　 I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36　 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37　 and started playing with each other． In the 7^th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was 38　 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people．”　 39　 of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40　 they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 41　 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．

It was last year when I 42　 the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 43　 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．

She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 44 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 45　． I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 46 deserted her, when people were calling her 47 , but I knew I still 48　 her like a sister．

Yesterday she came 49　 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 50　 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 51　． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 52　 me． I 53　 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 54　 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 55　 your friends．

　　Since my retirement（退休）from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist, I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes（风景画） much influenced（影响）by Krenkel and St. John for five years.

　　For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.

　　Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said,“At seventy I can follow my heart's desire.”

(1)What is the text mainly about?

[　　]

A．Learning to paint in later life.

B．How to paint watercolors.

C．An artist-turned teacher.

D．Life after retirement.

(2)The author started drawing again in 1995 because ______.

[　　]

A．he hoped to draw a picture of his father

B．he couldn't stop missing his father

C．he had more time after retirement

D．he liked animals and landscapes

(3)We can infer from the text that the author ______.

[　　]

A．had been taught by Krenkel and St. John

B．painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years

C．believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors

D．started his retirement life at the age of seventy

(4)How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?

[　　]

　　Thirty million people visit Paris every year and when you are standing in a queue at the Louvre waiting to have a look at the Mona Lisa,it is possible to think that each and every one of them is in the same room as you.

　　But it is possible to see the iconic sites of the City of Lights without falling into the crowded tourists.

　　My favourite way to enjoy Paris is to

take enough money to last a visit of at least two months. I did this when I was 20. I lived in a poor hotel on Rue St. Jacques around the corner from the Sorbonne and the Jardin du Luxembourg. Surviving on 100 francs a day, I ate baguettes, tomatoes and a jar of mayon-naise. I drank my short blacks while standing at the counter of cafes. I walked everywhere,down the city's grand avenues and up its hid-den old alleyways. I loved every single pover-ty-covered moment of that winter.

　　I've been back several times since for shorter trips. Each time, Paris offers new joys and discoveries.

　　An increasingly popular way to get that true Parisienne (巴黎女子的) touch to your trip is to rent an apartment. Brisbane author Nerida Newtown loved the “at home” feeling when she and her family realized a long-term dream by living in Paris for a few months.

　　If you can't manage a long stay, never fear. Jodie Minus's excitable account of her whirlwind trip to the City of Lights shows how you can get the most out of Paris in a short time. Jenny Stevens managed to show a first-time visitor much of Paris. But now it's over to you: Share your secrets and passions about Paris.

(1) The text is mainly to tell readers________.

[　　]

A．where to visit in Paris

B．some tips on how to visit Paris

C．the writer's experience of visiting Paris

D．the introduction of Paris

(2) Those who want to get tips on short trips in Paris had better contact________.

[　　]

A．the Mona Lisa

B．Jodie Minus

C．Jenny Stevens

D．the writer

(3) According to the text, “ the City of Lights” should refer to“________”.

[　　]

A．the city of Paris

B．the hotel the writer ever lived in

C．a famous tourist attraction in Paris

D．the name of a Paris' street

(4) According to the writer, in order to know better about Paris, visitors________.

[　　]

A．should read Nerida Newtown's novels first

B．had better plan a long trip there

C．must get advice from Jenny Stevens

D．should visit Louvre for the Mona Lisa

A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a million?dollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg，co?existing on her ￡ 30?a?month pension，because he has been unemployed for many years.

The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse(隐士) who shocked the maths world when he solved a century?old puzzle known as the Poincaré Conjecture.

Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute，the Steklov，in 2003.When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re?elect him as a member，Dr Perelman was left feeling an “absolutely ungifted and untalented person”，said a friend.He became unconfident and cut himself off.

Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress in Madrid，where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize，and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.

Interviewed in St Petersburg，Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention，and was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest，” he said. “I am not saying that because I value my privacy，or that I am doing anything I want to hide.There are no top?secret projects going on here.I just believe the public has no interest in me.”

He continued: “I know that self?promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that，good luck to them，but I do not regard it as a positive thing.I realized this a long time ago and nobody is going to change my mind. Newspapers should be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.They should have more taste.As far as I am concerned，I can't offer anything for their readers.”

Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer，but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the D＄1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge，Massachusetts，for solving one of the world's seven “Millennium Problems”．

1．Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because ________.

A．he has to look after her

B．his mother has a million dollars

C．he has been out of work for a long time

D．he is badly paid at the mathematical institute

2. The phrase“absolutely ungifted and untalented person”shows that Dr Perelman felt ________.

A．angry　　　　　　　　　　B．discouraged

C．proud　　　　　　　　　 D．confident

3．Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because ________.

A．he thought the prize was worthless

B．he didn't believe the news

C．he couldn't afford to travel to Madrid

D．he showed no interest in it

4．From the passage, we can infer that Grigory Perelman ________.

A．solved the most difficult maths problem

B．has a strong personality

C．wanted to make himself known to all

D．didn't get on well with the press

5．What's the best title for the passage?

A．Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life

B．Maths Genius Abandons a Million?dollar Prize

C．Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory D＄1 Million

D．One of the World's Seven “Millennium Problems” Solved
