It is so cold on that dark winter day in 1942. But it is no different from any other day in this Nazi concentration camp (纳粹集中营). I am 36 dead, living on from day to day, from hour to hour, 37 I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands of other Jews (犹太人). Will I still be 38 tomorrow?
I walk back and forth (来回) next to the barbed wire fence (带刺的铁丝网), trying to keep my body 39 . I am hungry. I have been hungry for long. Each day, as more of us disappear, the happy 40 seems like a dream, and I sink deeper and deeper into hopelessness.
Suddenly, I notice a young girl walking past 41 the other side of the fence. She stops and looks at me with sad eyes that seem to say she cannot understand why I am here. I want to look away, but I cannot move my eyes away from hers. Then she reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a red apple. Oh, how long has it been since I saw 42 ! She looks round carefully and then with a smile quickly throws the apple over the fence. I run to pick it up, holding it in my shaking (颤抖) 43 fingers. In my world of death this apple is a sign of life, of love. I looked up in time to see the girl disappearing.
The next day I cannot help myself－I am 44 at the same time to that place near the fence. And again she comes and brings me an apple. For seven months we meet like this. One day I hear terrible news: We’re being shipped to another camp.
The next day when I greet her, my heart is 45 and I can hardly speak as I say what must be said: “Don’t bring me an apple tomorrow.” I tell her, “I am being sent to another camp.” Turning before I lose all my control (控制), I run away from the fence. I cannot 46 to look back.

Worried about sports injuries (伤害)? The best way to do with sports injuries is to prevent them.
Sports injuries are injuries that happen while doing sports. You may think of your back or your arms and legs as the only places where you could get hurt while playing, but you can get a sports injury anywhere on your body. Head and neck injuries are among the most dangerous. You can hurt your neck in sports like mountain climbing, skydiving, horseback riding, diving, or boxing.
If the injury is serious and there is a chance that the neck might be injured, it’s very important to keep the injured person still with the head held straight while someone calls for emergency medical help (急救). If the person is lying on the ground, do not try to move him or her. Never try to move someone who may have a neck injury ? a wrong treatment could even result in death.
Always remember that an injury left untreated will probably get worse over time. Yet, it’s not always necessary to see a doctor right away if your pain is slight (轻微的).
The most important thing to do when you feel you are injured is to stop doing whatever sport has caused the injury right away and go to see a doctor. For more serious or complicated (复杂的) injuries, it may be best to see a doctor.
If your doctor has asked you to stop playing, your number-one question is probably “When can I play sports again?” Make sure you discuss this with your doctor.
Always wear helmets (头盔) for contact (接触) sports and when doing activities like biking and roller-skating to prevent head injuries.
When you return to play, you might need some new protective equipments (装备) that help protect your body part from possible reinjury.
To help prevent reinjury, be sure to warm up before practice and games. Remember to take it slow when you first get back into your sport.
So, play, but play safe. Try to learn from your experience and do the things that can help you keep away from getting hurt.
51. __________is a contact sport.
A. Volleyball B. Tennis
C. Basketball D. Golf
52. When a person falls off a horseback and can’t move, we should not __________.
A. take him to a safer place
B. leave him where he is
C. keep his head straight
D. call for emergency medical help
53. Before taking part in the relay race, we have to __________.
A. prepare useful equipments
B. stand there waiting
C. make sure we have no injury
D. get ourselves ready
54. From the passage we learn that ___________.
A. we should go to see a doctor right away when we feel injured
B. we can return to sports as soon as we get medical treatment
C. stopping whatever sport has caused injuries is necessary
D. using protective equipments keeps you away from injuries
（C）
I read yesterday (yes, on a blog) that there are now blogging competitions!! I can’t believe it. A man in England won $2,000 for writing the best blog. There’s even a list of the best Chinese bloggers! I’ve read a few of them- before they were famous, I might add. I suppose that one blog can be better than another. It can be better written, more interesting, funnier, and I suppose that blogs are there to be read and judged (点评) by other people. If they’re not good, they’re not read. And they’re not just personal feelings. If they were, they’d be called diaries. Have locks, and be hidden under beds. So I’m OK with this whole competition thing. I just can’t believe I didn’t win!
This has got me thinking about why I’m writing this blog. I’m not doing it to win a competition (or I wasn’t when I started …) and I’m not doing it to show all my personal feelings ? I do that in my diary. So, why am I a blogger?
To tell the truth, the first time I heard the word blog I thought it was a new word for a toilet. But I love learning new words so I used my knowledge and found out that a blog was a personal website and the word blog came from the words web log. Now a log is a type of diary kept by sailors (水手), and web, well, we all know that it has nothing to do with catching flies and everything to do with the Internet. Web log… weblog… blog…. Being a writer I loved the idea of getting my views (观点)onto the Internet where anyone could read them, and no editors (编辑) could get their hands on them!
So my first reason for blogging: I’m a writer. I want people to read what I write (un-edited!). And I love writing about anything I choose. I can write about saving the environment or complain about how the people in front of me in the cinema always seem to have big heads. And sometimes I pour out my heart too.
My second reason is that it’s relaxing. I don’t have to do research and write an article. I can let my thoughts go on as long as I like.
Third reason? To keep in touch. I’m terrible on the phone and all my friends around the world read my blog (or they say they do …). Every now and then, I even upload a photo so they remember what I look like.
Is there a fourth reason? There probably is but now it’s time for dinner. Tomorrow I might even tell you what I ate.
55. The writer thinks a good blog is one that _____________.
A. can let his thought go freely
B. wins a blogging competition
C. helps people keep in touch
D. is read by large numbers of people
56. The writer loves writing blogs mainly because __________.
A. his writing about feeling can be shown anywhere
B. his writing would never be edited by others
C. he enjoys writing something about big events
D. he finds himself terrible on the phone
57. There’re __________reasons in the passage to explain why the writer is a blogger.
A. 2 B.
58. This passage is _________.
A. a blog about blogging B. a diary about blogging
C. a view on blogging D. a judgement on blogging

Dear Pingping,
How are you getting on these days? I don’t want to trouble you because I can imagine how busy you are! But I really need your help.
My friend Elena has a problem. She found she couldn’t read the numbers on the bus to school yesterday. We are going to have an eye test in school next week. She wants me to go first and tell her the letters on the chart. She doesn’t want to wear glasses. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.
I don’t want to lose a good friend! I might be ill on the day of the test!!
Love from
Sandra
PS
By the way. I’ve got a new email address: www.facebook.com
Dear Sandra,
Yours
Pingping
