I got to my mother's for our traditional family Christmas--a bit late，19 I got there.
Christmas evening I returned to my apartment. Waiting for me was a single red rose and a message: I really miss the cheese basket. Job. At the bottom was his phone number…
John and I were married the following Christmas Eve. And we are 20 exchanging Christmas greetings with Mr. and Mrs. Phillips. And I still wake up every Christmas Eve Morning filled with excitement at the magic of the day.

Think Before You Speak
It was a sunny day. Everyone in the station was waiting for the train to arrive. There was a group of friends, youngsters who were on board for vacation.
The train entered the station and the group ran to get their seats before anyone could get into the train.
An old man with a young boy aged around 15 came mining to catch the train. They entered the train and the train started to move, They had their seats just next to the friends' group.
The young boy was so surprised to see everything.
He acclaimed (欢呼) at his father,“Dad. the train is moving and the things are moving backwards. ”
His father smiled and nodded his head. As the train started moving fast, the young boy again screamed,“Dad. the trees are green in colour and run backward very fast. ” His f ather said., "Yes, dear" and smiled.
Just like a kid, he was watching everything with great excitement and happiness.
A fruit seller passed selling, apples and oranges. The young boy said to his dad, ''I want to eat apples." His father bought him apples. He said, "Oh. apple looks so sweet and I love this colour."
The group was watching all the activities of this boy and asked the boy's father, "Is your son having any problems? Why is he behaving so differently?" A friend from the group made fun of him and shouted, “His son is mad I think.”
The father of the young boy, with patience, replied to the friend-group, "My son was born blind. Only a few days ago he was operated and got the vision. He is seeing so many different things in his life for the first time."
The young friends became very quiet and said sorry to the father and son.

In life we sometimes have disagreements with people. It could be with your parents, or with a friend. When this happens, the important thing is to try not to let a calm （平静的）discussion
turn into a heated argument. But of course this is easier said than done.
The first thing is that the way you begin the conversation is very important. Imagine you are a student and you share a flat with another student who you think isn't doing her share of the housework. If you say, "Look, you never do your share of the housework. What are we going to do about it?", the discussion will very soon turn into an argument. It's much more helpful to say something like, "I think we'd better have another look about how we divide up the housework. Maybe there's a better way of doing it."
The second piece of advice is simple. If you're the person who is in the wrong, just admit (承认) it This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. Just apologize (道歉) to your flatmate, your parents, and move on. The other person will have more respect for you in the future if you do that.
And the final tip is that if necessary, call“Time Out”,like in a sports match. If you think that an argument is getting out of control，then you can say to the other person, "Listen, I'd rather talk about this tomorrow when we've both calmed down."You can then continue the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less angry. That way there is much more chance that you will be able to reach an agreement.
One last important thing. Some people think that arguing is always bad. This is not true. Conflict（冲突）is a normal part of life, and dealing with conflict is an important part of any relationship, whether it's three people sharing a flat, or just two good friends .If you don't learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won't be prepared to face it together. Think of the smaller arguments as training. Learn how to argue cleanly and fairly. It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer.
27. According to the passage, if you apologize for your mistakes, you will
A. feel much better than before
B. get lots of help from others
C. make the arguments heated
D. win more respect of others
28.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that______.
A . people are more Iikely to reach an agreement with calm
B .it's necessary for friends to argue with each other
C. it's better to deal with an argument very soon
D .friends' argument is just like a sports match
29. What's the passage mainly about?
A .Reason why people argue a lot. B. The results of arguments in our life.
C .The importance of conflict in our life.
D .Advice on how to deal with disagreements.

Early in the morning, Feldman would deliver some bagels and a money basket to a company's snack room; he would return before lunch to pick up the money and the left bagels.
He had also designed a beautiful economic experiment. By checking the money collected against the bagels taken, he found it possible to tell just how honest his customers were.
He considered that a company was honest if over 90% of the people paid. Between 80 and 90% was what he considered to be normal .It was only if a company paid less than 80% that he would feel he had to do something. First he would leave a note, kind of giving them a warning and then, if things didn't improve, he wouId simply stop selling there.
So what does the bagel data（数据）tell us? Well, first of all, it shows that smaller offices are more honest than big ones. An office with twenty to thirty employees（雇员）generally pays 3 to

Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia's fields are little power houses of nutritional protection. Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein（蛋白质）, iron and zinc（not that fruits have much protein）. Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants（抗氧化物质）. The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries（樱桃）, they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C. When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer. If you have a juicer you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below. （1）What does the author seem to like about cherries? A.They are high in vitamin A. B.They contain protein. C.They are rich in antioxidants. D.They have a pleasant taste. （2）Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas? A.To keep their colour. B.To make them smell better. C.To improve their nutrition. D.To speed up their ripening. （3）What is "a juicer" in the last paragraph? A.A drink. B.A dessert. C.A machine. D.A container. （4）From which is the text probably taken? A.A health magazine. B.A biology textbook.
第三部分：阅读理解(共25小题。A节每小题2分, B节每小题1分;满分45分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项中, 选出一个最佳答案。 B When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军), so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain. We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded(环绕)by cliffs (悬崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp. Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything. We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river- we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp. An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank.One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone. When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there. Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.
