6、Do you often see silly words or drawings scratched onto the desks in your classroom? Have you ever found chewing gum on the floor of your classroom or around the campus? How many times have you seen broken windows in the classroom and school buildings? This is vandalism, the destruction or damaging of public property for no obvious reason.

Vandalism in schools is becoming a growing problem, and it is costing us more than money. It is expensive to repaint the desks, clear them of chewing gum and repair school furniture. Moreover, it costs us our sense of self-respect and feeling of pride in our school. Many students see this damage and lose some pride in their school.

How, then, can we prevent vandalism in schools? First of all, we need to make students realize the importance of taking care of public property. School property should be treated with care so that it can be used by all the students. Therefore, damaging school property means damaging the enjoyment of other students. If we can explain this to people, then they will be less likely to damage school property when they know that it will only hurt themselves.

Secondly, we should learn to obey school rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are there to look after both the students and the schools. Whenever we see any acts of vandalism, we need to remind the people of the rules and try to prevent these acts from happening. If it is serious vandalism, we need to report it to the teacher.

Thirdly, anyone who vandalizes school property should receive some kind of punishment. For example, if someone has torn a page from a library book, he or she would have to carefully tape the page back into the book. If someone writes or draws on a desk, he or she should stay behind school and clean the desks in the classroom. Such punishment is not harsh, but can make them know their misbehavior.

Vandalism costs schools money that could be better spent educating students, and it harms students’ pride in their school as well. If we educate people about vandalism and work to prevent it from happening , then we will begin to see cleaner schools and happier students.

5、MIAMI (AFP) ― Yao Ming’s 34-point performance against Shaquille O’Neal has the 2.26m Chinese center enjoying a happiness almost as huge as himself.

Yao scored 34 points, 14 in the fourth quarter, to spark (激励) Houston past defending NBA champion Miami 94-72 Sunday night. Yao also grabbed 14 rebounds and helped keep “Shaq” to 15 points of 6-of-14 shooting from the field.

“Every time I score on (Shaq) I’m happy because he’s such a great player,” Yao said. “No question he’s the toughest player in the league. You have to have energy and mental toughness in the fourth quarter or else he’ll wear you down.”

Yao was generous in victory, indicating that O’Neal has not yet returned to top form after missing two games with a injured left knee.

“He wasn’t the same Shaq tonight as he was during the playoffs last year,” Yao said. “That was a totally different Shaq out there.”

Nevertheless, Yao’s task was far from simple in containing the controlling big man who has muscled his way to three NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and another last season with the Heat.

“It’s a hard job. He’s the most important center in this league,” Yao said. “I just have to keep running with him and matching him play-for-play at both ends.”

Yao, whose Rockets have won four games in a row, has proven he can reach that next level and made believers out of plenty of competitors, including Heat coach Pat Riley.

“Yao was a load,” Riley said. “We got our heads handed to us in the second half.”

No one knew that better than O’Neal, who watched Yao hit 11-of-19 shots just two nights after a 35-point, 17-rebound performance in a victory over New York.

“He hit a lot of tough shots and when you’re playing against a guy like that ... you’re not going to block his shot,” O’Neal said. “You’ve just got to try to push him out and play him tough.”

63.   The reason why Yao Ming defeats Shaq is most probably that______ ____.

A. Yao Ming has now become stronger than any other player in NBA.

B. Shaq has missed some important chances of practice for some extra matches.

D. The best period for Shaq has passed and he can not play as well as before.

64.   The underlined phrase in the third paragraph means ____ _____.

A. knock…down    B. break…down   C. tire…out   D. get …over

65.   Which do you think is true based on the above passage? ____ _____

A. Although defeated this time, O’Neal still remains one of the best players in NBA for his great contributions to helping his teams win three NBA titles.

B. Yao’s excellent performance has made him gain more supporters from those not knowing him very well, even including his “enemies”.

C. Only O’Neal knows clearly that Yao Ming has become the most challenging one in NBA.

D. O”Neal is gradually losing his leading center because has never been as energetic as before

66.   From what Riley said, we can include that __________.

A. Yao has become the best one in NBA and no one can be over him any more.

B. The team Houston led by Yao Ming promises to be the most difficult one to be defeated.

C. Any team will lose the match if they meet Houston, with Yao playing on the ground.

2、In a society where lung and breast cancers are leading causes of cancer death worldwide, early detection of the disease is highly desirable. In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man's best friend, the dog, may have the ability to contribute to early cancer detection.

Researchers show scientific evidence that a dog’s extraordinary smelling ability can distinguish people with both early and late stage lung and breast cancers from healthy people. Researchers first discovered this in the case report of a dog warning its owner to the presence of a melanoma (恶性黑素瘤) by constantly sniffing the skin lesion (损伤). Later studies published in major medical magazines proved the ability of trained dogs to detect both melanomas and bladder cancers. The new study is the first to test whether dogs can detect cancers only by sniffing the breath of cancer patients.

In this study, five household dogs were trained within a short 3-week period to detect lung or breast cancer by sniffing the breath of cancer patients. The experiment consisted of 86 cancer patients (55 with lung cancer and 31 with breast cancer) and 83 healthy people. All cancer patients had recently been diagnosed with cancer and had not yet undergone any chemotherapy treatment (化疗). The dogs were presented with breath samples from the cancer patients and the healthy ones, captured in a special tube. Dogs were trained to give a positive identification of a cancer patient by sitting or lying down directly in front of a test station containing a cancer patient sample, while ignoring healthy samples.

The results of the study showed that dogs can detect breast and lung cancer between 88% and 97%. Moreover, the study also proved that the trained dogs could even detect the early stages of lung cancer, as well as early breast cancer. The researchers concluded that breath analysis might become a potential of cancer diagnosis.

  A. Can dogs smell cancer?                      B. Dogs and treatment

  B. dogs will be the only way to detect cancers

  C. breath analysis can be used in diagnosing cancers in the future

Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully   36  their mother until it was too late to tell them.

I am  37 with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each  38  . My mother does not change, but I  39  . As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am  40  to speak these words in her  41 , but they flow easily from my pen.

How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for  42  itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into  43  a child? For running after toddler ( a very young child who is just learning to walk), for understanding a moody  44  , for tolerating a college student who knows,  45  for waiting for the day when a daughter realizes what her mother  46  is like?

How does a (n)  47  woman thank a mother for contributing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or  48  silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying: “I told you so”, when she could have  49  these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself---loving,  50  patient, and forgiving.

I don’t know  51 , dear God, except to bless her as  52  as she deserves and to help me  53 the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the  54  of my children as my  55    looks in mine
