Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 36__,he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy,but rather when he was 37 and ill.
My father was 38 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 39 all that away.Now he can no longer walk and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 40 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 41 about life,and I told them about one of my 42 . I said that we must very often give things up 43 we grow—our youth, our beauty, our friends---but it always 44 that after we give something up,we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 45 up. He said, “But, Peter,I gave up 46 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 47 , he answered his own question: “I 48 the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes,along with hope and thankfulness.
I was also 49 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated(恼怒的)at someone, I 50 remember his words and become 51 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 52 to give up my small irritations. In this 53 ,I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

A
Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may know really where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham( 火腿 )? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburger. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered. “We came from Hamburger.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like what the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Today “ hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.

Brown tree snakes are causing problems to people who live on the island of Guam. The snakes can grow to 10 feet in length. They hide from bright light during the day. At night, t-hey come out looking for food. They climb trees and telephone poles. They slither through pi-pes into houses. They crawl along electric power lines, causing serious problems.
There are millions of these snakes. They eat birds, lizards and other small animals. Scien-tists say that nine kinds of birds that once lived on Guam have now died out.

Allen goes everywhere with Brigitta Anderson, a 54 year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. “Most people don’t seem to mind Allen,” says Brigitta, who thinks he is wonderful. “He is my fourth child,” she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog.
Brigitta and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Sweden kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dogs, and the money is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish kennel club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.

A. dogs are welcome in public places
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs
69. If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A. The owner of the car. B. the owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company. D. The government.
70. What does “he” refer to?
A. Brigitta B. Allen C. Anderson D. Secretary

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”
“Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at mum and said, “But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.
After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”

第三节：阅读表达（共5小题，每题3分，满分15分）。
Two pieces of foreign news caught people’s attention. In the US,18-year-old Michael Sessions won the mayoral(市长的)election in his town, to become the youngest mayor in the US. A similar thing happened in Britain. Martin Halstead, a high school graduate at 19, set up his own airline company.
Chinese teens admire their skills in getting such important posts. But have you ever thought that you could have the same success?
Burdened with heavy school work, many high school students in China are told to lock themselves in their studies and forget about other things.
But actually this is not wise.
Everyone is different and there is no need to follow the life paths of our ancestors(祖先). Sessions had dreamt of being a politician since he was a child.Halstead is crazy about airplanes and took every chance to learn about them.
So why not think outside the box, as these boys did? Consider your interests when planning your own path through life. Doing this can be more exciting and makes it easier to succeed. Interest is our best teacher.
But dreaming is not enough. A good education is a stepping-stone to a successful career. It helps broaden your horizons(视野)so you understand more about yourself and therefore perform better. That’s the reason Sessions chose___________while taking charge of his town.
Success still takes work. Without hard work, a dream is just like a cloud in the air that you never can reach. 51.What is the best title of the passage? (Within 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________________.
52.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Many high school students in China need to study hard in order to finish their homework, so they have no time to think about their hobbies.
_________________________________________________________________________________.
53.Please fill in the blank in the seventh paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Within 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________.
54.How can you make your own life wonderful just as Sessions and Halstead did? (Within 30 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
55.Translate the underlined sentence in the seventh paragraph into Chinese.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
