16、 Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the _36_ in her eyes.

Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly beli
25、eves that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing, “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer
26、indeed.”she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,”she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher
27、 who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them. I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always saidNonsense, Mollie; dear, youll be a writer.So finally I thought that this woman must have something,
28、 since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.” This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的)and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition and her struggle t
29、owards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免的)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over
30、 my childhood. Ill never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant ex
31、ist for them, as it did for us.” 56. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.B. It should be attractive to young readers.C. It should be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.57. In Mollie Hunters opinion
32、, which of the following is one sign of poor writer?A. Being poor in life experienceB. Being short of writing skill.C. The weakness of descriptionD. The absence of a story.58. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child？A. She didnt expect to become a writer.B. She didnt enjoy writing stor
33、ies.C. She didnt have any particular ambition.D. She didnt respect her teachers view.59. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that children now are _.A. more intelligentB. better informedC. less eager to learnD. less interested in reality60. Whats the writers purpose in this te
34、xt?A. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunters book.B. To introduce Mollie Hunters work to a wider audience.C. To provide information for Mollie Hunters existing readers.D. To describe Mollie Hunters most successful books.BParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends
35、. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,
36、Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?”says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the gene
37、ration gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversation on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship
38、that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a
39、 change happening,”says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural chan
40、ges led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourage everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,”explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
41、 because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”61. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _.A. interest B. distance C. difference D. separation62. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disa
42、ppearing?A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B. Parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D. Parents share more interests with their children.63. The change in todays parent-child relationship is _.A. mor
43、e confusion among parentsB. new equality between parents and childrenC. less respective for parents from childrenD. more strictness and authority on the part of parents64. By saying“todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” the author means that todays parents _.A. follow the trend
44、of the changeB. can set a limit to the changeC. fail to take the change seriouslyD. have little difficulty adjusting to the change.65. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. describe the difficulties todays parents have met withB. discuss the development of the parent-child relationshipC. suggest the

If both your parents are tall, there is a good chance youll be tall. But if your parents are smaller than average
46、, you may want to rethink that professional basketball career! The same goes for your body type. Have you ever heard someone say a person is “big boned?” Its a way of saying the person has a large frame, or skeleton(骨骼). Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. Thats why its possible for two k
47、ids with the same height, but different weight, to both the right weight. Being overweight can run in someones family, but it may not be because of their genes. Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and these may be the reasons the members of a family are overweight. And even though s
48、ome kids gain weight more easily than others, when they eat right and exercise, most kids can have a healthy weight thats right for them. Its true- the way you live can change the way you look. How much your weight is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. If you eat more c
49、alories than your body needs to use, you will gain too much weight.
