In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer.

Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to
graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her
classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few
courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went
to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no
encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to
college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the
farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead
of going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education.
When her children were grown, she tried again.
She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to
school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not
as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes
to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the
beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to
give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was
there and what her aims were.
49. Mrs. Hanson couldn’t go
to college immediately after she graduated from high school because ____________.
A. she hadn’t got enough money
B. she was a country girl
C. the banker ordered her not to borrow any money
D. the banker thought she should raise a family of nine children
50.
The computer students welcomed Mrs. Hanson warmly because ______.
A. she had got an excellent result in the exam
B. she was good at telling funny stories
C. they wanted to get her help in their studies
D. they were deeply moved by her spirit
51. Mrs. Hanson is the sort of person who ________.
A. cares for study very much
B. likes to borrow money from the bank
C. never misses a chance to talk
D. tries to save any money for her family
52. In which order did Mrs. Hanson do the following things?
a. she began her studies at college.
b. She finished high school.
c. She got married and gave birth of nine children.
d. She had her 73 rd birthday.

During the first week of October, I went on a holiday to Xi’an, which is really a very beautiful city. On October 1st, my parents and I got there by air. On reaching the land of xi’an, I felt very excited, because this was my first visit to Xi’an which I dreamed of for many years. My uncle came to meet us at the airport. How happy I was when I saw him, whom I didn’t meet for many years.
On October 2nd, with my uncle guiding we went to the Bell Tower. Happily I struck the old bell and enjoyed a good performance. Then we enjoyed a JiaoZi dinner.
On October 3rd, we paid a visit to the zoo where I made friends with monkeys.
In short, I was very happy in Xi’an city.
