    The USA is the first country where Mother’s Day appeared.
    On May 9th, 1906,an American Anne Jevis’s mother died. Ann was in deep sorrow. In order to memorize her mother, she put forward a proposal to fix a day as Mother’s Day. On May 7th ,1914,the Congress of the USA passed a law ,making the second Sunday of May “Mother’s Day”.
    Today millions of Americans observe Mother’s Day in some ways. They buy more than 150,000,000Mother’s Day greeting cards. Companies produce more than 1,000 different kinds. Most of the cards show pictures of flowers, hearts or other things that people feel are linked to being a mother. They have messages that express a person’s love for his or her mother. Some are humorous. And some have no words. People can express their own feelings for their mother. Many people give flowers for Mother’s Day. It is one of the busiest days of the year for the flower industry. Many people have written songs about mothers and Mother’s Day.
    Mother’s Day is a time for young children to do special things for their mother. Some would make a special gift or draw a special picture. One family activity on Mother’s Day is to have the children cook the early morning meal .Then they serve the food to their mother while she is still in bed. Or they might clean the house so she does not have to do it. Fathers might take care of the children that day so the mothers can rest, or take a walk, or read a book. Many mothers feel that this free time on their special day is a very good Mother’s Day gift.
    Some families will get together for a meal at a local eating place. This means that mothers do not have to cook on their special day. Coming out to dinner has become a tradition on Mother’s Day. As a result, restaurants are extremely crowded that day. It has become one of the busiest days of the year for the restaurant industry in the United States.
    Now Mother’s Day has been an international festival and more than 40 countries have accepted this festival.

    There are no exact differences between physics and other natural sciences because all sciences overlap(重叠）.In general,however,physics is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light,sound,pressure,gravity and electricity,and the ways they affect other objects.
    One major branch of physics deals with the states of matter—solids,liquids and gases and with their motions.The pioneer achievements of Galileo,Kepler and Newton dealt with solid masses of matter in motion.Such studies deal with forces acting on moving objects.It is the subject of mechanics and belongs to the branch of mechanics called dynamics,the study of matter in motion.This large topic includes not only the motions of stars and ping-pong balls but also the motions of the water pumped by a fire engine and those of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane.
    A branch of mechanics is statics(静力学）,the study of matter at rest.The designs of buildings and bridges are examples of problems in statics.Other branches of physics are based on the different kinds of energy,which interact with matter.They deal with electricity and magnetism（磁力）,heat,light,and sound.From these branches of physics scientists find clues(线索） which have revealed(揭示） the constructions of atoms and how the atoms react to various kinds of energy. This knowledge is often called the basis of modern physics.Among the many subdivisions（细的分支）of modern physics are electronics and nuclear physics.Physics is closely related to engineering.A person who uses knowledge of physics in solving everyday problems is often called an engineer.For example,electricity is one of the branches of physics;and an electrical engineer is a man who uses the “natural laws” of electricity to help in designing and electric generator(电动机）.
    小题1:Physics is not exactly different from other natural sciences because_________.
    A．physics and other natural sciences have parts in common
    B．it is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light and sound
    C．it studies the ways in which forces and qualities affect other objects
    D．it is a part of other natural sciences
    小题2:The following statements are included in the study of dynamics except_________.
    A．the design and construction of skyscrapers
    B．the motions of heavenly bodies
    C．the motions of water pumped by a fire engine
    D．the motions of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane
    小题3:Among many branches of modern physics is _________.
    A．statesB．electricityC．electronicsD．mechanics
    小题4:This knowledge” in Paragraph Three refers to_________.
    A．electricity and magnetism,light and sound
    B．the construction of atoms and their reactions to various kinds of energy

    Visitors from space may have landed on our planet from time to time, maybe hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the far future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and records from some certain places, one can find many reports of strange events that could be some explanations about visiting from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One is tempted(引诱) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before education on science was popular, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(彗星) made people believe the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.
    56.小题1:According to the passage, visitors from outer space may have landed on the earth      .
    A．long before man had dreamed of itB．long before there were human beings
    C．in the last few hundred yearsD．after the space travel began
    57.小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFOs himself.B．All sightings of UFOs are believable.
    C．There may be living things on other planets.D．People have seen visitors from other planets everywhere.
    58.小题3:According to the passage,           .
    A．UFOs are only seen in recent yearsB．UFOs sightings are not new
    C．UFOs are just meteors and cometsD．UFOs are invented by people

    Michael, a typical (典型的) American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal (接线端) in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
    　　The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating (使隔离) us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts(账户), making paper checks(支票)unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
    　　Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
    13. The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ____ .
    　　A .Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
    　　B. Michael is not a real person but probably the lifestyle does exist
    　　C. Michael has ambitions but he can?t make his dreams come true
    　　D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
    14. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
    　　A. Games and sports.
    　　B. Personal banking.
    　　C. Music and films.
    　　D. International business.
    15. What is the main idea of the passage?
    　　A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
    　　B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
    　　C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
    　　D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

    It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip t Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmine landmines(地雷)Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”
    The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
    But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon”(乱放炮的人).
    The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction(干扰), we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.”
    Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged(显现出来)that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
    To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.”
    For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people an their problems.
    小题1:Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997
    A．to clarify(澄清)the British government’s stand on landmines
    B．to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims
    C．to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there
    D．to voice her support for a total ban of landmines
    小题2:What did Diana mean when she said “…putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me”(Line 5, Para. 1)?
    A．Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.
    B．She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.
    C．The actual situation in Angola made her like going back home.
    D．Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.
    小题3:Some members of the British government criticized Diana because
    A．They were actually opposed to banning landmines.
    B．She was ill-informed of the government’s policy.
    C．She had not consulted the government before the visit.
    D．They believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola.
    小题4:How did Diana respond to the criticisms?
    A．She made more appearances on TV.
    B．She paid no attention to them.
    C．She rose to argue with her opponents.
    D．She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.
    小题5:What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?
    A．It had caused embarrassment to the British government.
    B．It had greatly promoted her popularity.
    C．It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
    D．It had affected her relations with the British government.

    Looking for a low-cost path to self-knowledge? A way to mine your subconscious①for clues to your motivations, desires and fears? No need to have years of treatment or analysis. Just look to your dreams.
    “You can ignore your dreams, but you are really doing harm to yourself,” says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg. “If so, you’re letting red flags pass you by, letting great ideas pass you by.”
    Some sleep researchers believe dreams are more directly related to our moods and emotions and can serve as tools to self-understanding. Dreams occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) cycles of sleep each night. For adults, that means about every 90 minutes. The first period of REM sleep may be short, 5 to 10 minutes, followed by longer periods, finally reaching an hour or more in the fourth or fifth period.
    When people are dreaming, brain scans show a lot of activities. The brain is online during dreams. The experiences you have during the day are connected during dream sleep. People we know or experiences we’ve had at different times in our lives may be different in the same dream.
    AmyBeth Gilstrap has had the same recurring② dream that annoyed her since Hurricane Katrina drove her and her daughter and friends out of New Orleans. Ms. Gilstrap says, “It is always spies. My job is to get people to some place.” She’s certain the dream is related to her effort in the hurricane to help several families leave. Sometimes her cats also are part of that dream. That’s because she went back into New Orleans, before it was allowed, to rescue her cats.
    Today, through brain scans scientists have known that the parts of the brain that control emotion and long-term memory are active during REM sleep.
    1. The passage is mainly to tell readers ______.
    A. dreams are mainly caused by hard work     B. dreams can offer us key to self-knowledge
    C. dreams are only activities of our brains      D. how dreams help us solve our problems
    2. According to the words from Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, ______.
    A. dreams can make you feel badly ill         B. you often have red flags in your dreams
    C. dreams will make your life colorful         D. you may get great help from your dreams
    3. According to the passage, the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.
    A. Ms. Gilstrap’s dream   B. Ms. Gilstrap’s job   C. Hurricane Katrina   D. New Orleans
    4. According to the passage, when you are dreaming at night, ______.
    A. your dream is connected with your work that day
    B. the dream will generally last about 5 to 10 minutes
    C. the longer dream should be in the later part of the sleep
    D. your eyes will still move slowly during the time
