Reading ComprehensionSection A Cloze 15 At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young wo
20、man who bore a son on the same day. Partly because my parents owned a shop selling flowers, the room was soon _39_ the lovely smell of roses. As the seventh arrangement for flowers was brought in, I was beginning to feel _40_, for no flowers had arrived for my _41_, Ann. She sat on the edge of her b
21、ed and leaned forward to _42_ the latest bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much struggling, too much _43_ for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone elses flowers. “Im enjoying
22、 every minute of this,” she said as though she had read my _44_. “Wasnt I the lucky one to get you for a roommate?” I still felt uncomfortable, however. If only there were some magic button I could push to _45_ the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least I can see that she has some flowers. W
23、hen my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send her some flowers. The flowers arrived just as Ann and I were finishing supper. “Another bouquet for you,” she said, smiling. “No, not this time,” I said, looking at the card. “These are for you.” Ann _46_ at eh flowers a long tim
24、e, not saying anything. She ran her fingers across the pale-blue vase and lightly touched each of the sweetheart roses as though trying to impress them on her _47_. “How can I ever thank you?” she said softly. I felt _48_ , for it was such a little kindness on my part. The son born to my husband and
25、 me that day in 1956 _49_ our only child. For nearly 21 years he filled our lives with love and laughter, making us feel _50_. But on Easter morning in April 1977, after a long, painful _51_ with cancer, he died quietly in our arms. At the funeral home I was alone with my son in a room filled with t
26、he scent of roses, when a deliveryman brought in a tiny bouquet. I didnt read the card until later, as we drove to the _52_. “To W. John Graves,” the card said, “from the boy who was born with you at Memorial Hospital, and his mother.” Only then did I _53_ the vase I had given to a sad young woman s
27、o many years ago, now once again filled with roses. Ann and I had long since lost touch. She had never known our son, never been aware of his illness. She must have read the notice of his death in a newspaper. “A kindness returned,” Mother said.39. A. covered withB. equipped with C. furnished with D

This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that ex
31、ist only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for words and talks in a halting manner. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloque
32、ntly. Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. It all boils to this-yo
33、u cant judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be.54. The main idea of this passage is _. A. dont ju
34、dge a book by its cover B. dont judge a persons intelligence by appearances C. dont make the mistake of thinking the young man stupid D. people may fool you putting up a good front 55. The young man mentioned in the passage _. A. was stupid B. was a good student C. was a talented writer D. was succe
35、ssful with girls 56. According to the passage, true knowledge of a persons intelligence comes from _. A. the testimony of his teachersB. the grades he gets in schoolC. how he behaves in different situationsD. his outward appearance （B）You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia fast-food
36、generation. Dr. Chang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat t
37、he same volume of food, their calorie intake has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chang.Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture-namely Asians hospitality - is a reason for the fatness of todays generation, according to Chang. “Asian peo
38、ple love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In todays climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for
39、significant occasions.“In the past people had four or more childrennow, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them”. Says Chang. “The easiest way is to give them quality food. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing th
40、e physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chang says “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they dont move, and eventually, they dont want to move because they are fat.”Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games
41、 to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke, says Chang.57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Asian people tend to save more money.B. Asian children depart from t
42、heir diet tradition.C. Asian children eat big meals on more occasions.D. Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children.58.

The purpose of this art
44、icle is to _.A. compare the traditional diet with todays diet of Asian children.B. find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian peopleC. explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadaysD. prove the relationship between fatness and indoor play(C)Everywhere you will always find “the whi
