Last week when I was sitting in my office,I heard an elderly lady talking on the phone about her husband.Her husband’s name was Ed.He dropped her off for her doctor’s appointment and was going to park the car and wait for her.She was so upset that she started to cry.I knew I should take action.
The lady told me her name was Helen and she called the restaurant she and her husband were going to have lunch at after her appointment to see if he was waiting for her there.She explained that she thought her husband parked the car in the parking lot and waited for her in the car but she didn’t find him there so she returned to see if he entered the medical building,but Ed was not there either.She regretted making her husband park the car alone since some signs of Alzheimer’s(早老年性癡呆病)had happened in his behavior.I asked a few nurses to help look for Ed inside and outside the medical building according to Helen’s description.Then I offered to drive Helen to the restaurant to see if Ed was waiting for her there.
On arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant,Helen began to search for Ed’s car but she failed,which suggested Ed wasn’t there.We decided to have a talk with the manager before we returned to the hospital.On our way to the manager’s office.I received a call from a nurse,who said they had found Ed.What a relief!  But we still needed to go on searching since he forgot where he parked his car! Fortunately, we didn’t have much difficulty finding it.
As I waved good-bye to the couple, I thought “This is true love in life.The love is not romantic but it stays with us all the time.’’
小題1:We learn from this passage that Ed    
A.went to the restaurant himself
B.might have developed Alzheimer’s
C.visited his friend in the hospital
D.worried about his wife very much
小題2:When did the author know that Ed was found?

C.The author went to see his doctor.
D.The author worked in the hospital.
小題4:The underlined word‘‘relief'’in the third paragraph means‘‘   ’’.

試題分析:上周,一對年老夫婦的經(jīng)歷讓我記憶猶新。老婦人找不到她的丈夫了,因為他沒有在約定的地方停車,她覺得這是早老年癡呆癥的前兆。所幸后來醫(yī)院護士找到了老人,夫婦終于又見面了。這就是愛的力量。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) “.She regretted making her husband park the car alone since some signs of Alzheimer’s(早老年性癡呆病)had happened in his behavior.”可知老婦人的丈夫可能患了早老年癡呆癥。故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“On our way to the manager’s office.I received a call from a nurse,who said they had found Ed.”可知他們找到旅館經(jīng)理之前就知道了老人的下落。故選 C。
小題3:推理判斷題。故事發(fā)生在一家醫(yī)院里,而文中作者是“when I was sitting in my office”在辦公室里,因此我應該是在醫(yī)院里工作。故選D。
小題4:詞義猜測題。在我們去詢問之前就被告知了老人的下落,因此心里應該是“寬慰的”,是一種舒服的感覺。故選 A。
小題5:推理判斷題。文章中的我一直在幫助老婦人找她的老伴,因此應該是熱心的。serious嚴肅的;hardworking努力的;experienced富有經(jīng)驗的。故選C。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time, some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called ______________.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. in general the person feels excited and ready to act
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.
“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”, says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-g irl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids.” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the student’s progress over a 6.5-month school year.
Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.
In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.
The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists.
“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored,” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
81.What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller? (no more than 15 words)(2 marks)
                                                                       
82.According to the research , what effect does a minority-girl class have on boy’s study?(no more than 8 words)(3 marks)

Herta Müller, the Romanian?born German writer, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.The award was announced in Stockholm.
Ms Müller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987.She is the first German writer to win the Nobel Prize for literature since Gunter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901.She is the 12th woman to get the literature prize.
But unlike Doris Leasing and V.S.Naipaul, Ms Müller is relatively unknown outside literary circles in Germany.“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms Müller said in a statement in Germany.“I can't say anything more at the moment.”
She has written about 20 books, but just five have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment”.
At a news conference at the German Publishers and Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms Müller, wearing all black and sitting on a big chair, appeared overwhelmed by all the cameras in her face.She spoke of the 30 years she spent under a dictatorship, describing “l(fā)iving with fear in the morning that in the evening one would no longer exist”.
When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned at the same moment as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Bll, Ms Müller remained calm.“I am now nothing better and I'm nothing worse,” she said.“My inner thing is writing.That's what I can persist_in,_and if nothing special happens, I will never give up.”
Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund,secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Ms Müller was honored for her “very, very special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about...and growing up as a stranger in your own family.”
小題1:Which of the following statements about Ms Müller is true?

century.
