    阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75．My family discussed what was the best way to celebrate．Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives, and there were so many people for her to consider．Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼)to my grandmother．

    　　We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her．People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures．The deep feeling that was shared through the response(回应)surprised us．We compiled(编辑)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday．

    　　The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared．In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life．

    　　I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime．It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds．If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life．I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime．I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been．

    　 English as a Foreign Language

    　 Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

    　 Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures（文化）？Or should we worry about the dangers of ‘mono-centralism’, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

    　 Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary（相反），I would have thought－although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India（where many of them speak at least some English）and Pakistan（the same situation with India）…

    　 If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant（占主导地位的）, it will kill other languages ? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

    Changing science?

    Three Shanghai high school students may have recently overturned （推翻）a scientific theory found in many books.After four months of work they say the well?known Mpemba effect（姆潘巴现象）does not exist.?

    Scientists are now checking to see if their discovery is real.The Mpemba effect says that hot water freezes faster than cold water.?

    Ye Shasha is a Senior 3 student at Shanghai Xiangming Middle School.She first learned about the Mpemba effect from the book，100 000 Scientific Facts when she was in primary school.“I found it hard to understand but never doubted it.But our experiments show this phenomenon can never happen，”Ye said.?

    Last year，an article about the Mpemba effect took first prize in a Shanghai science competition.But Huang Zengxin，a 57－year－old physics teacher in the school，found that the author made some mistakes while reasoning that hot water only freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.?

    Last November，he discussed his ideas with his students，Ye and Senior 2 Yu Shunxi who were very interested in the issue.?

    　　They decided to do some serious research into the matter.To support their experiments，the school bought them advanced equipment.?

    “I read a lot about the Mpemba effect.But，most explanations，either for or against，are usually based on guesswork（猜测）.We just wanted to let detailed experimental data （数据） do the talking，”said Huang.?

    　　Dong Jiawen，a Senior 2 from Shanghai High School，joined the team.She spent all her weekends and all winter holidays working on the project.?

    “I have learnt so much from carrying out over 100 experiments，”Dong said.“Most importantly，I've realized that you have to do something yourself in order to find out the truth.Books only serve as a kind of reference（参考）.”?

    “The three girls have developed a matter of fact attitude to daily phenomena in the process of examining this effect，”said Huang proudly.?
