“Chinese 38 are everywhere，”he says，“You can’t avoid those，no matter how hard you
try It is impossible．”
That is the 39 ，which I have been considering for months，since I have kept the American car with the Chinese 40 in it．This week I was 41 again of the difficulty of avoiding China when I bought earrings from a local artist．I was feeling pleased with myself 42 I got home and noticed the flee gift box made in China．
My boss continues，“You know what you are doing? You are 43 your dependence on China，not 44 it，”he says，“You are just cheating yourself．”
The boss，a frequent complainer，doesn’t slow down when I 45 to stop him to 46
that I am writing a 47 of stories On the Boycott for the business magazine．
“Maybe you can 48 it year without Chinese products， 49 sooner or later you will even 50 Chinese dishes，”the nice boss says，“There is no getting around it”
I 51 at him as he turns to leave，quite 52 ．
“Thanks for your support，”I say to his 53 .
The year is nearly half over．I can 54 without them． 55 ，it is a little inconvenient to live without a DVD player，a DV camera or a printer made in China．But a better question might be：How hard could it be to live without Made in China with the whole family ?

“You know．Mitch，now that I"m dying，I"ve become much more interesting to people．I’m
on the last great journey here——and people want me to tell them what to pack．”
The phone rang again．
“Morrie，can you talk?”Connie asked
“I’m visiting with my old friend now，”he announced．“Let them call back．”
I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly．I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier．Had it not been for“Nightline，”Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again．
What happened to me?
The eighties happened The nineties happened．Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened．I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck，and I never even realized I was doing it Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years，as if I"d Simply been on a long vacation
“Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked
“Are you at peace with yourself?”
“Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”
I felt ashamed，wanting to show I had been trying hard to
work out such questions．Whathappened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money，that I would join the
Peace Corps，and that 1 would live in beautiful，inspirational places．
Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years，at the same workplace，using the same bank，visiting the same barber I was thirty-seven，more mature than in college，tied to computers and modems and cell phones．I was no longer young，nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with
unlit cigarettes in my mouth．I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life．
My days were full，yet I remained，much of the time，unsatisfied

Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, 71 ．
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”．In all cases，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly．
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions. As we
get to know people, 72 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is more
difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background．
Then, 73 ．Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends．Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness．
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs，the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become．the more they depend on each other. And 74 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits，and to accept differences in opinion.
In contrast with marriage, 75 . But the support and understanding that results fro
m shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship| A．we are usually friends with only a few |
| B．many factors can affect friendship and relationship |
| C．people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down |
| D．argument and discussion can improve personal relationships |
F．we pay attention to actual behavior，facial expression，and the way a person speaks
G．there a

For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed 36 clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments 37 all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents, 38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life 39 smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into 40 arguments with my older and wiser parents. The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d 44 a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. T

After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.Hugs will 50 be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to 51 your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so 54 . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite 55 .

The man traveling in the back of the ambulance which was running at a high speed along the streets of Baltimore that morning in 2008 had no business to be alive．By everything that was reasonable，and there were plenty of such things before，he should have been very dead indeed．But he wasn’t．As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him，he was only slightly hurt．Yet he had just fallen 150 feet down a hotel lift shaft（电梯通道）!
Unknown to the man，two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day．On the thirteenth f1oor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open．Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and，it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet．
Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents，but this was ancient equipment unreliable，slow，dangerous，and suitable material to recycle．
The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.
Good! The life gate was open. The life must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy life made its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cag
e was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash!
Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.
59．What do we learn about the man?
A．He fell from the 13th floor. B．He was hit by an ambulance．
C．He got caught in a serious flood． D．He made a record for high-diving.
60．By “……had no business to be alive”，the writer means that the man_______.
A．had missed his business appointment B．was alive with excitement
C．was alive and this was surprising D．didn’t do any business
61．Tile lift did not have a fail-safe system because it was____________.
A．narrow B．slow C．1arge D．old
62．Which of the following was NOT the cause of the accident?
A．A pipe burst． B．The man overslept
C．The hotel forgot to call him D．Someone left the lift door open
