Both of their cars became totally damaged. But amazingly neither of them was hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they got out of their cars, the woman said, “So you are a man. That’s interesting. I’m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars ! There is nothing left, but we’re unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.” Flattered, the man replied, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!” The woman continued, “ and look at this, here is another miracle. My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine doesn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.” Then she handed the bottle to the man. The man nodded his head in agreement, opened it and drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman. The woman took the bottle and immediately put the cap on, and handed it back to the man. The man asked, “Aren’t you having some?” The woman replied, “No, I think I’ll just wait for the police---” 56.

Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(*person whose job is selling meat). and he's going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it， he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (*people who buy sth. from a shop). But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?” Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it! 59. Mrs Smith treated her little dog quite_________. A. cruelly B. fairly C. kindly D. politely 60 . It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs Smith gave it_______. A. might do it much harm B. could do it much good C. would help the butcher D. was worth many pounds 61 .The butcher did not give any meat to the dog __________. A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs Smith B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear C. because he had sold out all the meat in his shop D. until he was paid enough by Mrs Smith 62.From its experience, the dog found that ________.

A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paper B. the dog dared not go to the butcher's any more C. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog D. the butcher found himself cheated(*act in a way that is not honest)by the clever animal C The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun. “My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society. While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old. If you take into consideration feminism (女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple (紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing. “The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention. “The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood. 64．The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means __________. A．one branch of an organization B．a written agreement of a club C．one part of a collection of poems D．a period in a society’s history 65．From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who A．have gradually become more noticeable B．are worried about getting old too quickly C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young 66．It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are . A．interested in raising money for social work B．programmers who can plan well for their future C．believers in equality between men and women D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others 67．Who set up the Red Hat Society ? A．Emily Cornette . B．Ellen Cooper . C．Jenny Joseph . D．Joe Heywood . 68．Women join the Red Hat Society because . A．they want to stay young B．they would like to appear more attractive C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves D．they want to be more like their parents D I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because y ou find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a Britis h institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not in to the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods. The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's ap peal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with d onations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donatio ns to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in t he UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, w here I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each. Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity sho ps are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask peopl e to bring things in when the shop is open. The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment. 69. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______. A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goods C. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment 70. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____. A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted things C. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country 71. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops? A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid. C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day. 72. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. What to Buy a Charity Shops. B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development. C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate. D. The Public's Concern about Charity Shops. E Tired of Working in Your Country!

Therefore it’s very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health. To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets , which generally include proper amount of fish, meat, vegetables, fruits as well as main food. Moreover, we’d better have meals on a regular basis. As far as I am concerned, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
