12．What the Queen keeps inside it has long remained a mystery．Now a new book claims to cast light on the contents of the royal matriarch's main possession．
What's in The Queen's Handbag：And Other Royal Secrets reveals that though the 81-year-old British monarch（君主）doesn't carry cash，keys or passport-since she doesn't own one-her bag is far from empty．Inside are a collection of little presents from her children，a make-up case，some family photos，and a camera sometimes．There's also an s-shaped metal hook that she places on the dinner table's edge to hang her bag from so that it doesn't touch the floor．
Should you ever meet the Queen，it's not what's in her bag but what she does with it that should concern you．She uses her bags，of which she has about 200 made by London-based firm Launier，to send signals to her staff．
Before dining with Queen，a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top．
On walkabouts，she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on，at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation，allowing her to slip away without causing offence．
When at a banquet，if the Queen's bag is placed on the floor then it's a sign that she's not finding the conversation interesting，and wants nothing more than to escape．However，if the royal bag is dangling（懸掛） happily from the crook of her left arm，she is happy and relaxed．

11．My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year．Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month．We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits．Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home．It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves．
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave．We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules．He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue．The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving．
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone．I came up to Hercules and said hello happily．I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made．Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside．I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service．After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．I ran out and did the only thing-calling my wife．
Then I went to neighbors for help．My wife arrived after ten minutes．The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen （圈）．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital．
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital．The nurses quickly moved me to a room．I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"

Dear Mr．Smith，

9．We don't know how different our future will be in the future．We can only try to imagine it．
At first we think about human relationship．In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day．We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way．It will be much faster and easier for us．On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely．
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050．For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier．In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us．
Spending holidays will also be completely different．Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone．Means of transport will，of course，change，too．We will be using solar-powered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly．
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment．But it isn't true．We will pay more attention to protecting the environment．And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS．Therefore，our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition．
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them．We worry about our and our children's future； we have expectations，hopes as well as fears．But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future．We should be happy and believe good things will happen．

21．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050？B
A．Because the number of people will become much smaller．
B．Because there will be less face-to-face communication．
C．Because people won't like making friends with each other．
D．Because people won't communicate with each other much often．
22．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050？C
A．The relationship between people will be more important than today．
B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today．
C．It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets．
D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growning number of cars．
23．What does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．How people will communicate in the year 2050
B．What our life will be like in the year 2050
C．How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050
D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050．

（附學(xué)生會(huì)的倡議書(shū)）
Dear Friends，
Spring is in the air on campus．Everything has come back to life．What should we do to add color to the surroundings？What is in your mind to change our dull school life？We are waiting for your suggestions．
                                           The Students'Union．

7．On any collecting trip，obtaining the animals is，as a rule，the simplest part of the job．As soon as the local people discover that you are willing to buy live wild creatures，the stuff comes （32）pouring （pour） in； ninety percent is，of course，the more common types，but they do bring （33）anoccasional rarity．If you want the really rare stuff，you generally have to go out and find it yourself．
The chief difficulty you have when you have got a newly （34）caught （catch） animal is not so much the shock it might be suffering，but the fact （35）thatbeing caught forces it to exist close to a creature it regards as an enemy of the （36）worst （bad） possible sort：yourself．On many occasions an animal may take beautifully to being in a cage but （37）getting （get） used to the idea of living with people is another matter．This is the difficulty you （38）canonly deal with by patience and kindness．For month after month an animal may try to bite you every time you approach its cage，（39）untilyou despair of ever making a favorable impression on it．Then，one day，sometimes without any preliminary warning，it will trot forward and take food from your hand，or allow you to tickle it behind the ears．（40）At such moments you feel that all the waiting in the world was worthwhile．

6．Beware first-class travelers!Passengers sitting in the rear of a plane have the best chance of survival in an event of a crash，an extraordinary and costly aviation（航空，飛行）experiment ever （33）conducted （conduct） has revealed．
In a unique aviation experiment recently，the 170-seat-Boeing 727was made（34）to crash （crash） in a controlled manner in a remote part of Mexico's Sonoran Desert．After pilot James Slocum jumped out of the plane at 2，500ft，the jet（35）was guided  （guide） into the ground by a pilot in a following Cessna via a remote-control device，the reporters reported．On board of the jet were three advanced crash-test dummies（假人）designedto move （36）like humans．
They were arranged in three positions：one in the classic brace and wearing a seat-belt； one belted but not in the brace position； and one（37）neither belted nor in the brace．After the jet hit the ground nose-first，experts found that the dummy in the brace position would have survived the impact，（38）the one not in the brace would have suffered serious head injuries，and the dummy not wearing a seat-belt would have"died"．
Using this，experts predicted that 78percent of passengers on board would have survived the impact，（39）but all the first-class travelers would have died because the front of the fuselage（機(jī)身）broke apart when the plane comes down nose first．Those sitting at the back would have had the（40）best （good） chance of survival．

Before the 1850's，the United States had a number of small colleges，most of them dating from colonial days．They were small，church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students．
Throughout Europe，institutions of higher learning had developed，bearing the ancient name of university．The German university was concerned（41）F with creating and spreading knowledge，not morals．Between mid-century and the end of the 1800's，more than nine thousand young Americans，dissatisfied with their training at home，went to Germany for advanced study．Some of them return to become presidents of colleges of high （42）H--Harvard，Yale，Columbia--and （43）E them into modern universities．The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty．Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject，not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for （44）G students．The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on，and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars．Drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing，in which the professor's own research was presented in class．Graduate training leading to the Ph．D．，an ancient German degree （45）C the highest level of advanced scholarly achievement，was introduced．With the（46）Jof the seminar system，graduate student learned to question，（47）A，and conduct their own research．
At the same time，the new university greatly expanded in size and course offerings，breaking completely out of the old，（48）D curriculum（課程） of mathematics，classics，rhetoric，and music．The president of Harvard （49）I the elective system，by which students were able to choose their own course of study．The notion of major fields of study emerged．The new goal was to make the university （50）B to the real pursuits of the world．Paying close attention to the practical needs of society，the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks．Students were also trained as economists，architects，agriculturalists，social welfare workers，and teachers．

4．Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father．However，he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and （46）C，but rather when he became older and had illness．
My father was once a strong man who loved being active，but a terrible disease took all that away．Now he can no longer walk，and he must sit quietly in a chair all day．Even talking is（47）B．One night，I went to visit him．with my sisters．We started talking about life，and I told them about one of my（48）A．I said that we must very often give things up as we grow-our youth，our beauty，and our friends-but it always seems that after we give something up，we （49）D something new in its place．Then suddenly my father spoke up．He said，"But，Peter，I gave up everything!What did I get？"I thought and thought，but I couldn't think of anything to say．（50）B，he answered his own question："I won the love of my family，"I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes，along with hope and thankfulness．
I was also （51）Aby his words．After that，when I began to feel irritated （憤怒的）at someone，I would remember his words and become （52）B．If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others，then I should be able to give up my small irritations．（53）D，I learned the power of acceptance from my father．
Sometimes I （54）Awhat other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy．For now，though，I am grateful for this one（55）C．

One day，my mother was sewing（縫） a quilt（棉被）．I silently sat down beside her and asked her a question in a very low（36）A，"Mon，is there love between you and Dad？"
My mother stopped her work and raised her（37）A with surprise in her eyes．She didn't answer directly，but I heard my mother say the（38）B words：
"Susan，"she said thoughtfully，"look at this（39）B．Sometimes it appears，but most of it （40）C in the quilt．The thread （線） really makes the quilt strong and durable（耐用的）．If life is a quilt，then love should be a thread．It can （41）D be seen anywhere or anytime，but it's（42）D there．"
I listened carefully but I couldn't （43）C her until the next spring．At that time，my father suddenly got sick seriously．The doctor had said my father would （44）C in two months．But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself．Every day in the morning and dusk，my mother（45）B my father walk slowly on the country road．
"Dad，how are you feeling now？"I asked him one day．
"Susan，don't worry about me．"He said gently．"To tell you the truth，I just like （46）D with your mom．I like this kind of life．"Reading his eyes，I knew he loved my mother deeply．
Once I thought love meant（47）A，gifts and sweet kisses．But from this experience，I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life．Love is inside，making life strong and warm．
