For my daughter’s 19th birthday in December, we bought her tickets to go and see “Link Park”, as they were playing in our city in the UK. We didn’t really have the money, but we knew how much they meant to her.

The night before the concert, she was like a kid at Christmas and couldn’t sleep. It was good to see her so happy and excited. She and her boyfriend went together.

When they returned after midnight happily with T-shirts, lots of video and pictures, they talked happily about how fantastic they had seen. We knew that the money had been well spent.

Still full of excitement from the night before, they decided on the following day to go to the shopping centre on the other side of the city. Later that day when they returned, they came and presented my husband and me with a gift each. On each present were the words “because you are the best mom/dad in the world”. When we asked her why she had bought us gifts, her answer was simply “just because I love you”.

She explained she just wanted to show us that she appreciated us. This wasn’t something new from our daughter; she had always given us a gift when she wanted to express her feelings, and each gift was always a welcome surprise. It could be anything that wasn’t very expensive, but it didn’t matter; it was the sentiment behind it that counted.

50. We infer that when returning from the night out, the writer’s daughter felt ______.

   A. terrible          B. excited         C. disappointed      D. interested

51. The daughter often expresses her feelings to her parents by ______.

   A. telling them directly         B. writing them a card

   C. giving them surprises        D. buying them presents

52. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. That the writer’s husband also likes “Link Park” very much

   B. That the writer’s mother doesn’t have a job

   C. That the people in the writer’s family live a happy life together

   D. That the writer lets her daughter do whatever she likes

53. What does the underlined word “sentiment” in the last paragraph mean?

   A. Feelings       B. Story        C. Happiness       D. Actions

　　I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing,so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends,or something-anything!

Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.
One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked.
Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.
　German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
I was brought up in the countryside by my grandmother. She was a very courageous and inspiring woman and was very beautiful, too. In comparison with her or some of my classmates, I always felt that I was not beautiful or pretty. In fact, when I was studying in middle school, I thought I was not as good as other students and just because of these negative feelings, I was not very confident. One day, I went to the shoe shop to buy a pair of new shoes. When I got there, I noticed a foreign lady talking to a salesgirl. But the salesgirl didn’t understand what the foreigner was saying. They both looked worried. I went up to help them. The lady is an Australian. She wanted to buy a pair of travelling shoes. So I told it to the salesgirl. The lady was very glad when she took them. She spoke high praise for my spoken English and said that I was a pretty girl. Both of them expressed their thanks to me.
As a matter of fact, no one had ever praised me like that before. It was so encouraging. Suddenly I felt confident and happy. It is true that those words turned my life around.

I can’t swim because I have a strong fear of water. Look back on my childhood experience, I think three reason might explain the fear. The first reason is that I was not allowed to walking near the water when I was a child, for my mother had unreasonable fear of it.
