The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not   36__   with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath   37  me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted（倾斜的） down,   38   with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a   39   sight, with its petals（花瓣） all worn－not enough rain, or too little light.   40   him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I   41  a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of   42 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with   43 , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I   44   it; here, it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I   45   take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and   46 , “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he   47 it mid－air without reason. It was then that I   48   for the very first time the boy was   49 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun   50   I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play,   51  of the effect he’d had on my day.
I sat there and   52 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放纵的) 53 ? Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true   54 .
55   the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine.

生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快乐，而是缺少感受快乐的心。如果双目失明，我们是不是一定不快乐？如果健健康康，我们是不是一定快乐？它再一次告诉我们，快乐在心。情绪低落的作者因生活不顺而不能自拔。一位可爱的小男孩失明，却能看到美丽的花朵，闻到芬芳，这让作者深有感触……
36.   因生活受挫，作者心情不好—I was down. 对生活不满意。Be contented with 对…满意
37.   作者并不认识的一小男孩向我走过来。从out of breath, tired可以知道。
38. 小男孩兴奋地对我讲。say 强调说话内容；tell 表示“告诉”，要接宾语     inform要接sb of sth ; talk 表示双向的谈话。
39. 从下文all worn－not enough rain, or too little light可以看出。其余选项不符。
40. 作者并没有心情讲话，只想让男孩走开不要打扰她。
41. 作者无心看那凋谢的花，只好强装出笑脸，移到另外一个位置。
42. 由下文男孩仍然sit next to me 可知，他并没有离开。
43. 男孩惊喜地说道，：“这花闻起来很香，肯定很漂亮”
44. 这就是他采摘花的原因。
45. 由于男孩不离开，反而积极向我献花，作者知道男孩的意思——自己一定要接受这花的馈赠。
46. 作者只好回应的男孩的话。
47. 从下文mid-air可以知道，男孩是把花举在空中的。
48. 正是男孩高举的这一动作，才让作者注意到他却是一个盲人。notice无意察觉到，observe是带有某一目的观察。confirm是对所预测事情的证实和确认，conclude是从某事论述中得出结论。
49. 最后一段第一句也有提示。
50. 作者知道男孩的真相后，心理感触万分——在感谢他时，声音都在颤抖。
51. 男孩心理只想到这美丽而散发着香味的花应该与人分享，而并未意识到这对对于情绪低落的作者的影响有多大。都不可以与of搭配；小男孩并没在意其行为对我的影响，所以regardless of也排除。
52. 男孩失明却能‘看到’美丽的花朵，却能与一个情绪低落的人分享，这确实让作者感到诧异而又想弄个明白。
53. 男孩又是如何知道我陷于低迷的痛苦呢？这都是让作者纳闷的事。embarrassment尴尬；作者还没有痛苦到绝望的地步，排除hopelessness；effort用在这不合意思。
54. 男孩失明，却看到美丽。或许这正是上天恩赐于他的真正的视力吧。
55. 正是通过男孩的眼睛，我才得以看到问题的根源并不是客观事物本身，而是自己的心灵。In the eyes of 在某人看来， from 从眼睛本身, 作者不是从男子的眼睛里看到，而是通过男孩看待事物的做法得到感悟。Before 不合题意。

A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
　　"Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn't have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Garlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
　　Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created（制作）10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
　　"Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10."Anaclerio said, "and they're very interactive（互动）and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations."
　　The standard ＄200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
72. The main purpose of writing this text is ____.
　　A. to share information about party planning
　　B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party
　　C. to announce a business plan
　　D. to sell a service
73. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that ____.
　　A. it brings parents and children closer together
　　B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
　　C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
　　D. it provides a subject of conversation
74. What does the underlined word "hassle"（Paragraph 1） probably mean？
　　A. a party designed by specialists
　　B. a plan requiring careful thought
　　C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
　　D. a demand made by guests
75. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner？

All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.
You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.
My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.
These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered.
Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car？Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons（视野）.Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car.Once you have invested the time to master the skills，you will never go back to the old days.The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.
Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort.We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things.Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities.Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer.It extends the capabilities of our minds.

Dear Mr. Barton,
I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).
Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.
We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.
Yours sincerely,
Resident
