He walked 56 toward the window where I was seated.I tried not to intrude (侵犯) on his 57 , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to 58 knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied.“ 59 me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked.“I am old and she lives much too far away.I have 60 ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.'' May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile.“That is a wish that has been handed down from other 61 .My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he 62 even more.“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then 63 toward me, he shared the following 64 he were reciting it from memory.
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude 65 .I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the 66 joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your 67 .I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you 68 .I wish enough “Hello”s to get you 69 the final “Good-bye.” He then began to sob (哽咽) and walked away.

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half- hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less – often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A. Many children’s books have been adapted from films.
B. Many high-quality children’s books have been published.
C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D. The sales of presents for children have increased.
Statistics suggested that ___.
A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers.
B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading.
C. a minority of primary school children read properly.
D. a large percentage of children read regularly.
What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A. An education of it will be made sometime this year.
B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
Reading for fun is important because book-loving children ____.
A. takes greater advantage of the project.
B. shows the potential to enjoy a long life.
C. is likely to succeed in their education.
D. would make excellent future researchers.
The aim of this text would probably be ____.
A. to overcome primary school pupils’ reading difficulty.
B. to encourage the publication of more children’s books.
C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun.
D. to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading.

An Earthship is a home that is built of materials such as old tires and aluminum cans. It is the idea of a man named Michael Reynolds. Many Earthships are more or less self-sufficient because they provide their own heat, air and water. They often have gardens watered and fed by waste water. They are comfortable and ecologically friendly.
The main material used in building Earthships is tires. Tires are plentiful and
can't be recycled like paper, plastic, and metal. While building supplies for most houses can be very expensive, old used tires are free.
First, the tires are packed tightly with dirt. Each full tire weighs as much as
400 pounds. The tires are then stacked like bricks. The walls are extremely strong. They also help keep an even temperature in the house (between 60 and 70 degrees) without heating and cooling systems.?
The walls inside the Earthship are made of aluminum cans that are held together by cement. Then they are coated with adobe or stucco.?
The roofs of Earthships are sloped so that rain and snow run into large tanks. These tanks hold all the water for the house, and pumps push the water through the pipes. Sometimes, water flows in certain areas of the house as waterfalls! Water that has been used is pumped out into the gardens where owners grow much of their own food.?
In most of these houses, the southern side has huge windows that take in winter sunlight as a source of heat. Summer sun does not come in through the south windows, so it doesn't get too hot in the summer. The house also has solar panels that gather energy for lights and hot water and cooking. The Earthships have all the comforts of a regular house without the high cost of electric bills!?
In a time when we are running out of energy resources, pollution is bad, and waste is piling up, Earthships are the best places to live in. For people who truly care about the environment,Earthships provide a great alternative to traditional houses. You won't be giving up any comforts, and the styles are attractive. We all hope that more and more people will build Earthships and take a huge step toward helping the environment and saving our planet.?
What is the main idea of this passage??
A. Earthships are a good way to live and protect the environment.?
B. Tanks hold water collected from rain and snow.?
C. It's important to grow your own food in a vegetable garden.?
D. People who live in Earthships usually live in the desert.?
Which of the following is NOT explained in the passage??
A. How an Earthship is built.?
B. What an Earthship is mainly made of.?
C. Why the Earthship is so called.?
D. How an Earthship is heated in winter.?
Which evidence best supports the idea that Earthships are environmentally friendly??
A. They were invented by Michael Reynolds.?
B. Water that has been used is pumped out into the garden.?
C. They are comfortable and ecologically friendly.?
D. The tires are packed tightly with dirt.?
It can be inferred from the passage that ________.?
A. a large population are already living in Earthships?
B. the idea of Earthships will attract the attention of governments?
C. the materials for the Earthships will be harmful to the dwellers(居住者)?
D.the northern side of the Earthship has no window?
