20.I loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters.Looking at the ink bottle,pens and white paper,I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later,during her final illness,mother kept different things for my sister and brother,"But the desk,"she said again,"is for Elizabeth."
I never saw her get angry,and never saw her cry.I knew she loved me,and she showed it in action.But as a young girl,I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened and agulf opened between us.I was"too emotional (易动感情的)",but she lived"on the surface".
As years went by and I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer.It didn't come.
It seemed that nothing happened.I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to her.
I only knew that I had written it,and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work,though she had never been able to.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside…a photo of my father and a one-paper letter.Folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer,my letter asks,in any way you choose.Mother,you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

11.It's 10:30pm and getting late.But the Beijing Sanlian Taofen Bookstore is still shining brightly.Hundreds of people are staying inside for one thing:to read!
Earlier this month,the Sanlian Taofen Bookstore started a trial(试运行) to run 24hours a day.If everything goes well,it will become the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing.

"We welcome everyone who loves to read books at any time,"Zhang Zuozhen,the general manager of the store told China Youth Daily.
Although many people can now buy their favorite books online,the experience of immersion(沉浸) in physical books still attracts readers.
"There is no other choice to replace the touch of different qualities of paper and the smell of print,"Qian Xiaohua,the founder of Librairie Avant-Garde(先锋书店) in Nanjing told Xinhua.
It's true.A great bookstore can encourage people to read in many ways.
Some attract readers with their huge stock(库存) of literature.Foyles in the UK was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest bookshop in terms of shelf area (50km).You can find books with 56subjects from fiction(小说) to law and philosophy at its flagship store(旗舰店).Foyles also offers coffee and desserts to readers.
Other bookstores make themselves a cultural hub by holding lots of reading-related activities.Eslite Bookstore(诚品书店),a well-known 24-hour bookstore in Taiwan provides activities including talks with famous writers as well as holding exhibitions.Their topics range from literature and arts to opera and the environment.At Eslite,people not only read but also socialize(社交) and care about broader issues.
In many countries,secondhand bookstores have made reading more available to everyone.Strand Bookstore in the US sells used books for﹩2-3(12-18yuan) each.It helps to keep old books being read and make reading cheaper.Sometimes you can find very old,rare(罕见的) or simply out-of-print books at Strand,fo r example,a Shakespeare book that was published in 1632.The book is worth﹩125,000(about 778,000 yuan)!How many books do people around the world read a year?According to UNESCO,a Russian reads 55books a year,an American reads 21and a Japanese reads17.How about China?According to China people read just 4.39books on average per year,which is 15.38minutes of reading per day.
Do you think bookstores are just square buildings with bookshelves?In facts,they can be more diverse(多变的) and colorful.Here are two world's funny bookstores.
Selexyz Dominicanen,the Netherlands with three-story steel bookshelves is a heaven of books which used to be an 800-year-old church.When you read at the top of the shelf,you can enjoy the 14th-century ceiling(房顶) paintings.Bart's Books,US is a bookstore that you can enjoy the sunshine while reading books.Because the bookshelves face the street.


81.The Beijing Sanlian Taofen BookstoreD.
A.closes after 10:30pm every day         B.is a good place to borrow books
C.started a trial two months ago          D.will become the 24-hour bookstore

8.Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted,a research shows.It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use,watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people's eyes.They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia.In all,30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted-this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading,watching television and playing computer games.However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors-90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Ian Morgan,from the Australian Research Council's vision Centre,said,"Humans are naturally long-sighted,but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors,the number of short-sighted people gets larger.We're also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light.But why does playing outside  prevent us from becoming short-sighted?Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors.It doesn't matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

31.How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the  research?D
A.30 minutes.
B.60 minutes.
C.90 minutes.
D.120 minutes.
32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.
B.There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children because  they have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.
C.There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a  day playing outside.
D.When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.
33.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?B
A.Why natural daylight has a special chemical.
B.Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
C.Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
D.What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.

12.Tony:These days,the word"clone"has appeared very often in the newspapers.Do you know its meaning?
Lana:I read a report.It said that Dr.Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb*named Dolly from a grown-up sheep.So people call him the"father"of Dolly.
Tony:In fact,the word"clone"means to produce the"same"animal by taking cells*from a

Tony:Then can we clone a living person?
Lana:Again no!You might clone yourself one after another,but it is only a copy,not a rea l you.It is only something,not a"human".
Tony:Well,you mean that it is not a real human.

"We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料),"Piccard said.
