　　All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower．A close friend came for a visit the other day．I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom．I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away．
　　That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose．I said that she cou I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them．Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
　　To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said．With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut．Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy such a charming smile?
　　My mind was shocked：the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people．
The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ________．
she can make money out of them

The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．
thrown away
Why did the writer's close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
Because the roses were not beautiful．
Because she loved the roses very much．
Because she did not like this kind of roses．
Because the writer did not want to give her any．
What is the best title for the passage?
The Pity of People to the Roses
A Lover of Flowers
A Lovely Rose Garden
The Smiling Face of the Earth

It means getting new school bags and books, and seeingfriends again after the summer holiday. My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked meseveral times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son,6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year. For the last three years, school was anightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and therewere more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents preventedtheir children from going to school. One of six children in this country didnot attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school wereaccompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened totheir children. For poor families or those with largefamilies, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives somehelp to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books andother items(商品) aregiven for free. Most of the merchants who sell notebooksand pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. Theysit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small tableto sell their goods. The bags cost between $10 and $20, whileclothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed formy sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each ofthem, including school uniforms. At the end of the day, we returned to ourhome carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happyand excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be apeaceful one. 56．The author’s children are ________ to go to school.A.eager&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&B.afraid&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&C.unwilling&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&D. surprised57．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to________.

The danger of what lay ahead ofthem, the chances of them ever returning to find us, the fear that we mightnever know their fate and possible delays, at first made us feel low anddiscouraged. But it was not for long. There was nothing like a good dinner ofpenguin(企鹅) and somedynamic music to make a man feel more cheerful again.Life now fell into a regular pattern. Justkeeping alive took all our time and energy. For example, we had to gather freshwater by grasping and then melting sea-ice. If this drinking But melting theice was a problem. With no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, the onlyfuel we could use was seal fat. This gave off oily, black smoke but had headvantage of burning strongly in fierce winds. We could also eat the remainswhen the fire died down.Food was also a problem as there were novegetables or fruit to be found. As one of’ our group, Lionel Greenstreet notedin his diary after a few weeks how bored he was with the meals: “The food nowis pretty well all meat -- seal steaks, cooked seal, penguin steaks, cookedpenguin liver.” As a chef, it was my duty to clean and cook these animals, so Iwas soon being encouraged to vary the meals in whatever way I could. It wasdifficult.We had to be very particular about ourpersonal care because a changeable temperature could harm us. It was almost asdangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too coldfrom wearing too few. Becoming too hot led to sweating and this could freezevery quickly. Another part of the body that needed special caution was theeyes. The ice and snow reflected dangerous rays from the sun so that if we didnot wear sunglasses we would suffer from sun-blindness.Four months of this was as much as thetwenty-two of us could bear in this bone-numbing cold. We were lucky that ourgroup wolf worked hard to show an admirable mental attitude and dealt with ourever-present fears in a positive and successful way. Above all, Shackletonencouraged us to have celebrations: for birthdays, festivals or even justbecause of a good catch of penguin. This kept us cheerful and encouragedharmony in the group.When rescue did come, we felt such reliefand joy that many of us could not hide our tears. We were at last free to gohome to a warm bed, good food and the care of our family and friends. Ouroptimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive andhe had repaid us by his commitment to return and save us from a slow butpainful death.

To find out how the name Canada came about,we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed ofdiscovering and controlling more land across the world. In 1535 Francois I,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore the New world and search for apassage to India. Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of theSt. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not knowwhat to expect but he hoped that this Gulfwas just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If itwas, he would soon be on his way to the FarEast. So he sailed upwards along the St. LawrenceRiver. However, instead of reaching Asia hearrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians calledit. It was at this point that the term“Canada” entered the country’s history. Clearly the word“Canada” came from an Indian word “Kanata”,which means village.

Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. TheSpring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some greatEnglish language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family. Before getting into therecommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension levelso you don’t pick a book which is so challenging thatit’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring. If you’reat the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’veread in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar wordsor phrases, since you’re already familiar with thestory. If you’re at the intermediate level,popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, asthey’ll be guaranteed page turners and that willincrease the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. Foradvanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.The most important thing is topick a book that you’re really interested in. When Ipick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard toget through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author usesthe language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier,especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-languageeye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer byHai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action andstory development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through thosefirst few chapters.Another great way to keepyourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals thatyou both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with eachother by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with myfriend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we wereclassmates in Chinese at college.Some quick recommendations: HarryPotter, start with the first book
the Nanything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha C andif you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. Butreally you should just find a topic or author that you’reinterested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

Our boat floated on between walls offorest. It was too thick for us to get a view of the land we were passingthrough, though we knew from the map that our river must be passing throughchains of hills from time to time. Nowhere did we find a place where we couldhave landed: although the jungle did not actually spread right down intothe river, banks of soft mud prevented us from going ashore. In any case, whatwould we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and otherdangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able toadvance slowly, cutting one's way with knives the whole way. So we stayed inthe boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pickus up and take us to civilization.As for water, there was a choice. Wecould drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Menwho have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worriesabout such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of ussuffered from any illness as a result.One day we passed another village, butfortunately nobody saw us.

Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, forexample. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. &But these are thefastest known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!&Once the trap door closes on thevictim, the enzymes (酶）similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insert.When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wetareas with soil that doesn't offer much food nutrition. In such conditions,these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needsover thousands of years.

Are you still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!Communieating with negative people canwash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicatinglong enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but somepeople are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. Theyonly feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly winothers' pity or respect.When you communicate with positivepeople, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things areattracted. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you have theheavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but tocommunicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. Inthis case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feelsgood to let out your anger back to the negative person, but this is to loweryou to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves aboutthat.Negativity often affects happinesswithout even being realized. The negative words of others at the start of theday can be attached to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes youfeel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative.
