When I was young, I really doubted whether there was love between my parents. Every day they were busy earning money so that they could 41 the high tuition my brother and I needed. They didn’t 42 in the romantic ways that I read in books or saw on TV.
One day, Mom was sewing a quilt（被子）. I 43 sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a 44 here,” I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 45 voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 46 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was 47 if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very 48 , “Susan, look at this 49 . Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If 50 is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. 51 is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.
One day, Dad accidentally got 52 while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer 53 properly. Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening（发光） 54 the sun shining upon them. All of these made up the most beautiful 55 in the world.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Looking into his eyes, I 56 what they meant.
The doctor had said Dad would 57 in two months. But that day never came. He 58 away in peace.
59 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 60 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, which makes life strong and warm…

D
In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide actd rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from excaping.
According to a weather expert's prediction,the atmosphere will be 3 warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn luels at the present rate. If this warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also，the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere(半球),psooicbly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food growing zones.
In the past,concern about a man - made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from on burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures showthat large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere,where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and cold spots(that is,the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates(旋转),every 27.5 days,it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth,and different aspects to different parts of the earth.This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation.The sun is also variable over a long term:its heat output goes up and down in cycles,the latest trend being downward.
Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years ,including the last Ice Age.The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not.
One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(不活动，惰性) of the earth's climate.If this is right,the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter balance to the sun's diminishing heat.
68.It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ___.
A.mean a warming - up im the Arctic
B.raise the temperature of the earth's surface
C.prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surface
D.account for great changes in the climate in the northern hemiphere
69.Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere,temperatures there seem to be falling.This is _______.
A.mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising
B.partly due to variations in the output of solar energy
C.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
D.exclusively due to the effect of the inertia of the earth's climate
70.On the basis of their models,scientists are of the opinion that ________.
A.the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
B.the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
C.the man - made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
D.it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect

When I was young,my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.
One evening in early April,my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar 36 a worker who had the flu.I told her I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before.I 38
that instead of making money,I would end up owing it.
“You can do it,”said my mother.“ 39 ,you won’t get much business until lunch.”
“But I’ll never remember the orders,and I’m no good ___40_ money.Please,Mom,don’t
41 me.”
“Then I’ll help you,”she said.
I shrugged my shoulders.I thought my mother’s 42 was a bad one,but I 43 .
When I got to the bar the next day,I found my mother was 44 .Because the weather that day was rainy and cold,people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 45 ,I was really slow at taking the orders and making change.The line of people grew,and everybody seemed 46 .I was so nervous that my hands shook,and I 47 a cup into pieces.What a mess!Then my mother came to 48 me,and she also showed me how to make 49 .If someone gave me $5 for something that cost $3.25,I handed over 50 quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars,plus one dollar makes five.”Things went more 51 after that.
By the end of the day,I could remember orders, 52 the bill,and make change quickly with a smile.I was even a little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business.My mother said she was proud of me,and when she 54 that I work at the snack bar again next year,I did not even shrug.I was too busy 55 the restaurant I would open one day.
