D．A humble moment

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.” Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.” Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. 1. “The door to his room is always shut” in the first paragraph suggests that the son______. A. is always busy with his studies B. doesn’t want to be disturbed C. keeps himself away from his parents D. begins to dislike his parents 2.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that______. A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before B. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 3. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph? A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 4.What can be learned from the passage? A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money．One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax．Whether he is a businessman, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else．This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government． Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewellery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops．We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper． People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on the things that they and their families need．We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid．Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it． Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided．We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements, but there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue．So we have no real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens． 1.Indirect tax means _______． A．tax that one pays direct to the government B．tax that is not paid directly to the government C．tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods D．Both B and C 2.Which of the following is right? A．Taxes are paid to the sellers． B．Income-tax is an indirect tax． C．The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government． D．Tax is amount of money that you have to pay to the government so that it can pay for public services． 3.People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because _______． A．some shopkeepers are very rich B．they need money to buy goods from abroad C．their children need education D．the money is spent on the things that they and their families need
