2.Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina.We were there,as mental health professionals,to offer"psychological first aid"and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence.As we walked in the gate to the shelter,we were greeted with a burst of gratitude  from the first person we met.I felt appreciated,but also guilty,because I hadn't really done anything yet.
I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly.I had received a call saying she had just passed away.I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn't want to intrude(打扰)on this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.Another friend with me then said,"Just go.Just be there."I did,and I will never regret it.
Since then,I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others.Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others'presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.
In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.

12.When we're little,we know nothing about the rights and responsibilities of adulthood.(36)A.Thus,if we like a certain toy or if we want to eat a certain type of chocolate,we think that our parents will have to buy that for us.We don't care that they possibly have not enough money for that.If they don't carry out our wish,we'll begin to cry.(37)C.Whenever we begin to cry,we'll get what we want.
Still,little by little,we realize that our parents can't offer us all that we want for certain reasons.We then also understand that parents have their rights.They have the right to scold us when we do something wrong or when they find out that we have lied to them(38)D.They choose our clothes,the food we eat,the school we'll study at,the hours when we should go out to play and the time we have to return home.
(39)F.They are the ones to be blamed later if we don't receive proper education.That's why when we beat a classmate at the kindergarten,parents are the ones to apologize for our deeds in front of the teacher and the classmate's parents.And when we get ill,they are responsible for not taking good care of us and for dressing us inadequately.
The moment we become teenagers,we notice that we should be responsible for our behaviors in society.Now we have the right to be independent.(40)G.It is supposed that we are mature enough to solve our problems and to make people around trust us.For some of us,this is a difficult test to pass,but it is the best method to see if we are capable of taking our place in society.

A.We think our parents should offer us all we need.
B.We should believe we can do them by ourselves.
C.This is a child's important weapon to threaten his/her parents.
D.Moreover,they have the right to make choices for us when we're little.
E.As a matter of fact,parents have a lot of things to be concerned about.
F.But at the same time they are responsible for many things that happen to us.
G.However,it's also time for us to give explanations when we do something wrong.

14.Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now,and they did not need to be as careful as they must today.They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed.They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them.Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course,sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times,there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems.New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however,the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers.In the U.S,for example,there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems.It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow.Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell.A third department looks at the places where people work,and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers.Of course,new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness,but they are having some good results.Our work places are safer and cleaner than before.The planes and cars which we use for travel are better.Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

56.What had bad effects on the health of the workers?(No more than 6words)The conditions in the work place./The working conditions.
57.In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers?(No more than 20words)By testing new products,controlling foods and drugs and examining work places

59.What is the passage mainly about?(No more than 15words)The changes of safety and health of workers and customers

Now she works near my home.She has often slept on the sofa in my home and I so love this.
Last week I turned my study into a bedroom for her.Today a new bed and mattress(床垫) arrived and I went to Belfast to buy quilts,pillows,cushions,curtains,lampshade etc to make this into the room my daughter should have had in my home 12 years ago.She has really loved being able to input into this room for her and I have really loved creating a li ttle special personal space for her in my home.
In the end,l worked it out but I can tell you I really learned so much by way of practicing patience in those painful early days.
I hope my little daughter who is now a young 23-year-old woman never distances herself from me again,no child should be without a Mother's love.
