My mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around，you will find her planting，watering and weeding over everything .For many years we lived next door to each other，and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own .After the flowers became plentiful each summer，she would cut colorful bouquets(花束)to enjoy inside the house－both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement(布置) of fresh flowers on my coffee table.
Shortly before Christmas one year，a local flower shop offered a bouquet a month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.新课|标 第|一|网
After the holidays，in early January，I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase(花瓶)．
I was so embarrassed(尴尬的)．However，after we returned home，she began to arrange the flowers she had received. “Mom，I’m sorry，”I told her. “I can’t believe how skimpy that bouquet is.” She looked at me and smiled. “It’s Okay，”she said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”
Mom’s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important－when we have too many good things，we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.
Thanks，Mom，for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.新-课-标- 第- 一-网
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

A．are too strict with their children

In the mid 1990’s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then there were Internet companies. They didn’t have a store, and they only sold things on the Net.
Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly they made their own websites and began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called “brick and click” companies. Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name “brick and click” comes from.
By the late 1990’s, e-business like amazon.com, buy.com and etoys.com were in trouble. Their profits（利润） were not very high. Competition was great. Many of these business were losing lots of money. In 2000, many e-business went out of business.

There are three different kinds of friends in our life. I classify (分类) them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance (熟人)．This means that you only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation (恼怒)．Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly. You would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry，such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them “pest friends”．
The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”．They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don’t talk too often with this sort of friend，and you don’t share each other’s secrets.
Lastly，we have “best friends”．This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear，they will be the one to lend support.
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an influence on our life....
67．What is this passage mainly about?
A．What a true friend is like.
B．Three kinds of friends in our life.
C．The role that friends play in our life.
D．Why there are different kinds of friends.
68．According to the writer，when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way，you ________.
A．can tell him/her about it directly
B．should stay away from him/her
C．should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior

A．They are only social partners.
B．You don’t talk very often with them.
C．You don’t share your secrets with them.
D．They are called “pest friends” by the writer.
70．What will most probably be talked about in Paragraph 5?
A．How to make friends.
B．How friends influence our life.
C．How to improve friendship.
D．How to get along well with the third type of friend.x k b 1 . c o m

71.This article provides some useful tips to help you．
Be on time
PIan to arrive a few minutes early．And allow some room for possible delays in traffic or taking a wrong turn．72.
Be at ease
If you are feeling uncomfortable，this can make the other person ill at ease and that’s a sure way to create a wrong impression．If you are calm and confident，the other person will feel more at ease!
Present yourself appropriately
73. The person you are meeting for the first time does not know you and your appearance is usually the first clue he or she has．But it certainly does not mean you look like a model．
A winning smile
“Smile and the world smiles，too．”A warm and confident smile will put both you and the other person at ease．So smiling is a winner when it comes to a great first impression．
Be open and confident
Body language as well as appearance speaks much louder than words．74.
Stand tall，smile，make eye contact，and greet with a firm handshake．
Be positive and polite
75. Good manners and polite behavior help make a good first impression．One modern manner worth mentioning is to “turn off your mobile phone”．
With a little extra thought and preparation，you can make every first impression not
