Five years ago, when it was time for my cousin to start college, my 75-year-old grandfather, Rex, decided to do the same. He went to    1 , taking classes twice a week until his death last summer.
As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office   2    and completing assignments. Although he was twice as    3     as his professors, he loved going. He said,“You can never  4    too much, no matter how old you are.”He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion.
My grandfather’s will to learn was a great   5    for me to do my best in school. We were always     6    with each other, trying to bring home the better grade.
When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on the       7   . He felt like he could beat the unstoppable no matter what came in his way---whether it was his continuing with cancer     8  a tough professor.
Some people look to Superman or Batman as their   9   , but my grandfather will forever be my hero, the      10   who always came to my rescue. My grandfather was made the hall of fame(名人堂) at his high school as one of the school’s most successful football players. When I did some research I   11 that his nickname was Atlas. In Greek mythology(神话), Atlas held the heavens on his shoulders. For my grandfather’s football team, he was  12 Atlas, holding the team together. He was my Atlas too, as the foundation of our family.
In my times of need he was always there to    13     me and celebrate my accomplishments. I could count on him to help me out and stand by me. The strength he  14    with me will continue to hold me up as I forever keep his memory    15   in my heart and mind.

  For five days, Edmonton’s Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves .Since is beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(念)the ture feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
  This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation ," Riedel said.

A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.

Kong Zi , also called Confucius (551-479 B.C) , and Socrates(苏格拉底) (469-399 B. C) lived only a hundred years apart , and during their lifetimes there was no contact (联系)between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers(哲学家) came from shaped their ideas , and how these ideas in turn ,shaped their societies.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:” Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
小题1:Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common,
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
小题2:Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that           .
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
小题3:What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A. Family.B.Potential(潜力). C.Knowledge.D.Community.

 Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly.” It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. “But somehow the action got reversed(颠倒)in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”
Twenty percent of all errors were “test failures” — mainly due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on — much to his surprise. A woman reported, “I got into the bath with my socks on.”
The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.
The research so far suggests that while the central processor of the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practiced routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be gotten by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.
小题1:The purpose of the professor’s research is to __________.
A.show the difference between men and women
B.sort and explain some errors in human actions
C.find the causes which lead to computer failures
D.compare computer functions with brain working
小题2:Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?
A.A woman went to a shop and forgot what to buy.
B.A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C.A lady fell as she was paying attention to each step her feet were taking.
D.An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
小题3:The underlined word “verifying” (in paragraph 3) can be replaced by “_______”.
A.improvingB.changingC.checkingD.stopping
小题4:According to the passage, the information “storage failure” refers to “_______”.
A.information collecting system being destroyed
B.one’s total memory being removed
C.the loss of part of one’s memory for a time
D.the separation of one’s action from words

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these  41   are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are  42   and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows  43   and pale and has changed so much that it is almost  44   to the parents. It was then  45   that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and  46   the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 47.  However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been  48 . In those cases there was often a way to get the  49   baby back.

Linus Pauling,the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes,was born in Portland,Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962,long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Orgon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it.
He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substance. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry,especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts,the amino acids(氨基酸),which are called the“building blocks of life”.In 1950,he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule,a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.
During World WarⅡ,Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security,for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However,the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules,he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.
From then on,Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts,The Nuclear­Test­Ban Treaty,declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones,came into effect on October 10,1963,the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace.
小题1:From the first Paragraph,we learn that Linus Pauling________.
A.didn’t study hard while in Washington High School
B.is the only scientist who has won two Nobel Prizes
C.was once badly treated in Washington High School
D.chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living
小题2:Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?
A.The “behavior” of molecules.B.Physical chemistry.
C.Biological chemistry.D.The human body.
小题3:Which of the following is legal according to The Nuclear­Test­Ban Treaty?
A.The use of nuclear weapons.
B.Testing hydrogen bomb on the ground.
C.Testing hydrogen bomb on underground.
D.The production of hydrogen bombs.
小题4:The main idea of the passage is to show________.
A.Linus Pauling’s attitude towards nuclear weapons
B.Linus Pauling’s contributions to the world
C.Linus Pauling’s research on the structure of molecules
D.Linus Pauling’s got the Nobel Prize for Peace
