Once a rusty(生锈的) tin case(箱子) was plowed out by a farmer working in the field.He found an ancient book in it.It was so old that the papers were rotten and most of them became broken as turned.The farmer read it 11 ,and later he discovered that it was a book on 12 .
But try as he might he could not make out any of it apart from one paragraph 13 that on the Black Sea shores existed a pebble(鹅卵石) that could turn anything into gold.This pebble,some 14 said,unlike all the others,was warm to touch.Suddenly a strong desire struck deep roots in his mind that he would go to 15 the shores for the pebble,and so he did.
From dawn to dusk he would pick up pebbles and 16 them.To ensure he did not pick the same pebble twice,he would throw every picked pebble far out into the sea.
Searches 17days,weeks and then months.A year passed and then another, though every pebble he picked up was as cold as ice and he cast them away as 18 as he picked them.Now he had become so experienced at it that he could pick up a pebble and cast it with one smooth action.
At last he was bored with such 19 searches and nearly disappointed,doubting whether there was really such a pebble.
One evening as he was 20 his worn-out legs,leaving the beach after a whole day’s aimlesssearch,he saw a common pebble in front of him.”This will be the last one!”said the man hopelessly.With a sigh he bowed and picked it up with his spent hand.Not until he gathered all his
strength and threw it farther into the sea did he realized that it was warm and even a little hot,but it was too late.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Father’s Day,on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens.They give love and care.These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有瘾的人)” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes? In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress has a negative morale (心境，士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
36David Smith refers to himself as having been “ a clothes addict,” because____.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
37. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because____.
A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company
38. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
39 .According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
40. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT_____.
A. saving employees’ money B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ motivation D. making employees happier

43__________. 44__________. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff(硬挺的), black clothes were so heavy to a little girl that she hadn't enough breath left to be talkative, let alone(更不用说) naughty. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent to school from an early age.
However, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother. I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language, and we got up to the same mischief（恶作剧）.45 __________.
A.Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as strict-looking as that, you too would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her; Granny and her elder brothers.

C.I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wearing tight, stiff clothes.
D.I'm beginning to think whether my grandmother was right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren't as well-behavioured as they used to be.

F.She was taught to speak when she was spoken to and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you”

Have you felt annoyed when a cellphone rings in the middle of a class? Something must be done to stop this. In some areas of America, a rigorous policy is carried out in schools. Students can’t even bring cellphones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Many American parents think cellphones connect them to their children on buses, getting out from subways, and walking through unknown places.
What about the cellphone owners, the students? They said cellphones were essential and the cellphones were like extra hands or feet for them. “I feel so empty.” Said May Chom,14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my cellphone. It will be a really, really boring trip.” Some students claimed that they needed cellphones for emergencies. “If it’s really an emergency, the parents can call the school,” said Lisa Miller, a teacher.
