I firmly believe that everyone in the world loves their mother. So am I. My mother is a ordinary teacher. She always works hard, just as other mothers do every day. In fact, she isn’t good health. She had been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)for many years. Despite of this, she never stops working or giving up hope. I still remember the day when my mother accepted a card of congratulations for Teachers’ Day from her director. The card was read “thank you for your hard works; Happy Teacher’s Day to you!” At that moment, I was so moving that tears came to my eyes. I am proud for my mother.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.  1  Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.  2  She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.

 3  Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 4  She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.

Often she says to us, “Work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is!   5  This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

A. She enjoys listening to classic music.

B. She loves her students and cares for them.

     The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7.30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.

By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.

Their experience suggests that the words an the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.

But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6.30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6.30, she likes to be them, if not on lime, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're  young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.

The accepted custom at present is confusing (混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.

              A. tired            B. crazy                C. curious                D. hopeless

70. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered_______.

    A. very difficult         B. particularly thoughtful

              C. friendly and polite                     D. socially unacceptable

71. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.

              A. are likely to arrive late for a party

             B. care little about the party time

             C. haven' t really grown up yet

             D. like surprises at parties

72. What is the general idea of the text?     

             A. It' s safe to arrive late just when food is served.

             B. It' s wise to eat something before going to a party.

             C. It' s important to follow social rules of party-going.

             D. It' s necessary to read invitations carefully.

Don't ______ to spring-clean the whole house just because my mother is coming---there's no need to do that.
