3．A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children's books to five different libraries in the county was released from prison after a book publisher agreed to post his bond （保释金） of $1，000．The publisher said，"There's a story here．This is a man who loves books．He just can't let go of them．He hasn't stolen a single book．So what's the crime？We think that Mr．Barush has a story to tell．We plan to publish his story．"
    When asked why he didn't return the books，Mr．Barush said，"Well，how could I？They became family to me．I was afraid to return them，because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up，throw them around，tear the pages，spill soda on them，get jam and jelly on them，and drown them in the toilet．"
    He continued，"Books are people，too!They talk to you，they take care of you，and they enrich you with wisdom，humor and love．A book is a guest in my home．How could I kick it out？I repaired torn pages．I cleaned them with a soft clean cloth．I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air．"
"Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends．My books were happy books．You could tell just by looking at them．Now they're all back in the library，on the lower shelves，on the floors，at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids．I can hear them calling me!I need to rescue them．Excuse me．I have to go now．"

20．The Man Who Never Puts a Foot Wrong
Some people do not like anything to be out of place．They are never late for work； they return their books to the library on time； they remember people's birthdays； they pay their bills as soon as they arrive．Mr．Dodds is such a person．
Mr．Dodds works in a bank，and lives on his own．The only family he has is in the next town：his sister lives there with her husband，and her son，Mark．Mr．Dodds does not visit his sister，or her family，from one year to the next，but he sends them Christmas cards，and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays．
Last week Mr．Dodds had quite a surprise．He drove home from the bank at the usual time，driving neither too slowly nor too fast．He parked his car where he always parked it，out of the way of other cars，and he went inside to make his evening meal．Straight away，there was a knock at the door．Mr．Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing on the doorstep．
"What have I done wrong？"Mr．Dodds asked himself．"Have I driven on the wrong side of the road？Has there been some trouble at the bank？Have I forgotten to pay an important bill？""Hello，uncle，"said the policeman，"my name is Mark．"

19．A Frenchman went to a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there．One night，he went out for a walk alone．It was late and the small street was dark and quiet．Suddenly he felt someone behind him．He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him．The Italian was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone．He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch．He decided to follow him and get back the watch．
   Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian．Neither of them understood the other's language．The Frenchman frightened the Italian with his fist （拳头） and pointed at the Italian's watch．In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman．
   When he returned to the hotel，the Frenchman told his wife what had happened．He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table．Now he realized that by mistake he had robbed the watch and it was the Italian's．

18．There is an old Chinese proverb that states"One Generation plants the trees； another gets the shade，"and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters．The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing．If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship．However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship．These characteristics include a hierarchy （等级） of responsibility and unconditional love，which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends．
    Marina，27 years old，says，"I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn't consider her my best friend．Best friends don't pay for your wedding．Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life!Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you．"This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying．
While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding．This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship．Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers，responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions．Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology，which may bring them even closer together．
    Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking．The mother and child relationship is closer than any other．There is not an equal relationship．Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being．It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers．It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well being．
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other．Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness．Mother always"trumps"friend．
36．The underlined word"preclude"in Paragraph 1 probably means"B"．
A．differ      B．prevent      C．benefit      D．change
37．Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship？A
A．Because they have a lot in common．
B．Because they have common family values．
C．Because they have no generation gap．
D．Because they keep a constant relationship．
38．What do we know from the passage？C
A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend．
B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship．
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends'friendship．
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother．
39．The author proves his statements mainly byB．

17．Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets，John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery，human nature，and philosophy．Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education，his own studies and passion brought him much success．Additionally，his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly．
    Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower，middle-class family，the young John didn't attend a private school，but went to a public one．His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies．After his father's death in the early 1800s，followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺结核），he began viewing life differently．He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on．
    At around the age of 16，the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor．However，his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy，especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser．He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816，entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell．Within two months in 1817，Keats had written an entire volume of poetry，but was sharply criticized by a magazine．However，the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm （韵律）．
    John Keats'next work was Endymion，which was published in May 1818．The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human．Following Engymion，however，he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella．During this time，John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences．He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems．His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned．However，a bout （发作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．
31．John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB．

16．I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2008 after not being happy with my current job and financial status．I obtained my Associate's Degree in May 2002 in Commercial Arts．After graduation，I had trouble obtaining a job in that field．For years，I was going from one job to another feeling unfilled，and I was not satisfied with the instability．
    I decided to go back to school for either International Business or Psychology．I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and Psychology won．I like helping my friends and family，when they go through hard situations in their life by giving them sound advice and being honest with them．Also，I was interested in"the mind"．
    I was searching for online schools because my work schedule at my current job would not allow me to attend a regular class．I was nervous about starting online classes because I heard mixed stories from other friends who were taking online classes．I decided to do it anyway to experience something different．I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and reputable．Through my search，I discovered Walden University，which is specially for working adults who want to obtain a bachelor's degree or higher．The process of getting accepted was easy，which included writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school，transferring my previous credits，etc．
    I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for psychology，and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans and grants．This experience has been interesting yet trying as sometimes it was difficult to balance work，school and home life．I learned a lot about psychology and myself．For example，I like writing about current events，relationships and traveling．I thought my English composition was ordinary，but after taking a few classes at Walden University，I improved my English composition and it made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally so I became a freelance （自由撰稿） writer．Currently，I am only three classes away from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology!It was one of the best decisions I made in my life．

15．Last year，around Labor Day，I read a"Happy Ad"in our local newspaper．There was a lady in a local nursing home，who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it．It said that if you wanted to drop her a line，here was her address．So I did．I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note，wishing her a happy birthday．
