Liu Feng Blog My 18th Birthday 2010- 4-14 9:29:2 |
|
Today is my 18th birthday, which means that from now on, I am an adult, so it is very fresh to me. I can not forget the happiness and love that my family and friends have given me. To show their love and affection, they held a great ceremony for me at home, and also sent me many kinds of presents, which have left me with great memories. However, the most unforgettable thing is : a small gift from my English teacher, Jesse. This morning, after class, Jesse approached me and said “Happy Birthday and here is a card for you”. After thanking him, I carefully opened it: “Dear Liu Feng, I sincerely hope the 18th birthday will bring you great happiness all through your life. I have been with you for almost one year, and I find you are a good boy. You are working hard and doing fine in your study, and also I’d like you to have a little change in yourself. Since last month, when you failed in the exam, you have become shy and passive, you seem to have closed your world from others and hesitate to be together with them, which I think is not good for you.

C．Want a Mini Cooper but can’t fit the family inside? Get one for the kids. They can jump into this Mini car, which comes in hot orange with a single adjustable seat, and ride away. But it could spoil them for that used car they’ll be driving when they turn 16.

You can have a room in a 4-bedroom flat about $ 100 a month.
以下是个人的信息，请匹配他们最想了解的广告。
56．Austin E. Meredith, who graduated Northwest Normal university in 1985 and has worked for 14 years and now an expert in a research institute on morality and education in the city. He wrote several works concerning about psychological behavior, issues on educational management, etc. He’s a scholar full of creativity and passion.
57．Johnson Bolton, a professor of macroeconomics, is currently on a tour to Shenzhen, China and is due to give a lecture on the tendency of the world economy in Shenzhen People’s Auditorium soon. He’s keen on the information and news about the eastern world.
58．Luise Chen, a would-be Chinese senior high school graduate, is longing for a certain international higher education. She’s never been abroad and eagerly know something about international recognition, the degree, yearly tuition fees and accommodation.
59．Philip Wong, a young overseas Chinese as an engineer from a Singapore electronic corporation, has just arrived in Shenzhen for China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) , which is now the largest and most influential in China about technological and technical achievements covering trades, exhibitions, forums, technologies and investment projects.
60．Patrick Henry, an energetic teenager aged 16, feels like physics at school, fascinated with automotive vehicles, especially the distinguished British actor---Mr. Bean’s--- mini cooper. As a consequence, he teaches himself mechanics and learn to maintain machines timely.
In “Relax, We’ll Be Fine”, columnist David Brooks writes, “the fact is, despite all the problems, America’s future is extremly bright.”
Mr. Brooks acknowledges that “According to recent survey, 60 percent of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. The same percentage believe that the U.S. is in long-term decline. The political system is not functional. A financial crisis looks unavoidable. There are plenty of reasons to be sad.”
But, he writes:
“Demographers(人口学家) predict that over the next 40 years, the U.S. population will increase by an additional 100 million people, to 400 million over all. The population will be determined, hardworking and relatively young. In 2050, only a quarter will be over 60, compared with 31 percent in China and 41 percent in Japan.”
As the rising generation leads an economic recovery, it will also participate in a communal
(of community) one. We are living in a global age of social entrepreneurship(创业精神).
In sum, the U.S. is on the edge of a demographic, economic and social recovery, built on its historic strengths. The U.S. has always been good at destructive change. And it’s always been good at decentralized community-building, too. Surely a country with this much going for it is not going to wait around passively and let a rotten political culture drag it down.
51．In his article Relax, We’ll Be Fine, David Brooks intends to____________.
A．encourage Americans to be optimistic about their future
B．give Americans courage to face their financial crisis
C．persuade Americans to live happily and generously
D．inspire Americans to lead an economic recovery
52．There are all the reasons for Americans to be unhappy except____________
A．the function-failed political system B．the increasing population
C．the declining economy D．the wrong direction and financial crisis
53．Over the next 40 years, according to David Brooks, Americans will be____________
A．more optimistic and humorous B．more pessimistic and stronger
C．more energetic and promising D．more considerate and aggressive
54．In the author’s opinion, America____________.
A．has always benefited from wars B．has done well by its political system
C．has contributed a lot to human progress D．has contributed to world’s economy
55．We can learn from the passage that____________
