    It was pouring outside. We all stood there  21 , some patiently, others annoyed   22  nature messed （弄糟）their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens   23  away the dirt and dust of the world.  
    “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    24   me .
    “No, honey. We’ll wait until it   25 down a bit,” Mom replied.
    The young girl waited about another minute and   26 : “Mom, let’s run through the
    rain .”
    “We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
    “No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said 
    as she  27     her  Mom’s arm .
    “This morning?  28  did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
    “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through  29  .”
    The entire crowd turned   30  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about   31

    “Honey, you are   33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,”
    Mom said. Then   34 they ran.
    We all stood   35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were  36  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  37  to their cars. Circumstances （境况）or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your  38 . But no one can ever take away your precious  39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the  40  to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

    Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To   36  this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s   37  to share with others – a lesson I needed to   38  myself as well, as it   39 .
    One evening Danac had   40 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s   41  game called Go Fish. That evening,   42  Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
    She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to   43  that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our   44  wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae   45 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone   46 . So I tried again, saying, “  47  you give the cards to her, you can’t   48 them back tomorrow.”
    A look of   49  came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to   50 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”
    What could I say to that? I sat   51  for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to   52  her to share. Did it   53  that our Go Fish set would be   54 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the   55  of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

    Psychiatrists(精神病专家)，who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(资产) in child raising----older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.
    Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s  also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”
    Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist .But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says .
    Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility(受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”
    Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”
    小题1:Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising?
    A Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands.
    B Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.
    C Older parents are often better prepared financially.
    D Older parents can take better care of their children.
    小题2:What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”
    A They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.
    B They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.
    C They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.
    D They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age
    小题3:The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______.
    A many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age
    B taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy
    C older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies
    D older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children
    小题4:What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?
    A Being laughed at by other people           B Slowing down of their pace of life
    C Being mistaken for grandparents           D Approaching of death
    小题5:What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?
    A They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment
    B Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family
    C They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter.
    D Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.

    Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m.   21   my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel.   22  , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason,   23  , I went ahead and answered.
    The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I   24  , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not   25   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   26   listed in the phone book.

The   28   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   29   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
    Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n)   30   guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man  in charge there was  31   because my grandfather seemed to be   32  . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   33   100 miles from home.

(The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   38   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

    While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.
    For Carlos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
    "We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."
    The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.
    FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.
    小题1: Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.
    A．football fans are angry with referees
    B．their new product can satisfy football fans
    C．their new product will have a good market
    D．they can sell a lot of football in the future
    小题2:In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.
    A．Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their product
    B．Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement
    C．Carlos Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product
    D．Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product
    小题3:The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.
    A．information given back by a userB．advice given by someone
    C．supplying food to customersD．food given back by consumers
    小题4:The new product has drawn attention from some _________.
    A．famous peopleB．refereesC．big companiesD．countries

    Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.   
    Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
    There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
    Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day' a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
    68. Many plants may survive in deserts when__________________.
    A. the rain is spread out in a year      B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
    C. there is little rain in a year         D. it is dry all the year round
    69. Sand dunes are formed when___________________.
    A. sand piles up gradually             B. there is plenty of rain in a year
    C. the sea has dried up over the years    D. pieces of rock get smaller
    70. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________.
    A. too much sand              B. more sand than before
    C. nothing except sand          D. something else besides sand
    71. It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.
    A. there is no rainfall throughout the year               B. life exists in rough conditions
    C. all sand dunes are a few feet high              D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

    Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen．
    Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals（both short-term and long-range）to help them reach their vision．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it in this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind（her goal） which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver．But she drivers aimlessly around, never getting anywhere , just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be?
    Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach．It’s up to you to find out what your goals,ideals and visions really are．You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life．
    Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it．Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power．Like a contract （合同） with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget．
    Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals．
