    It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forgot her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
    Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
    “I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
    What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
    She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
    “Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
    He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
    “No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
    “No, granny.”
    Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
    The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

    A．the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter
    B．the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post
    C．Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother
    D．the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life
    小题2:The old lady felt _______ when she saw no packet came with her daughter’s card.
    A．excitedB．happyC．disappointedD．impatient
    小题3:Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?
    A．The PresentB．The CheckC．The BirthdayD．The Daughter
    小题4: The reason why the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that _______.
    A．she was sure her daughter would come, not the check
    B．she didn’t notice there were six figures on the check
    C．she didn’t think the check was large enough for a present

    A very little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him a plastic pail (桶) and a shiny, red plastic shovel (铲). In the   36  of creating roads and tunnels in the sand, he   37  a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
    The boy dug around the rock,   38  to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much   39 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by   40  his hands. When the boy got the rock to the   41  of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and   42  the little wall.   43 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some   44 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only   45  was to have the rock roll back.
    Finally he   46  tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window   47  the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large   48  appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but   49 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”
    Defeated, the boy   50  back, “I did! I did! I used all the strength that I had!”
    “No, you didn’t. You didn’t ask me for help.” The father   51  down, picked up the rock and dropped it off the sandbox.
    Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be   52 ? Are you discovering that you don’t have   53  it takes to lift them? There is someone who is willing to give us the   54  we need. Maybe, it’s sometimes a good idea to ask others for   55  when we meet difficulties we can’t overcome.

    “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”

And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.

    In a new article, Zehr, a professor at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, describes his success in using the Caped Crusader (披篷骑士) to engage students in the study of physiology.
    "Batman (蝙蝠侠) has such powerful influence on readers because he is a fictional human with superpowers that seem within reach if we only work at it," writes Zehr, in a new article published in Advances in Physiology Education, a journal of the American Physiological Society. Zehr believes that it is not Batman's vast wealth that allows him to protect the citizens of Gotham City (哥谭市) , but his dedication to developing a wide range of physical skills.
    Zehr uses Batman to establish a framework, grounded in his fictional universe as well as our real one, in order to discuss the various components of exercise and physical training and illustrate how the body's physiological systems respond. His experiences in teaching undergraduate courses in physiology and neurophysiology made him realize that connecting science to popular culture helped students understand the lessons better.
    He first presented a formal analysis of the personal and physical discipline that would be required to transform an ordinary person into a superhero in his book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero. The book drew on Zehr's understanding and work in human movement and the plasticity of nerves and muscles associated with exercise. By coincidence, the book was published in the wake of The Dark Knight, the blockbuster movie which recounts Batman and his arch-enemy, the Joker.
    With the casting almost complete for the sequel(续集), The Dark Knight Rises, Dr. Zehr writes about his experiences connecting science to popular culture, which is captured in the Advances, article, "A Personal View: From Claude Bernard to the Batcave and Beyond: Using Batman as a hook for physiology education." 
    小题1:In Zehr's opinion, what makes Batman be able to defend his citizens?
    A．his large amount of fortuneB．his devotion to developing varieties of physical skills
    C．his habit of wearing a capeD．his developing so wide range of magic power
    小题2: Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the third paragraph?
    A．Students of physiology and neurophysiology should have more physical training
    B．To become a batman needs developing a wide range of physical skills
    C．Only Batman can illustrate the respond of the body’s physiological system
    D．combining science with popular culture can be beneficial to students’ study
    小题3:To help students study physiology well, Dr.Zehr uses Batman to do the following EXCEPT___
    A．set up his theoretical principles of teaching physiology
    B．discuss the different components of physical training
    C．illustrate the ways of body’s physiology system responding
    D．perform many physiology experiments on the body movement
    小题4:.According to the book Becoming Batman, what does the possibility of becoming a superhero mainly lie on?
    A．Dr. Zehr’s formal analyses of the body's movement rules
    B．the flexibility of nerves and muscles when being trained well
    C．the physical training conducted by Dr. Zehr
    D．the final influence of Batman on one person
    小题5:This passage is mainly about          .
    A．Batman’seducation significance in physiologyB．introduction to Zehr’ s books on physiology
    C．how to become a superhero like BatmanD．Batman’s powerful effects on the readers

    “If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes,” advises Stephen Pribut, a US sports medicine expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. They provide stability（牢固）while bearing up to three times the wearer’s body weight. But it’s not easy to find the right pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel.
    The science part begins with the shape of the arch（弓）of your foot, which anyone can find out at home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you see a “C” shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That’s a normal arch.
    Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral(for high arches), stability(for normal or low arches) and motion control(for flat arches). So you will know which type suits you.
    At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on. But professionals would do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it’s not at the forefoot---where the foot actually bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a towel, it means there’s zero support. Finally, you squeeze(挤)the heel in both directions. A stable heel won’t cave in.
    Now you need to check the mold(模子)that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether it’s wide or narrow in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.
    It’s wise to hold off until the afternoon to make the shoe purchase, to allow for any swelling(肿胀) that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choice. The rule is you need a finger’s width from your longest toe (whether that’s your big one or not) to the end of the shoe.
