It was late summer August. My father and I, a 10-year-old boy, were rowing on the lake to the other side. It was a small park named Bear Mountain. The 36 overhead provided some relief (缓解) from the heat. The trip was really
comfortable and peaceful. Then I stopped rowing, sat back and closed my eyes 37 I heard Dad rowing quietly.
Suddenly I heard a buzzing (嗡嗡声), close to my right ear. I sat there still and looked at my father, with great hopes of his help. ―Don’t move and he’ll not 38 you,‖ said my father and kept rowing. I thought to myself, ―What is he talking about?‖ Then I looked 39 me and saw it. A bee! A large terrible bee! For me, it was more than 40 , although I couldn’t explain why, neither my mother nor my doctors. At that time, I must have looked like a statue (雕塑). However, my father just rowed. ―He’s tired. Once he’s rested enough, he’ll keep on 41 .‖
Was I hearing correctly? Was my father telling me to just let the terrible bee sit on my shoulder? I 42 my head slowly toward the right and saw there he sat. As I watched him, I became more and more interested in his bright yellow and black jacket. The fear was little by little disappearing and I felt more 43 . But before I could do anything, he began testing his wings and then flew 44 . I was able to track (跟踪) him and saw him cross the water and head into the forest. I sat back and looked at Dad. ―I 45 you.‖ was all he said. We rowed away without any words on the way.
More than 30 years have passed since that afternoon, but the 46 at that moment has taken root (根) in my heart. In the following years I thought hard about that tired bee. I realized that for the first time in my life I connected to something 47 than myself. I came to believe he was sent to give me a lesson that we are all one. No man is an island. 36. A. cloud 37.

I always say that Chinese New Year is a time for the three Fs:family, friends and fireworks. The first two I don’t have a problem with (naturally).But the third one is more dangerous sometimes.I’d like to give you some advice about how to protect ourselves against fireworks.
Never use fire in order to read instructions of the fireworks. Use a flashlight instead. Do not wear any loose(宽松的)clothing as they can easily catch fire.
Do not try to set off fireworks from your balcony(阳台) or parking lot. Find out an open space that is away from dry trees, grass to play in instead.
Always keep some water nearby. It’s always better to be prepared. If a firework fails to go off, do not check it out. Instead, stand a few meters away and quickly wet it with water. Do not set off firework after drinking.
If there are people setting off fireworks nearby, be sure to stand far enough. The further away you are, the better.
48. We should set off fireworks_______________________.
A. on the balcony B. in an open apace
C. under a tree
D. in a parking lot

Pocket money is surprisingly interesting subject. Is it right to give it to children? Of course, it is. The reasons for giving pocket money are to teach children how to spend wisely, save all the time and understand financial (金融的) realities. A good age to start would be in kindergarten (幼儿园).
Some parents believe children should get pocket money by doing some housework. Others use pocket money as a prize for good behaviour or school work. Yet others think it should be independent of expectations about acting well. In the end, this is a personal decision.
As for restrictions (限制) about what the money is spent on, each family should set its own general rules, but letting children make their own decision is an important part of development. Having their own money gives children added responsibility and a sense of independence.
Top pocket money suggestions: Pay it on a set day each week or month. Set up a money box for younger children. Open a bank account (账户) for older children.
Discuss what you can afford to pay and how they can get more. Explain how they can save up for things that they want.

The sun beat down on Zhang Tingjun as she ran the ―City of Peace‖ marathon (马拉松) in Dili, East Timor, last June. As the 28-year-old came up to the finish line, she felt something rising in her throat (喉咙). When she was done, she caught sight of her three running mates and saw that they were also troubled by emotion. It was not because their unpleasant experience was over. For Zhang and her friends, each step they took would help save a life.
It all started in July 2009 when the four young Singaporean women decided to go on an adventure (历险) together. Someone suggested a five-day bicycle race and they jumped at it.
Soon they were talking about the poverty (贫穷) that has troubled East Timor. ―The conversation slowly turned to a common subject—to use adventure as a chance for change,‖ Zhang recalls. They set up The Chain Reaction Project (TCRP), with the goal of using their love for sport and adventure to help the poor.
In addition to their four-hour-a-day training plan, they asked families, friends and workmates for donations (赞助). Their first efforts raised just $78. Then out of the blue, Zhang’s friend, Ivy Singh Lim, donated $15,550. ―To have someone believe what we are doing means more than the money in my hand,‖ says Zhang. In all they raised more than $35,000.
The four friends arrived in Dili in August 2009, several days ahead of the start of the race. Needing a place to stay, they took up an offer to camp at HIAM Health, a children saving center.
During their week at the center, the women learned that more than half of Timorese children under five don’t have enough food. They also discovered that the center was trying to get enough money to prove what it could do to help. TCRP came to a decision the money they had raised would go to HAIM Health.
One child at the center rounded Zhang’s heart. Two-year-old Sarah came from a poor family. ―Sometimes the children’s condition is so bad that they cannot grow normally. But Sarah received help early enough and became all right soon,‖ Zhang recalls.
When the TCRP members returned for the 2010 Dili marathon, they were joined by 18 other runners. The group raised
C. Three.
D. Four.
56. What does Kimberly C Sombrito mainly plan to do? A. To encourage himself in life.
B. To learn some living skills. D. To invent something for himself.
C. To enjoy life as much as possible.
$10,000 for HIAM Health, as well as a $21,750 playground donated by Playpoint Singapore. Today HIAM Health plays an important role in poor children’s lives.
TCRP next plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, in February 2011. Their goal: to raise at least $30,000 for AIDS children.
―We know a $ 10,000 donation isn’t going to save the world,‖ Zhang says. ―The effort of a group of people will be far greater than the four of us can achieve on our own.‖
57. Which of the following is the four women’s first adventure? A. The five-day bicycle race. C. The camping during night. A. The poor in East Timor. C. Children who need food. A. $10,000.
.
