34 the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much 35 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $ 5.
“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr Berry, when we gave him the 36 . “I really thought that only a few people 37 their band and that the cost would be too high. OK. Angela, your next 38 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Why do people smoke? One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes. The addictive substance in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people relaxed. A smoker’s body becomes used to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to give up smoking, but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable they often find it too hard to do so. Another reason is that people only enjoy smoking. Having a
cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼节). For example, the cigarette after dinner. Lots of people enjoy smoking because it provides something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it, flicking the ashes is especially comfortable in situations where a person feels nervous.
Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufacturers (制造商) have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in Western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it hard to give up smoking, but want to reduce the danger to their health.
41. Lots of people become addicted to cigarettes because ______.
A. smoking does much good to their health
B. they need to get some tar from cigarettes
C. the nicotine goes into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed

When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle
accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.”
I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.
When you put all the good qualities on the scale and you try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much.
I won’t get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.
If there is any purpose at all to Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially families, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.
You may never have another chance.
46. According to the passage, we know that ______.
A. Jim always kept to himself B. Jim did very well in his studies
C. Jim’s parents were patient with him D. Jim failed to finish his high school
47. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Many people in the school loved him. B. Jim’s smile cheered up his family.
C. Jim was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 20.
D. Jim wanted to be a motorcyclist after his graduation.
48. The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means______.
A. annoying B. aggressive C. impatient D. thrilling
49. By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends to______.
A. mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident
B. remind people to be cautious of all motorcycles on the road
C. suggest people taking the chance to express their love in time
D. appreciate more of life than ever before
50. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Love Your Family B. Do It Today
C. Walk with Pride D. Appreciate Smiles

I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”
“Our children grew up in a world at war. 64 They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”
“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. 65 They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”
