16、st friends mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording. I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came
17、 over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts. He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his fami
18、ly. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first. Many students at his school laugh at him when they no
19、tice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about hi
20、m unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taug

25、s far greater than just “great literature” February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writers birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Lets take a look at two of them.A white ChristmasDickens is described as “the man who invented Christm
26、as”not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today. In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on
27、 Christmas Day unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.Many people believe that Dickens popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put
28、 forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth “ home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “ Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”“Dickensian” povertyDickens was o
29、ne of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian (the period during British Queen Victorias reign from 1837 to 1901) London.He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作风） in a way that
30、particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty.

45、during the day.DMoral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within
46、. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook. I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impress
47、ion on me, though.If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms（规范）and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist
48、 in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likel
49、y to develop it as well.In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons s
50、hould simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior. 67.Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?A. Morality doesnt strictly belong to a scienceB. Morality is more like a social phenomenon
51、.C. Different generations have different moral ideas.D. Morality cant be written down in textbooks.68. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _. A. explain telling lies is not moral for little children. B. advise people should be rewarded for their goodness. C. p
52、rove moral lessons in schools have little effect. D. show he has no opinions about moral science.69. When you tell a child about morals, you should_. A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others B. tell him about social norms and cultural differences C. explain that nobody can influence hi
53、s moral ideas. D. say that the present morals are likely to be changed.70.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The best way of teaching children about morals. B. The value of teachers setting a good example C. The influence of peoples behavior on morals. D. The importance of rewarding good be

55、ment but also by car manufacturers. By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the cars windscreen. 75 Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in fr
56、ont to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.”says Davis. “but all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.” The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerize

So the idea that in 20 years time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.E. Every driver will use le
