15.Cookies don't really matterAs I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon,my heart sank further with each passing car.This was a day I'd looked forward to for weeks:Miss Pace's fourth-grade,end-of-the-year party.
I had happily volunteered (主动推荐) my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie (小甜饼) volunteers.Mom's chocolate chips were well-known,and I knew they'd be popular with my classmates.But two o'clock passed,and there was no sign of her.Most of the other mothers had already come and gone,dropping off their sweet offerings (礼物).
The three o'clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts ad I took my book bag from my desk.
I decided I would slam (摔) the front door,and refuse to return her hug.But when I arrived,she wasn't at home.I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door."Robbie,"she called out a bit urgently (急切地)."Where are you?"I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room,wondering where I could be.I remained silent.
Coming through the door,she said:"I'm so sorry,honey,"she said."I just forgot.I got busy and forgot."Then my mother did something completely unexpected.Sh began to laugh!How could she laugh at a time like this?I rolled over and faced her,ready to let her see my anger.But my mother wasn't laughing at all.She was crying."I let you down.I let my little boy down."I was moved by her tears.I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I'd skinned knees or cut myself,times when she knew just the right thing to say."It's okay,Mom.We didn't even need those cookies.There was plenty of stuff to eat.Don't cry.It's all right.Really."
We didn't say another word.We just held each other.When we came to the point where I would usually pull away (离开),I decided that,this time,I could hold on,perhaps,just a little bit longer.

5.As part of an effort to improve treatments for life-threatening illnesses,a team of scientists have created rabbits that glow in the dark.
Their efforts have produced two rabbits out of a litter of eight that went from being a normal,soft white to glowing green in the dark.The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of the collaboration between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii.
The rabbits glow to show that a genetic operation technique can work efficiently,though the specific color is more cosmetic than scientific."The green is not important at all-it's just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully,"said University of Hawaii associate professor,Stefan Moisyadi.
To produce the glowing effect,researchers injected jellyfish(水母)DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos.Then those embryos were inserted back into the mother.Similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches(蟑螂)and cats.
Eventually,the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines,Moisyadi said.
"The final goal is to develop animals that are able to produce beneficial molecules(分子)in their milk that can be cheaply extracted(提取),especially in countries that cannot afford big factories that make drugs,which  usually cost US $1 bn to build.Then they will be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals,"Moisyadi said.
The rabbits are expected to have the same life span as their non-glowing counterparts,but Moisyadi said he understands people can object to this kind of experimentation involving live animals.
"To the people against,I say:think about,what are the benefits and what are the injuries?"Moisyadi said."And if the benefits outweigh the injuries,let's go with the benefits."
Moisyadi,a native of Turkey who is now with the University of Hawaii,started developing the project in 2006,and researchers are now waiting to see if pregnant sheep produce similar results.
31.What do we know about the glowing rabbits?D
A.They live shorter lives than ordinary rabbits.
B.Their fur became green after the experiment.
C.They were chosen from a special species of rabbits.
D.The color that they glow isn't of interest to scientist.
32.Why did scientists conduct the experiment to create glowing rabbits?C
A.To research  animal genes.
B.To improve animal species.
C.To produce cheap,beneficial medicine.
D.To improve animal's ability to resist disease.
33.Which animal wasn't used as the test subject?C
A.The cat.B.The jellyfish.C.The sheep.D.The cockroach.
34.Which of the following is TRUE,according to the passage?C
A.The project is supported by people.
B.The success rate in creating the rabbits is 20%.
C.The project has been conducted for more than nine years.
D.The project is mainly conducted by Turkish scientists.
35.What is Moisyadi's attitude towards such experimentation?B
A.Doubtful.B.Supportive.C.Disapproving.D.Indifferent.
6.Last month,I (33)reutrned(return) to Australia to attend my elder sister's wedding.Although it was a very modern wedding,my sister kept one tradition (34)that/which comes from an old English poem.
The poem says that a bride must wear:"Something old,something new,something borrowed something blue."It is said (35)to bring(bring) good luck to the marriage.
Something old is (36)something passed on from the bride's family.It could be an heirloom(传家宝)that has been in the family for years,or a piece of her mother's dress.This is meant to show a connection (37)with the bride's family.
Something new brings hope for the future of the couple.It can be the new wedding dress,or new shoes.
Something borrowed is normally (38)an item of clothing or jewelry borrowed from one of the bride's friends who have a happy marriage.It is believed to bring some of the friend's luck from her marriage to the bride.
Last is something blue,which comes from another rhyme:"Marry in blue,husband be true."This means that a bride who wears blue (39)will have(have) a faithful husband.It could be on her jewelry or on her shoes.
These days,most brides do not believe that (40)wearing(wear) these items will really bring them good luck.However,they wear them anyway in recognition that traditions are important.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment.The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds in her right leg,a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
"This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,"said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH),Dr Len Notaras,according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband's"quick and diligent actions".
Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds,which are easy to get infected because of bacteria on the teeth of the crocodile.

7.Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time.Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day:you could finally stick to an exercise routine,or spring-clean the house,or write your novel,or learn the guitar and so on.
(16)D  But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
★Get Out of Bed Earlier.
If you normally get up at 7; 30 a.m.try getting up at 7:00 a.m.That half-hour might not sound like much,but it could be time that you use to exercise,to read that book you've been meaning to finish.(17)E   
★Do the Important Tasks First.
Once you get to work,get the important ones done first(not the easy ones,or even the urgent ones).(18)GIf you work like this,you'll usually save time.The urgent tasks will still get done,and you won't miss the important ones.
★Reduce Interruptions.
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat,or if the phone is constantly ringing,you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.(19)F 
★(20)A
A few minutes chatting,browsing the web,and so on,can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.If you concentration is slipping,take a proper break:go and get a glass of water,or stretch your legs a bit.And if you're facing a difficult task,try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A.Stay Focused on Your Work.
B.Take Breaks When Necessary.
C.Would you want me to make your day longer?
D.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
E.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
F.Constant interruptions don't just eat up time,they also break your concentration.
G.You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big,important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
