18.I almoWith rates as low as $3.75per week!
"Well,I finally did it.I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone.My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help.But when I went to the cell phone store,st changed my mind.The phones all have cameras,computers and a"global-positioning"something or other that's supposed to spot me from space.Goodness,all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!The people at the store weren't much help.They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp.And the rate plans!They were confusing,and expensive…and the contract (合同)lasted for two years!I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.Now,I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch---with a phone I can actually use."
Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订)!Unlike other cell phones,Jitterbug has plans that make sense.Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use?And if I do talk more than I plan,I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone.Best of all,there is no contract to sign-so I'm not locked in for years at a time.The US-based customer service is second to none.And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

19.Leonardo da Vinci(达芬奇)began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503.He was working on a special painting for a church at the time,but the church painting was not going well.An Italian businessman asked da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman's second wife.This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa.
    All in all,the Mona Lisa is a very good example of da Vinci's work.Da Vinci uses darkness and light in a clever way in the painting.
    Da Vinci loved science and maths.Right away a person can see that there is a lot of geometry(几何学)in the Mona Lisa.The face of the Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls.Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.
    The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony(露台),and mountains can be seen behind her.Da Vinci loved to study rocks and mountains,so these can be seen over and over in his other paintings.
    The woman is sitting with her knees to the side.Her head is turned to look out of the painting.Her hands are held together in front of her.This way of sitting is now used by many artists when they are painting a picture of a man or woman today.

13.Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16years,it is that communication is very important,both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn't solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can't just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say"Hi",and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word"communication"in a dictionary,it would say"the exchange of ideas,the conveyance (表达) of information,correspondence (通信),means of communication:a letter or a message".To maintain (保持) a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel,even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,not when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren't as mad and let the incident go.Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen,Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn't a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie's,telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.

A.the importance of friendship

C.the importance of communication    
D.the disagreement between generations
33.When parents and children are in communication,the key to a happy relationship is thatD.
A.children should always obey their parents   
B.parents should mind their own business
C.parents play the leading part             
D.both make the opposite know their feelings
34.The example in this passage proves thatD.
A.Sophie's parents are willing to listen to her
B.Sophie is very polite to her parents
C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D.communication is the solutionto misunderstanding
35.All the following statements are correct except"C".
A.If you don't agree with others,you'd better let them know
B.It is better to say"Hi"to others than say nothing
C.If you are not able to communicate,walk away
D.Communication is a two-way deal.
20.Christmas Eve was tomorrow.I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree.It was the only thing I wanted.I had been  dropping hints to my parents.I love taking photos.My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera.I'm always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene,but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning,so I went on a hunt in my mom's room.I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat.I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that,and she tried to cheer me up."Stacy,I got your present today.I am so excited to surprise you!""I can't wait,"I said.The next day I couldn't wait any longer.I needed to tell her.
"Mom,may I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure,dear.What do you need to talk about?"she asked.
And so it came-how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
"Stacy,that cat is for your sister Julia!"she said with a smile.
"Then what am I getting?"I asked.
She just smiled."You'll have to wait and see."
The next morning,I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree.I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
My camera!"Thank you!"I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia,Mom and me.It has become one of my favorite pictures.Just on that Christmas morning,I took lots of photos with my camera-my little sister making a face,my parents giving me a soft smile-and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me:love.
