I loved the way he treated people with such respect and kindness.On Sundays we usually took the bus into Manhattan, where we would do interesting things, like riding the Circle Line. He would po

10、int out every landmark and tell us the history behind it. He loved to take us on the subway to Nathans in Coney Island. Once there, he would give my sister and me each a five-dollar bill and then he would enjoy himself for the afternoon with his newspapers.4In 1968, we went to see the movie “Oliver”

11、, a Charles Dickens classic story of a young orphan(孤儿) boy called Oliver. On the way home from the theater that afternoon he told us how he was raised in an orphanage(孤儿院) in New York after both of his parents died. He told us the nuns(修女) were wonderful to him and loved him like a mother would. As

12、 he grew older, he was placed in a few foster(寄养) families before he joined the Army.When we were teenagers, he still took us out each weekend and he would ask us to invite specific friends to join us and he would pay for them. We often went to Yankee Stadium to watch the baseball game and he bought

13、 us tickets in the least expensive seats. To keep the cost down, he waited for us in the car where he read his newspapers and then took a nap(小睡). He was always happy and appreciated everything he had. He loved his two little girls and later his two granddaughters. He gave so much, yet he had so lit

14、tle. He thought he was the richest man in the world.21. What would the writers father do when in Nathans?A. He would do interesting things, like riding the Circle Line.B. He would point out every landmark and have a good rest.C. He would wait for us and read newspapers.D. He would give my sister and

17、ple often say that there is nothing in the world that can be as great as a mothers love. Some mother expressions mean just that. The phrase “mother lode” comes from mining. It means the place where the largest amount of gold can be found. But now, the term “mother lode” means a rich supply of anythi

18、ng. For example, you might say, “She just graduated from college and struck the mother lode with her new job!”When we call something “the mother of all”, this means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: “We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you have

19、to come!”Naturally, the word “mother” can be used to mean to give birth, even to something you cannot touch, such as an idea or wisdom. The saying “necessity is the mother of invention” means that when people really need to do something, they will find a way to do it. And “experience is the mother o

20、f wisdom” means that people learn from what happens to them.You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is “tied to his mothers apron strings(围裙带)” is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a “mamas boy”. Both of these terms are even more insulting(侮

21、辱人的) if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a huge mistake for a woman to marry a “mamas boy” who is still “tied to his mothers apron strings”.A show about mothers would not be complete without talking about the very popular but mysterious “Mother Goose”. The short poems and song

22、s that “Mother Goose” wrote are a part of growing up in the United States. Real or not, you could say “Mother Goose” is the mother of all nursery rhyme(童谣) writers.25. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. all mother expressions are about nice things6B. mother is the greatest person in the worldC. t

23、here are some expressions about mother in EnglishD. mothers love is the greatest thing in the world26.

24、 sing songsB. mothers were good at singingC. he loved songs about mothersD. the song he heard was the bestCWhy we cry with happiness show: Responding with a negative reaction helps us deal with extreme joy. If you cry with happiness at weddings, you are responding to a happy experience with a negati

25、ve reaction. The researchers believe the unusual reaction may help renew emotional balance in us and keep extreme emotions under control. The findings make it clear how people express and control their emotions, which could help improve their understanding of peoples mental(精神的) health.Dr Oriana Ara

26、gon set out to explore the phrase “tears of joy”, which she said never made sense to her. But after studying a series of incongruous(不和谐的) expressions, she now understands better why people cry when they are happy. “People may be renewing emotional balance with these expressions,” she explained. “Th

27、ey seem to take place when people are struck by strong positive emotions. People, who do this, seem to recover better from those strong emotions.”The report show various examples of responding to a positive experience with a negative emotion, such as, a crying wife seeing the husband returning 7from

28、 war again, and teenage girls screaming at a Justin Bieber concert. Examples also include a baseball player who hits a home run, only to be slapped(拍) on the back by teammates, as well as when people cannot help kissing babies faces who they consider lovely.Dr Aragon and her team discovered that peo

29、ple, who expressed negative reactions to positive news, were able to moderate(缓和) strong emotions more quickly. There is also some evidence that strong negative feelings may provoke positive expressions. For example, nervous laughter often happens when people are faced with a hard situation. Weve se

30、en people smiling during times of extreme sadness.“The findings affect our knowledge of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together,” Dr Aragon said.28.

33、graph?A. Its common to express negative reactions to positive feelings.B. When people cry, it means they are very happy.C. Expressing and controlling emotions is important for humans.D. Differences between positive and negative emotions.D8From now, if all goes well, a high-tech spacecraft will land

34、in the South Pole of the moon. There, it will drill 66 feet down into the surface(表面) and collect samples of the mantle(地幔样本) to bring back to the earth.But before it leaves, it will have a two-part time capsule(时光胶囊): a public part, full of the Earths history, and a private part, full of digital(数码

35、的) memory boxes created by individuals(个人). These memory boxes can hold digital files records of family trees, videos or actual DNA in the form of human hair. Not everyone can have a digital memory box, though. The boxes are only delivered for the people who donate the money to the project.The proje

36、ct, called Lunar Mission One, has already raised more than half of its 600,000 goal since its launch(启动) just a few days ago. The founders thought that it would succeed because of the attraction of both exploring the moon surface and leaving a time capsule behind. The mission was a technical action,

37、 but it was also an emotional one, bringing the excitement of knowing that something humans built on the Earth reached somewhere else in space.Still, it does seem risky(冒险的) for a person to donate60 to keep a digital memory box for a project that wont come true until 2024. What if the project never

38、takes off? What if the technology isnt good enough? What if those digital memory boxes break on the moons surface? And how will anybody ever even know if that happens? Ian Crawford, a professor at Birkbeck College in London and scientific advisor to the mission, says it is not necessary to worry abo

39、ut these. The plan to leave a time capsule on the moon isnt really about physically leaving something on the moon its more an opportunity to encourage peoples interest in space.32.

However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are som

44、e tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:Understand that at times you make mistakes. 36 Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled(爬行). We got up, fell down and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well. 37 Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain
