For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra 21 along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go
13、and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit, 22 , the first time I did it I was so 23 . I didnt know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the 24 person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran 25 m
14、e with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he 26 a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one. Later I found him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the 27 I had afterwards
15、 was unexplainable.Then one day I came across yourwebsite (the coolestwebsite ever) and 28 some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a 29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and 30 it in the most beautiful
16、paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it 31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and 32 it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier 33 it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so its easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to
17、that person when they come through. Once in a while Ill buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the 34 somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly
18、 once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face 35 and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had 36 me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning
19、what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I 37 at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also
20、are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. Its really great. I 38 used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting 39 that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class tha

31、 many visitors really enjoy their stay in these hotels according to their reviews?A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 444. Where is The Benjamin exactly located?A. New York B. Midtown C. Theatre District D. Turtle Bay BIn 1974, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a new policy. WHO tried to enco
32、urage developing countries to develop their own traditional forms of medicine, instead of turning to Western medicine for expensive cures to medical problem. There were many people who looked down on this new policy, but WHO felt it was the most reasonable solution to the large health problems facin
33、g poor countries. Today, WHO estimates that a third of the global population lack easy access to modern drugs, and that in the poorest parts of Africa and Asia, that figure rises to fifty percent. WHO believed that the people in developing countries who could not afford or find modern medical doctor
34、s were better off using traditional medicine rather than no medicine at all.Twenty-five percent of modern medicines are made from plants that were first used in traditional medicine, and scientists believe they have just scratched the surface. For example, one Chinese herbal remedy, which has been u
35、sed for two thousand years, has recently been found to be effective against varieties of malaria that have resistance to other drugs. This herb could end up saving a million lives a year, mostly among children. In South Africa, another traditional plant is being used to treat patients with AIDS.Reco
36、gnizing the importance of traditional medicines, in 2003 WHO launched a Traditional Medicine Strategy. Among the recommendations of this strategy, there were several areas of concern. The first area of concern is safety. WHO recommends more scientific testing on traditional medicinenot all tradition
37、al medicines are as helpful as the two mentioned above, and some can actually be harmful.Another area of concern is biodiversity and sustainability(生物多样性和持续性). Some people are worried that as herbal medicines become more popular, the plants that these medicines are made from may become endangered as
38、 they are over-harvested. For example, in eastern and southern Africa a species of wild potato has become endangered because of reports that it is effective in the treatment of AIDS.There is also the problem of rights to drugs created from traditional remedies. Research into traditional remedies is
39、increasingly being done by large drug companies, mostly based in Western countries. There is a fear that as these companies produce drugs they will claim to have the rights to the medicine. WHO recognizes that there is a need to make sure that any profits from drugs produced from traditional medicin
40、es are shared with the local culture from which the medicine originated.Traditional treatments dont only include medicines, they also include such treatments as acupuncture(using needles to treat illnesses) and aromatherapy (which, as the name suggests, uses types of smell as therapy). Acupuncture,
41、for example, started in China, but is now performed in more than seventy countries around the world. There are at least 50,000 acupuncturists in Asia alone, and another 15,000 in Europe, and 12,000 in the United States. Even conventional doctors have come to recognize the benefits of acupuncture to
42、stop pain and to eat some illnesses. In the United Kingdom, almost half of all conventional doctors either recommend acupuncture in some cases, or will perform acupuncture themselves. In fact, several British soccer players have used acupuncture to treat injuries that, in the past, would have requir
43、ed surgery, or that they would have just had to put up with.45. What is this passage mainly about?A. why traditional medicine is so effectiveB. a program to increase the use of alternative medicine around the worldC. the main differences between traditional and conventional medicinesD. the history a
44、nd future of the World Health Organization46. Why does WHO encourage developing countries to use traditional medicines?A. Non-traditional medicines are often too expensive.B. Traditional medicine is usually more effective.C. Western countries shouldnt have to supply drugs to developing countries.D.
45、The populations of developing countries prefer traditional medicines.47. According to the passage, which of these can be treated by acupuncture?A. Being overweight B. AIDS C. Malaria D. pain48. Which of these statements would WHO probably agree with?A. Herbal remedies are much safer than conventiona
46、l medicine.B. In the future, more Western drugs will be based on traditional plants.C. Western companies should own any species they produce drugs from.D. Conventional doctors should avoid using traditional medicine.49. Which of these does the passage NOT mention as one of WHOs main concerns?A. spec
47、ies protection B. sharing of profits with local culturesC. drug safety D. problems caused by acupunctureCWhen looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ad to place in newspapers. Or they might use a c
48、omputer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry Multimillionaire?, have proved to be rating
49、 blockbusters, with millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-
50、Wright, dated fifteen women to find the one who was his ideal partner. The host of the show was Ulrika Jonsson, an English celebrity originally from Sweden. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensive restaurants and exotic l
51、ocations. He even met the womens families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each episode, he would choose between one and three of the contestants with whom he had felt the least compatible(相容的), and say goodbye to them.At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to l
52、eave because she said she didnt find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldnt see it working, “He wasnt my cup of tea.” In another episode the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestants name. “You called me by another gi
53、rls name. I cant believe you did that. I really liked you,” she sobbed.After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and Jonsson were seen dining together and attending parties around London more and more often. Finally, on May 1, 2003, Gerrard-Wright proposed to Jonsson on the steps of St. Pauls Cathedral
54、. And she accepted his proposal right away, although it was a conditional acceptance. Jonsson has two children from previous relationshipsan eight-year-old son, Cameron, and a two-year-old daughter, Bo. She had to make sure that they agreed to the marriage. Luckily, they did. Gerrard-Wright said, “I
55、n the end the show did work for me. I grabbed an opportunity to get a girlfriend and I did. Ulrikas gorgeous.”The happy couple finally got married at Jonssons home in Sweden on the island of Varmdo. They wanted to keep the ceremony small, so only forty people were invited, including family and frien
56、ds. There was some gossip at the time that Jonssons friends who did not receive invitations to the wedding felt snubbed by her. But the bride and groom did not let that ruin their wedding day.Has Ulrika Jonsson finally found Mr. Right? Only time will tell. But none of the guests at the wedding could
57、 deny the happiness in the couples eyes as the bride and groom left the wedding ceremony with the music of Stevie Wonder playing in the background, “Seen a lot of things in this old world. When I touched them, they did nothing, girl. Ooh baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, Im yours.”50. What
58、 is this passage mainly about?A. how a famous couple met and got marriedB. the best way to meet a husband or wifeC. why the show Mr. Right was a big hitD. how to act on a date with a stranger51.

There werent enough guests at the wedding.D. They didnt like Lance.54. In Stevie Wonders song, what is he comparing himself to?A. A b
61、lind man B. A letter C. A groom D. A babyD If you are researching your family tree, youre not alone. Genealogy is currently one of the most popular pastimes on the Internet, which is increasingly being used to trace distant relatives. Some of the most popular Web sites deal with thousands of enquiri
62、es and emails every month.“The progressive breakdown of traditional family values, economic factors and freedom to travel have all spread families out more widely than was once common, and many relatives have lost touch with each other,” explains Gordon Johnson, an author and genealogy expert. “Most
63、 people now interested in genealogy start by looking for family connections a few generations back, or even relatives alive today, and then get hooked on it as a hobby.”One of the most common mistakes made by amateur genealogists is failing to get in touch with living relatives. These relatives can
64、provide vital information on people, dates and places. Relative accounts can be misleading, but they are the most current source of family history available. Other common errors include not knowing the history of the area in which your research is being conducted or assuming that your surname has ne
65、ver been spelled a different way.Another common mistake is for researchers to assume they are the only person researching a particular family line. This is unlikely: any family group spanning several generations will probably contain a few thousand living members. This means that contacting distant
66、cousins can be a timesaving and helpful resource. This is where the Webs strength lies. As a cheap means of communicating across oceans and time zones, the Net is second to none, and thousands of family hunters log on daily to request help and information in the pursuit of their goal.It is also impo
67、rtant that researchers keep careful notes of their information sources. A simple filing(文件归档) system for accessing the data they collect is also vital. This will help to avoid confusion once the information begins to pile up. A number of specialist programs are available to help with this. If you de
68、cide to use one of these programs, shop around and choose the one which most closely matches your needs. The problem with the Internet is that it is a very recent medium. The huge resources it offers only serve to highlight the enormous amounts of vital information that have yet to make it into digi
69、tal format. For the foreseeable future, it is likely that much of the information you need will be found only in books in libraries or in national and local record offices. The online sources are growing fast, but it will be a long time before they completely replace more traditional methods.55. Man
70、y people have become interested in genealogy _.A. because of Web sites on the InternetB. because people travel more nowadaysC. because they want to make contact with relatives D. because it is an interesting hobby56. The writer suggests that starting to research your family tree _.A. can be difficul
71、t B. is best done by speaking to your parentsC. is easy D. should begin by using the Internet 57. Many genealogists make the mistake of _.A. believing everything that their relatives tell them B. not contacting their relativesC. misspelling their relatives names D. ignoring very important informatio
