My father left for our native place on Thursday. In fact, he had never traveled by 36 before, so I just took this opportunity to let him

37 his first flight. 38 being asked to book a ticket by train, I got him

a ticket on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the ticket to him, he was surprised. The 39 was very clear on his face as we waited for the time of the travel. Just like a schoolboy, he was 40 himself on that day, using the trolley (手推车) for his luggage and asking for a window seat. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, watching him experience all these things with joy. As he was about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and 41 me. He became very 42 for what I had done

meant a great deal to him. I told him there was no need to thank me. Later, I 43 my life. As a child, how many dreams had our parents made come true? Without 44 the financial situation, we asked for dresses, toys, outings, etc. They tried to 45 all our needs. Did we ever say thanks for all they had done for us? Today when it comes to our children, we always think we should give them the best. But we tend to 46 that our parents have sacrificed (牺牲)a lot to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to make sure their dreams are realized.

Old age is like a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same 47 needs to be given to our parents. I want to say sorry for making my father wait so long for this small dream to be realized.

Just the fact that they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing. They have 48 , too.

Take care of your parents. They are precious.

I once lived in Spain and Japan. There are a few differences

between the two countries. In Spain, when you 49 someone, you give him two kisses. First on the left cheek and then on the right, but in Japan there is definitely no public 50 at all. In Japan you just bow or shake hands. In Spain, also the people are very warm and very 51 . I was living in my host family’s house while I was in Spain. In fact, the first few months when my Spanish wasn’t very good, I thought my host mom would be 52 at everything because she spoke in a loud voice. I thought she was 53 the entire household for good. And then when I realized what she was saying, it was just, “When are you taking out the dog?”or, “Let’s do your homework!”or even just like, “Pass me the salt.”Japanese are quite quiet. They definitely don’t 54 about things like that. About the food, the Spanish food is the best in the world, for it 55 a lot of olive oil, beans, vegetables and fruits. I like the Japanese food too. In Japan, they also use these materials, but Japanese food is lighter than the Spanish food.

49. A. meet B . know C. call D. face

Dear Grandma,

It was nice seeing you at Christmas. You looked so happy!

After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on（反思）what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence（effect）you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks. We made many "playhouses" in the woods．

We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of

paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．

You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．But you taught me how to fix it．

I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

Love always,

Kelly

Cooking Kills Four Million People a Year. Polluted airborne particles （大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization．

That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico．But those factories —or even the jammed roadways of modern cities—are not the biggest killer．Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO．

What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves．" Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour．" says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013．

Not all stoves cause this kind of harm．The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas．The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes．Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO

considers acceptable．

Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease．And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves．

Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children．In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease．

64. According to Kirk Smith's research, ______．

A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays

B. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous

C. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful

D. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should

65. What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?

A. Solid fuels．

B. Coal stoves．

C. Poor gas．

D. Cooking smoke．

66. The underlined word "ventilation" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______．

A. airing

B. cooking

C. burning

D. cooling

67. The author intends to tell people ______．

A. how to avoid polluted air in their homes

B. to stop cooking in the household kitchen

C. to guard against household pollution from cooking

D. how to prevent childhood lung diseases in household

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator(电梯) ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (strange),”Gray told the BBC. “They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple –look down, or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space,”Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (understood) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,”she said.

68. The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator

B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

69.. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually

_____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. make eye contact with those in the elevator

D. try to keep a distance from other people

70. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

71.. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A. someone’s odd behaviors

B. the lack of space

C. their unfamiliarity with one another

D. their eye contact with one another

Recently, a case of lifeboat ethics (伦理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink, the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.

It’s a great story, but it doesn’t strike me as especially newsworthy.
