nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was

ready to go together with me.

As I pushed the basket towards the register(收银机),I

checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might

go to the Express Line(快速通道)where the sign said“Ten

items or less”.

I started to go to that line and my son said,“Mon, you have twelve items!”I said,“You know, but they’re close.” He said,“Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items.”

Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in line with two items.

I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished. Again, my son came up.“Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now. Won’t you just let him go first?”I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times.

It felt good to be with my son and have him remind me not to live a hurried life. Do what’s right and also be kind. I really take pride in him.

41. The writer ________ when she was pushing the basket towards the register.

A. lost something she liked best B. found her favourite item

A

“I’d be better off dead.” he said, without any hesitation. Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s 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 feeling that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was hurt physically and mentally as a young child, causing him to have the thought of killing himself.

He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. However, 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 notice 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 him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the safety 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 helped him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone’s life. Life is not easy for every one, which makes me strongly believe in the necessity of encouragement.

56. According to the first paragraph, hearing his friend’s words, the author felt______.

A. puzzled B. painful C. frightened D. hopeless

57. By saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means ______.

A. he is always ready to help his friend

B. he hardly spares time to help his friend

C. he has no good excuse for refusing his friend

D. he is not good at communicating with his friend

58. The author’s friend got into depression mainly because __________.

A. he lived without his parents B. he had poor health

C. he received little care at school D. he had a terrible childhood

59. What is the best title for the passage?

A. I enjoy friendship B. My friend and I

C. I believe in encouragement D. The story of my friend

B

For these people, looking different isn’t just for October 31.

Star Wars Forever

The force will always be with Luke Kaye. That’s because this dedicated fan has covered his back, arms, and legs with tattoos(纹身) of Star Wars characters. Kaye got his first tattoo about six years ago. Once he started, he just couldn’t stop. “I kept seeing characters in the movies and thinking, ‘That would make a great tattoo!’” he says. Kaye also collects items related to Star Wars. He recently had to sell a large part of his collection because it became too expensive to store it. But he can keep the tattoos forever.

“I am nowhere near finished yet,” says Kaye, who lives in England. He plans to get tattoos of large spaceships down his sides. “You never know with me,” he adds, “I could come home one day with my whole face tattooed.”

The Hole Story

“People often just want to look at me or touch me,” says Elaine Davidson. It’s no wonder. Davidson, who lives in Scotland, is covered with nearly 7,000 piercings (穿环)! According to Guinness World Records, she is the most pierced woman on Earth. Together, Davidson’s studs(耳钉) and rings weigh almost seven pounds. She never removes them. She keeps them on even when she goes through scanners at airports.

Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

A

There are records of fingerprints being taken many centuries ago．The ancient Babylonians pressed the tips of their fingerprints into clay to record business trade．The Chinese used ink-on-paper finger impressions for business． However, fingerprinting wasn't used as a method for identifying criminals until the 19th century．

In 1858, Sir William Herschel was working as an official of the Hooghly district in Jungipoor, India．In order to reduce fraud （诈骗）, he had people living in the district record their fingerprints when signing business documents． A few years later, Scottish doctor Henry Faulds was working in Japan when he discovered fingerprints left by artists on ancient pieces of clay．This finding inspired him to begin investigating fingerprints．In 1880, Faulds wrote to his cousin, the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, and asked for help with developing a fingerprint classification system．Darwin refused, but sent the letter to his cousin．Sir Francis Gallon, who was an eugenicist （优生学生家）．Gallon began collecting fingerprints and eventually gathered some 8, 000 different samples to analyze． In 1892, he published a book called "Fingerprints", in which he outlined a fingerprint classification system—the first existence．

Around the same time, Juan Vucetich, a police officer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was developing his own version of a fingerprinting system．In 1892, Vucetich was called in to assist with the investigation of the two boys murdered in Necochea．a village near Buenos Aires．Their mother, Francisca Rojas, accused a neighbour named Velasquez．But when Vucetich compared the fingerprints found at the murder scene to those of both Velasquez and Rojas, they matched Rojas' exactly．She admitted her crime．This was the first time fingerprints had been used in a criminal investigation．Vucetich called his system comparative dactyloscopy（指纹鉴定法）．It's still used in many Spanish-speaking countries．

Sir Edward Henry, in charge of the Metropolitan Police of London, soon became interested in using fingerprints to catch criminals．In 1896, he added to Gallon's technique, creating his own classification system, the Henry Classification System．It is the primary method of fingerprint

How much money should you spend? So to learn about the art of giving gifts can make it very easy to give gifts. (1) In different situations, some gifts will always work well. At a dinner party, for example, flowers are often needed. If you bring some flowers in a pretty vase(花瓶), it can save the host or hostess a lot of trouble.

Sometimes, before a party, the host will say that no gift is needed or wanted. (3)按照主人的要求去做根有必要。If you bring a gift anyway，people might think you are rude-you didn't follow the host's rules. Don't be a rule-breaker. 51. 将(1)句译成中文。
