rooklyn. She recently 21 a Special Olympics and went to the starting line of the 100-metre dash with six 22 contestants. As the starting whistle sounded, a boy tripped, fell and began to cry.

Why am I so moved? There are tears of joy 26 with tears of sadness. Tears of joy, just for the 27 friendship, selflessness and love embodied (体现) by these children. Tears of sadness, just for how 28 from such behavior we adults have wandered. Wouldn’t it be nice if, at least once in a while, we could pause in our race for money and power; turn around to see the 29 of those we have left behind; go back and 30 these less able ones to their feet; and then walk forward together with them, arm in arm. | 小题1: |

A full moon 3 on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year"s countdown.
"If you"re in Times Square, you"ll see the 4 moon right above you. It"s going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.
The New Year"s Eve blue moon will be 5 in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up 6 New Year"s Day, making January a blue moon month for them.
However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse（月蚀） on New Year"s Eve when 7 of the moon enters the Earth"s shadow. The 8 will not be visible in the Americas.
A full moon occurs 9 29.5 days, and most years have 12. 10 , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The 11 time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year"s Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won"t 12 again until 2028.
Blue moons have no astronomical 13 , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"`Blue moon" is just a 14 in the same sense as a `hunter"s moon" or a `harvest moon,"" Laughlin said in an e-mail.
The popular definition of blue moon 15 after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer"s Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar 16 a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.
Though Sky & Telescope corrected the 17 decades later, the definition caught on. For purists（语言纯正癖者）, however, this New Year"s Eve full moon doesn"t even qualify as a 18 moon. It"s just the first full moon of the winter season.
In a tongue-in-cheek essay 19 on the magazine"s Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I"m 20 celebrating, I"ll take a peek（眯着眼睛看） at that brilliant orb（天体） as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it"s an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I"ll just howl."

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _31_ had such a big influence _32_ a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, _33_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _34_ to express my own opinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _35_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about _36_ itself. There are so many things around us that _37_ our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _38_ it or not . What we can do is just to make _39_ suit the world. I think we should learn to accept _40_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to _41_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by（流逝）and leave you _42_ regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _43_ such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, _44_ it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own _45_ towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables picked at their best are superior to those vegetables purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can prove a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.
Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing(吸收人的) for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.
Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.
One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work in it at odd moments.
Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous(能渗透的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). A deep, fine, sandy good quality soil is best.
Usually the hoe owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.
小题1:Home-grown vegetables ___________.
| A．can remain standing for a long time and need not be picked immediately. |
| B．have to be eaten as soon as they are picked |
| C．sell well in the market because of their good quality |

| C．they can work in the vegetable garden at odd moments |
| D．it provides vegetables for the family all the year round. |
| A．should be sunny | B．should be within walking distance |
| C．should be large-sized | D．should consist of sandy soil |
| A．Vegetable Gardening, an Escape from Boredom |
| B．An Ideal Vegetable Garden |

Researchers used a cartoon cat Sylvester to study how language was reflected (反映) in the gestures people made. Dr. Sotaro Kita of the University of Bristol’s Department of Experimental Psychology (心理学), showed the cartoon to a group of native English, Japanese and Turkish speakers and then watched their gestures as they described the actions they had seen. He found speakers of the three different languages used different gestures to describe the same event, which appeared to reflect the way the structure of their languages expressed that event. For example, when describing a scene where the cat swings on a rope, the English speakers used gestures showing an arc trajectory (弧形轨迹) and the Japanese and Turkish speakers tended to use straight gestures showing the motion but not the arc.
Dr. Kita suggests this is because Japanese and Turkish have no proper verb to express the English meaning “to swing”. While English speakers use the arc gesture as their language can readily express the change of location and the arc-shaped trajectory, Japanese and Turkish speakers cannot as easily express the idea of movement with an arc trajectory so they use the straight gesture.
Dr. Kita said, “My research suggests that speakers of different languages cause different spatial (空间的) images of the same event in a way that matches the expressive possibilities of their own languages. In other words, language influences (影响) spatial thinking at the moment of speaking.”
68. 小题1:Researchers watched the gestures the people made because they wanted to know _____.
| A．how language was reflected |
| B．whether they could express the same idea |
| C．whether they could describe what they had seen |
| D．how the structure of language changed |
| A．Japanese and Turkish people couldn’t express the meaning of “swing” |
| B．English was obviously better than Japanese and Turkish |
| C．no word in Japanese and Turkish could express some ideas of English |
| D．every language had its own special way to describe things |
| A．Differences between languages. |
| B．Differences between gestures. |
| C．How people use different gestures to express the same event. |
| D．That language influences the way people think. |
I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with 36 potential（潜力）. Here goes her story.
At the end of our training 37 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 38 come to the school on Sunday for a little 39 training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 40 missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 41 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 42 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to 43 me. Why couldn"t Lucy 44 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍） 45 a physical one. I decided to try something 46 . I made up my mind to 47 to Lucy.
On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 48 ?” She began to throw again, but 49 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the 50 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 51 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 52 .
The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 53 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 54 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
Sometimes we 55 our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.
