A

My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times. I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby.

Finally, my son was born.

The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.

I stood up, holding my breath. She showed me my baby. “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah. ”

But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.

People ask me, “What did I feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss（狂喜）is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.

After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.

“Dad,” I whispered.

“My son,” my heart heard him saying.

Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.

“My son,” I imagined him saying.

“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.

At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.

36. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. His son called him “Dad” when the writer called him “My son”.

B. All the people didn’t hear the baby say except the writer.

C. Sanchez is the writer’s family name.

D. The baby was taken away because the nurse found there was a mistake.

37. The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ____.

A. he was a writer                                    B. he was too excited

C. he was too nervous                              D. it’s a feeling too complex to express

38. We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ____.

A. the author got his first baby

B. he probably had a lung disease

C. the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby

D. the baby would change the author’s life

39. Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?

A. Because his son is so gifted.

B. Because he had much experience in bringing up children.

C. Because his father promised to help him.

D. Because his father had already set him a good example.

E

Growing up across the street from each other in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. “Do you think I’ve somehow offended（冒犯）her?” Fry asked her husband.

Turner, meanwhile, had convinced（使信服）herself she was no longer important to Fry.  “She’s got a family now,” she told herself. “We’re just too different to be close like before. ”

Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both accepted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing confidences.

“Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry says. “We both realized we were as important to each other as ever. ”

There are good reasons to treasure our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. “It is a heritage we should protect. ”

Ironically（具有諷刺意味）says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. “the better friends you are, the more likely you’ll face conflicts. ” And the outcome can be exactly what you don’t want--- an end to the friendship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.

52. The passage is mainly about ____.

A. a broken friendship B. treasuring friendship

C. what is good friendship                         D. how to make friendship last long

53. The underlined word “awkward” in Paragraph 3 probably means____.

A. embarrassing        B. exciting                C. convenient            D. relaxed

54. According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner believed their friendship wouldn’t last forever.

B. Turner didn’t reply to Fry’s letters because she was too busy.

C. People all think friends are far more important than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

D. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner misunderstood each other at first.

55. What do you think the author will talk about next?

A. Suggestions on how to mend the troubled friendships.

B. Some more examples of good friends.

C. Functions of Friendship.

D. How to cherish friendship.
