We were both in great anger. Never set foot in this house again! stormed father. With tearswelling up in my eyes, I rushed out
10、of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I walked aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now . I dont know whether it is because I have g
11、rown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be o
12、pened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I
13、saw that all the lights still on.I thought to myself: Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me? In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I ca
14、nt stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: “ I cant throw you away, let alone these old papers?”All the lights were off except fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the
15、habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe With the key in hand, I was a nervous as
16、 I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.

I was in the eight grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the
21、test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didnt understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and pu
22、t it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet
23、 and be responsiblefor your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(认真地) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could
24、leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girls test paper. I tried to e
25、xplain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadnt talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe t
26、hat I had cheated on the test.25. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _ . A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school C. there was something wrong with her own D. her own had been taken away by someone26.

A shame, then, that so
28、lar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way toget roundthis. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliv
29、er a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outsi
30、de and charged back up again.The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the systems keeper must buy a scratch cardfor as little as a dollaron which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The co
31、mpanys server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cardswhich Eight19 expects would take the average family
32、around 18 monthsthe user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a
33、slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.According to Eight19s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oilenough to fuel a couple of smoky lampspl
34、us $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.28.The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph
35、can be replaced by _ .A. make use of B. come up with C. look into D. deal with29.How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?A. Around $10. B. Around $80. C. Around $90. D. Around $180.30.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. Kenyan fa
36、milies would find it difficult to afford the solar cellB. using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save moneyC. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricityD. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells31.What might be the most suitable title for the passage
37、?A. Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.B. Eight19: a creative British Company.C. Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.D. Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Energy.DMany of us mistakenly believe that its wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming oursel
38、ves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺
39、陷)?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with youThe person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shyPerhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Dont take yourself out of the
40、 game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with
41、 someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there lookin
42、g for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior(自卑) because you dont
43、have much money and you dontdrive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person. The point is that you c
44、an focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any. 32.
