A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often follow you as you modeled (做模特) for fashion magazine. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling1in your life. I know little that you were2every penny you earned to go to3school.
I cannot thank you enough for4you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried5piles of law books. I was6.Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for7? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms8be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
Though I was young, your words kept9in my ears. I watched as you faced the10of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a11and a Mom of five kids. I was tired just watching you12. With your wise words in my13 mind, I suddenly felt free to dream. My whole world14. I set out to live my life filled with15, seeing endless possibilities for personal achievements.
Your words became my motto. I16found myself in the position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 17one of the few women (top medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your18, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and19meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m20it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin((空白處). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year,they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what
she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested-7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈開(kāi)) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”

Electric ears are dirty.In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are. covering their eyes---"If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat---at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical,and economic reasons,we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally, When cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
【小題1】 What does "clueless" mean in paragraph 2?

A.People are seeing the California Greens everywhere.
B.People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
C.People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D.People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning
coal, oil,etc.
【小題2】 What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Electric cars are not clean at all
B.Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C.People cast doubts on electric cars' batteries.
D.Gasoline is an efficient way to powera vehicle.
【小題3】 The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our ear run         
A.not less than 25 milesB.more than 25 miles
C.no more than 25 milesD.not more than 25 miles
【小題4】 According to the passage, electric cars                 .
A.do not burn fuel and more environmentally-friendly
B.a(chǎn)re toxic because it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their
batteries are buried in one spot.
C.a(chǎn)re very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D.a(chǎn)re poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
【小題5】 It can be inferred from the passage that                 
A.being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning
something
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D.electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered
cousins

In so many ways, cyberspace(網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
【小題1】We learn about a person in cyberspace only through  _________________.
【小題2】Why is the Internet a great place for exciting conversation?
【小題3】What makes online love relationship often fail?
【小題4】From the passage we can learn that the writer __________________________ looking for love on the Internet.

My ears are recently full of praising words from my friends such as, “ Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah,—I ______ to some degree, though I sometimes do want to______ them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his______ and how much they know about football apart from______ goals.

As an old saying goes: “ Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We______ not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good______ and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say______ about Beckham’s good looks.

    If we close our eyes, falling in deep______, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a______ meaning. If we don’t go deeper and are just satisfied with______ things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first______ has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant______ we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is______ of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it______ us, we will finally prove how much we have______ up, how much more sensible, mature , and intelligent we have become.
