This is love, hand in hand with you, old age to the old.
I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a(an) 31 husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The 32 had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The 33 was quoting Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an 34 of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to 35 that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would 36 .
And it did, 37 from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 38 on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, 39 and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. 40 the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 41 a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, 42
then I thought she wanted to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the 43 flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the firm where I am a director. We visited the shell museum 44 I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole 45 passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went 46 with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn 47 me. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a(an) 48 voice, “do you know something? I don’t….”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… that 49 I had several weeks ago … our doctor … did he tell you something about me? Am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst into 50 .
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

解析【小題1】考查形容詞。結(jié)合Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.可知作者要盡力做個(gè)充滿愛心的丈夫和父親。
【小題2】考查名詞。 結(jié)合下文可知作者“要盡力做個(gè)充滿愛心的丈夫和父親”的想法是來自車載收音機(jī)中聽到的一個(gè)談話節(jié)目。
【小題3】考查名詞。這里是指談話節(jié)目的主持人引用了圣經(jīng)中有關(guān)夫妻關(guān)系的文章。
【小題4】考查名詞。根據(jù)下文 A person can choose to love可知“愛是出于自愿的行為”。
【小題5】考查動(dòng)詞。admit 承認(rèn)。此處作者反思自身的缺點(diǎn)。
【小題6】考查動(dòng)詞。由首句 “I made a promise to myself...”可知，“所有這些情況都會(huì)改變”。
【小題7】考查副詞。right用于加強(qiáng)語氣，以便精確地表達(dá)時(shí)間關(guān)系或空間關(guān)系,如right after, right in the middle of等。right from the moment就在從那一刻。
【小題8】考查形容詞。作者贊美妻子的sweater漂亮。
【小題9】考查形容詞。結(jié)合Tom, you noticed可知丈夫的贊美出乎妻子的意料，聽了之后感到“又驚又喜”。
【小題10】考查介詞。結(jié)合第一段可知是作者在去海邊的路上許的諾言，而下文又講的是在海灘上散步，是到了之后的事。
【小題11】考查動(dòng)詞。suggest sth.提議；提出。對(duì)應(yīng)下文的I started to refuse。本處不是“took a walk”，而是“……提出到海灘上去散散步。”
【小題12】考查連詞。but表示轉(zhuǎn)折。“我開始相拒絕，可想到她想和我單獨(dú)在一起”。
【小題13】考查名詞。我和妻子在散步，孩子們?cè)诜棚L(fēng)箏。對(duì)應(yīng)前文的father。
【小題14】考查連詞。承接上文“雖然我usually hate museums, 但我還是去visit the shell museum”。
【小題15】考查名詞。文章開頭提到的vacation。
【小題16】考查形容詞。前文講的是作者一直按自己的承諾對(duì)待妻子和孩子，過得很愉快；46空后的however表轉(zhuǎn)折，所以此處應(yīng)是出問題了（go wrong）。
【小題17】考查動(dòng)詞短語。 結(jié)合上文的puzzled可知對(duì)于作者的變化，Evelyn有些迷惑，所以她盯著作者，想弄清楚是怎么回事。
【小題18】考查形容詞。結(jié)合下文Evelyn以為自己要死了，自然是很難過。
【小題19】考查名詞。結(jié)合doctor 可知幾周前Evelyn做了次體檢。
【小題20】考查名詞。結(jié)合全文可知Evelyn 把作者的轉(zhuǎn)變誤以為自己快要死了，才對(duì)她這么好，弄明白妻子的意思后，作者哄然大笑。可結(jié)合Evelyn and I still laugh about it today判斷答案。

Coming from the Bronx, Jennifer Lopez knew from an early age it would be tough to achieve her dream. In an interview in 2002 she remembered, “I had such a will in me. I had such a passion in me. I could overcome my situation. But a lot of people will get beaten down and be held back by that.” Lopez was not beaten by her situation. She worked hard dancing, singing, and acting in theaters and her hard work paid off with small roles in television and films.
Lopez’s big breakthrough came in 1996 when she played the main role in the movie Selena. For this movie, Lopez got paid $1 million and became the highest paid Latin actress of all time. Since then, she has had starring roles in several successful movies, including Out of Slight(1998) with George Clooney.
Then, Lopez turned her attention toward music. In 1999, she released first album, On the 6. Two songs from the album, “If You Had My Love” and “Waiting for Tonight,” both reached number one on the Billboard music cha
rts. The album sold more than three million copies around the world.
After starring in The Cell (2000), Lopez released her 
second album, J. Lo, in 2001. The album went straight to the top of the Billboard chart. At the same time that her album came out, Lopez’s new movie, The Wedding Planner, opened in theaters. It became the number one movie at the box office. This meant that Lopez was the first entertainer to ever have a number one album and a number one movie at the same time! Like her first album, J. Lo went tripe-platinum.
But her entertainment career was not the only thing Lopez focused on that year. 2001 was also the year Lopez started her own line of clothing, called J.Lo, and she married Cris Judd, a dancer who performed in her videos. The marriage did not last long, and Lopez and Judd divorced nine months later.
In 2002, Lopez starred in the films Enough and Maid in Manhattan. Maid in Manhattan became Lopez’s biggest movie yet, earning $19 million during its first weekend in theaters. Lopez also put her third album, This Is Me… Then, and the single “Jenny from the Block” hit number one for a week. To go with her line of clothing, Lopez introduced her own perfume.
In an interview, Lopez was asked if she planned to do more acting, singing, designing, or something new. She answered, “Yes, yes, yes, and yes! All of those things. I love making music, I love doing movies and all the other things. I think that everyone should do everything that they have a passion for.”
【小題1】What is the main idea of the passage?
| A．Lopez is better at singing than acting. |
| B．Lopez has done many things in her career. |
| C．Lopez grew up in a poor family. |
| D．Lopez has had many problems in her personal life. |
| A．a(chǎn)cting in the movie Selena | B．getting married to a dancer |
| C．releasing a second album | D．starring with George  Clooney |
| A．She has had several number one songs. |
| B．She was a famous singer before she started acting. |
| C．She wants to do other things besides acting and singing. |
| D．She wanted to be an entertainer when she was young. |
| A．It was made by an actor or actress. |
| B．It sold more than three million copies. |
| C．It had songs from a movie on it. |

Today I was at the mall waiting for friends, when a lady wearing a knit hat and a sweater came up to me and, shivering, said, “I’m homeless. Would you mind buying me some food?”
In that split second, everything I’d learned since kindergarten flashed through my mind. Don’t talk to strangers … Be a good citizen … People will take advantage of you … Treat others as you wish to be treated … The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return … I guess love won the debate. “Sure,” I said. “What would you like?”
She thought and then said, “I’d like to get Chinese food.” We headed upstairs. On the way she told me about when she was a teenager. She remembers taking pictures for the yearbook with her best friend. She was in the band and played basketball. She got good grades and was a good student.
She ordered soup, an egg roll, white rice, and pepper chicken. I would normally think that was a lot, but she had probably barely eaten in the last few days. I got my usual – lo mein and General Tso’s chicken.
As we ate, we got to know each other. She asked if I played any instruments. I replied that I played the violin, cello, and guitar. She told me she played the flute, piano, guitar, and violin. In the middle of our meal, I realized something. And she thought of it at exactly the same time.
“So, what’s your name?” she asked.
“I’m Claire,” I said, startled at our exact same thought. “What’s yours?”
“Joyce,” she said with a smile.
We continued talking, and she asked my favorite subjects in school and if I wanted to go to college. “Hopefully,” I replied. “I’m interested in nursing.”
“I went to college for nursing,” she said.
I was taken aback. How could we have so much in common? Was she pretending so I’d feel sympathy for her? But her eyes were genuine as she said this.
Meanwhile I was eating my lo mein, picking around the cabbage and the other vegetables. Joyce said, “If you don’t like it you can take it back.” I told her that I liked it, but was not fond of the vegetables. She broke into a big grin. “You don’t like vegetables, huh? Neither did I. But now I do.” I immediately felt guilty. How could I be picking at my food across from someone who barely gets to eat at all?
I tried my best to finish, but she seemed to sense my guilt and said, “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want it.” How could she know what I was feeling? I told her the dish was my favorite, but I just eat slowly.
She replied, “I used to like lo mein, but pepper chicken was my dad’s favorite, so I get that now.” Noticing that she used the word “was,” I assumed her dad had passed away. I found it sweet that she gave up her favorite in order to honor her dad.
She asked why I was at the mall.
“I’m waiting for friends. We’re going to see ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,’” I replied, stumbling over the words a bit.
“‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,’” she echoed in awe. “What’s that about?” I realized that she didn’t see commercials for movies.
I explained the basic plot and she chuckled. “A man who is born 80 years old and ages backwards! That sounds interesting.”
She got up to get a to-go box. “Would you like one?” she asked, but I refused. I realized that this food would probably last her for a few days, and I was glad she had ordered a lot.
“Would you like these?” I asked, gesturing at the food I had left untouched. “Oh, no, thank you,” she said. “This is enough.” I got up to throw my tray away, feeling guilty about wasting so much.
“I need to meet my friends now,” I explained. “It was so nice to meet you, Joyce.”
“You too, Claire,” she replied with a smile. “Thank you.”
I headed to the theater, and she went back downstairs. It sounds like a perfect coincidence, but I can’t help but think that some force compelled us to meet. I kept puzzling, Why is Joyce homeless? It seems so unfair. She shouldn’t need people to buy her dinner. She was a nurse. She got good grades. She took pictures for her yearbook. She was the person I hope to be in the future. What went wrong? How could such a good life be rewarded with horrible luck?
I feel lucky to have run into Joyce. She changed my outlook. She is still a wonderful person, despite what the world has done to her. I wish her the best, and can only hope that the force that brought us together will help her find what she deserves in life.

Below is some advice on how to sleep better.
1. Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule
Go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don’t toss or turn. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want lo changeyour bedtime, help your body adjust by making the changein small daily increments, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day. As with your bedtime, try to maintain yourregular wake-time even on weekends.
2.Fight after-dinner drowsiness（睡意）
If you find yourself getting sleepy before your bed-time, get off the couch and do something mildly stimulating to avoid falling asleep, such as washing the dishes, calling a friend, or getting clothes ready for the next day. If you give in to the drowsiness, you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.
3. Keep your room dark and cool
When it’s time to sleep, make sure that your environment is dark. Even dim light —especially those from TV or computer screens —can confuse the body clock. Heavy curtains or shades can help block light from windows, or you can try an eye mask to cover your eyes. The temperature of you

4. Turn off your television
Many people use the television to fall asleep or relaxat the end of the day. You may even have a television inyour bedroom. However, television actually stimulates themind, rather than relaxing it. Part of this is due to content. Late night news and prime time shows frequently have disturbing, violent mat
erial. Even non-violent programming can have commercials that are jarring and loud.
5. Exercise early
Exercise helps promote restful sleep if it is done several hours before you go to bed. Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly— as long asit ’s done at the right time. Try to finish exercising at least three hours before bed or work out earlier in the day.
6. Consult your doctor
Use a sleep diary and talk to your doctor. Note what type of sleep problem is affecting your sleep or if you aresleepy when you wish to be awake and alert. Try these tips and record your sleep and sleep-related activities in a sleep diary. If problems continue, discuss the sleep diary with your doctor.

Robert Frost was one of America’s best known and most honored serious writers. But his fame came late in his life.
He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America’s Civil War. The general’s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.
Someone once asked another American writer, Ernest Hemingway, how to become a writer. The best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. If this is true, Robert Frost’s childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. Robert Frost’s father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. He often drank too much wine and became angry. Robert was the victim of his anger.
Robert Frost finished high school in 1891. After high school, Robert’s grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College. But Robert left the school after a few months. He did not like it. He spent the next few years working at different jobs. At one time, he worked in a factory. Later, he repaired shoes. He was a teacher. He was a reporter. Always, he wrote poetry.
Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years. After that, he returned to the many jobs he held before. For a while, Frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire. He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.
In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy’s Will. When it appeared in 1913, Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.
Ezra Pound, another American poet living in Britain, read the poems and liked them very much. He wrote a magazine article about Frost. He also helped get Frost’s second book of poems published in America. That book was called North of Boston.
