    11．Mum，it's me．Hopefully，this Mothering Sunday you will get to hear those three words．I will，of course，try to phone you．I hope we will be able to speak for the allowed 10minutes．But I suspect many inmates will be using the phone，so if I don't call and if we don't speak，then this is what I would have said：
    It's not your fault that I am here．I know that deep in your heart you have questioned whether my current circumstance is somehow your fault，if the reckless stupidity of my past is somehow a failure on your part．It is not．Only one person is to blame，only one person should hurt-me．You have always taught me that when the room goes dark，you can wait for the lights to be switched back on or you can search in the dark and turn the light on yourself．You are my light．You always have been and always will be．There is nobody I admire more，nobody I have strived harder to please in my life，which is why my current failure hurts me so much．
    I am so sorry that I will not be there to see you，but I want you to know that now，as always，you are here with me．In my darkest hours，and in the coldest loneliness of my past few months，my mind has so often wandered to the past，to when it was you and me-and I have been able to smile．Yours is the strength that I draw upon．
    A parent's job is to make sure that they pass on the best of themselves to their children．You have done that．It is the inner you in me that will get me through this．
    I have failed you so epically，but you have never failed me．If I think back to the tears I shed when Dad left，all those years ago，I see you through their misty glaze．You holding me and you telling me we'd be OK，and we will be．We are and always will be the best team．
    Childhood heroes such as footballers，actors and rock stars are clichéd．If the job's done right，a child's heroes should be their parents-you are mine．The strength you showed after the divorce from Dad to find your biological parents，to go to university and get your teaching qualifications，to begin your life again，is the strength that I draw on now．It is the belief in myself，it is the belief you have in me，that tells me that once I am released I can and will rebuild my life．I will make you proud again．I will make you happy to have me as your son．Yours is the will that gets me through every day．
    I don't believe you can judge a person for the mistakes they make，as we all make them，but you can judge them for what they do afterwards．And after this，when it is all over，you will still have a son with the same hopes and dreams．They have not diminished．If you can dream it，then you have to believe it can happen-right？
    So this Mothering Sunday，please think back to that morning in the 80s，the first Mother's Day without Dad，when a six-year-old me got up early and made breakfast for you．Do you remember it？Could you ever forget？A slice of bread a doorstep thick and a wedge of cheese equally dense．You didn't have to eat it，but you did，chewing every dry mouthful．I know now why you forced yourself-because it had been made with love．Well，things don't change this year-this letter is that bread and cheese （it sure has plenty of the cheese!）．
    I love you so much．I am sorry I have let you down，but you have taught me that we will always pick ourselves up and become better than we were before．Thank you for everything and this year，more than ever：
    Happy Mothering Sunday．
    Love，your son

    2．American cities are similar to other cities around the world：In every country，cities reflect the values of the culture．American cities are changing，just as American society is changing．
    After World WarⅡ，the population of most large American cities decreased； however，the population shifts（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society．In the late 1940s and early 1950s，city residents（居民）became wealthier．They had more children so they needed more space．They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes．They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）．
    Now things are changing，The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults．Many，unlike their parents，want to live in the cities．They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest．Many young professionals are moving back into the city．They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there； or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers．
    This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits．Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent．In the 1950s，many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs； now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．
    Only a few years ago，people thought that the older American cities were dying．Some city residents now see a bright，new future．Others see only problems and conflicts．One thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again．

    64．What does the author think of cities all over the world？C
    A．They are alive．
    B．They are hopeless．
    C．They are similar．
    D．They are different．
    65．Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World WarⅡ？
    B
    A．Because older American cities were dying．
    B．Because they were richer and needed more space．
    C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society．
    D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city．
    66．According to the 4th paragraph，a great many poor people in American citiesA
    A．are faced with housing problems
    B．are forced to move to the suburbs
    C．want to sell their buildings
    D．need more money for daily expenses
    67．We can conclude from the text thatB
    A．American cities are changing for the worse
    B．people have different views on American cities
    C．many people are now moving from American cities
    D．the population is decreasing in older American cities．

    6．Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs，they materialize in the places we'd least expect．They can come to us as a drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives．Sometimes they're big and can't be missed Other times they're so subtle that if we aren't aware，we may miss them altogether．They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant．If we listen carefully，we'll always hear the right words，at the right time，to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before．
    On a cold January afternoon in 1989，I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt's Mt．Horeb．I'd spent the day at St．Catherine's Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below．As I was winding up the narrow path，I'd occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain．While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language，there was one man that day who did neither．
    I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain．As he got closer，I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I'd seen．Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm，this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing．He wore a tattered，rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust．What made his appearance so odd，though，was that the man didn't even appear to be Egyptian！He was a small-framed Asian man，had very little hair，and was wearing round，wire-rimmed glasses．
    As we neared one another，I was the first to speak．"Hello，"I said，stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath．Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer．I thought that maybe he hadn't heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction．Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail，looked up from the ground，and spoke a single sentence to me in English，"Sometimes you don't know what you have lost until you've lost it．"As I took in what I had just heard，he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail．
    That moment in my life was a small miracle．The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context．The year was 1989，and the Cold War was drawing to a close．What the man on the trail couldn't have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage，and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses's mountain，that I'd set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry，my friends，my family，and，ultimately，my life．
    I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up，stopping before me，and offering his wisdom，seemingly from out of nowhere．My answer to  was easy：the odds were slim to none！In an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home，a total stranger had brought clarity，and the hint of a warning，regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days．In my way of thinking，that's a miracle．
    I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day．Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are．In the moments when we don't，that's okay as well．It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again．And each time they do，they become a little less subtle，until we can't possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives！
    The key is that they're everywhere and occur every day for different reasons，in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment．Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring．

    66．Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt．Horeb in Egypt？C
    A．He was in search of a miracle in his life．
    B．It was a holy place for a religious person to head for．
    C．He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future．
    D．He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person．
    67．What does the underlined part"my own question"refer to in Paragraph 6？D
    A．For what reason did the man stop before me？
    B．Why did the Asian man go to the mountain？
    C．What change would I make within a matter of days？
    D．What was the probability that others told us the right words？
    68．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word"subtle"in Paragraph 7？B

    D．the Asian man impressed on him the worth of what he had possessed
