Several minutes later，the floods （39）D to the priest's chest．He had to climb onto the Lord's table and stood on it．At that time，a police came by （40）B and asked the priest to go with him．But the priest （41）A again，"No，I would like to guard my church．I believe that God will save me．You'd better go to save others．"
After a while，the entire church was in the water．The priest had no choice but to firmly grasp the top of the cross of the church．A helicopter flying over slowly，a （42）A dropped a rope ladder and shouted，"Father，be quick．This is the lastD（43）D．We don't want to see you drowned by the flood!"The priest insisted，"No．God will save me．God will be with me forever!"
（44）B，the priest died．He met God and asked angrily，"I'm loyal to you all my life，but why do you refuse to （45）D me？"God answered，"At first，I sent a boat．You didn't take it．I sent a speedboat for the second time．But you refused again．At last，a helicopter was sent there to rescue you．You were still unwilling to （46）Athe chance．Therefore，I thought you wanted to come back to my side to accompany me．"
In fact，too many obstacles in life are caused by stubbornness and ignorance．If someone offers a helping hand，only when we ourselves （41）C our hands too，will it work．

9．Amber，16，has been in four foster-care homes（寄养家庭）in two years．Now she is getting a makeover（精心打扮）at the mall to be filmed in a television station in Boise，Idaho，which may help her find a permanent family that does the ordinary things families do-go on picnics，eat out，and watch movies together．
Ten years ago，teenagers such as Amber were so hard to place with adoptive families that hardly anyone tried．If you talked about finding a home for an older child，that meant the kid was 7or 8．But today，people are increasingly willing to adopt those who are 9years old or older，and most experts believe the phenomena will continue．
Of course，the teens often need as much encouragement and advice as the future parents do．In St．Louis，Missouri，Project Teen Plus provides a support group to help teenagers talk about their fears and doubts about being adopted，for many of them have lived in institutions so long that they have no idea what life in a family is like．And teens often have mixed feelings about joining a new family．Many teens in foster care are worried that being adopted means having to reject their birth families．One adoption expert suggests finding out the reasons for teenagers'resistance and offering the choice of remaining in touch with their birth families after entering adoptive homes．
The key to success seems to be careful preparation and patience of both the teen and the family．So a teenager usually spends six to nine months with a future family before an adoption is finally decided．For example，a couple decided to open their home to Michael，17．For ten months，the couple and the boy struggled to get to know and accept one another．But Michael's 18th birthday brought about change．The big event was not only his first birthday with his adoptive family but also the first time he had ever been given birthday gifts and a cake．For Michael's new parents，the rewards have been great．"You're not just helping someone else，"says Father．"You're making a decision to grow as a family．"

67．The purpose of mentioning Amber in the first paragraph isC．
A．to show the readers the ordinary things families do
B．to help Amber find a permanent family to adopt her
C．to introduce the topic of teenager adoption to readers
D．to indicate that teenager girls are eager to be film stars
68．According to the passage，why do teenagers fear and doubt about being adopted？B
A．They spend too much time living all by themselves．
B．They don't know what their life will be in a new family．
C．They can't get enough support from some institutions．
D．They talk less with the future parents about adoption．
69．Many teens in foster care think being adopted meansC．
A．no longer seeing their friends
B．saying good-bye to their pets
C．having to reject their birth families
D．losing their choice of education

6．Since the 1990s，education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen．Last December，the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school．In 2008 the passage rate was about sixty-three percent．There have been increases each year since then．
Professor Shireen Motala at the University of Johannesburg says that access to basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa．She says most children stay in school until they are about sixteen．The problem now，she says，is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school．
Students take an examination known as the matric in grade twelve，their final or"matriculation"year．Professor Motala notes that less than half the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year．
Educational researchers also point to another problem．They say South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in math and science．Many schools are not well-equipped．They do not have libraries at school．Ninety-two percent of the schools do not have libraries．
Also，education specialists say，in many cases，teachers and school principals do not have the skills or training to do their jobs．In other cases，they are simply not doing their duty to provide an education．
Professor Motala says a number of teachers were poorly trained during the system of apartheid （种族隔离制度），or racial separation in South Africa．Apartheid ended in 1994．
Secondly，she says，teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years．And，finally，she thinks language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should．
South Africa's minister of basic education promises a number of improvements．

3．Italians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day，an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures．
"Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives，"said Bruno Contigiani，the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association．Contigiani，62，a one-time high-powered manager，is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world．He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace，and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle．
    Contigiani's association suggests"14 commandments （诫条）"for living better，such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing．Others include walking whenever possible，and reading in the evenings instead of watching television．
     This year，Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai，one of the fastest moving cities in the world．The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire aftemoon，inviting people to"slow down"．"Among the"14  commandments'，the one  about waking up five minutes  earlier was the most popular by far，"Contigiani said．
     Back in Italy，the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities，such as reminding people to  stop and  smell  the roses．In central  Milan：you  would probably be fined  if you walk  too fast．In parks and public spaces，free yoga and Tai Chi （太极拳） lessons are important parts of the events．
     Italian farmers'union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals，a habit connected to rising levels of obesity．Therefore，the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular．
     World Slow Day is by now an  intemational event．A  total of 90"Slow Cities"in  11 countries inspired by the"live well"philosophy are supporting the day．

4．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺骗）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
For example，someone might say，''I just won a hundred．dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"．This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought$200worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her  opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，''Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．''It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

31．The underlined word"opponents"in Paragraph 3meansA．
A．enemy    B．partner    C．cooperator   D．assistant
32．We may infer that the author believes people shouldC．
A：．buy lottery tickets if possible    B．make use of half-truths
C．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company
33．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive？C
A．One．    B．Two．    C．Three． D．Four．
34．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Using half truths is against the law．
B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．
35．which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage？B
A．He's really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．
D．It's against the law to make false statements．
