11．This was my grandmother's first Christmas without grandfather，and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever．When my parents and I （36）A at her house，we found she had waited up all night for us．The house did seem a little（37）B without grandfather．
Grandfather had always said that the Christmas  （38）D was the most important decoration of all．So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather's closet （壁橱）．Through our efforts，we finally stepped back to （39）A our handiwork．It looked beautiful．（40）C something was missing．
"Where's your star？"I asked．
The star was my grandmother's favorite part of the tree．
"Why，it （41）B be here somewhere，"she said，starting to sort through the boxes again．"Your grandfather always （42）A everything so carefully when he took the tree down．"
As we emptied the boxes and （43）C no star，my grandmother's eyes filled with tears．Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together．It brought them great happiness．Now，on her first Christmas without him，the star was （44）A，too．
"Don't worry，Grandmother，"I （45）D her．"We'll find it for you．"
My mother and I formed a search （46）D．"Let's start in on the closet where the ornaments （装饰品） were，"Mother said．"Maybe the star just fell out of the box．"
That sounded （47）B，so I began to search the closet．I thought I tried every （48）C，but no star．I could see grandmother was （49）D，although she tried not to show it．
"What's in this wrapped box？"Mother suddenly called out．"It was at the bottom of father's closet．"Grandmother took the box in （50）D and opened it．Her face （51）B when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star．There was a（n） （52）B attached．
Don't be angry with me，dear．I broke your star while packing the decorations，and I couldn't （53）A to tell you．Thought it was time for a new one．I hope it brings you as much（54）D as the first one．Merry Christmas!
Love，
Bryant
So grandmother's tree had a star after all，a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another．And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas （55）A for her．

6．For their nick-of-time acts，Toby，a 2-year-old dog，and Winnie，a cute cat，were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals．
As Amy Paul choked on a piece of apple at her home，her dog jumped up，landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out．When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide（一氧化碳），their cat clawed at the wife Cathy's hair until she woke up and called for help．
No one could explain their timely heroics．
Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy-Toby as a 4-week-old thrown into a dustbin to die，and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn，so helpless that Cathy's husband，Eric，had to feed her milk with a special tool．
As the Keeslings recalled it，a gas-driven pump being used broke down，spreading carbon monoxide through the house．By the time Winnie went to rescue，the couple's 14-year-old son was already unconscious．"Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me，with a kind of angry sound，"Cathy Keesling said．The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death，judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house．
Amy Paul's husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple．"Normally I peel（削皮） them，but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients，so I ate the skin，and that's what caused me to choke，"she recalled．"I couldn't breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me．He never does that，but he did，and saved my life．"
Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards lunch．

-（36）BBut if I were you，I should leave that for some other day．You could spend a whole day there．It's much too big to be seen in an hour or so．
-I suppose it is．（37）F
-That's not a bad idea．You could spend a couple of hours there comfortably，or even a whole afternoon，watching the wild animals and all those birds．You could have tea tere too．
-I'll do that then．How do I get there？
-（38）AWhere are we now？Oh，there's that big building．I think your best way from here is to take Baker Street．

12．Margaret，married with two small children，has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner，cleaning offices in a big building．
She got trained as a nurse，but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill．"I would have liked to go back to it，but the shifts（工作班次）are all wrong for me，as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school．"
So she works as a cleaner instead，from 9p．m．till 6a．m．five nights a week for just￡90，before tax and insurance．"It's better than it was last year，but I still think that people who work‘unsocial hours'should get a bit extra．"
The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children，but very little of her husband．However，she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship．
Her work isn't physically very hard，but it's not exactly pleasant，either．"I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs．If they realized people like me have to do it，perhaps they'd be a bit more careful．"
The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all．Unlike some dark buildings at night，the building where she works is fully lit，and the women work in groups of three．"Since I've got to be here，I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do，together with the other girls．We all have a good laugh，so the time never drags．"
Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living．"They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write，"said Margaret．"I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I'd been doing，but I don't think that way any more．I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it．"

28．Margaret quit her job as a nurse becauseC．
A．she wanted to earn more money to support her family
B．she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C．she needed the right time to look after her children
D．she felt tired of taking care of patients
29．Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office becauseD．
A．they never clean their offices           
B．they look down upon cleaners
C．they never do their work carefully     
D．they always make a mess in their offices
30．When at work，Margaret feelsA．
A．light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B．happy because the building is fully lit
C．tired because of the heavy workload
D．bored because time passes slowly
31．The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret's parents wouldD．
A．help care for her children           
B．regret what they had said
C．show sympathy for her              
D．feel disappointed with her．
