There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine. I just didn't know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mail. She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.56.

But a new survey in America finds almost as many also fear the online world-especially social networking sites such as MySpace-and worry their kids will get in trouble with people they meet. "The parents see the web's incredible potential, and they know their kids have to be there," says James Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, which released results from a survey that looked into parental attitudes toward the Internet. "It's also what they are scared of most."Meeting bad people onlineThe study was conducted online May 5-10 by Insight Research Group. It says 80% of parents are concerned about kids meeting bad people online.That's because young people who largely have grown up with the Net think of it as a social outlet, say the researchers. To young people, the benefits of giving out some personal information to reach out to friends outweigh the risks. And, the study shows they are so comfortable with the medium that 78% have a personal website or blog.The most valuable education toolParents also recognize the importance of the Internet. The survey shows 91% think the Net helps their children explore their passions, and 77% think the Internet is one of the most valuable education tools teens have. But 88% think it's important to know what their kids are doing online. "Findings suggest both parents and teens need more education about using online media," Steyer says.Internet safety has become an increasing concern for parents in America. Organizations like the Non-profit Common Sense have been trying to reach and help parents pay attention to the problem.60.

Information is Very Important for TeenagersD. The Introduction of the Open Door Web SiteDIf you don't get along well with your teachers, you can try to do this. Before you try to get out of a class to escape a teacher you don't like, here are a few things you can try to make a difficult relationship work:◆Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this teacher?" Even if you don't worship his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher's personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better. ◆Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. If you're too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.◆If you still can't get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships. Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator (调解员) between you and the teacher. That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other. ◆If your relationship problems can't be solved in school, then it's time to tell your parents or guardians. Let them meet with your teacher and try to work it out.Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner.Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.'"68. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Advice for Students on Solving Problems in Everyday LifeB. Advice on Making a Good Excuse for Your Absence from ClassC. Advice on Developing Friendship with You ClassmateD. Advice on Getting Good Relationship with Your Teachers69.

These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters (nearly 20 feet) long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are predators of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharp-toothed snout through a school of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to inhale the injured victims.Hardy populations of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that snag the huge animals, often by mistake. Compared with other fish, sawfish reproduce late in life and at slow rates. These traits make it hard for them to recover from over fishing.Some people collect sawfish snouts as trophies: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 on eBay. Shamans, or priests, in some Asian cultures, use the toothy snouts in ceremonies to repel demons and disease. And sawfish are also a delicacy. A growing demand in Asia for the animal's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's disappearance.New efforts now aim to revive sawfish populations. Beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. "We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they reproduce, how many young fish they have." Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have dwindled. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.72. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Long Nose, Hopeful Future   B. The Mote Marine LaboratoryC. Sawfish in US      D. The Past of the Sawfish73. The sawfish got its name because _____.A. It can grow to be more than 6 meters longB. Its body is flat and winged, like underwater airplanesC. Its nose is shaped like chainsawsD. It can be used as a saw to cut down the trees74. The number of sawfish becomes smaller than before because ____.A. compared with other fish, sawfish reproduce early in life and at fast ratesB. in some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts can be used in ceremonies to repel demons and diseaseC. sawfish are also smelly, which attracts people to kill themD. fishing nets that snag the huge animals, often on purpose kill them75. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. scientists knew where they live, what habitat they use before 1998B. scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have dwindled until 1998C. there may be 30,000 to 60,000 sawfish in the pastD. there may be 90 percent more sawfish than there used to be 第II卷（非选择题共35分）  第四部分写作（共两节,满分35分） 第一节短文填词（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）Spring festival is the most important festival in China.

As can be seen from the pie chart, different students hold different opinions on this program. Only a few students care little about it. Surprisingly, about one third of students are totally against the program. They don’t bother to change their old habits. However, over half the students are completely for the program, as it is not only beneficial to recycling of resources, but also it can help students develop their good habits of garbage classification. Besides, 12% of the students partly agree. They hold the opinion that educating people on how to classify the garbage goes first. Personally, I’m in favor of this program. I believe it’s important to raise people’s awareness of garbage classification, from which we will get considerable benefits for the future.
