18．No matter how old you are，your mom will always remain as one of the most important people in your life．Maybe you don't know how to express your appreciation and love to her on an ordinary day．（36）FHere are several things we can do this Mother's Day to show how much we appreciate and care for our mothers．
Give her flowers．（37）BYou can show your love to your mom by giving her flowers that match her personality．Or，if you do not know your mom's favorite，carnations（康乃馨） could be your best choice．
Cook for her．Mothers usually are the ones who cook for us．Your mom will absolutely love it if you surprise her by taking over the kitchen and cooking something for her．Just make sure you clean up afterwards．
（38）CYou can just do so describing how much your mother means to you．It can be very effective that your mom will keep them and always be reminded of how important she is to your lives as a family member．
Travel with her．Mothers work hard，so traveling can help her to relax and forget her problems．She will treasure the moment--wherever you go，just your presence．（39）G
Take her to a spa．Massages or spas（按摩保健） are for moms of all ages，and she will enjoy breaking the boredom of staying indoors the whole day．（40）E

C．Write her a letter．
D．She remains the center of attention and respect for a child for a long time．
E．And this will offer your mom comfort and an increased sense of well-being．
F．However，Mother's Day is the special time when you can let her know how important she is to you．
G．A lot of us forget that the best gift to give her is ourselves．

8．What is your favorite color？Do you like yellow，orange or red？（36）D Do you prefer greys and blues？If you do，you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead．（37）B At least，this is what psychologists （心理学家） tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference，as well as the effect that colors have on human beings．They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up---we are born with our preference．
（38）G A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one； and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．（39）A A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides （自杀） than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．
（40）E It is an established fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted bright colors rather than black or grey．
A．On the other hand，black is depressing．
B．You tend to be pessimist （悲观者）．
C．People like different colors．
D．If you do，you must be an optimist （乐观者），a leader，an active person who enjoys life．

F．Life is like a picture or a poem，full of different colors．

9．There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love．One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds．（36）E She cared about them with love and the birds grew strong．Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song．The girl felt great love for the birds．
（37）F The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage．The girl was so frightened that he would fly away．As he flew close，she grasped him wildly．Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing（捕捉） him．
（38）B She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird．It was her desperate love that had killed him．
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage．She could feel his great need for freedom．He needed to fly into the clear，blue sky．（39）G The bird circled once，twice，three times．
The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment．（40）C What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily．Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder．It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard．
Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly；the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

6．For over one hundred and fifty years，Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．（36）FWhether they are worn for work or for fashion today，Strauss'invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829．（37）AHe grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853，Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949，Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead，he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first，he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth．（38）DWhen he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining，he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．
In 1873，Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea，he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent．（39）C．
By the time Strauss died in 1902，he had made a great contribution to American fashion．（40）EThe business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss'company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．

A．As a young boy，he moved with his family to the United States．
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．
C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．
D．However，he did not get much business for those products．
E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss，they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．
G．As the business grew，Strauss got much money from it．
13．While serious training is important for all dogs，playtime is just as important．（36）BUse these games to help teach your dog how to play．
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn't just for kids．Dogs can really enjoy this game．Pick up one of your dog's favorite toys or treats．Tell your dog to stay．（37）AWhen you are ready，call your dog to come to you．If possible，squeak（使吱吱叫） the toy or shake the treats．Reward your dog with praise and the toy or treat when she finds you．
Fetch
Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch．Other dogs can be taught how．（38）CPlay indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc．For dogs that really love to run，try this game of fetch!
Find the Treat
Dogs have superior senses of smell，and most love to use their noses to find food．Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies．First，have your dog stay out of sight．Then，hide her favorite treats in different places around the room．（39）GIf help is needed，you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore．
Whatever the game，safety comes first!Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing．Stopif your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety．（40）EWhen other dogs or people are around，it may create a dangerous distraction （分神）．

A．Then，go to find a good hiding place．
B．You can include games in training as well．
C．A good game of fetch can be played almost anywhere．
D．Try different games to see which your dog responds to best．
E．Also be aware of your surroundings when playing with your dog．
F．Encourage your dog to play with other dogs．
G．Bring your dog back in and tell her to"go find!"
3．Can you fall fast asleep at night？If not，you can try to drink a glass of hot milk．（36）E Still no luck？Try thinking about sheep jumping over a fence．Count them to yourself，"One，two，three，four…one hundred and ninety-five，one hundred and ninety-six…"
（37）C Should you take a sleeping pill？People who take pills often come to depend on the drugs．So you lie awake knowing that the new work day will soon arrive．If this happens to you forat least one month，you may have primary insomnia（失眠）．There are millions of you…us…around the world．
A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try"cerebral hypothermia"．No，cerebral hypothermia is not a complex medical process．（38）B
Two American professors led the study．They examined 12people who had insomnia and 12others who had no sleep problems．Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their heads at bed time．
（39）D The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water．Other studies showed that people who had trouble sleeping often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brains．The researchers thought lowering the temperature of the brain might help．
The first two nights of testing，the patients wore no water caps．During the next two nights，the caps were worn，but the water was not cooled．Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights．（40）G
The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃．Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads．
A．Some say sheep counting might help．
B．It just means cooling down your brain．
C．It is late at night and you are still awake．
D．The caps had tubes inside filled with water．
E．If that does not work，listen to some soft，beautiful music．
F．They believe they have discovered something important that needs more research．
G．On the final two nights of the study，the temperature of the water was made much cooler．
10．"The chair is out to kill us，"says James Levine，a professor at the Mayo School of Medicine．Most of us have years of sitting experiences，considering ourselves quite good at it．（36）GBut unfortunately，a good deal of data suggests that we're off our chairs to spend so much time on the vast variety of other seats where we're fond of parking our bottoms．Here are some things that scientists have learned about the insidious（潜伏的）nature of sitting．
Sitting position has gone wrong．
（37）ACertainly people have done that for thousands of years．But lately，not so much．In general，scientists believe，Americans now sit for more than half of their walking hours．Sadly，the sitting position exerts force on the body which can lead to a lot of trouble including poor circulation（血液循环），aches and pains．
　　Make people become too fat．
We're not using much energy when we're sitting still．（38）BIt is also just another way of saying"watch out for extra pounds．"It is mainly the chair that has caused the increase in obesity rates．A person with a desk job may burn 300 calories a day at work，but the same person might burn 2，300 calories a day in jobs that require considerable physical efforts．In other words，we need more walking to burn more calories．
（39）ESitting at your desk and working hard for hours on end can increase your chances of getting a promotion．（40）FWhen comparing people who spent the most time sitting with those who spent the least time sitting，researchers found more sitting increases the risks of death from all causes．

A．The human body is designed for walking．
B．That is just another way of saying"we are not burning many calories"．
C．They ought to work out to build their bodies．
D．We should be more patient and work longer than before．
E．Realize the damage．
F．But it also brings people diseases or even early death．
G．We will say nature intends us to do it．
7．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．Eye care should begin early in life．（36）B The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays（紫外线）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（37）C
•Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．（38）G
•Eat your greens．（39）A Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隐形眼镜）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．（40）FAlways follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

A．As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．
B．Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．
C．They can properly protect your eyes．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
F．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．
G．Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
8．We should pay more attention to the wildlifeprotection（保护）．
