28、ked everywhere for it, but I couldnt find it anywhere.The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them and told them what we were going to do that day.When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class burst into a roar (大笑声)! They l
29、aughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would come in to see all this.I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared ev
30、en more.Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about.“Good heavens,” I said, “Will someone please tell me what is so funny?” “Oh, God,” said the teacher, “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!”So thats how I found my husbands missing so

34、it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or
35、taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda ea
36、ts only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats frui
37、ts and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too mu
38、ch sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60We can infer from the text that humans and animals _.A.
39、 depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their foodC. eat entirely different food D. choose food in similar ways61Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The small bird. B. The white butterfly. C. The bear D. The fox62Certain animals change their choice of food wh

F
41、rench and British food is good.CMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses
42、this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in
43、 the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are
44、 new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten yea
45、rs from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these sy
46、stems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”64. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN. C.

49、xperienced teacher.D I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice
50、smile. I thought, well, hes an old guy!For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “Hows it going?” But he did something different-he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage t
51、hem in brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” a
52、nd someone would reply, “Have a great day!”But that wasnt the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye
53、-bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name-Mar
54、ty.Who was that guy?

57、writer intend to express through the text?AOur everyday life is always full of surprises.BMost customers enjoy being treated this way.CA little positive action can make a big difference.DBeing different is a good way of doing business.E Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the eff
