When I was eight years old, my family moved from Edinburgh to London because Father
started a new job there. It was hundreds of miles away from my grandmother, so we sometimes
spent hours _ 26 to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly.
Granny never had much. She didn’t have 27 things, or live in a nice house, but I could feel
with my 28 that she loved us deeply, especially when my world was turned upside down
29 my mother and father divorced(离婚) two years later.
I still remember those little things. Granny allowed me to sit on top of her 30 table, getting
me to dip(蘸) my fingers in the sugar bowl or 31 from her coffee cup. Granny had a fancy
bottle high on a shelf. One day after her death, I received a box. To my surprise, I found the 32
inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it.
Granny 33 her pennies in a glass jar. She could have used those pennies herself but she kept
__34 for my brother Tommie and me. And I was always excited to 35 the pennies between
my brother and me. “One for you, one for me,” I would repeat 36 the jar was empty. I don’t
remember how much we got on our visits, but I know that’s 37 she loved us and cared about
us when we were far away from her. So if I am 38 enough to find a penny lying on the
ground one day, I am sure it is just the one from Granny in heaven.
Those childhood memories have never 39 me. Instead, they still give me warm feelings
through the years. A granny’s 40 stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know,
love is just like that.

The Invention Blog: a place for people to Share Opinions Today’s question is: What do you think is the most useful invention of all time?
By George on Saturday, June 7 The most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do
business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City and I also have a website. Now, people from
all over the world can buy my clothing on my website. I can send e-mails to my friends and family
in Mexico and around the world it’s faster than the usual mail and cheaper than the phone.
By Wang Lin on Sunday, June 8
George, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention’ that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but people
like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. Without electricity, many of the
world’s most important inventions would not work.
By Wendy Liu on Monday, June 9
There are many—the train, the car, and the airplane are useful machines, but these are not my
choices. For an everyday useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Hong Kong, and during summer the temperature can be 35℃or more. Without an air conditioner, people here cannot
work or study. A lot of people might also get sick without cool air.
41. George says that the Internet helps him to _______.
A. play computer games with friends
B. keep in touch with his family and friends
C. make phone calls easily
D. buy clothing from around the world
42. Why does Wang Lin think electricity is the most useful?

C. she often gets sick
D. she studies very hard

Last weekend after a quick lunch at a snack bar, I still had some extra time before going through
security(安检) to catch my flight to Los Angeles, not knowing what to do. I then decided it was
the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.
Outside security there was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that I’d like to buy flowers for
sometime else, and she could decide who to give them to. She looked a little confused, so I
suggested perhaps she should give them to someone who looked a little sad.
That was because he or she might need some cheering up.
At first, the girl answered. “That’s crazy” But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing
something kind for a stranger, and she understood
“I’ll never know how it turns out,” I said, “but you will have the chance to make someone’s good
day,” At that time, she started to seem excited about it.
She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained. “It’s fine to
leave them in there until the person who you want to give them to comes.”
At that point, I think she was between surprised and happy. Because it might be her first time to
meet a customer like me. I paid for the flowers, and goodbye, and joined in the security line.
What a nice day I had!
44. Where was the writer last weekend?

【2014 湖州】C.
Born in Ghana, West Africa, in 1989, Freddy Adu has become one of the most promising young
soccer players in the world. Soccer fans have been crazy about him since 2003, when he became
the youngest player to join a professional sports team in the United States. The next year, he
became the youngest athlete ever to play in an all-star game, a match in which the best players
from many professional teams compete.
As a child, Adu did what many children in Ghana love to do— play soccer. His mother
recognized her son’s talent and encouraged it by providing soccer balls, which were expensive for
them. Since he had soccer balls, other children always came looking for him and played together.
Education was very important to Adu’s mother, and she wasn’t sure that her son could receive a
good education in Ghana. So she tried hard and moved to Maryland, U.S. In 1997, when he was
eight years old. His new school friends soon noticed his talent for soccer, and the parents of one
friend encouraged him to join a soccer club. This was his first time playing organized soccer, and
he helped his team from the Potomac Soccer Association win a tournament in Italy in 2000. One
professional Italian team was so impressed by Adu that they offered him $750.000 to play for
them. Adu’s mother refused the offer and thought that her eleven-year-old son needed to finish
school first.
Adu did finish high school at the age of 14. Nowadays, he is playing professional soccer and
living with his mother in a house he bought for her. His salary with the D.C. United team is
$500.000 a year, and Adu is also paid to advertise products such as sports shoes and drinks. Adu is
happy that his mother no longer has to work at two jobs, and his fans are happy that they can
watch him play their favorite sport for many years to come.

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent(聪明的) person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo(舒缓的节拍)
“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system(神经系统) and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study, “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally(情绪上) and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them. 52.
