He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen t
12、able was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. “How much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing a
13、t the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. “Thirty dollars, miss.” Her smile disappeared, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. “I just work here. I cant change the price.” The sudden melancholy（忧郁）in my mothers face made me sad. The man
14、 looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches in the corner. “Behind it is a tree that we cant sell. You can have it for free.” “Thank you, sir,” I said.There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branchesalmost a
15、 ghost（幽灵）of a tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take it all if you want to, miss.”We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldnt imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son.
16、 Santa will decorate the tree for us.”I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him ab
17、out the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier. Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.21. Why did the mother decide to get the tree in the evening?A. She wanted to buy it at a lower price.B. She was fully occupied during the day.C. She was
18、 waiting for the father to pick it up.D. She had made an appointment with the seller. 22. How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behind the branches?A. Disappointed.B. Delighted.C. Frightened.D. Relieved. 23. What brought the father to tears?A. The pain of his war wound.B. The efforts his wif
19、e put into the tree.C.The reunion with his family.D. The decorations his son made for the tree.BTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.Wha
20、tever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible but you might end up with a rather dull book. A book-lover rarely adopts this method of selection. All too often you soon become absorbed in some bo
21、ok or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There
22、 are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You neednt buy anything you dont want.
23、In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire considerately and look as if he
24、is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rub
25、bing something which had only uncertainly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge a
26、ccount, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.24. What is most likely to happen to a book-lover in a bookshop? A. Lost in some book, he forgets something else important.B. Annoyed by the shop assistant, he dashes off for an appointment. C. Attracted by its cover, he bu
27、ys some book turning out to be a dull one. D. Unsatisfied with its surroundings, he leaves the shop without buying a book.25. In the authors opinion, a shop assistant in a bookshop is supposed to _. A. greet customers in a more suitable manner B. retire from the job if he has no passion for it C. le
28、ave customers alone before services are needed D. offer nice services from the very moment customers step into the shop26. In a bookshop with a diversity of books, you tend to _. A. ignore the latest best-selling novel B. be trapped in a dangerous situation C. buy some book you are not at all intere
29、sted in D. buy other books instead of those you initially wantCFar from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚) in which students either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform (符合) to a stereotype, a US study says. Bo
30、ys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study go against rece
31、ived wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
32、 The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and gettin
33、g them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have mo
34、re acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern style in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James w
35、rote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the st
36、udy reported.27. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It makes girls less emotional than boys.B. It fails more boys than girls academically.C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.28. According to Abigail James, boy
37、s perform better in single-sex schools because _.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in B. boys focus more on their lessons without being disturbedC. teaching quality is relatively higher than in mixed schools D. teaching can be designed to suit the characteristics of boys29. Wh
38、ich of the following is NOT characteristic of boys?A. Boys have sharper vision.B. Boys enjoy being in charge.C. Boys like “hands-on” lessons. D. Boys prefer physical activities.30.

88、help depressed and mentally ill people. They say with “hip hop therapy”, many of the words to the hip hop songs can reach out to people with emotional problems. A team of doctors wrote a report about this in a special medical magazine. The doctors said a lot of hip hop music speaks of getting over h

These are all problems that can lead to depression and mental illnesses. The report on hip hop and mental health says hip hop artists use their talents to describe their

The doctors chose five hip hop songs for the therapy. One is a classic 1982 tune by Grandmaster Flash. Another is a track called “Juicy” by the Notorious BIG. This tells people they can be successful even if others say they cant. BIG explains how teachers said he would be nothing, but then he became a superstar.
