As far back as I can remember, I’ve always known that my brother was different. At first I thought this was a  31   thing. But when I got older I learned the truth. My brother had autism (孤独症) and Attention Deficit Disorder (儿童多动症) — serious  32   conditions. At 15, he  33   like a 7-year-old child. When he was little, I didn’t  34   it as much. But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his  35  , he got angry and it took hours to  36   him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never  37   to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always  38   when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends  39   with me.

When I was 10,  I felt like I couldn’t  40   it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask  41   he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no  42   what I was talking about. It became very hard,  43   when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over  44   her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights  45   up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big  46  ,  like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did  47  , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to  48   him.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how  49   I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my  50   is, he’ll always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’ll always be loved.

The meanings of carnations include fascination, distinction, and love. Like many other flowers, different messages can also be expressed with the flower’s different color varieties.

Today carnations are worn and gifted worldwide on Mothers Day and have become symbolic of purity, strength and endurance of motherhood. As a custom pink carnations are worn to honor living mothers and white carnations for the deceased mothers.

B.  Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums were cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.

Many flower forms are available, spoon-shaped, threadlike or spiderlike.

Please forgive me.”

E.  Forget – me – not

C
I’ve been told that in China,having a pet,particularly a dog,is often considered to be a status(地位)symbol because it shows the family can afford to have an animal.It’s very different here.
In Canada it’s common to have pets.Many people have dogs;many others have cats,fish,birds or rabbits.Some keep what we call exotic(奇异的)pets,although keeping exotic animals is difficult,and because it can also be hard on the animals, the keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.Some people do it anyway.
I like animals.As far back as I can remember my family has always had cats.Our cats.of course,wanted to go outside and it seemed reasonable to let them wander the neighborhood finding birds to run after,trees to climb and sunny places to sleep.As we always lived in a city,however,there was a problem.I remember more than once losing a cat that was killed by a car and it was heartbreaking.
Now,my wife and I lived in a small town.We no longer have a house—we live in an apartment(公寓).We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out except onto the halcony(阳台)so cars are no longer a problem.She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more.The trouble will come when she dies.We’ve had a pet for so long that it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the  room it will seem somehow empty.On the other hand,we’re getting older and,given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we’ll ever have another after Callie goes.
Having a pet is very good for a number of reasons.It helps to teach children how to look after a living creature,makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways,we depend on each other.For older people like me an animal is a companion(伙伴)and a comfort to have around.A pet,properly treated, returns the favor by giving back unconditional love.Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that !
64.The writer keeps a cat as a pet now because___________.
A.she feels lonely living in the countryside
B.it acts as her companion
C.her family is used to keeping a cat
D.it can helps her teach her children.
65.What will happen after the writer’s pet,Callie dies?
A.She will surely buy another one.     B.She won’t keep pets any longer.
C.She will remember it for a long time. D.Her room will be empty.
66.What should people do in keeping a pet according to the text?
A.Not allow it to go out of the room.   B.Catch birds for him to play with.
C.Let it wander outside as it likes.     D.Not live in the city.
67.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.How to keep a pet.               B.My pet,Callie.
C.Keeping Pets in Canada.           D.It’s the Animal in Me.

 A few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief breaks. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.
  "I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.
  Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.
  Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers aroused interest in the subject. But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at Internet overuse. The American Psychiatric Association may also consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up, on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web.
The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the latest survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers. About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling " still occupied by the Internet when offline."
  "The Internet problem is still in its early stage," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. The problem is not limited to porn (色情) or gambling websites.”
  “Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but in terms of losses.”said Maressa Orzack. "If it's a loss where you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."
  Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.
  The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:
  ● Having a sense of happiness or excitement while at the computer.
  ● Longing for more and more time at the computer.
  ● Neglect of family and friends.
  ● Feeling empty, depremssed or irritable when not at the computer.
  ● Lying to employers and family about activities.
  ● Inability to stop the activity.
  ● Problems with school or job.
  Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.
  “People who struggle with Internet overuse maybe depressed or have other mood disorders.” Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement and fun," she said. “Some people say relief…because they find themselves so relaxed.”
  Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."
  Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight.
  “There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in with online gaming, ”said Heidrich, now a father of two. People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly “to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check”.
  Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line:“I have an Internet Addiction.”
  “I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work, to take care of my home, to give attention to my children,”she wrote in a message sent to the group. “I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my loan and face losing everything.”
  Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."
【小题1】 What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?

A.Her daughter's repeated complaints.
B.Tiredness resulting from lack of sleep.
C.The poorly managed state of her house.
D.The high financial costs adding up.
【小题2】What is the main idea of para4?
A.A study claimed to be the first large-scale look at Internet overuse.
B.The American Psychiatric Association plans to list Internet addiction in its edition.
C.There are heated discussions about negative experiences over internet overuse.
D.There is a growing concern towards internet addiction.
【小题3】 According to Professor Maressa Orzack, Internet use would be considered excessive if ______.
A.it seriously affected family relationships
B.one visited porn websites frequently
C.too much time was spent in chat rooms
D.people got involved in online gambling
【小题4】 According to Orzack, people who struggle with heavy dependence on    
the Internet may feel ______.
A.discouragedB.pressuredC.depressedD.puzzled
【小题5】 Andrew Heidrich now visits websites that discuss online gaming addiction to _____.
A.improve his online gaming skills
B.control his desire for online gaming
C.show how good he is at online gaming
D.exchange online gaming experience
