阅读快车系列答案On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were 35 warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 36 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so 37 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 38 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 39 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 40 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 41 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made 42 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 43 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he 44 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 45 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness 46 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.

Dear editor（编辑）
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks(孔雀)here .The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square（广场）
They are given food freely by visitors ,They usually throw food to them ,and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors . I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds ,but don’t realize(意识到)that they may be doing them harm (伤害).The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food .For us every person, it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan

There have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today——the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel . Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The earth was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then United States took a step. Since then other countries , including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.
English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and“tea”came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello tape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.
