7．My aunt Edith was a widow （寡妇）of 50，working as a secretary，when doctors discovered she had got what was then thought to be a very serious heart illness．?
Aunt Edith didn't accept defeat easily．She began studying medical reports in library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor，Dr．Michael Debakey，of Houston，Texas．He had saved the life of someone with the same illness．The article said Dr Debakey's fees were very high；Aunt Edith couldn't possibly pay them．But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay？?
So Aunt Edith wrote to him．She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live：her three children，who would be on their own in three or four years and among them a little girl who always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world．There wasn't a word of self-pity-only warmth and humor and the joy of living．She mailed the letter，not really expecting an answer．
A few days later，my doorbell rang．Aunt Edith didn't wait to come in；she stood in the hall and read aloud：?
Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply．If you can come to Houston，there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation．?
Signed：Michael Debakey?
That was seven years ago．Since then，Aunt Edith has been around the world．Her three children are happily married．For her age，she is one of the youngest，most alive people I know．
10．"Aunt Edith didn't accept defeat easily"means thatC．
A．she was very beautiful
B．she was very strong
C．she was very brave

A．she had no time to visit him

C．she didn't believe in him
D．she wanted to get some help from him
12．In fact，Aunt Edith's letter to Dr．Debakey was full ofA．
A．courage
B．illness
C．pity
D．sadness
13．After reading Dr．Debakey's letter，Aunt Edith feltD．

14．Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started．Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country．In fact，according to an official report on youth violence，"In our country today，the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence"．Given that this is the case，why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive cars，or stay physically fit？
First of all，students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable．A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult （侮辱）．For example，a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime．Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults，which in turn can lead to violence．The problem isn't in the sandwich，but in the way students deal with the conflict．
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable，they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution （解决）：stay calm．Once the student feels calmer，he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well．Rude words，namecalling，and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire．On the other hand，soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control．
After both sides have calmed down，they can use another key strategy （策略） for conflict resolution：listening．Listening allows the two sides to understand each other．One person should describe his or her side，and the other person should listen without interrupting．Afterward，the listener can ask nonthreatening questions to clarify the speaker's position．Then the two people should change roles．
Finally，students need to consider what they are bearing．This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person．It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish．For example，a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things．Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：How did this start？What do I really want？What am I afraid of？As the issue becomes clearer，the conflict often simply becomes smaller．Even if it doesn't，careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual（彼此共同的） solution．
There will always be conflict in schools，but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence．After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program，according to Educators for Social Responsibility，"64percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom； 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92percent of the students felt better about themselves"．Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends，teachers，parents，bosses，and coworkers．In that way，conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country．

4．You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life．But in fact，almost everyone can invent．It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention．Once inventous see their ideas have some practical value，they don't let them slip away．For example，the inventor of the dishwasher，American Josephine Cochrane，loved to give dinner parties．But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and to many of them broke．She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes．So，in 1886，she set out to make one for herself．
Like Cochrane's，most inventions are created to solve a problem．So the first and most important step is to find the problem．You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now．You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember every saying："I wish someone would invent something for …"Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street，or at school．Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement．Remember to record your ideas and work．This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed．The next step is to think about possible solutions．An invention is a new way of solving a problem．So think of many，varied，and unusual ways．You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle or thinking about it in a new way．
Example 1-instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground，think of using something to protect the ground from your feet．
Example 2-instead of thinking about how you can carry orange home from a store，think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own．
Example 3-instead of experimenting with only one solution，can you put two or three solutios together，or arrange them in different orders？
And if one solution doesn't work，can it be put to other uses？That was how yellow post-it note（N次贴）came about-a"failed"adhesive（粘合剂）experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too!
After all，most inventions are not brand new．They do not come out of nowhere，but come out of things or ideas that already exist．And the hardest part of inventing，even for a lot of inventors，is coming up with a problem and finding a solution．Once you have an idea，you can always get help building your invention．
This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday life．So，why not try it in your studies，in your relationship with others，or even in the way you look at the world？
29．The main idea or this story is thatB．
A．you can learn some problem-solving technique from others
B．you must know how to improve the world around you
C．you can invent and how you will be able to do so
D．you must try to find out how to invent things
30．What makes inventors different from other people is thatB．
A．they consider every new idea as an outstanding invention
B．they are full of creative ideas and try to put them into reality
C．they enjoy solving problems even if these problems are too difficult
D．they look for problems and try to solve them in a new and better way
31．The underlined word"it"in the second paragraph can be replaced byA．
A．the problem
B．the way
C．the solution
D．the invention
32．Which of the following is one of the ways to find a problem？C
A．Finding out things that people are not satisfied with．
B．Trying to find problems while doing experiments．
C．Looking at the world from a different angle．
D．Never letting a practical idea slip away．

11．Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy．It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick，the aged，and children who have lost their parents，but also friends，workmates，relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed．
Over 60years ago，when a Cleveland man noticed that some people，such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed，too often felt forgotten and neglected，he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered．He did this by giving them small gifts．With the help of his friends and neighbors，he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October．During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration，which came to be called"Sweetest Day"．Over time，the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor，the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone，and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift．Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA．
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious（宗教的） beliefs or on a family relationship．It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning．Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving，Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care，in a positive（积极的） way．
24．What can we learn from the first paragraph？A
A．Sweetest day is a day to make others happy
B．Sweetest day is just an occasion to care about disabled people

8．Please take me to adistant（远处的）land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater．

12．Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants．Many people call this plant a tree，but it is a kind of grass．
Like other kinds of grass，a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground，but it will grow back very quickly．A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5meters in 24hours!Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe．There are more than 1，000kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains（平原）．
Not all bamboo looks the same．Some bamboo plants are very thin．They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30centimeters across． This plant also comes in different colors，from yellow to black to green．
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years．They often use bamboo for building new buildings．As a matter of fact，the cables（绳索） that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo．The bridge has been in use for more than 1，000years，and is still holding strong．
In Africa，engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo．These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water．It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use．Bamboo pipes and drills（钻） can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered．
