A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(显出) it wasn’t.

When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.

But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.

An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.

John Renehan:

Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.

Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.

B.In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.

D.They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.

Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.

“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents,” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”

 What would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things. 

She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the  corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.

“Granny, granny,” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”

He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.

“No parcel, Johnnie?”

“No, granny.”

Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.

 The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

41. As can be inferred from the passage, ______.

  A. the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life

B. the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post

C. Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother

D. the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter

42. The old lady felt ______ when she saw the fourth envelope in her daughter’s writing.

A. excited          B. disappointed      C. happy          D. impatient

43. The reason the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that______.

A. she was sure her daughter would come, not the check

B. she didn’t notice there were six figures on the check

C. she would prefer a present with love from her daughter

D. she didn’t think the check was large enough for a present

44. Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?

  A. The Present.   B. The Check.   C. The Birthday.    D. The Daughter.                   

Did you ever wonder why leaves change colors in autumn, or how it happens? Here’s a quick explanation.

First of all, you’ve probably noticed that not all trees lose their leaves. There are two major types of trees: deciduous trees and evergreens. Evergreens keep their leaves and stay green all year long. The deciduous trees are the ones that lose their leaves each year.

     In autumn, the days begin to get shorter. The sun is also lower in the sky at noon, which causes temperatures to be cooler. The combination of less sunshine and lower temperatures is what causes the deciduous trees to drop their leaves. In winter, deciduous trees “go to sleep”, sort of like a bear goes into hibernation.

Leaves are the food factories for a plant. Unlike animals,plants make their own food by taking energy directly from the sun. Plants do this by using a chemical in their leaves called chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is green. During the spring and summer the leaves of a deciduous tree look green because there is a lot of chlorophyll there. In autumn, however, the sunshine becomes more  scarce and the leaves on the trees stop making new chlorophyll. As the old chlorophyll starts to break down, the green color of the leaf begins to go away.

You’ve probably also noticed that the leaves of different kinds of trees change different colors. The leaves of some trees turn yellow or orange, while the leaves of other trees turn bright red or purple. The different colors are caused by the different chemical reactions that are happening in the leaves.

For example, the leaves of some trees turn yellow when the chlorophyll breaks down. When the green chlorophyll goes away, a yellow pigment in the leaf becomes visible. The yellow pigment, called cartenoid, was already there during the summer, but is was not easily seen because there was too much green chlorophyll.

In other trees where the leaves turn red or purple a different chemical reaction takes place. In those leaves the chlorophyll also breaks down, but another chemical reaction takes place at the same time. Chemicals in the leaves, called starches, begin to change into chemicals called anthocyanins, which give the leaves their red and purple colors.

So next time you see the beautiful colors of autumn you will also know the science behind that beauty.
