19．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包裝）．
On September 11th，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying，"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honour!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year，"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say，"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God!"I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!

18．I still clearly remember that day．I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep．I put signs in the windows that said，"Need a jack（千斤頂）．"
As I was about to give up，a truck stopped and a man got off．He looked at the situation，made a judgment and went back to take a jack．After about two hours，we finished the job with sweats．We were both dirty．His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands．
I tried to put 20in the man's hand，but he wouldn't take it，so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could．I asked their little girl where they lived，thinking maybe I'd send them a gift．She said they lived in Mexico．They were in Oregon now，so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks．After that，they were going to pick peaches and then go back home．
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep，the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale（玉米粉蒸肉）for lunch．I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep．When I opened the tamale，what did I find inside？My 20!I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window．He started shaking his head，smiled，and with what looked like great concentration said in English，"Today you，tomorrow me．"Then he drove away，with his daughter waving to me from the back．
This family，working on a seasonal basis where time is money，took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly．
Since then I've helped many people like the Mexican family．I didn't accept their money．Every time I was able to help，I felt as if I was putting something in the bank．

English is an international language which becomes more and more importantly in the world．
In China，English is thought to be the first foreign language which many students  choose to learn．They begin to learn English at early age．It takes them at least one hour to learn the knowledge of English a day，Even the child in the kindergarten have begun learning simple words，it is a normal phenomenon．In addition to，some people think English is superior than Chinese．
In my opinion，though English is of great significant，English is a foreign language．It is hard for us to use it every day．English does help us in reading English original  works，but Chinese can help us learn a true China．Only with the help of Chinese  characters，can Chinese literature shows its brilliance．In order to learn a country's  culture，especial its classical culture，the first thing to do is to learn its language．

16．The financial crisis will be the top issue at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos，Switzerland．The five-day meeting starts on Wednesday，January 28．More than two thousand five hundred people from ninety-six countries will discuss ways to solve the crisis．
The event gathers some of the world's most powerful political and business leaders at a small ski village in the Swiss Alps．Organizers this week announced a program built around the theme："Shaping the Post-Crisis World．"
But with the world still in crisis，there was news that no famous people from show business will be at the forum this year．Bona，te social activist and lead singer of the Irish rock group U2，usually attends．But he will not be attending this year．
Organizers expect a record forty-one heads of state or government．They include Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao，Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the prime minister of Kenya，Raila Odinga．
Among those expected from President Obama's new administration is Lawrence Summers，the director of the National Economic Council．Another is Mister Obama's national security adviser，retired general James Jones．
Members of the US Congress are also among the guest list，along with former president Clinten，a favorite at Davos．About sixty percent of those attending are business leaders．
The World Economic Forum will also discuss global warming，investment in low-carbon forms of energy in developing countries and other issues．

14．Every electronic gadget （小玩意） needs good memory．A music player stores songs，albums and playlists．A computer holds schoolwork and programs and remembers how far a player has advanced in his or her favorite game．Mobile phones store names，numbers and hundreds of texts．
Now，scientists in California say they have come up with a way to turn a living cell into a memory device．
It can store only one tiny bit of information，but it's a start．In the future，a cell-based gadget might travel through the body and record measurements．The benefit to human health could be big：the right tool，for example，might record the earliest signs of disease．
Doctors，scientists and other curious people want to know what is happening inside the body，even at levels that can't be seen by the naked eye．So far，there is no device small enough to travel through the bloodstream．
If normal machines won't do the trick，perhaps biology will．Scientists who work in the field of synthetic （合成的） biology are trying to find ways to turn living things into human tools．In the case of the new memory device，bioengineers from Stanford University used the genetic material inside living cells to record information．
This genetic material consists of DNA．Found in nearly every cell，DNA carries all of the information that keeps a living thing alive．
In the new experiment，the researchers turned DNA from bacteria（細(xì)菌） into a switch．They"flip （翻轉(zhuǎn)）"a small section of DNA．Then，using the same procedure （過程），the scientists flip the section again-returning it into its normal structure．
Using these DNA switches，"We can write and erase DNA in a living cell，"bioengineer，Jerome Bonnet，explained to Science News．
It might take years before his team or others identity whether a DNA-based memory device might be practical．Right now，it takes one hour to complete a flip．That is far too long to be useful．Plus，a flipped section has a very small little memory-less than what a computer uses to remember a single letter．
"This was an important proof that it was doable，"Bonnet told Science News．"Now we want to build a more complex system，something that other people can use．"
67．What is the aim of listing the electronic things in the first paragraph？D
A．To make the passage more fashionable．
B．To show how electronic things have memory．
C．To discuss things in detail．
D．To make the subject of the text more understandable．
68．What is possible future benefit of the cell-based gadget for people？A   A．To detect disease at the earliest point．
B．To help improve the memory．
C．To help people build a body．
D．To replace many electronic gadgets．
69．What is the object being researched？B
A．The cells of bacteria．
B．The DNA of bacteria．
C．A section of bacteria．
D．The nucleus of bacteria．
70．What do we know about a flipped section of DNA？A
A．It has a very small memory．
B．It can function as a computer．
C．It has one letter in it．
D．It takes a day to complete it．

13．It is winter in many parts of the world．For some areas，that means snow．Maybe even lots of snow．If you don't have to drive in it or remove it，snow can be very beautiful．When snow covers everything around you，the world looks like a"winter wonderland"．That is the name of a very popular song about winter．Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934．There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song．
But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time．It's cold outside．You try hard to keep warm．The days are darker and shorter．The sun rarely shines．The leaves on the trees are brown．It isn't surprising that some people are sad in winter．And some people dream about being somewhere else where it's warm and pretty-like the state of California．The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song"California Dreaming"．
    During the 1960s，many other famous rock groups released songs about winter．Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called"A Hazy Shade of Winter"．They sing about life and hope and possibilities．
In 1968，the group Blood，Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle，sad song about winter．They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in"Sometimes in Winter"．
In the early 1990s，Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called"Winter"．She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child．
    Finally，on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003．They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town．Nothing unusual there．But instead of being sad or tense about the snow，they write a song about it．
51．When is snow beautiful？B
