What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt（收据）? Or is it the look on the receiver’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?

       This Christmas I was wondering what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a dandelion(蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.

       I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details，another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, mixing together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.

Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped(打开) those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame（框架）, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

The native red squirrels were once a common sight across the mainland of Britain, now they are sparsely situated around Scotland, and places thought to be impossible to reach to the grey squirrels, such as the Isle or Wight and Anglesey. In fact more than 75% of Britain's estimated 160 000 red squirrels are found in Scotland.

Now they could become extinct in the next 20 years, as their population has dropped 50% in the last 50 years.

Grey squirrels carry a virus called the “pox virus”, first discovered in Scotland in 2005, which they are immune to（有免疫力的）, but it causes deadly disease to the red squirrels. Pox disease and the loss of much woodland over the UK have led to their decrease. They encounter another danger when it comes to predators(捕食动物), one of which is the Goshawk which are powerful birds of prey throughout the dark woodlands.

    Red squirrels are most at home among sweet chestnut, wild cherry, hazel and beech trees. They prefer to travel within the tree canopies rather than the woodland grounds, unlike grey squirrels.

Their ability to climb, swing and jump is actually unbelievable. You may have seen a squirrel in the past and noticed that it freezes when it has seen you move. They often stay frozen like that for up to 10 minutes, until they believe it's safe to move again.

They build up large nests called “dreys” made up of twigs, leaves and hair, in the forks or trunks of their chosen trees, and this is where they will breed(繁殖) and spend a lot of their night time when not out looking for food.

Their diet consists of seed, shrubs, nuts, shoots, flowers, and birds eggs if they are lucky enough to come across. They need to eat daily to keep up their energies. The autumn food harvest is important for their survival throughout the winter months.

28. Red squirrels are now found in places ___________.

  A. where there are a lot of grey squirrels     B. where there are few trees

  C. where there are no or few grey squirrels   D. where there is plenty of food

29. Which of the following is not a reason for the decreasing population of red squirrels?

  A. Pox disease.            B. The Goshawk.  

  C. Loss of woodland        D. The virus they carry.

30. Which of the following is TRUE about red squirrels?

  A. They look for food during the day. 

  B. They prefer to travel on the Woodland grounds.

  C. They like birds eggs the most.   

  D. They have to eat every day to keep up their energies.

31. We can infer from the passage that __________.

  A. red squirrels are in danger of dying out

  B. grey Squirrels are scattered around Scotland

  C. red squirrels are more important to the environment

  D. red squirrels have the same living habits as grey squirrels

A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them.

 Child—rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.

 The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured l7 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds．

 Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time．Here are some famous slip-ups.

The mother of Bill Gates: “ If you’ re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’ t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’ t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United State s and started his own war.”

Some pessimistic experts feel that automobile (汽车) is going to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.

The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to the problem is the automated highway system.

When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.

The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the high way. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.

28. One significant improvement in the future car will be ______.

   A. its power source B. its driving system C. its monitoring system      D. its seating capacity

29. What is the author’s main concern?

   A. How to make automobiles pollution-free.

   B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.

   C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.

   D. How to develop an automated subway system.

30. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?

   A. An engine.  B. A rail  C. A retractable arm.  D. A computer controller.

31. In an automated highway system, all the drivers needs to do is ______.

   A. keep in the right lane                      B. wait to arrive at his destination

   C. keep in constant touch with the computer center  D. inform the system of his destination by phone
