In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue   1 . One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet (小鹦鹉)on my finger, I wanted to show Perky what the sky looked like. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my horror , Perky flew off. The enormous, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  2   and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all. 

I told Kathy about Perky's disappearance and I was anxious that she would blame me. But , unexpectedly, Kathy managed to   3  me. With fake optimism, she even tried to convince me that Perky would find a new    4   . But I was far too clever to   5   that such a thing was possible.

Decades later, I watched my own    6  growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the   7 of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the best of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed(宣称) to  8  the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. Then Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and ___9___that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

"The best thing about Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the  10   we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just  11   down and landed on my finger."

When I was finally able to  12 , we examined the amazing evidence. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all  13 . It seems our two families had been  14  long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were  15 ! Perky lived!"

Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how lose they were to the actual spark (闪光).

1.According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley____.

A.rains usually come without thunder and lightning.

B.it is usually dry in April

C.children pay no attention to the two natural wonders.

D.parents are not interested in thunder and lightning.

2.We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_______.

A.we were taught so by our parents from our childhood.

B.we are taken in by our sense of vision.

C.it is a common natural sight.

D.it is a truth proved by science.

3.What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?

A.Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.

B.Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.

C.Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.

D.There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.

4.The underlined word “activity”  is most closely related to the word (s) _____.

A.cloud

B.lightning strikes

C.lightning flashes

D.thunderstorms

5.It can be concluded from the passage that _______.

A.we should not believe what we see or hear.

B.things moving downward are more noticeable.

C.people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena.

D.adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.

LONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French­Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异),researchers said.

The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long­lasting without major problems.Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants,neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society,they reported.

Only three people have received face transplants.The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.In 2007,her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily,overcoming two periods of rejection.

In 2006,Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30­year­old hit by a bear.While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation,two years later the man was doing well,his doctors said.“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face,and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society,” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote.

A French team described their work on a 29­year­old man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease,an illness that changes the shape of his face.“The man,who was not named,was given a new nose,mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue,” his doctors said.

“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement,” Dr.Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri­Mondor hospital outside Paris wrote.

1.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.Face transplants can work.

B.Face transplants help regain confidence.

C.Three people have received face transplants.

D.Disfigured people need face transplants.

2.What happened to the Chinese patient mentioned in the passage?

A.He got a strange illness when he was young.

B.He received several operations in hospital.

C.He was the first person to receive a face transplant.

D.He was once attacked by an animal.

3.From the passage we can learn that ________.

A.doctors have different opinions on facial disfigurement

B.patients could regain self­confidence after face transplants

C.the new face of every patient has more functions than expected

D.it is easy for disabled people to be accepted by society

4.The underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.

A.removing

B.recovering

C.repairing

D.rejecting

5.What problem resulted from the facial operations?

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.

Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.

1.Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?

A.Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.

B.Because she did not love her grandmother.

C.Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

D.The author doesn't give the explanation.

2.It can be inferred from the text that _______________________.

A.there are two ways to keep healthy

B.emotional health has a close relationship to physical health

C.crying and laughing play the same roles

D.crying does more good to health than laughing

3.According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A.Crying is the best way to get help from others.

B.Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.

C.We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.

D.We must cry if we want to reduce pressure

4.What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A.Why We Cry

B.How to Keep Healthy

C.Power of Tears

D.New Scientific Discovery

5.What is the author's attitude to "crying"?

A.Positive.

B.Negative.

C.Touched.

D.Upset.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

The First Lesson of the New Term, a TV program about how to protect oneself in times of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, snowstorms or floods. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and willpower can help many survive.

The most recent example is from the earthquake in Sichuan Province in May of 2008. While thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed school buildings, all students from a middle school survived even without a single one being hurt. That’s because of their timely and orderly evacuations (撤离), which they had been drilled in every term.

It’s good to see this program is the most important activity of a national campaign to make students be aware of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools nationwide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in times of emergency every term.
