Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.

Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.

I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.
    When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!

Our planet was born some billions of years ago. Ever since this planet has developed, it has surprised us human beings. No matter how much we human beings have developed technologically, we cannot ever create this kind of natural planet. The human race can only discover some amazing facts about it. Let us find out what some of them are.

On September 13, 1922 El Azizia, a place in Libya, recorded a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest temperature ever measured (测量) on the planet Earth. The highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela, which drops from an amazing height of 3,212 feet. The waterfall drops over the edge of Auyantepui in the Canaima National Park. The gravitational pull (万有引力) of the Earth can be escaped if someone moves at a speed of 6.95 miles per second. At such a speed, one could travel from New York to Philadelphia in just 20 seconds. If the entire water in the world’s oceans evaporated, the salt we got from these oceans could cover the entire planet with a 500-foot deep layer of salt. The deepest lake on Earth is Lake Baikal in Russia. Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world, containing about 20% of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water. The Andes in South America spreads over 4,525 miles. This is the longest mountain range (山脉) in the world.

Did you know that the biggest valley in the world is the Grand Valley in Mesa County, Colorado and Grand County, Utah? It is about 30 miles (48 km) long and 5 miles (8 km) wide, along the Colorado River. The amazing facts about the earth are too many to be told completely above.

34. The underlined word “evaporated” in Paragraph 2 most probably means“_____”.

A. became salt gradually

B. became clear slowly

C. changed into warmer water

D. changed into gas or disappeared

35. Where is the longest mountain range in the world?

A. In Russia.                        B. In Libya.

C. In South America.                 D. At the Oregon-Idaho border.

36.We can learn from this passage that _____.

A. Lake Baikal is the biggest lake in the world

B. the highest temperature ever measured was 136 ℃

C. the Angel Falls drops from a height of 3,212 meters

D. one end of the Grand Valley is in Colorado and the other in Utah

In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement(毕业典礼) day. Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in advance(预先).

Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

I was eighteen years old, fresh out of high school with a bright future to look forward to, when I received the "big" news that I got cancer. This was a big deal for someone of my age to stand. What should I do? Lost in self pity or fight for myself? I chose the second.

After four months of treatments, I overcame my difficulties and started to be a newperson—someone who took nothing for granted and who learned to appreciate everything and everyone around me. Years passed and I received my certificate (证书) in medical assisting,met a wonderful man, moved to New York and got married. Truly, life couldn't have been any better.

For years, I had always kept in touch with St.Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN and the children living with cancer who were being treated there. What a truly beautiful place! No patient was ever turned away regardless of ability to pay. As my 20-year anniversary (纪念日) of being a cancer survivor approached, I wanted to do something special. I organized a fund raiser, calling it "A Mission of Love," and thanks to my generous family and friends,raised $4,000 for St. Jude's. Three quarters of the money would be given as a donation (捐献) to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying toys for the children. I also had organized a T-shirt painting activity for the hospital.

My husband and I flew to Memphis with 50 T-shirts and a huge bag of cloth paint the day before Thanksgiving. We went to the toy store and filled three shopping carts with all kinds of toys. It was as though we were celebrities when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.

On Thanksgiving Day we pulled into the front gate of St.Jude. After dropping the toys off, we went to a waiting area where some children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. They picked out their shirts and my husband and I helped them get started. To see them smile was one of the greatest gifts I could have ever received. When the activity was over, we dropped off the donation to a kind worker, and our visit came to an end.

    D. the writer had a quite rich family. 

For 52 years my father got up at 5:30 am every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5:30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.

For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter.

On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me: my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm(动脉瘤) in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to. I vowed(发誓) that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior，but when you are asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't quite sure of yourself.

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment，but you don't raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up，you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive(防卫的). You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You're usually careful. You trust yourself. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.

33．According to the passage，a person，who is not willing to change his mind probably sleeps ________.

A．on his side       B．on his back

C．curled up         D．on his stomach

34．If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back，he maybe want to ________.

A．do things personally    B．stay alone

C．keep things secret      D．trust others easily

35．The main idea of this passage is that ________.

A．one's sleeping position has something to do with one's character

B．everyone has got both real and secret personalities

C．the position in which one goes to sleep is the most important one

D．when  awake，one does not show one's secret personality
