But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occur
18、red to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.“OK, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily, I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being
19、expression of support from his sister.All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers（螃蟹螯;钳子）and crawled towards them, “Crabby（似螃蟹的）Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laugh
20、ing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves mys
21、elf. It only shows just how to get rid of something（ill-feelings, responsibility）by blaming others. Its not my “best self”.We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They dont need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, Im reminded of
22、the words of a great thinker, “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook” Then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world?

34、nted not long ago C. things that look very strange D. useful things in peoples daily lifeCWhy do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The latest study of the effects of ageing on the
35、heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores Univ
36、ersity in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little los
37、s of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy pers
38、ons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.

39、eir leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.44. The text mainly talks about _. A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing process、C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life45. the text, the UK scientists have known that _.

41、rt loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20D With the popularity of Harry Potter novels, the number of children applying to boarding schools has risen, many of the
42、m hoping to find their own version of Hogwarts. However, others have interpreted this trend as a reaction to longer working hours and the break up of more marriages. The boarding schools of fiction are presented as one long midnight feast with pillow fights making firm friendships. However, some peo
43、ple say the reality is children having more homesickness and a lack of individual attention. Modern boarding schools have done much to get rid of the image of the mass dormitories with 40 or more beds in one room, some going as far as providing private rooms with bathrooms. Similarly, they make grea
44、t announcements for their academic advantage, particularly in light of the increase in exams, homework and university entrance requirements facing children wishing to succeed in the modern world. Alongside these more conventional schools, two types of boarding schools have also become more popular r
45、ecently. Sports academies and stage schools seek to cater for children with particular interests and talents, while so-called troubled-teens have been able to turn to a range of religious or wilderness schools to solve their problematic behavior. Boarding schools allow children a safe space in which
46、 to accomplish greater control and independence over their daily lives. Teachers and staff can look after and support but they are unlikely to be over-protective. This can be a great preparation for university or for working away from home in later life as it provides an intermediate step between ch
47、ildhood and full independence. However, parents are a childs most natural support and best role models to learn from. If they are separated from them for long periods of time, this may damage their relationship and leave the child feeling anxious or alone. Schools are unlikely to be able to copy the
48、 detailed knowledge of each individual child that a parent has and therefore cannot be as effective in supporting the child. To sum up, boarding schools have both their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to decide whether to send your children to boarding schools or not.47. What do we
49、know from the passage? A. More and more children go and visit Hogwarts on their own. B. Pillow fights in boarding schools make firm friendships in reality. C. More children want to go to boarding schools because of Harry Potter novels. D. There arent special schools for the particularly talented chi
50、ldren.48. What kind of schools may be the most suitable for the so-called troubled-teens? A. sports academies B. Wilderness schools C. Conventional schools D. Stage schools49. We learn from Paragraph 4 that _. A. teachers of boarding schools are the best examples for children to learn from B. childr
51、en can be more independent if they are separated from their parents C. parents know their children better than teachers of boarding schools D. schools are much more effective than parents in supporting children50.

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psycholog
53、ists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _52_ .
