He also  38  calls me at other times during the day just to  39  a happy or sad moment. Many times he is holding a basketball with one hand, or  40  with a friend about something I don’t quite  41 , or crying about something. I just  42  and laugh or cry with him — just share his emotion. I always let him be in  43  of the conversation, the emotion, and the amount of time he’s on the  44  with me. Many times I just listen to him  45  or listen while he does his homework aloud.
The  46  time I take control of the conversation is when he’s  47  to say goodbye at night. Then I say, “I love you, baby”. One  48  I thought maybe he was  49  of hearing those words, so I didn’t say them. He immediately called me back and told me that I  50  to say the sentence! Since then I have never  51  saying it again!
All my friends know he takes precedence over (比……重要) all other things. If I’m at a place where I really can’t take his  52 , I always excuse myself and  53  tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes. I want him to know that he takes first place in my  54 .
Every child needs at least one  55  in their life to listen and share with. I am glad to give my grandson the love he needs.

In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism(反恐怖主義) world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.
Since the 1960s, the United States and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, to recover inert torpedoes(魚雷)and to test objects used in Naval exercises.
Program officials estimate that the sea lions in the Marine Mammal Program have recovered millions of dollars of U.S. Naval torpedoes and instrumentation dropped on the sea floor.
The U.S. Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring CNN became one of only a handful of media outlets to see firsthand how the program works.
The program has trained about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar (生物聲納) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35 California sea lions, with superb underwater eyesight.
Not only do these trained marine mammals track and retrieve millions of dollars in U. S. military equipment, they are also helping to save lives.
The Navy won't disclose whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively intercepted (阻攔)terrorists attempting to do harm to any U.S. facilities.
"Either way, it serves as a deterrent(阻礙) effect." says Christian Harris, operations supervisor for the program. The mammals can be deployed(調(diào)動(dòng)) via C-130 cargo aircraft to perform their missions anywhere in the world within 72 hours. They have been used in exercises from Alaska to Hawaii, operating in great temperature and environmental ranges. They also have the capability to operate off vessels.
Dolphins most recently were deployed in the Iraq war, performing mine detection and clearance operations in the Persian Gulf to ensure safe passage for humanitarian ships delivering aid. Some of these Iraq war "veterans" are now back home, tasked with a new mission: guarding nuclear submarines in their homeports of Bremerton, Washington, and Groton, Connecticut.
小題1:The underlined word "retrieve" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ________.
A.find outB.recoverC.saveD.detect
小題2:Which is NOT the purpose of the Marine Mammal Program?
A.To detect sea mines and swimmers.
B.To save lives of people.
C.To recover inert torpedoes.
D.To help the U.S. Naval test equipment.
小題3:What can be inferred according to the text?
A.These trained marine mammals eat pounds of fish a day.
B.The U.S. Navy performed the Marine Mammal Program for about 30 years secretly.
C.These mammals can carry out a task everywhere.
D.A lot of countries will train dolphins and sea lions for anti-terrorism.
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Special Skills of Marine MammalsB.The U.S. Anti-terrorism Program
C.Exceptional Anti-terrorism MemberD.Trained Marine Mammals

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by the shark (鯊魚).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms. Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure. If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal (潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic (模擬) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
小題1:The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A.a(chǎn) short-story collection
B.a(chǎn) popular science magazine
C.a(chǎn) research paper
D.a(chǎn) personal diary
小題2:What do we learn from the first four paragraphs of the passage?
A.Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.
B.Sharks’ behavior can be controlled.
C.Michael Fish is not fit for his job.
D.Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.
小題3:Lauren Smith conducted her research by _______.
A.removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system
B.measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
C.recording sharks’ body temperature
D.monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A.A popular way of forecasting weather.
B.A new research effort in predicting storms.
C.Biologists’ interest in the secrets of sharks.
D.Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific research.

Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.
The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars. The second cost 150 000.
Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can infer________.
A.the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
B.cows can be raised by robots in the future
C.robots direct cows into milking stations
D.cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
小題2:Besides milking cows, the robotic system also can ________.
A.a(chǎn)djust the temperature of milking stations
B.judge the quality of fresh milk
C.improve the appetite of cows
D.keep fresh milk for two weeks
小題3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
A.Because young people have no interest in it.
B.Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
C.Because people can’t afford to buy it.
D.Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
小題4:According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee?
A.150, 000-170, 000.B.750, 000.C.150, 000 -30, 000.D.30, 000- 32, 000
小題5:The best title for the passage may be_______.
A.Letting robot milk your cowB.Milking cows by hand
C.Improving the quality of milkD.Drinking fresh milk every day

Kindergarten outside? Yes, indeed. It’s part of a growing worldwide trend toward outdoor education. The schools are called forest kindergartens.
The numbers are small so far in the U.S., but the idea is well established in Europe, with schools in Scotland, England, and Switzerland. By far the most such schools are in Germany, which has more than 400 forest kindergartens.
Some schools feature several hours of outdoor schooling. This is certainly the case with the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs. Children there will be venturing out on the nearby Hemlock Trail to learn more about the natural world. Some lessons are focused on nature; others are academic topics delivered in a natural setting. In all cases, students are active-not sitting at desks or on mats on the floor but walking, running, jumping, solving problems like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.
Seriously, the focus is on activity at these schools. Studies have shown that children’s immune systems actually get stronger after all of the outdoor activity, and that graduates of forest kindergartens show a higher ability to learn when they progress through their academic careers.
Other schools are all outdoors, all the time. This is the case with the Cedar Song Nature School, on Vashon Island, Washington. Students at this school spend their whole three–hour day outdoors, in a private five-acre forest, doing all kinds of physical activities.
At these forest kindergartens, students learn science by observing and doing it, learn math by applying it to the natural world around them, learn letters and words by putting them together using sights and sounds. These students learn how to get along with one another, individually and in a group. They also develop healthy levels of self-confidence.
Nowadays many children become obese(肥胖的) because of sedentary(久坐的) activities like watching television and playing video games. These outdoor schools give children chances to learn just as much, if not more, from opening their eyes to the real world around them.
小題1:What do we know about forest kindergartens?
A.The first one was created in England.B.They are very popular in Germany.
C.There are 400 all over the world.D.Their number is huge in the U.S.
小題2:What is special about forest kindergartens?
A.Kids learn more than those at ordinary kindergartens.
B.Students go outside when weather permits.
C.They value activity very much.
D.They are situated in forests.
小題3:The main difference between the Waldorf School and Cedar Song Nature School lies in______.
A.the subjectsB.the activities
C.the outdoor timeD.the teaching methods
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Get close to natureB.A new trend of education
C.Forest kindergartens are popularD.Outdoor education benefits kids a lot

What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?
We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.  The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. 
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光譜).
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts. 
小題1:Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________
A.knowledge only.B.more than one aspect.
C.technology only.D.the use of machines.
小題2:Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?
A.He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.
B.He is interested in problems that are explained.
C.He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.
D.He looks for new ways of acting.
小題3:According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.
A.easily believe in unchecked statements.
B.easily criticize others' research work.
C.a(chǎn)lways use his imagination in work.
D.a(chǎn)lways use evidence from observation.
小題4:Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?
A.completeB.objectiveC.complicatedD.a(chǎn)ccurate

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.
“ It's the next ’wow’ vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don't fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is  both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National High way Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an air port-you park it in the garage at home.
The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(臨界) conditions.
The Transition's price tag: $ 194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS.Another option is a fullplane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,”Gersh said.
So far, the company has more than 70 0rders with deposits. “We're working very closely with them,
but there are still some remaining steps, ” Brown said.
小題1:We can learn from the first paragraph that         
A.carplanes will be popular in 2012
B.people might drive a carplane in 2012
C.both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D.Richard Cersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
小題2:It takes the carplane one minute to          
A.fold and- unfold its wingsB.unfold wings for flying
C.land in the airportD.meet flying safety regulations
小題3:According to the passage,  which of the following is NOT true?
A.The carplane needs a runway to take off and land.
B.To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.
C.The carplane may fly as high as normal planes.
D.People can park the carplane in the garage at their home.
小題4:The underlined word "it" in the last but one paragraph refers to          
A.the radioB.the transponder
C.the GPSD.the fullplane parachute
小題5:What's the best title for the passage?
A.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Comer
B.Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A CarPlane?
C.A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly
D.Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane

Because of the change in the American public school system over the last several years, now many parents choose to home-school their children. There are many reasons behind this. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
For some parents, they have religious (宗教的) reasons for home-schooling. The public school system does not have religious teachings, so these parents want to put religion into the children’s daily school activities. This might include teaching religion-based courses rather than coursework that is taught in public schools.
For some parents, they do not feel that their local school system offers their children the best learning opportunities. So they want to take matters into their own hands. This may be because the local school has low educational standards (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) or for some other reason the parents think it necessary to take their children out of the system. Sometimes the parents just feel the children will get a better education at home.
Some parents may not be rich enough to send their children to a private school, so the next best thing in their eyes is home-schooling. Thus they can teach their children what they like.
One should remember that the laws about home-schooling vary from state to state. In some states, the parents are required to hand in monthly attendance records (出席記錄) to their local school system. What’s more, most states require state testing at certain periods such as the CRCT.
小題1:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _______.   
A.a(chǎn)dvise parents to home-school their children
B.explain why some parents choose to home-school their children
C.tell us the advantages and disadvantages of home-schooling
D.praise home-schooling and private schools
小題2:Paragraph 3 tells us that some parents choose home-schooling because ______.
A.school teachers are not strict with their children
B.their children don’t do well in their studies at school
C.their children don’t like going to school
D.they are not satisfied with the school education
小題3:What does the underlined word “vary” in the last paragraph mean?
A.IncreaseB.ChangeC.SpreadD.Keep
小題4:How many reasons for home-schooling are mentioned in the passage?
A.2B.4 C.3D.5

Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.
Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.
Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as it becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow's surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.
Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.
Sometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light makes it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.
小題1:How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage?
A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four
小題2:Why does snowfall help to protect plants from cold?
A.Because snow crystals contain heat.
B.Because snow crystals have air in them.
C.Because snow crystals are easy to blow away.
D.Because snow crystals send out heat when melting.
小題3:It can be inferred that ______.
A.hard snow is better in protecting wild animals than fresh snow
B.fresh snow is better in sending sound waves than hard snow
C.fresh snow is better in taking in sound waves than hard snow
D.hard snow provides less water than fresh snow
小題4:The color of snow and ice appears white because snow crystals________.
A.send back none of the sunlightB.send back all of the sunlight
C.take in most of the sunlightD.take in some of the sunlight
